Hello to the gurus and Nairaland family. I am grateful for all the information on the trend which I took advantage of although I have been a silent observer. So to give back here is my POE story!

Flew BA on the 21st of Oct from Abuja to London transit to Altanta. ( requested for wheelchair service but didn't get because of my 17month infant) so I had to walk all the way cos I checked in my stroller all the way to Atlanta.

On arrivals noticed I had to input my details on a computer but got a cancellation on my ticket(because my facial features weren't rightly done) after registering my detail /biometric ( same info as in landing card). The wait was like 1:30mins , cos they had to stamp the people who had no cancellations on their receipt/ticket and then the US citizens. I was asked to join the queue cos they noticed I was pregnant and sweating like a Christmas fowl lol! Wen i approached the CBP I heard the other office whisper it's a 7! The guy responded let's see how it plays out.

CBP: why are you going to Houston?
Me: for child birth
CBP: how long are you here for?
Me: four months
CBP: where will you be staying?
Me: with my relative
CBP:how much cash do you have on you
Me:$1400
CBP: how will you be paying for your bill?
Me: I have a form A from my bank to settle my hospital bill and I have my card for my dr's bill upon arrival.
CBP: he calls out to someone saying she's a yellow and Sends me for secondary inspection.

Met other people waiting and after 5mins I was called
CBP: why are you here?
Me: for child birth
CBP: do you have a Dr confirmed ?
Me: shows him Dr F's correspondence and package
CBP:how much cash do you have on you?
Me: $1400
CBP: how will you be paying ?
Me: dr's fee via my card Upon arrival and hospital via my form A which I will scan to my hubby after getting all the details completed. ( trying to bring out my statement and cards he waves at me to forget it)
CBP: stamps me and my daughter for 6 month , wished me safe delivery and told me to always carry my receipt every time I travel .

I thank God for favour and journey mercies as I am settled in Houston after spending the night in Atlanta. Dr's Appointment is next week. Using Oak bend and already opened an accnt and dr's fee is ready for 20% discount. Wishing other mums a safe trip and success POE story as well as safe delivery.
