As the journey drew to any end I felt more tired so I told my husband am asking for a wheel chair once we get to houston. Note I did not use any thru out my journey or even included it in my ticket reservation so as we landed I told one of the attendant that I need a wheel chair. One was arranged for me and off we go. Abeg wheel chair good o. The airport was crowded.
Na special treatment for wheelchair o.

Somebody mentioned here that National is a good rental company cos they accept naija debit cards.

Good day please am a sillent reader,have learnt alot from part1 to part 2 ,i went for my interview today at lagos . Im 24 weeks pregnant.unfortunately i was refused by the black woman. please help me , how to solve this problem am down since i came back.
my husband has business in south africa and i have my business also am general merchandise in clothing and textiles. I have 7 million plus in my account and i went with my husband statement of account too.

Vo; when is your due date? december
VO:can i see your appoinment letter? yes i gave it to her
Vo:why did you choose phoenix among all? because its affordable
Vo;what do you do?
Vo;how much do you earn per month? 2million and it depends on sales
Vo: do you have relate there? No
Vo: why do choose economy crossland studio? because is closer to the hospital.
VO:Have you travel before. yes to south africa.
she gave me the blue paper.
please i need your candid advice

Now i dont know if i can reapply in south africa because i have valid residence or i should apply in abuja.

The black witch strikes again... but this time not really her fault.
I think using MIHS in Phoenix worked against you.
Use a different hosp, reapply if you still have time.

Yes boss. ASAP.

In the spirit of giving back, I had my baby some days ago in New York. I checked Wycoff, Queens Medical Center, kings county hospital Brooklyn, jamaica hospital, new York Hospital Queens but eventually settled with MMC (Mercy Medical Center) cos they had a straight forward pricing and honestly I got top notch satisfaction from the level of care I received.

Prenatal visits and care, tests, sonogram and delivery cost at the hospital's care center is 1100;
2 days hospital stay with sumptuous food (and a celebration dinner for the couple...LoL. let's just say I like food too much sha ) is 6000;
Epidural 1000.
Several tests and vaccines were administered during the 2 days stay and it's all inclusive in what you paid (tdap, hep B, hearing test, vit K, etc etc).
2 post partum visit for mother is also included but you pay 85 for pediatrician to see baby after discharge.

I got all my receipts and awaiting Zero balance letter.

BC and SSN is being processed by the hospital and I can start passport application afterwads.

All in all, fantastic hospital and experience.

And HONESTLY we need to start combing out new hospitals as well that will be beneficial to others too..

I don't get
Is the 6k plus Drs fee? Or it's the 1100 that's d Drs fee...
Or they don't have Drs fee? And then is it only for staying there for 2 days that's d 6k?
I don't understand the quote
In my opinion the 1100 pretty much covered a lot

6k is for two days hospital stay for VD ... Hospitals in New York ain't smiling o, some give you quotes per day sef ... LoL.

Doctor falls under the 1100. Which also includes prenatal care, ur drugs, sonogram, prenatal tests, etc etc..

People who don't know about the 1100 end up paying 6000 for the 2 days hospital stay and additional 3000-4000 for gettin their own doctors.. I almost did this, intact I contacted to Nigerians doctors affiliated to the hospital before I found out about the all encompassing self pay 1100 discounted rate.

So it's best to use the full hospital package with their own doctors ...

No, am staying with relatives.

Greetings.
While I stand corrected, I perceive the VO looking at your economic capability didn't see the logic in you;
1. Choosing an economical hospital rather than a moderate one. .
2. To cap it all you still went ahead and book reservation for a studio (economical) again.
For someone who earns 2m power month should be able to afford at least a comfortable $3k per month apartment. ...my take though
As such she pinned loopholes in your story and that's a big red flag for them ergo the blue paper. ...

Try reapplying and use a moderate hospital say total package of no less than $9-10k... reserve an apartment utility and bills paid say min a 2 bedroom (cos truly 4 someone with a 2m monthly earning can't stand staying in a $1500 per month studio (taste thingy)...
All in all, plug all loop holes and maybe try visiting the Abuja embassy.

Good luck
