beginningathome:

It could take a little while to get your birth certificate. Sometimes 4 weeks, sometimes 8 weeks. Expect about that long. It's not really possible to hurry along the birth certificates, they kinda work on their own time frame.

Actually it doesnt take that long to get the birth cert. Usually an official would come to the hospital and give you the neccessary documents to fill and if u pay for expedited you'd get it in like 8 working days and if not you'd get it in like 15 working days. Passport works the same way, pay for expedited and you'd get it within 2 working days to 8 working days. Next in Naija visa. This would take approximately 2 weeks using an agent. If you are in Atlanta or New York it would be faster.

With expediting everything, within 4 weeks after birth you can be back in Naija

Oballer: Dear NL Moms,

Congratulations on all safe deliveries and advance congrats to all expectant moms.

God bless you all for the useful resource you post on this thread...so so helpful
We are considering using OAKBEND medical center and Dr. Fagbohun, would appreciate first hand info from moms who have used them recently. Also:
1) recommendation on closest, safe & affordable accommodation (for 2 adults & 1 toddler- 10weeks stay)
2) Experience/ advise on feeding & transportation
3) any useful recommendation to guide our travel plans scheduled for Mid October- late December.

Merci beaucoup!

U can try sunsuites of sugarland, stafford. I think it's not too far from Richmond (Google map).
Other Mama's using Oakbend medical centre should try help out.

toitoi: @aykanbi I haven't decide on the hospital to use , I could not get information about Mihs. Please if you don't mind can you send the details about Mihs

That was the plan but the way things are set up now, will probably leave late October . Whichever way, if you are planning to use mihs, we can still hook up.

I called the women clinic, got put thru to alba and she asked some basic . Age DOB, and d date I plan to come in and then she booked me for financials and told me it would take up to 2 weeks to get a docs appointment but I have to be physically present to do that. Here's the no you can call her.

Sorry about the denial maam. Can you reapply alone? how far gone are you? .
Mirror mirror on the wall, sad hhmmmm i am trying to read the VO's mind,It seems the VO used her discretion to deny you or she wasnt comfortable with the earnings declared,coupled with the fact that you in particular havent travelled out before. At the end its all favor jare.

@brooklyn20. True. Can you apply alone with your hubby as the sponsor. I guessed the VO just felt both of you travelling for childbirth and tourism and staying in a hotel........ she didn't think you guys are up to it. They just read through us and interpret

This is exactly why i'm against people dropping contact details of Drs or hospitals here, many members here are now using it indirectly to advertise for some Drs/hospitals. People get commission and discounts for recommending certain hospital or Dr.

@justwise, am new to do this forum, but from what I read , they said people should leave any information they have here so that everyone will benefit from it.i dont see a problem when someone leave doctors contact or information , it makes it easy for us .Please what can you do to this situation.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by brooklyn20: 4:49pm On Aug 28, 2014
It's so sad to see ones plan and effort go down the drain. Hubby was very sad and kept quiet all through our way back. Checking our docs she would have seen it that we are more than capable of going and paying all our bills comfortably. But she didn't collect a single paper from us. Really don't want to get a second denial

Varvara:

Hi! we have the same problem. It was my husband case. But we were applying together and we stacked right now both of us with decision. They gave paper to my husband to send some background docs, he is IT specialist. We send everything on email on the next day. Right now is almost 4 weeks how we are waiting. In the next week we'll write mail to know about our visa status, because on the paper they tell it takes 4 weeks. More over, we suppose to fly in 11 of September. It's so weird to don't know about your visa when you have travel less in two weeks (((( I'm 34 weeks.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by lizcom25: 5:33pm On Aug 28, 2014
@brooklyn20. It could be painful. You can still reapply. It's what they think first before they ask for documents. So its important to be composed and confident, any slip will give a wrong impression. I have seen a situation in 2013 when three of us went for the visa, they granted 2 of us but the third person was rejected. Reason: He looked ruffled when asked questions
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by T4Tough(f): 5:49pm On Aug 28, 2014
@brooklyn 20 and others what about me that applied alone would you guys also suggest i apply with My spouse and probably Book for a hotel that might give me a better chance? I believe for her not to request for any document she has already made up her mind from the onset cos My monthly income is substancial and i had a bank statement of 3x of My budget. I guess its one of those things not every one would ve a success story the First time out.

Brooklyn there are many cases where the VO won't check documents and just deny. They have your DS 160 and most decisions are made in few seconds of glancing through that document. NIV visas are hardly granted on the weight of documents taken to the embassy,the interview itself is more important than documents.

@T4Tough, @Brooklyn20...both of you should reapply again, even with your spouses. In all, pray 4 God's Favour and I pray u won't meet with that lady again.
