Also I want to give NJ mums a quick review of St May's Hospital... Very nice, it was not so busy at their L and D last week when I had baby! Good luck to all mums to be!

mamsiey:


Hi, I want to use St Marys for my next delivery next year. I already have the packages but I’m looking for accommodation in the area. I’m sending you a pm.

lilyemmy:


Alright

Beautyaddy:


The financial benefits will be that the child will eventually have trio-citizenship from three countries of Nigeria/Canada/US instead of dual-citizenship of two countries Nigerian/Canadian.

So yes, there is some financial benefits to it.

lynniebabes:
Hey house. My USA visa was denied... today my Canada visa was approved.... I’m so happy!

zoemummy:
Not correct.

From experience, your US child won't get Canadian PPR. You choose Canada or US. No tri-citizenship as implied.

A friends wife just arrived at my place from Nigeria to give birth here in the US. She’s not due not until mid January but she was surprisingly given only 30 days to be in the country at the airport after she was asked what is her purpose here which she told them she came to have proper medical care to give birth. She had earlier been here about 2 months ago with her husband Which they stamped them 6 months stay. They 30 days stay is not even enough time for her to put to bed. She didn’t notice this on her passport not until when she got to my place so she went back to the airport and the immigration officials said there’s nothing they can do about it. Please, any advice of what she can do in this situation. Thanks

babestell:

chibertha:
You are to pay with a foreign bank account card as I have learnt from this forum.

Tahtianah:

Susom:
I havent but I madr enquiries and I have some numbers, i can forward to your mail.

Ralphlauren:


I will suggest that you read up on FATCA.

why create unnecessary bottlenecks for your kids in future?

at the end of the day, your child cannot be in two or three countries at the same time.

I just paid $180 for my LO visa on arrival with my Firstbank VISA Dollar card but the form has something like, 'you are to pay $90 at point of entry'. What's the experience in the house just to be sure?

KennyMKO:
Good day folk, just to give back to this forum.
My family and I landed in Houston Texas yesterday at precisely 4.05pm(11.05pm Nigerian time) on Emirates Airlines.
Firstly, for those that need 'fit to fly' to travel to the US ensure you insist that your Dr states clearly your EDD on the letter as some Airlines(including Emirates) have some unwritten rules pertaining the letter now.If the EDD is not reflected on your 'fit to fly', make sure you have a very recent ultrasound scan to back the letter or have your Dr's mobile number handy to avoid being disallowed from embarking the aircraft. Again, get to the airport early to avoid unnecessary pressure and to create enough time for scrutiny by the airliners.
On getting to IAH Houston POE, the following ensued:

Me: Good day
CBP Officer: Passport
Me: Forwarded my family passports
CBP Officer: How many of you?
Me: 5
CBP Officer: Ok
CBP Officer: Why are you here?
Me: For vacation and childbirth
CBP Officer: Looks at my wife, your wife is pregnant right?
Me: Yes
CBP Officer: You have family here right?
Me: No
CBP Officer: How much do you have with you?
Me: XYZ Dollars cash, ABC Dollars in card
CBP Officer: Where do you work?
Me: DEF company in Nigeria
CBP Officer: How long have you been there?
Me: 13 years
CBP Officer: What's the company into?
Me: It's into .....
CBP Officer: You have been here before? Is this their first time(pointing to my family)?
Me:Yes I have been here over 10 times,was here in August. No my wife and first two children were here before, the last is coming for the first time
CBP Officer: Are you coming to live here?
Me: No
CBP Officer: How long will you be here?
Me: 5 weeks
CBP Officer: Ok, four fingers on the scanner.
My passport alongside my children's were stamped in for 6months after matching their passports with them one after the other. He then called my wife to fourprint her fingers. Afterwards, he gave me my children'spassports and my passport to me and told my wife to step aside while we should go and wait for her. We waited for 2 hours downstairs before she appeared. She was taken for secondary scrutiny. She said her interview was not more 5 minutes but people were many in the room. From her experience there, it's very important to have a believable story. One woman was about to be returned to Nigeria because her story was somehow awkward and easily faultable. The woman agreed that she is pregnant when asked but her return ticket is 25th December meanwhile she has about 12 weeks before her EDD. When asked if she intends to deliver in USA, she said she may if she enters labour before leaving. Another woman came with 3 children, one of them a US Citizen. She forgot her Zero balance and Itemized bills in Nigeria. Though they eventually stamped her in , but they warned her to never forget to travel with it next time. Another Permanent Resident was also taken for secondary interview because he has gone out of America for long.
It's obvious that the Officers have stiffened up than before due to the Top Stance to Birth Tourism.

I wish everyone preparing to come or preparing for Visa Interview all the very best but preparation and overpreparation is extremely imperative.

What port of entry was this ?

sucre26:
Good day house. Please I’m confused with this whole visa in arrival thing. Thought we are just meant to send an email with baby’s details and a confirmation wil be sent back. Then we pay in Nigeria upon arrival. Is there another way someone is meant to do it?

Leomichael:


you are right but you can also pay online which I advise since it is working now. I have heard of people that had it rough because their cards did not work at POE. You may want to have a US based card to be sure.

Ebony84:
I've been trying to pay with my Bank of America card online and it's not going through. Apparently BOA doesn't allow transactions from Nigeria. Only option left now is my Naira card, just waiting for it to be registered.

Has anyone ever used a Naira card for voa?

ericdundee:
I submitted a visa application for Renewal under drop box but got a 212G form when I went to pick up my passport. I was required to reschedule a visa appointment which was supposed to be in February 2019. But all of a sudden I was moved to a weekend in October 2018.
I attended the interview and was accused of lying about reasons for procuring my original US visa. No documentation was requested from me by the interviewing officer. He just said he didn’t believe me and then he gave me the blue 214b slip and the 212(a)(6)(C)(i) Material Misrepresentation.
I have read about the 212 Material Misrepresentation and it carries a lifetime ban. I have approached an immigration lawyer to write to the consulate and this has been done… but the US consulate has not responded.
I am a law abiding citizen who notified the US consulate in writing well beforehand that I would be traveling to the US to have a baby and I paid all my bills.
Does anyone know what I can do to get a solution as I believe I am the victim of discrimination, erroneous and arbitrary determination that I have made a material misrepresentation to the US government.

Leomichael:


It bounced my naira master card at first. I didnt fuss...just went straight to use dollar visa card still nigerian bank.

Try a visa card if you have one.
