Leomichael:
Is there a limit to how much you can carry in cash? Why was the CBP making reference to $10,000?

Yes, I understand that if you carry up to $10,0000 , you will fill a form so to avoid all the questioning, I didn’t take up to that

cindermum:
Congratulations madam. I responded to your question in May. Sometimes when ppl don't respond to questions its mostly because they aren't sure and don't want to mislead the person.

I was there, a short queue but wasn’t moving.after almost 10minutes, First cpb shows up and called my name, Yetunde, please come with me. My heart skipped.he said I’m supposed to go to the secondary inspection first before coming down for baggage inspection. On our way back up, he asked if it’s my first baby inUS and I said yes but I have other children already, then he asked if I was using oakbend and dr F, I said yes oakbend but drZ, then he said he must be new there cos he doesn’t know him.he was very friendly. We got to secondary inspection and he said I should sit, he pointed at me and handed my passport to another cpb,Not many people were there but we’re all looking serious. I sat with one Nigerian lady that we flew together and she wa whispering to me that this place is hot o. I kept a straight face too. After about five minutes, he called me and said let’s go.he took me bag to baggage inspection, on our way, he said make sure you pay all your bills, don’t accept Medicaid, insurance or tip. Make sure you read everything before you sign and get al your receipts. We got to baggage inspection, he took me straight to the front, asked me to go sit down and handed over my passport to the cpb there, who called baggage people to go get my bag,after about 15 minutes, he called me, gave me my passport and asked me to proceed to the custom then baggage inspection, they asked me if I have dried ponmo, I said yes and they opened my bag and seized it and that was all. I checked my passport and saw that I was stamped for 6 months, I didn’t even know the point where it was stamped , like I said I read this thread from part one and learnt everything here.

[quote author=cindermum post=67123935]Before end of the 36th week, it's 5450 after the 36th week 6950 USD. It's on their website, look it up.

If you can change your Poe then go ahead but I know it's not as bad as you have stated. Just be prepared and pray for a smooth entry.

Go to the search bar and type Houston Poe , then narrow the search to travel.





Thanks so much sis.


Please do I need hospital correspondence to show at the POE? I only have correspondence with the doctor and I read here that people show their correspondence with the hospital at the POE.please help a sister out

Good evening people, please do I need a letter or correspondence from my hospital to present at the POE? I have doctor’s correspondence and acceptance letter but I didn’t communicate with the hospital I’m using at all, do I need to communicate with hospital too?

Good day everyone, please does anyone know the new oakbend hospital fee for Vigina delivery? Secondly, some people told me that Houston POE is very tough, meanwhile I had already booked my flight.another person even said I should change my flight and go through somewhere else regardless of how much it will cost me, please those who have gone through Houston POE please share your experience, thanks
