remember four fingers...
kontinu stalking!

I see this phrase is a sort of mantra here, lol. I actually noticed after my first post here and I want to address it.

I see it as a deadbeat excuse being thrown around here for reasons best known to some of yous here,IMO. I had to go back to read a few pages of the NIN visa thread and I don't see the VO using that same dead line on folks asking questions that might appear silly, ignorant or outrightly over flogged but trust Nigerians to use it cos they've been privileged to get hold of some information they think is gold.

Is it not absolutely ridiculous to expect anyone to read through over 300 pages just to get information. What exactly was the purpose of this thread? For throwing banters, avenue for Mgbekes to feel funky or what? Lol

So I checked on the first page, there's no list of basic " requirements and directions" as to actually guide a first time mom or poster here yet y'all keep singing " it's already discussed bla bla".

Thanks to the kind lady that sent me the PM. Much appreciated. I will try and get the basic steps together and forward to Justwise to add to his opening post on first stage. That will save a lot of sane folks from the Yeye wey dey smell here.

Oshisco.

madam please all this time your are using to beg annoyingly is more than enough to use the search button. Please do the needful or Bury your American dream it's not by force.

MetroTee:


Lmao! That's the mantra here na. You have to behave in Rome like the Romans do. Lol. But You're absolutely right about all the steps being placed on the first page. the link to hospitals and costs wasn't there before till someone else suggested it so this is another good suggestion for basic steps to be placed on there too. The only ish is that no one is on NL payroll so when it does get done by justwise, it is out of his commitment and dedication to the cause

Anyone (including you) can create the steps and then tag justwise to place on the front page. Others can contribute and edit and fine tune it till it's perfect. You're a sensible lady sha

Just saying o

Maybe reapply with your husband. Let's also drill down on the earnings and bank balance: could be that too but we won't know since you didn't say

firsttymum:

Tips For Birthing in the USA
1. If you already have a B visa, you are advised to write a Notification/Change of Intent email to the embassy
Use these addresses
LagosNIV@state.gov and /or
Consularabuja@state.gov

This correspondence and the reply is carried by the traveller to the point of entry (POE)
*For the format of the said letter, kindly use the search button on top or below this page and key in the key words. You will have to search until you see the info which has been posted by several users.

2. If you do not have a visa, apply for a B1/B2 Medical visa. Go with evidence to show that you have a hospital,doctor and funds to cover accomodation, medical treatment and any other incidences. (This is popularly referred to as' Burden of proof' on this thread). You may go with the complete cash for your stay. This is preferable but not a must too prove you are capable of paying your bills and provide a smoother poe experience.
For more details , use the search button and follow the already highlighted step for search.
* Both successful and unsuccesful visa applicants have posted their transcripts. It will be of great benefit to you to go through the thread and learn. Nobody will repost for you again.

3. The decision on a choice of hospital is dependent on several factors. Cost of treaatment I.e hospital, doctor's fees, epidural, NICU etc with cost of accommodation and Flight to your final destination . Sometimes it is cheaper to use a county where you do not have family because accommodation and hospital bills are cheaper. Sometimes it is convenient so stay with family. The choice is entirely yours.
Use the search button to search for locations visited and used by previous mothers. This is a Do it yourself thread and it is only courteous to search out info already freely posted for future users and not ask people to repost again.
Some of the very popular destinations include Houston, El paso, Dallas and NewYork. However many other locations have been used so don't claim to 'read all pages' and ask for help that you can easily search out by youself.

4. At the POE, you are expected to go with your burden of proof and be well prepared to answer questions to avoid deportation. Note : It is not a crime to birth in the US. It is a crime however if you conceal this fact from your visa officer (VO) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This act is considered misrepresentation and can result in deportation and cancellation of visa and sometimes a ban.

5. After birthing. Kindly pay ALL your bills and ALL your baby/ies' bills. Do not accept medicaid. Although your Child acquires automatic citizenship, it is presumed you were not allowed on the shores of America to add to their financial/Tax burdens. Do not spoil the image of Nigerians that will apply for Medical visa in future.

6. After birthing , you follow the steps for getting a US passport, Nigerian passport/Visa /Travel documents for your child.
If your child's travel document is his international passport, you require a dual way ticket.

PLEASE NOTE: The above is merely a foundation for your research. It is highly advisable to read all the threads especially part 1 to get the whole feel of the process and avoid running into problems.
You can also need to use google to search for cheaper and better packages and add.

How to get Nigerian passport for the Little one

Nigeria has consulates at New york, Washington DC and Atlanta. You can either use
an agent or do it youself. To do it yourself, follow the steps (thanks @shawbabe)

1) go to the Nigerian embassy website (google it ) and fill out application for passport.

2) print out the filled form and go to Innovate1 services website with ur ref number and pay. It's $77. If the site is down as usual, then u have to do money order at the post office addressed to them. And another $30 addressed to Nigerian embassy for processing fee. Write ref number on money order and send off to Innovate services.


3) email them to expect ur money order and update ur application online. Once that's done, go at 10am to Nigerian embassy at Roswell with ur print out and payment confirmation page. With ur baby, 1 passport photo, parents consent and data pages.

4) if u meet sane people that day, u can leave with the passport, if not it takes 2 days.

Hello Awesome people,

I have been a silent reader for a while and I must confess that I have gained a lot from this forum.

I started reading this thread around July last year and I eventually made up my mind to use Oakbend hospital. I have made a deposit to the hospital and I have correspondences with the doctor (Doctor Dama). I am due to travel first week in February.

I have also learnt a lot about POE and with God by my side, I think I am well prepared. I intend to travel via Delta Airline, I have not bought my ticket because I am still trying to wait for their promo

I just got an accommodation and would like to know if there's anyone interested in sharing a room with me. Just holla if you are interested.

I would really like to hook up with Feb/March mums-to-be so that i can have a less boring stay in Houston.

I would have interested o, please where are you staying, but I'm traveling 3rd week in February. if you're still single I will be interested.
Regards
