If your budget is tight, stay away from Orlando. There are no cheap hospitals or doctors and everything is billed separately so you'll end up paying a lot more that you planned.

I'm currently in orlando, had my baby here (Winnie palmer hospital) and i paid a lot more than the quotes you have so I know first hand that the cost is not friendly at all.

Marchmum:


Thanks a lot Shelly for replying.. I'll continue my research, I have an OBGYN whom I have been seeing for the past 6 weeks, and I pay $200+ for every appointment.

Congrats on your LO.

Pls for those of us that have experience with Dropbox

Submitted with my husband who has even issued and picked up his passport

But this people have refused to invite me for interview or ask for additional documents or any update.

My application has not been updated in over two weeks on their site Just keeps showing ready

Any insights?

Thanks

olokings:
That doesn't sound very cost effective. ..
6 weeks at $200 per visit. ...

Review well

Hi NL family. It's been so entertaining and truly educational reading thru ur posts. Stumbled on the thread some months back and have bn on ghost mode since then. Time for my lil contribution. 

Got my visa b4 discovering our treasured encyclopedia. Was a breeze through. DH &I. Reason- vacation for 3wks. Nothing extraordinary asked. Didn't no was preggie then as d result from d "kpekusing" (#firsttymum I don laf tire) hadn't yielded. So was asked, innocently said no. Granted usual 2yrs. Off we went for vacation, had a swell time& came back. 

Few months after return, well wishers kept prompting to go back for delivery. Discouragement from most family members in d States. Guess dey didn't know how to go bout it. Anywayz, self-help mode activated. 

Hence, I discovered NL. Read thru, learnt a whole lot, etc. (said I wudnt use d default mode response for newbies ).

Made all preparations as advised. Change, no update of intent, doc &hosp correspondences, PTA, fit to fly ........... +prayers. Infact no 1.

Time to port. DH cudnt make d trip. Flew AF on oct4 at 35wks thru MMIA. On getting to AF, lady there advised me not to tell immigration am goin for delivery, asked y, said cos dey usually send people back. Na so I laf for my mind, said to maself, she ain't in d spirit. See the angels on the runway! Fit to fly not asked for. 

Fast forward - smooth journey to Paris. POE was JFK on oct 5, DH& I agreed to carry $9,553 on me as we felt if i were to state above 10k, wud raise eyebrows, hence more ?s. Baby bump aint showing much too. On d declaration form, jus filled worth of foodstuff. Queue wasn't long. Kept "seeing" angels on d runway. #favour

ozycy:

You no taya pass me. I have really taya here. I want to go home. Nigeria my country

happymum213:


My Dear, the interview long oooooooo. Well when i got there, there was this lady that was busy denying people like she is deriving pleasure from it. I was just praying that i shouldn't be sent to her. It was like a shock when i was called next to her post, fortunately for me, as i got there, she closed her post and ask me to use the next available VO. That was when it became obvious to me, God is in control.

queenestty:
Thank you. Did you write it all in full or the last four digit.

I have fill it though, but I fill the whole numbers and am thinking if I did it right.

It's not cheap in naija either, I paid 180k back in 2011 and i'm sure it's gone up since then.

jayjay4lyf:

dere5:


I think what she meant was that she should pm her Dr Abass's No,so she can compare his price with Dr Esebede's
