Dear Mamas in the house, I planned given birth at Oakbend hospital earlier and also paid the hospital bill associated with the delivery. However, my baby came at 35 weeks shortly before I could travel. Please how do I get a refund for the hospital fees from Oakbend? Thanks in advance.

dear all, i ve been following this threads for awhile now(after been compelled by my wife). I just want to say thanks for all the advice from all and sundry. they did got me better armed for our family visa interview.
our interview was today and we met a sweet lady in cubicle 4. she was very warm. our conversation went thus:
VO: what are you going to do in the States
ME: for family vacation and my wife is pregnant so we plan to have our baby there
VO: Oh well thats great! congratulations.
where do u plan to stay in the us
ME: My wife's uncle lives in NY
VO: have u contacted any doctor for your delivery
MY WIFE: yes. we ve been corresponding
VO: how did get to know the doc.
MY WIFE: my uncle recommended
VO: whats the cost estimates and how much funds have you
ME: we ve about 23,000USD. MY wife gave a brief run down of the cost
VO: asked us where we both work and how long we ve been on the job.
asked me a question related to my practice.
then my son( 2 yrs 6mths old) was getting out of control, while i was trying to get him relaxed as well answering the questions. he was busy touching the glass, standing on the slab, touching the light and picture frame on the wall
then my wife sighted a picture of the statue of liberty on the wall and was telling our son wat it was.
THEN WE KNEW WE HAD BEEN FAVORED! As the VO with a big smile on her face advised us to visit the statue and take the flight of stairs to the top as its a breath-taking experience. we promised we'd do.
THEN she issued us THE WHITE PAPER and asked us to come in 3 working days time for our visas
JUST LIKE THAT! NO DOCUMENTS CHECK. NO UNEASY QUESTIONS. EVERYTHING WARM AND INTERACTIVE!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Derinoye:
Congrats to you and hubby, pls I would like to know which doctor and hospital doctor esparati gave you cos he said he only consult for other doctors when I contacted him cos am going for an interview nxth month pls?

Contact desoul, search and Send him a pm

TWoods:


They obviously erroneously assumed you were a US citizen. You can't fill "income" since what you earn in Nigeria is not taxable under US laws.

You're paying less for delivery than the average middle class American... again you decide if you think that is right or not.

Tell her what you think she should have one in tis case..since they were bent on her filling the form even after she notified them she is an international patient...

feddy27:

Not sure of how long those would take to deliver...weighing all options available!

If is just the letter DW can assist him, will be traveling on Thursday to Dallas.

That is downright false. No one forces you to fill a form here.

Pls people help clarify. Do I need to use the same hospital I used when applying for visa even do I already contacted another hospital and booked appointment with them

For me what ever is written in black and white is what I will use. So print it and carry along.

tytmed:
My people how una de.
i saw air moroc flight to NY in july for 355k on cheap ticket this morning. even though i'm atl bound i thought since new york ticket is cheaper i should consider it then do NY to ATL.
so i went to air moroc office in VI, gave them the same date and they said ticket is 375k i was still thinking about it when i said let me even confirm their pregnant flyer policy. their website says up to 8 months which should be like before 36 weeks only for the woman there to tell me not more that 32 weeks. can you imagine what will i go and be doing form 32 weeks with toddler? and who will someone even believe self. attendant at local office or policy on their website. what do you guys think?

Yes there are services she can employ Google doula services in the area she would stay.

lmureli:

Actually what I want to kno is how she will cope alone there, before her delivery date and after all by herself.
Are there services that one can employ,
Pls I will be glad to get help on this

[quote author=Teefinix3 post=54117698]Good morning house....
I ve been a silent reader of this thread for quite a while. Pls I ve a concern abt travelling to give birth in June. I travelled with my family in 2015 for vac and the visa expired in 2016 after which we did a drop box renewal almost immediately but couldn't travel in 2016 for some reasons. We eventually decided to go for d vac in 2017.
Fast forward...I got preg and now wish to travel for birthing in June.
1) Is it necessary I send a change of intent letter? The preg was not even planned.....but now that I am, is this letter still necessary
2) will my birthing in us jeopardise my family's future renewals.
We really don't want to waste the visa without travelling within the 2 yrs validity. The visa expired Feb 2018.
Kindly respond pls....am still awaiting ur views
Thanks....
Kindly advise plsssssssss

Nope
Go ahead and use anyone you feel comfortable with.

My beautiful people of nairaland I greet u all please dos anyone know of any affordable hospital in silver spring Maryland? I will be going on missionary journey by may God's grace please the sister oooo thanks.

Maryland is a bit expensive to give birth. Holy Cross is in Silver springs and you can search for their contacts on line and get their charges from them.

My advice is to target Virginia though. Hospital fees are lower and the care is the same. Check for hospital's around Arlington as it's like 15-25 mins drive from Silversprings. Try and Google Inova hospital's
