tyty24: Hi people, I have followed the message threads and I would like to
thank everyone who has contributed positively to this forum.
But I have sone few concerns and I need some urgent suggestions.
I applied while single for a B1/B2 non immigrant visa un 2012 and I
was issued a 2 year visa which will be expiring in december this year.
I got married last year and I'm 5 months pregnant will be due in nov.
I travelled in may this year and returned in june with no hassles.
Let me go straight to the point.I intend to have my first baby in the
US. but is it advisable I still use my valid visa and make my intentions
known when I get to the POEand I present my marriage certificate to
them or should I renew my visa?
I will be residing in arlington Dallas. does anyone have any idea of an
affordable hospital and a doctor one can contact for gynae.

Mrsfad2014: hello people, pls i need advise seriously, i will be due in Jan but plan to travel in Oct. I have 2 years visa which i Av used with my family in dec last year to stay in Florida for a month. My agent said i need to send mail to embassy to tell them of my intention to delivery in the US. Pls is it compulsory to do that? If yes, which address will i send the mail ? My visa is still valid April 2015. Furthermore, i need help in getting a self catering studio in Houston, anywhere close to WHMC as i plan using the hospital. I will appreciate any info.

@ Hawtmum, I went to PG and they said the bill is 10k without doctor's fee and anesthesiologist (if needed). When were you there cos I went there last month

acube2002: @hawtmum : Can you please help with Dr A.G Chaudry/Dr Akoda email address or phone number to contact them would appreciate it , Thanks .

dserious: @hawtmum, you are so lucky to get that bill from PG, I called and was told 10-12k for CS delivery, and dat excludes doc's fees n anestheologist. I dont want to risk hoping for discount and get stuck with huge bills if im not lucky.

Infact i also checked with Holy cross hospital and d cost was about d same. Maryland is so expensive, wish i can get something cheaper there, else i ll kuku stick with dear cheap MIHS.

Mrsfad2014: Hello House, I sent a mail to Dr La at WHMC and got a reply that his fee is $3400 excluding pediatric and some other things. I feel that's too much, can anyone in the house help me with any other good Doctor that will not charge this much in WHMC. Thanks

Grateful2014:
Don't know a lot about ticketing, so can't help. However, I think ticket to the US in the range of N280k - N330 will be reasonable.

On UK transit visa, no you do not need it if flying BA. I know this may be difficult to believe, I checked their website at the time and also wrote British deputy high commission in Lagos. UK boarder agency's site said no, Embassy said yes, so had to fly separately with my sis at the time. But when I flew, we didn't go through immigration, so I was comfortable buying a BA ticket for my mum later.

On when to notify embassy, will say asap. I notified the embassy November last year and didn't travel till end of April this year.

dammiejolaade: Hello, please I will like to know the cost implication for child delivery in Arizona and including cheapest accommodation. Thanks

princessrbt:


@Mrsfad2014, is WHMC your last option? If not and if you don't mind going to Dallas, Matlock ObGyn in Arlington Dallas charge $2000 for gynecologist and btw $100-$200 for sonogram/test. And if you need accommodation, let me know I can link you up. Also, what do you mean by self catering studio in one of you previous post.

justwise: @All

Please be mindful of who you contact in private for accommodation or other services relating to child birth in US, not everybody here can be trusted. When you get scammed please don't come back here to accuse Seun and mods of covering scammers as some have alleged before.

Thank you.

Whose email address is that?

anonymousmum:

God bless sis, i think I should just get the ball rolling. I'm getting quotes for 330k right now for Dec to Houston so I guess that's fine.

I guess I have just been procrastinating...reading forum of what other people have done, and actually getting down to the work of calling hospital, securing dr, booking ticket etc. na totally different matter!
