Hello house!
I have shared visa and Poe experience so it's time to share my birthing experience.
I stayed in Michigan till a week to my EDD before I left for Chicago
I had my LO on Wednesday 19th of July in Chicago. A day after delivery my LO's birth certificate was ready but cldnt get it till after I was discharged (I fast tracked it).I was discharged on Friday evening..went to vital records to get the BC. Had an appointment with the paediatrician On Tuesday after I was discharged and LO was certified okay...I got a fit to fly for my LO from the paediatrician cos I was gonna travel to NY and domestic airlines need certification for infants less than 14days to fly. Went back to Michigan on weds.

Called Qatar airways Customer Care to get my LO ticket and was charged $150.(note that I got my ticket from wakanow but booked LO directly)
Hubby mailed notarized form thru FedEx (I was very disappointed in their service) after several calls to them I eventually got the package on Saturday after which I left for the airport to board plane to NY.

On Monday I went to NY passport office very early as walk in and I met a very long queue...eventually after 5hrs I made it in and my passport was processed for $165 I waited to collect it...left there around 9pm. On Tuesday I sent a mail for visa on on arrival to the immigration and got a reply after 5 hrs..
On Wednesday, Got to the airport checked in all my over weight luggage (3 big luggages 2 for me and 1 for baby) no extra charges the guy was too nice, checked in baby stroller and car seat and my supposed overweight hand luggage..lol...
Had 9 hrs layover at Doha was lodged in a hotel...slept for 3hrs before we were taken back to the airport..got to naija on Friday morn..got my luggage and went to the visa on arrival section...paid $200 and I was given change of $10 lol...
I left NY exactly 14 days(2weeks) after LO arrival.
We are doing great...just adapting to this no light country again..lol..
Thanks everyone who helped out in this journey.. o appreciate you all.. God bless

Please how did you go about the visa on arrival?

Just do.it immediately @ the hospital. Dont wait to come.bqk to naija.. it will be too painful for the child then.

[quote author=SuperDad post=59230874]In my humble opinion, it's a bit of a dicey and personalized issue. Dicey and personalized in that circumcision, being procedural removal of the male foreskin, has different methods (being a procedure)...which determines the end appearance. This appearance, however may not be exactly what you may have pictured because 'end-appearance-preferences' are somewhat culturally influenced. So my advice is ensure the "outcome" looks like what you have in mind by getting info from those who've had their sons circumcised by the intending physician... Or simply do it here in Naija where the norm you likely have in mind is prevalent. Redo circumcisions aren't cute.



Thanks Superdad

Please any advice on circumcision in the US? Or better wait till you get back to naija?
