i tired contacting the Del sol Medical centre to get a letter from a physician there and they keep refering me back to Doctores Para ti. any ideas how else i can go about it?? if i got to Health grade and get a physician wount the person charge me differently? and if so wnt the physician want me to use the hospital he is domiciled? how i go do am?

Omodaraju:


Is there a specific reason why you want to use El-Paso (Del Sol) at all cost. I thought some thread members mentioned how flags were raised at the embassy about their package.

If you're going to Texas, there are other hospitals and doctors whose bills compare favourably as well. Do your research on the following hospitals;

West Houston Medical Centre
OakBend Hospital Richmond
Ben Taub
Houston Northwest
Houston Methodist

use google to check their websites and start to call or e-mail their doctors.

"As regards Dr fagbohun, i will give a comprehensive breakdown of his charges when wife puts to bed. My only advice is intending users shouldn't waste money doing all the tests in Nigeria because he may still ask you to rerun like 80% of it. So just do a few. I wasted some cash on this already. All in all its been fun."

@Tvegas: Good to hear your own POE experience, I am sure your Americana baby go know say him papa dey town. My wife's next appointment with Dr. Fagbohun is this Wednesday, it won't be bad if you guys can form a small naija-Fagbohun football team o. I'll send a PM to you.


Please where's your wife staying in Houston, TX? I'm looking for somewhere for my cousin to stay; she wants to come in after Xmas, and will be seeing Dr. Fagbohun as well.

MerryMom:
Holla!

@All, I dey here at ELP, waiting for Baby to pop.

Good to read all the lovely POE and birthing stories. God will perfect all our plans IJN.

Gd evening all,
In my own opinion; I think there's a quota of non-immigrant visas issued to Nigerians annually. So chances of being issued visa towards d end of d year beckmes slim. So d best bet is to apply early in d year...
My opinion oooooo.

Hi Everyone. I have been following this thread for a while now without commenting. I got my visa this morning in Lagos thanks to all the valuable information i got from this forum. I want to say a big thank you to everyone that has selflessly contributed to this forum.

My interview went as follows;
VO: are you here alone? shouldn't there be others?
Me: No, I am here with my husband, baby and mum (My husband was trying to carry my son who was sleeping on my mum,s lap. They wasted a little bit of time so I got to the interview window before them)
After they arrived, we continued.
VO: So whats the relationship between every body as i see different surnames?
Me: (started pointing to every one) This is my Husband, that's our baby, and then My Mum. The surname on my passport is my maiden name as I was not married when i got the passport.
VO: so is everyone traveling to the US?
Me: Yes. I am going to have my baby. I will be going with my baby and my Mum in march, My mum is to assist me while i am there. my husband will join us when the baby arrives.
VO: OK. so have you contacted any hospital
Me: yes Oakbend Medical clinic in Houston Texas.
VO: what made you settle for this hospital?
Me: I did an online research and chose this one based on positive reviews i read about them
VO: where do you work and as what??
Me: i work at ******* and as a ******
VO: where did you school?
Me: I did my first degree at ***** and my second degree at *****
VO: to my Husband- whats your profession and where do you work?
DH: I am **** and I work with ****
VO to DH : what exactly does your company do
DH: we are a conglomerate into *******
VO: asks DH to scan his fingers
VO to me : you have been to the US before right?
Me: yes, in 2010 ( I had misplaced the passport in which the visa was stamped)
You went for a conference right?
Me: Yes
VO: how long did you stay?
Me: two weeks.
VO: do you have a cost estimate for this trip
Me: Yes. (handed him the budget sheet i prepared with tips gotten from this forum)
VO. (scans through) then said, you qualify for this visa but you have to know that this cost estimates is very small. you may end up paying more than five times this amount. so get yourself prepared for it.
Me: Ok. will do.
VO: types something in the PC. and then asks me and my mum to scan our fingers. he then handed me the passport collection letter and asks me to collect our passport on Tuesday.

That was it folks! It didn't last more than five minutes. he didn't even ask if i have booked appointment with any doctor or look at our bank statements.

Thanks again to every one.
Meanwhile I am heading to Houston early March (i am due early April). Will most likely use Oakbend hospital. anyone with shared accommodation should pls contact me. I will be going with my mum and baby.

Thanks in advance.

Lol when I dey tell una say BA is the worst airline flying to naija, una no wan hear. The days of BA being the best, has long gone. It's like they send their worst planes and hostesses to Nigeria. It's terrible!

MamaTobenna:
It's official, from anonymousmum's testimony, BA is a definite no no for me. Make I go pay for my emirates jeje.

adebrave:

Sup bro @Tvegas, congratulations on ur successful POE. Enjoy ur stay and regards to madam. God bless !

oloriakinyemi:




Congratulations,pls I want to know if you schedule appointment together as a family?please house I don't mind replies from anyone in the house.thanks

anonymousmum:


haha, but that emirates route is loong o! 7hrs to Dubai, and 15hrs to America, not counting layover...I have done it before and mehn, was not funny! Coming back was more frustrating...I can just imagine with a baby in tow...

Tvegas:


Lol, This is a Myth except there is hard data to back it up. A similar myth is that there is a maximum number of visas that can be issued per day. There are so many myths being peddled about this US NIV, my view is just to be well prepared and trust God for favor.
