Sis is it close to Doctor Parati ?


manythanks

I don't know yet but what's important should be it's closeness to your doctor's. I will be there in few days. Still resting in Dallas.

ozycy:
you people are seriously enjoying over there. This your accommodation make sense at that price and with all the services rendered. Dunno why the ones in Houston aren't Dis cheap. Elpaso on my mind

Houston accommodation is expensive but amongst them all, Soulcare is the cheapest. I would have used them, if I hadn't changed doctors and hospitals a month to my departure.

Please what's wrong with buying baby things from Amazon..? quote author=DeeandGLady post=34114864]

@Mum2bee thanks, I will try the stores apart from Amazon, there are somethings I just won't buy on amazon, that includes baby stuff.[/quote]

All the American stores also resell on amazon. Just do a search for what you want and make sure the reseller is the store. I buy baby clothes from carter's and sometimes when I don't find what I want on carters.com, I go to amazon and buy from Carter's, they usually have overstock.

DeeandGLady:


Thanks zeezahbee, I hope they wont be asking me for documents and bills that carry my name and address Like chase bank(chase closed my account because it was not active for a while and they came up with new policy now they are asking for docs I don't have to re-open, that bank sef )? As for buying on amazon baby stuff is a No No for me, I have prime membership but I will rather do the american stores.

mamades:

They are still an agent but they will link you up with a doctor. You get a letter from the doctor as well.

Hi all. Been a silent reader. Am an August mum planing to leave for Houston in July . Am still having trouble sorting out accommodation. Pls someone recommend accommodation for me in Houston. I'll be using WHMC. Thanks

Reply my pm

Hello All, I am travelling in July via United to Florida (Connecting at Houston).
Anyone going to Florida, let us meet up so we dont get bored...lol

I don't think you not having a job is a problem, if you are applying for birthing purposes just ensure your husband's statement and your own can cover all your cost. If you are asked about work I don't think there is a crime if you stopped working because of your pregnancy rather than you were let go. As for your name if you have an official change of name thy will ask you what you new legal name is. This happened to me when hubby and I applied. The name on my passport was still my maiden name they collected my husband's passport for his visa that day and gave me 5days to go and change my passport to my new legal name which can only be done in Immigration office Abuja. Also a couple before us were asked why they came from Lagos to do visa application in Abuja and from all indications the guy refused them saying they should reapply in Lagos. So you need to prepare an answer for that.

Hello all,

Please who should a fit to fly letter be addressed to. Quite urgent pls. Thanks all

Tell ur Doctor to address as ' To whom it may concern'. I addressed mine like dat and flew with it.

For those dat are scared of using Houston as Poe , fear no more . Go ahead. I had a successful entry on sunday. Though I was delayed cos many people were sent to undergo secondary inspection including other pregnant mamas. So those Cbp officials were actually taking their time. When it got to my turn, this conversation ensued.
Me: good morning
Cbp: morning, what are u here for?
Me: to have my baby
Cbp: any supporting document?
Me: gave him all d email print out including d change of intent letter I wrote to d embassy and doctor's correspondence. He collected them and asked me to sit down. He carefully went through the emails and gave them back to me.
Cbp: where are u gonna stay?
Me: told him
Cpb: business or relation?
Me: business
cbp: how much did they charge u?
Me: 1500 usd per month
Cbp: hmm, Dat's a lot.
me: yes but it involves feeding, transportation, accommodation and other complementary services.
cbp: how much do u have in cash?
Me: 9980 usd.
cbp: ok, I knw dat place. It's a serene neighbourhood and u can walk to d hospital. Make sure u pay all ur bills and collect receipts. You are cleared. He stamped me in for six months.
me: thank you.
I was so happy wen I heard his last statement. Indeed God is wonderful. I went to pick up my luggage singing for joy. Other pregnant mamas were also cleared.
My advice: pray, have copies of ur email communications with d doctor and hospital, make sure u have enof cash and do not lie.

when is the best time to get fit to fly? is it ok to get it 7/8days before departure?

is the email correspondence with the doctor different from the hospital. My doctor only told me how much the hospital will charge me? i only have correspondence with the doctor which include hospital charge?

hadetola:

No. Should be within 72 hrs to departure. 7 days is a whole week. A lot can change in baby's growth in a week.

Minimum deposit us 25USD and they have a new policy of charging 12.5$ monthly if the account runs with less than 500usd like fixed deposit...so to avoid the charge, the account should have 500 $ at least in it every month

I advise you start looking for an alternative hospital around your place of stay,with the flooding in texas came so many reptiles,and the govt has not yet cleared the environment..

I always like to say a shout out to all Elpaso people ,how unna dey hope u guys are doing great,and to the forum members happy children s day..
