Hello house,

I have been a silent reader and must commend u guys for all your efforts on educating peeps like me on childbirth in the US. I renewed my visa first week in October 2016 and found out I was pregnant in late October 2016. Sent in my change of intent letter in December 2016, got a response that I should send in my passport details and name as it is on my passport. I did that then got the generic response.

So in the spirit of giving back, will like to share my POE experience with you all.

Left Gidi on the 30th April for Chicago on Emirates airline, every was smooth just that the flight was long.
Fast forward to JFK, i met the cbp officer and the interview went like this:

CBP: where u coming from?
Me: Nigeria
CBP: what u here for?
Me: vacation and childbirth
CBP: how many weeks are you?
Me: 33 weeks
CBP: when are you due?
Me: June 10,2017
CBP: who you staying with?
Me: my uncle and his wife
CBP: how much do you have on u?
Me: 9660$ cash and some on my card
CBP: ok gimme some minutes

He took my passport inside and at this point I am like God just take control and I kept praying in my mind.

Next he came outside stamped me in as B2 till October 2017 and said have a nice stay.

That's how I entered ooo and moved on to agriculture, scanned 2 of my bags and I was on my way....
Flew Emirates to JFK then south west jet airlines to Chicago midway airport. Now in Chicago chilling for Lo to arrive... hehehe... thank God.
Thank you guys for every.

PS: I ll like to say we shouldn't always discourage peeps that renew their visa and decide to go for childbirth instead of vacation as stated when renewing cos once u have sent in your change of intent letter, have enough cash and say the truth then you should be fine.

Thank you guys again.

Good Morning all the very good people of this thread. Please dont eat me raw even if i mistakenly step on your toes by asking what i am about to ask. i just need help. i had a child in the US in 2015 and my( including my hubyy's and daughter's) visa expired January 2017. my International passport expired as well and while renewing it i decided to do a name change to my marital name, meanwhile my previous passport and visa bore my maiden name. Now, i want to renew my visa and dont know how best to go about it inorder to be successful. Please dearies, has anyone been in my situation before or has an idea on what to do? Please @Justwise and other guru's help. Thanks in advance.

iphiechuks:
Sup, there is really no big deal about the name, from ur info, u and your family qualify for dropbox, all u need to do is while feeling the DS160 form, your maiden name will serve as named previously used while your marital name will be the current one. While submitting your document, you need to submit both passports cos they usually request for current passport and previous passport with already issued US visa.
my 2cents.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a silent reader and going for the birth of my 2nd child. i just need an opinion and review on Airbnb. Anybody with experience with Airbnb accommodation cos i'm about to book for a place in Richmond Tx via the site.

I would appreciate your opinions and advice. Thanks in advance.

maumau:
Hello good people, please can someone please assist to link me with a doctor's contact details and a hospital in Florida.i intend to have my baby in the US/Florida and would want to initiate the process.

Would appreciate a prompt response

sugah:

You would need to read the reviews of the particular listing you are interested to rent. Oyinbos say it as it is, so if there's a problem with the listing you are sure to see it in the reviews.


.....that said, I used Airbnb for my missionary journey and my host was super awesome just like the other reviewers mentioned.

Be sure to confirm that your proposed listing is family friendly

Bbsy:
Thank you but the thing now is the listing i want to go for doesn't have any reviews yet and one of the reason i'm interested in that particular listing is because the owner is a Nigerian.

sugah:

Question is, is the host being a Nigerian the only reason you are considering the listing?
Does the listing have all that you require?

You could send the host a mail and have a chat with him/her.. from there you might be able to judge the kind of person he/she is.


... although I have a feeling you might be having some"unusual" expectations cos of the owners nationality.

Good evening everyone,

Thank you guys for giving me so much information before my arrival.

So it's time to give back.
Arrived Washington DC on friday Morning 8:00am with my B1/B2 visa.

Got to the POE
CBP hello ma'am
Me: all smiles good morning
CBP : What did you come to do in America
ME: I came for a conference and also to have my baby
CBP: oh your pregnant
Me : yes ma'am
CBP: Where are you staying,
ME : with a friend in Maryland, she is a student.
CBP: how much do you have
Me : I have $8000 with my dollar master card
CBP: can the card be used here
Me: yes ma'am
CBP: make sure you pay all your bills with zero bal receipt so that you yo won't be refused entrance to America next time.
ME: ok ma'am I will
CBP: Welcome to America
She stamped me in for Six months and said that all you can go.

This didn't take 5minutes
Then got to the second POE for luggage check,
CBP: what do you have in your bag
Me: egusi, ogbono, fish, Maggi and other
CBP: hope you don't have Ororo I said no.
CBP: have made arrangement with the hosipta you want to use,
I
ME: in Washington not really but a hospital sent me bills from Chicago, I brought out the paper and showed him.
CBP: what do you do for work
Me: I told him
CBP: how many kids do you have
Me : I told him
CBP: who is taking care of them
Me : I told him
CBP: ok have a nice time and have a safe delivery.
Me : thank you very much Bye.......

When we landed in Washington, I went to the rest room brushed my mouth and added some makeup so I was French enough to look into anybodys eyes.

Pls stop if you have a B1/B2 visa you can go into America to give Birth all you need is to be confident and have enough funds to pay ur bills.
I won't advice you go on vacation first before coming back to give birth that a whole lot of expenses. Just prepare yourself confidently and everything will be fine.

I don tire to type. Take care.

Hospital is Emory Midtown. Doc is Tates. We have not booked an air ticket yet (hoping to have the airlines drop fares with sales). Due in Aug, travelling in July.

We would have done TX too but Atlanta is where we have accommodation.

Are you also planning to go to Atlanta? What info do you have already?

ndmum:
Hi. I'm using Emory Midtown. That's where Dr Tate takes deliveries. For a vaginal delivery using a doctor like mine ( a doctor outside of emory with rights to deliver in emory), I am required to pay 3900 for the use of the facility and 425 for epidural. Total 4325. The doctors bill is not included in this amount.

I suggest you google Emory and contact them on details on delivery billing. They repsond satisfactorily.


Hello ndmum, pls I hve googled dr Tate at Emory hospital but the do not put their email on their site, can u pls direct me on how I can email the hospital and doctor. And all the best in your delivery

bomly:
Hello House,

Arrived Florida and POE experience was smooth. Should be in Houston in 2days as I plan using Oakbend Medical Center, however I am still trying to finalize accommodation issues because I traveled with my LO and would like her to attend school as well as closest to Oakbend MC, any recommendation would be fine from momas who used Oakbend in the past.

AndiBose2:


In my opinion, being a Nigerian(or African) host matters mainly because we are aware of what you are in town for and there is a little bit more compassion. Oyinbo and other African Americans(from what I've heard) treat you like you're doing something illegal. Then there is the issue of racism and that's the last thing you want to expose yourself to when you're pregnant. It happens still in 2017.
