Hello All,

Here is my breakdown of all bills issued and and paid so far..

Abeg no vex.
I just say mak i verify.
I calld Hope clinic for pediatrician and thy wr sayn lots of strange things. Wanting to knw income grade and address and how am funding my visit before givn me price. I sharply told dem am not interested in medicaid and thy seemed bent on offering me some sort of package.

D koko was if im not interested in anything, i will pay $85 per visit minus cost of any tests to be run. Even though far frm the $30 u mentioned,ts still a good price.

Abeg no vex o, but r u sure the clinic is a gud choice. Dnt wna hear stories like MadameU @ renewal.

Yes I did but they have stopped accepting Wire transfers for now.

So sorry dear.

Did u confirm the hope clinic you called is the one at bellaire Blvd, cos I kn there's another one at Richmond and $ 85 is their price for clinic visit

Please share their number if u have it.
I called d number google gave me.
Altho the address showed bellaire blv.

Pls mothers who used whmc, I'm a little confused about how to get a paediatrcian for the baby soon after birth. Did you use the Hosp paedo and then after discharge continued with another paediatrcian? How did u go about it, guess I need one to assess baby right after birth. Your advice will be well appreciated

1. Reference letter from Naija introducing you briefly, I shared a template here, u can go thru my posts

2. Letter from the hospital/invoice signed and addressed to u

3. Visa page

4. Ticket

5. Passport/Data page.

I intend using Oakbend and I took their Ob package form,scanned letter as registered and above listed docs.

Should u require further assistance, do get in touch.

All the best.

In the spirit of giving back (I've always wanted to say this)
Travelled via emirates on the 29th with my 14 month old,the journey combined is about 24+ hours(preggies beware!!!)
Fast Forward to houston POE
CBP-What are u here for?
Me-Vacation
CBP-How long would you be here for?
Me-2 months +some
CBP-When was the last time you were in d U.S?and how long did you stay?
Me-Last year and 5months
CBP-What did you come for?
Me-Came to have my baby
CBP Stamps me in and says have a nice day
Me-Thanks and have a great day
No secondary inspection but had to go to agriculture cos of the orishirishi my mum packed for my sister.
In my experience Emirates is a fantastic airline but the downside is the flight is too loonnnggg especially if you are traveling with a toddler,the stress was a bit too much for both of us.the upside is that I was given a meal voucher and I got to choose whatever restaurant I wanted to eat at,lo was given alot of toys however he was a tad bit too restless to play with them,the 4hours transit went by fast.
That's about what happened people.
Thanks to all the selfless people on this thread,God would respond to your prayers swiftly and you would reap a bountiful harvest when you least expect.AMEN!!!

passionantchica:
Wow! Thank God for preserving your beautiful one. Scary something. You must have shed tears at the sound of that her first cry.
God bless her.
And may God, who kept your baby alive, provide for you to offset your bills, and give you miraculous favor all the way.
It is well.

Amen!!! Thank you

Ajujuju2:

I think people get from everyone they paid separately. Doctor, hospital, anesthesia, pediatrician. Not sure how the pathology one works except it was a separate bill.

swappylove:
Hi all,
Pls for people who got their baby's US passport at a passport agency did u have to show your baby's ticket or your own ticket as proof of travel?

No, just had to show mine. Bought baby's ticket at airport on day of travel xx

biollar1:

Congrats ....God bless ur little one.

Thanks biollar

Zumabeezle:
Got into Houston on a Sunday and all was well. On Monday night my water broke. Baby was delivered via cs on Tuesday night. She wasn't breathing or making a sound. Fear ripped thru me. 12 minutes of silence! Then i heard that beautiful cry.! Glory to God.
Coz she came early, she was put in nicu level 2. Eventually got discharged from d hospital. Now the bills are coming in. Hmmm, my pple, i don't even know where to start from. Nicu bill is over the roof! Hospt bill for baby too. May God help me.
Special thanks to those who gave me advice d other time. @adebuble, @suntai for the prayers, @shrekandfiona, @nefertitiram, @adiahabasi, @modath, @cindermum, @happytbaby, @theleakytribe, @ladyguinivere.

Congrats and all glory to God for your baby's life. How far gone were you?

May God provide for you to pay off those bills.

Congrats!
However could you highlight what you think you did differently @ application/interview just so we can learn fro your experience..

Zumabeezle:
Hi everyone. The last time i posted on here was when i did renewal via dropbox but was called for interview and denied a visa.
I reapplied and was interviewed a month later. And to the glory of God i was granted the visa. I was already heavily pregnant so i had to travel immediately. I didn't get PTA in Abuja. I travelled at 34 weeks 6days via airfrance. At d airport, i had to do another fit to fly at port health.
Requested wheelchair so journey was easy.
Got into the USA via Houston POE. wheelchair service took me to d front. Was immediately sent for secondary inspection. I had just 2000usd on me. I had paid hospital and doctor's fees before i got in so i just showed them my receipts. They were nice and friendly. Two of them interviewed me at d same time. It was fun for me. I invited them to Nigeria so i could give one of them a Nigerian wife. Lol. Got stamped in for 6months. He however told me to come with my receipts every time i travel coz they will always ask me. And that they know about nairaland. That Nigeria is d only country that has such a forum. I laughed and said sharing information is free and legal. He said well that's true. That we should just tell our pple to pay their bills.

Pls wat d total cost of baby passport and nig visa urgent plsssssss and procedure

modath:


@ Bublehot ,

Some things after paying for excess baggage fee , I found out na just oversabi cos the price here is just 700 naira difference!!! Guess it's cos dem importers dey buy containers while we buy retail in stores or costco/sam's club..
Try and check that it's not load for no reason.

No matter what you do however, Please don't ship wipes, you can buy 2 or 3 to use till you are fit to run around!! Wipes is just waterlogged absorbent tissue, not worth paying to "carry water".. My 2k

I totally agree with you on this, even diapers are not worth it. There are some really nice and decently priced diapers in Nigeria that are not even the popular brands. You can explore those.

This guy answered me by Jeri.Turner@bswhealth.org
And I send message through online from directly from website

Hi. How did you get through to them. Which email address did you use?

MadameU:
Please i need help,Mamas and Papas away at the moment, please can anyone help out with making further enquiries about the old/reviewed MIHS maternity package, I have called and talked but they keep holding and passing without displaying any knowledge of the info i need from them and finished all the money i in my wallet yesterday on calls, My people abeg if you get that free local calls service please help me call them and ask if that maternity package of 2014 was offered at the low rates at the time because the US government covered a substantial part of the bill. Or was it actually a discounted rate offered to self pay patients Abeg, I even asked for Francisca Hernandez the then financial counselor but they claim shes no longer with them.
i am trying to get more facts and build on points to reapply.
My head is hot. thanks all.

Hi! I still have sample fro 2014 maternity package. Tell me and I will send it to your mail

No, just had to show mine. Bought baby's ticket at airport on day of travel xx[/quote]
