Hello Everyone, This is a very interesting trend. So much info here. Well done guys.

We want to have our first US baby. My wife is 5months pregnant. She has applied for B1/B2 Visa. Interview is scheduled for 7th of August. She intend to stay with my cousin in Brooklyn New York.
I need your advice on the following.

1. Preparation for Visa Interview: Documents to carry along and possible interview question and best answers.
2. Affordable Hospitals in New York and any link to contact the hospital/doctor
3. Any other information to would be helpful.

Thank you!

PrinceAdeAde:


I want to assume it is issued at any international airport but again this is naija so it may just be helpful to check

Hi,

I had my baby in Brooklyn New York and I used Wyckoff Hospital, you can try them out.

Thanks.

Hi PrinceAdeAde

DW is going to ATL. You said a friend got the Nigerian passport in 3 days at $165. Was her hubby with her or she had to use a letter of consent? If she did, can you please help me ask her how she went about the letter and if she had it notarized? Thank you.

justwise:


Please i need your help please! Because we're plan to give birth in USA and we're going to interview; please what are the most question they will ask us!

Got mine in atlanata in 3 days. Ull apply for 64paged (weda or not they give you 64 pages book and pay $35 or $30 for expediting it. When you get there, you will meet His Royal Rudeness there, please do me a favour and get his name. (The expedited fee seems like a fishy payment to me but we all paid it). Anyway husband was not with me, naija people no send all that one. If you cant wait three days, leave self addressed envelope for them to post to you.

I dont recall ever mention Nigeria passport in 3 days. You must be confusing me for someone else post

Ayokunle07:
Thank you Reniduke. Since hubby was not there, did they ask for any consent letter by the hubby from you? Did you go with any documentation? If you submitted any letter, is it possible to show me what it looks like? Thanks a lot.

Hello All,

Thanks for the information and support. My journey ends here. Just some tips based on my wife second US birthing experience
1. You need two valid means of identifications(preferably driver's licence & international passport) to process and collect US docs(Birth certificate,US Passport). My wife licence expired before she traveled and she forgot this requirement so it was not as straightforward as her first experience. Alternatively, you can use work ID or any US resident to identify you.

2. Visa on Arrival is way cheaper and hassle free than it is made to look[i](the only cheaper option on the long run is if you are in atlanta and go for the baby nigerian passport)[/i]. Just send a mail to oa@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng requesting for one using the format shared previously on the forum and you would be responded to early enough. in my case,I got a response the same day and please do it yourself and dont pay any processing money. You only need to pay the actual application fee to immigration which can be made on arrival($180 using card and $190 using cash though. Surprisingly,my wife mentioned they did not even look at any letter at Lagos Airport to give our baby the visa. Note that houston immigration requested to sight the actual email so you may want to keep your phone and email handy to avoid complications

Am always available on PM to assist with any further information.Good luck to all expecting mums and Dads. God Bless

Hello Everyone,

i'm a first timer on Nairaland. I must say a whole lot of support in here. Well done guys.

We want to have our first baby in the US. Have gone through the thread and know that i'm to:

Apply for a B1/B2 so reason can be Tourism and also to give birth.

However I need your advice on the following.

1. Affordable Hospitals in Maryland (that's where i can be accommodated). Have heard Maryland is expensive but i'm sure someone here would have eventually gotten a good deal. Please help with any link or direct contact to the hospital/doctor. i have googled and filled in contact forms but no revert. i have called but they keep directing me to their insurance company so please i'm crying for help.

2. Is or Was there anyone who planned to stay in Maryland however give birth in another state that's more affordable and not too far from Maryland. When did you leave Maryland for the place and when were you fit to travel back to Maryland after delivery. Also hospital details (especially cost) and contact to Doctor

3. Any other information would be helpful.

Thanks!

PrinceAdeAde:


No,it is visa on arrival and it is stamped on your baby's passport as soon as u arrive.This is returned to you immediately

So just as I promised to share my total bill and experience for my first Missionary Journey:

Hospital Bill - 3k for noncomplicated vaginal delivery (it has to be paid before discharge from the hospital to qualify for the discount package)

Dr fee - 1k for vaginal delivery (payment is due at initial doctors appointment)

Lab test - 158

Ultra scan - 120

Paediatrician - 300

Well Child Check - 95 (this was done at JPS hospital fort Worth)

LO birth cert. - 23 each (collected two copies)

American Passport - 165 (I got it by mail exactly 13days after applying)

I got my zero balance from the hospital by mail 3 weeks after discharge. I left US with LO on the 30th of March, got to Qatar and was hoping to get a transit visa to qualify for an hotel in Doha but sadly our Visa wasn't granted by the immigration, we had to stay at the airport for a 12hrs layover. Thank God it's finally over for now, I will hang my coat and hibernate till further notice. Thanks to everyone who has shared their experiences, bills and answered both my public and direct questions, God bless you all especially @chloe7 @temmyo ...@dyout Congratulations and thank you so so much for the assistance with LO letter of Consent and it was nice to meet your Madam a fellow Nairalander in diaspora.
Peace!

@chibertha checked website and did nt see any such information. Did a search and it came up empty. So mayb u can help us with a link? Or under what category to click on... thank you

Will you fly rwandair?

nefertitiram:


For number 1. You got it slightly wrong. Your US visa affixed to your passport suffices as a second means of Id. The county person wanted to sell me the sour grapes of getting a second means of id till I showed him his own requirement list where a valid us visa suffices. So that person just stressed your wifey for nothing. Lolz

Modified: in fact only 1 means of id suffices in the instances below and foreign passport is allowed as the only means! Lolz;
