Good morning people and happy celebration to all Muslims on the thread,aseyi samodun.

Please what accommodation is suitable for someone using West Houston medical centre,i understand soul care is best for people using oakbend,its rather unfortunate that the two plans we made for accommodation have decided to turn upside down,but I know God will surly make way.
Many thanks for anticipated responses on cheap accommodation. Thank you

No, soulcare locations are actually way closer to west Houston than oakbend juts that most people are using Oakbend. There is a mama here using WHMC.

My DW went for an interview in Lagos and was refused, see transcript below

VO: Why are you going to the US?
DW: I am going to deliver my baby
VO: Where are you going in the US?
DW: I am travelling to Strafford, Texas
VO: Can I see your Doctor's report in Nigeria?
DW: Yes please, you can have it. (she hands stapled documents that consist budget sheet, correspondence with Dr F, Doctor's bill, Hospital bill and report from Doctor in Nigeria
VO: Have you contacted any hospital in the US?
DW: Yes I have it all in the paper with you and the doctor's report you asked for is on the last page
VO: What do you do?
DW: I am a ---
VO: What does your husband do?
DW: My husband is a ---

While this was going on, the VO never looked beyond page 3 of the set of documents. On page 1 was the budget sheet (15k), page 2 was correspondence with Dr F and page 3 was Dr F's bill. He didn't look at the Doctor's report. Next thing, he seemed to type for eternity and from no where, he gave the usual rhetoric and next thing, hands over the dreaded blue paper.

Pundits in the house should please enlighten on what may have gone wrong as my wife and I both think she did well based on the transcript above.

N.B: I was not with her during the interview, I am financially responsible for the medical bills and logistics and work with a reputable organization. Our first application was refused, we were together and this time, we seemed to think it would boost chances if she applies alone.

Hello house,
In the spirit of giving back. Here is my birth story.
I gave birth to my baby girl March 17th at United memorial medical center, batavia New York through C.S. Stayed in the hospital 3 days for all. The hospital offers a 60% automatic dscount for self pay. Got my bill for 3947.69 for mother and 1407 for the child, total of 5354. Doctor's fee for ante natal and delivery was 1499.4 (I was scheduled for natural delivery with a mid wife but had to go for c-section last minute, which included a doctor in the package. The fee above also include all the meal I had for 3 days. The service was awesome, everyone including the doctor's were very friendly, nice and professional.
I let them know before I delivered that I was going back to Naija in less than a month after delivery so they could process my birth cert and bills on time.
I filled the birth cert form before I gave birth and gave them baby's name on delivery. They filled for the cert on friday, I called the county's office on Tuesday and I was told it was mailed to me the monday after that friday. I guess they used regular mail cos I didn't get it that week, went to their office the following Monday, paid 10$ for another copy which I usedto apply for her passport. I paid 165$ for the passport and got it sameday. I mailed her passport to the agent for the Naija visa for 342$ (Tanko hardly picked his calls, felt safer using a company's service). They got the passport Tuesday Morning, got the visa same day and mailed it back to me. I got the passport the next day Wednesday. I have gotten my zero balance letter from the hospital. Leaving for Naija today.
Hope this helps someone.

Please one question. The zero balance letter is just a line. Hope this is okay.
Good luck to everyone

Hi,

Pls can you give me the contact details of this hospital I would like to use them if it's possible.

Thank God you got in safe and sound. Remember my own drama with lufthansa they said I was not fit to fly at 23wks because I carry multiples see me see wahala. I even had to go to see one rude German Dr in their hospital in Abuja because I was requesting wheel chair. Lufthansa no be here oh I just pray they don't give us hassles when it's time to add infant ticket.

Pls can you tell us what happened at your first interview? Are you sure it's not linked to dis denial? I never knew vo do demand for doctors report in Nigeria. This visa application do take the grace of God o. Perhaps you can hear the gurus opinion and re apply seriously praying for favour.

Chai !!!@ Fisrty Kpele... It can be so demoralising and stressful having to go back home after a scheduled trip, irrespective of the reason. I have been paranoid ever since after I missed a flight once,
I remember for this trip our flight was 1125pm, and DW couldn't understand why we took off to the airport @5pn lol, I said Ehn I'd rather finish everything and be sitting down and waiting ;DD
