Original copy

Hi for those who maybe considering using hackensaw mountainside hospital in New Jersey for child birth , their fees have been increased effective Aug 1st from $3800 to $8900. Most of their affiliate doctors are still quoting the old price, pls call the hospital directly to re confirm.

car rental is per day.. and there is a compulsory "collision damage insurance" factored in per day on the rented car..

I'm in a super mood so i'll chime in so your time is not wasted, & can make alternative arrangements.

1.If you had taken some time to read through, you'd have observed that its been long established that chicago OBGYNS & HOSPITALS do not respond to either emails or accept patient responsibility in absentia....
Look for another location to get hospital & Dr, when you get to chicago, you can then walk into either.

2..This is a PSA; Do not go in through chicago POE, it is a straight F***ed up POE, go in through JFK...

Thanks @modath for being kind enough to reply my request .
Issue now is I have applied with his house address on my DS160. So can I use correspondence from another doctor in another city for visa interview or can I change my DS160 details after I have an interview date.

*steps into the forum. Looks right. Looks left. Can't find any of the oldtimers- Uchetobi, FinanceFitness, Stepedie, Olu of El-Paso, Phema etc***

Well! Well!! Well!!! It feels good to be here again. Congrats to the new visa receivers , freshest mums and the new babies in the house.@ Justwise nice job! The thread's grown from grace to grace. Raising a child is a thing of joy, but it's unspeakable when he/she is an american citizen.

My son clocked one last month. 'couple of weeks after wifey declared she has "chop belleful" again. As a result of the "missionary activities" we had engaged in, we are now gearing up for the 2nd missionary journey. However, we are leaning towards Atlanta, GA this time.........To ATL 2015/16 class captain! Present Ma!!! Lols

@ Nogen congrats...I envy ur DH. Lols...pls could u share d details of the doctor u used in El-Paso? Pls u can also send to tonye_briggs0007@yahoo.com in case it'd be tagged as an advert hereon. Thanks and God bless ur LO's

Hello sir.... Phema is still very much here.... And I am as well courtesy of my second journey too.

Congrats on your son's first birthday and wishing your wife a stress free pregnancy and safe delivery later in the year/next year.

Not only for obgyn and childbirth o. I think anything medical generally.

a friend of mine has a sister that is terribly ill frm renal disease. When I was stilk in hosp I called the Nephrology dept and after plenty grammar and begging for urgent help, the doc just said I cannot provide documentation to bring her here. If you can get her to US, we can do our best to help her.

I wanted to cry.
And the babe us so visibly sick, I dont even know how she can make an interview.

I think RUSH university medical center respond to emails and take international patients. The bill is approx. $25k in total.
Mercy Hosp also resoonds but I dont know if they take appts via email. For.most others you must show up in person. Na wa!

You can leave the DS 160 as it is if you have submitted. Withdrawing it will mean rescheduling your appointment and that might affect your travel plans. Get another hospital in another state and go with their correspondence. If asked why you filled one state and going to another, say you will be spending some time at your relative's before heading to the other state for childbirth and might go back to your relative's when you are done. That you were unable to get a hospital with an all inclusive maternity package for people without insurance at your relative's location. As you will need this to know what you are up against and not get slammed with unexpected bills. No biggie.
