If your husband is indeed schooling and working in Canada, you are better off heading that way, for numerous reasons. Having said that, going through your posts, it does seem you've had several challenges in trying to get different visas on different occasions, and for that reason, I would suggest stepping back a bit and taking a bit of a breather. Here's the thing: as the spouse of a Canadian student/worker, there's a number of perfectly legitimate ways to get to join your husband, whether it's through an SOWP, Spousal Open Work Permit, for which there is a thread here on NL; or through having him do the PR thing for you and the kid once he's gotten his own PR. Again, there's threads for that on here as well. It won't matter then where the child was born, if your concern is citizenship, as I imagine. I may be biased, but frankly, with free health care, lower tuition, an official commitment to diversity and multiculturalism, a top tier educational system in which both immigrant and non-immigrant children do equally well, etc., etc., that child will do way better 'north of the 49th parallel', aka, Canada. Plus they'll have the ability to live and work freely south of the 49th, if they so wish (Nafta permitting, lol). I mean sure, it can get freezing cold, depending where you are, but you know what- just dress warm, conquer it and before you know it, you'll be feeling pretty cool like, 'yes, I stared down yet another Canadian winter and survived!'
Alright, I know this thread is firmly in the camp of our cousins down south, aka the stars and stripes, aka the greatest , so before I get the stars and stripes shaken in my face for daring to make such claims, I'll exit with one last shake of the red and white maple leaf, and one last thought: relax, take your time working to get to join your husband, sort out whatever the visa refusal issues were in the past (hopefully you kept your submissions legit, which will make your life easier) and your child will be fine. All the best.

Thanks for the information. I have not given birth in the USA before. That is good though. Meaning that the "first
Visit" will be at the hospital. It's okay. Provision for extra cash is in place. I've been reading of many people getting crazy bills. So I am ready for them. I sha will not use the hospital's pediatrician of 675USD

Hello dear,
Please i need to ask some questions about HNWMC esp the peadiatrician bill. How did you go about it? Did you get an outside peadiatrician affiliated to the hospital? Please dear, pm me...email add...tessy4link@yahoo.com.
I need urgent reply .God bless you

Hello House...
Greetings to everyone.

I want to find out if anybody in the house has given Birth in the US and didn't finish paying but still traveled to us or vacation or other reasons. Because a friend of mine just gave birth in Maryland, she had some complications and the bill was very high, she has not finished paying her bills but she wants to travel in December to the US for vacation. Though she intend to off the bills gradually.

Kindly advice if you have experience.
Thank you

Good evening house and d gurus! Nice work you're doing here! I have few questions/advice
My visa application was refused on Thursday, I think I got it all wrong when d VO asked me what DH does for a living and I truthfully answered that he schools and work in Canada.. the VO then asked why US and not canada, but due to d tension building within me, d VO wasn't satisfied with my answer. But what I failed to tell the VO was that I actually withdrew my Canada TRV a week prior to my US interview and of which I have a letter from d embassy to back it up..

Now a friend is suggesting I reschudle another interview, arm myself with d letter from Canada embassy, the hospital is willing to give me a supporting letter and convince the VO... please do you think this is a good idea? As am due in September

Thanks in anticipation of replies

Hello Mums Pls I need advice on the way forward.

My family and I applied for a visa for my birthing purpose, but due to bar code wahala, my hubby and toddler couldn't go in for the interview.

They were asked to reschedule,so I had to go in alone, as only my bar code matched.

I got the Visa, but the challenge now is getting an early date for my hubby and my toddler.

Going by The dates available for now (Oct 5,as at today) the baby would have come, as I'm due for an elective CS at the end of September..

Travelling without my toddler isn't an option as She's too young to be left behind..

Pls mum's, what happens if I don't use this visa for birthing Will it be a problem to use it for vacation afterwards??

It's a Medical Visa Already.

Please Advice... as I've been having sleepless nights over this.

P. S : I'm 31weeks gone.

kokorita:
@ Chiwe . Sorry about that. Almost same thing happened to my sister. Cous she was already 31 weeks and she wanted to give birth in the usa So she had to do fast track interview for herself and. Her family. an agent helped her to get a very early date for their interview

customised87:


Eh yah, I know how it feels not wanting to leave your toddler behind. It is well
Why not try go the emergency appointment route for your toddler especially? You will first need to choose the Oct 5 first before you now apply for it. You may just be lucky.

Thanks Dear.
Surprisingly, the agent I asked to help with fast tracking keeps telling us, no early dates yet!!
Would contacting another agent make any difference??
I wouldn't mind the option at this point..
Please.

Supernaturalone:
Texas mums, please how long do you typically wait to undergo a scheduled 'normal' CS? I'm having a baby in Houston and the Dr tells me that I have to wait 39 weeks, that this is the law in Texas, except there are complications or specific reasons that warrant bringing out the baby earlier.

Thanks.
