Hello everyone, Abeg I need your advice/opinion. I got my visa almost 2years ago with my husband, our purpose of visit was for vacation in New York. At the time we applied and got the visa we didn't have any relation or family in the US so when asked at the interview if we would be staying with anyone we said no. Later that year my sister and her family got their green card and moved to the US. Now I'll be traveling next week with my mom to visit my sister in Maryland, do I need to inform the embassy that I now have a sister in US and I will be staying with her and I will be going to Maryland and not New York as stated during my interview? I intend to go with my marriage certificate, change of name and birth certificate to prove my relation with my mom. Note: my husband has already used his own visa but he enter thru New York so there was no problem. I just don't want any wahala at the poe. Thanks.

I actually share his views about adverts and all and that was why I made it clear that no one should pm me but to call them. I went through the same link that I posted to him to post on the first page. I been overdo myself for helping people and making the forum better so we don't recycle hospitals and be at the mercy of Oakbend and the likes. Nefertitiram, no its not that expensive.

On their website, Vag delivery was about $2904, baby's stay is $900+, doc fee is not included, this is just for hospital stay.

1. You are wrong, if this is my world then it will pay my rent, gas, electricity, water, internet, council tax and TV lenience bills and i will make money out of you 'living in my YOUR WORLD'.

2. Making hospitals and other establishments popular here will not necessarily encourage them to place a paid ad here rather they will increase their charges and STOPPED placing a paid ad here because some people here have inadvertently done their advert for them.

The moment people discover 'cheap' hospital and profile it here suddenly they get bombarded by requests and as a result it becomes an expensive place to use.

Some members here took the pain to write down suggestions for first page so as to make it easier for people to do their search and get a better deal, so i don't see the need for anybody to start posting name and price list of hospital here and then a page later somebody will come and ask for cheap hospital again?

How many times do we have to keep discussing this?

I called quite a lot of hospitals yesterday in relation to the website and I found a huge difference in the rates posted and what was actually required of you to pay because of percentage discounts they offer. I am quite certain that's the price because I spoke to them. Their tests cost between 750 to 1k3 and you can still request for discount. If you can in fact stay for a day after dropping, you get to pay 1k5 for hospital bills. I don't want to anger samurai so I don't get the knife, so I won't drop any more info. But like I said in my "justwised" post, call them and verify the info.

I had called during my research before your post... And was only asking you which of them gave you that quote..cos I only spoke with the shoreline location and their price for CS wasn't as cheap as that for bigger cities.

Hello House. Just wanna share my Form A story with GTB.

I applied around 19th of Feb. to pay my hospital bill at Northside Hospital in Atlanta(After several declines via mails for thee acceptance of payment via wire transfer, I finally spoke to their financial counselor on the phone who now gave me their bank details)

Bank requested for ppt,visa page, reference letter,travel ticket and the filled form A. After submitting this for almost 2 weeks nothing happened with the payment until they now liened the naira equivalent of the amount, I started following up wwith them to process and remit the money and I was told they give more preference to paymention of school fees and it's when they ve excess they process medicals.

with this news I switched over to Fidelitybank and started a fresh request and which ever comes first can go through.

To summarize, GTB debited my account last week Friday with charges amounting to 13800 and I got the Telex copy on monday after I told Fidelity Bank to stop the process in their branch.
As advised by Northside to contact them once this payment is made I started making calls and writing them mails to confirm this payment so it can be posted to my hospital account, also sent the Telex copy to them. I jus got a mail from them now confirming the payment and the posting to my account.

With form A I was able to save about 600k from my hospital bill. I still await my PTA with Fidelity Bank. They ve given me their assurance.

If you can make your payments ahead. Thanks everyone.

Lemme explain JW's stance. In all fairness. Let's use ds Bigfido's hosp for example.

So we call the Hosp Ara Jesu, yer.

Ara Jesu perhaps is super cheap. Maybe 3k for the full package.

Big fido drops the info. Free advert for a cheap hosp. NLders bombard dem with calls, Ghostmode peeps and spiritual members even show up there. The hosp now realizes oh boyee, demand don high, meanwhile supply of manpower and resources remains constant. Which factor becomes variable? PRICE! Case in question Mobap! What you are trying to gain by "helping people" becomes counter productive, cos if you had kept mum, the lucky few will have access to the old price.

Even if the hosp proves to be James bond and carries everybody, Doctores para ti that dropped big money to put advert will feel cheated. And may be discouraged from continuing the transaction.

Maybe Ara Jesu hosp had plans to pay Seun to gather customers, no need na. Big Fido don do the free publicity na. Seun don loss money be that.

So, the way forward is to behave like the Phoenix people. Drop hint, I don see package ooo! Those of you interested, join the bandwagon and carry the ministry to the permanent site in Phoenix. Dallas people don de coordinate themselves too.

This is beneficial to all parties, simply because, spiritual members and monitoring spirits will not help you destroy the opportunity before it gets to your turn.

If you want to help Ara Jesu, you can contact dem to get clients by advertising here, Seun suppose find us small commission sef. angry

Anyways, Bros JW, did I succeed in breaking it down?

Hello Everyone.

We are expecting our second baby in July, and we are making arrangement for the visa interview.
I'd like to ask from experienced momas and daddies in the house:
None of our maternal parents will be available for the US trip at this time.I also won't be able to travel at this time due to work.
My wife would have to travel in June with our 2 year old daughter.They will stay in a rented apartment throughout duration.Is it possible/advisable for a pregnant mother to travel accompanied? For momas who have done it before, how did you cope? Please kindly share your advise.

Gracias

Good evening naira land family. Just got introduced to this page by a friend and she did spoke highly of the quality and quantity of information/value one can get from you guys. So excited about that. So here is my case:
I have a B1/B2 visa valid for 2yrs that I got last year june. I was not pregnant then and I've not travelled since then. Now am just a few weeks pregnant (almost end of my first trimester) and I intend having my baby in the USA. Here are my questions and ls forgive me if anyone of it is stupid:

1. What is the first thing I need to so in preparing for the trip.
2. Do I need to send a letter of intention to embassy. During my interview I was asked why do I want to go to the US and I said vacation. (Remember I was not pregnant then).
3. Is it advisable to travel with my 3yr old daughter. We were both issued the visa last year and both us have not got to use it although we've both travelled to Dubai before we got the visa.
4. At what month of the pregnancy wld you advice I travel.
5. When buying my ticket, what shld be the duration
6. I intend staying in New Jersey (East Windsor) with my aunt. Is that advisable and will it raise a red flag at the POE. she is a nurse and also a citizen.
7.Any recommendation on affordable and good hospital in New Jersey.
8. My husband visa expired in Feb this year. How do we go about renewing it. Need step by step procedure and any information that would help the renewal.

Would really appreciate your response. God bless you all.
