If your going to fly Qatar 35 weeks won't work o! They are going to cancel your flight( mine was). According to Qatar 32w+1day =33w and so on.
You'll need to fill and submit the medif form, an indemnity form and get approval from a Dr in Doha to travel one week to your travel date.
So you might want to fly at 34w max.


What if one gets a fit to fly + medif form that reduces ones GA and increases the EDD. Am just realizing this. On their website they said 35wks max and am gonna be 34wks+ on my departure date. Shld I get a doctor to write 33wks+ for me? Will it be a prob? Pls help a sister out.

Thanks

You can do the naija visa yourself if you have about 2 weeks to spare,I used the consulate in newyork tho,after I filled the forms and mailed it to them,i kept calling but they never answered and the box was always full so I couldn't leave a message,after about 8 working days I got the passport in the mail.Its risky if you don't have a lot of time to spare,i think overall I spent roughly 250-280(cant remember exact figures)but I heard the agents take about 350,considering all the stress I passed through going back and forth the post office,i should have just given the agent.that's one less thing to worry about.
Is the $250-$280 inclusive of shipping fee to and fro?
For the person that asked why people use agent for visa is mainly because they don't have enough time for example, I had just one week to process the visa, so I didn't want to take chances so I didn't think twice about using agent.
And again, someone complained of her application being abandoned after submission even after paying for expedited.
And again, the difference in price is not really so much. If it were to be up to $300 difference grin, I trust mamas here cos they
Must dig out ways to go about it.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by passionantchica: 11:46pm On Apr 06, 2016
From what she stated, I believe you're good.
Since 34weeks plus will equate 35weeks to them. As long as you're still within their 35 weeks and haven't crossed into 35weeks + x.

This is my personal conclusion o. I can't guarantee.

Flew Maroc London-lag in 2014..they were doing bonanza of 1 extra 23kg bag for free..hmm my dear you get what you pay for o,it's a 2* airline,small plane but leg room was ok,crappy food,no in flight entertainment @ all,air hostesses were a bit cold,bordering on rude and "wowo"...all that was still manageable..but then dy dropped some passengers off in Benin republic and that was not on our intinery.Seems they combined 2 half filled flights from the cassablanca leg of the journey without informing us the passengers .... Anyways that ĺwas 2years ago and they might have gotten better.Can I fly wt them again?..hmmm yes,if its way cheaper than others..shows how much i like awuf..You'll be fine dear,ur LO sef will keep u busy on your return leg so you won't miss the inflight entertainment..Go wt a tab/novel to keep u occupied when going.
Someone else asked abt quatar..now that's a 5* airline,everything on point,cld even say services better than emirates..But them no like our green pali o..they usually have long ganster stop-overs,they allow ppl wt blue/red pali to enter their country andbook them into a hotel but not us.We just have to stay in the airport throughout (even if its a 9hr stopover like mine was).

Hello all, I need ur advise, I called Dr. Ansera's office and I was told he does not give email correspondence and that when I get to the US, I call the office and he tells me when to come for my appointment. What do I say at the POE when asked to show Dr's correspondence. POE is at Dulles, Washington DC.

Actually, it is post dated to the day of your trip (as it is on your ticket),and you need to using it within 7 days after that date.

If your said trip is Apr 30, the ETC is dated Apr 30 and you are expected to use it between Apr 30 and May 6.

Thanks for this info. Had same question.

Medical, B2.

I have quite similar situation. My ask is, would that still be via Dropbox or we have to go in for interview again.
By the way, I did use my visa for vacation and would be traveling with my older kids and hubby.
Would appreciate a kind response.

Medical, B2.

I think it's okay for the wife to fill Medical, but the man should fill business/ tourism. It's the same b1/b2 visa but she's the one using Medical facilities.

My reason is simple, if they both fill medical as the reason for the trip then the financial scrutiny is higher. My opinion sha, and also how I filled forms for Dropbox renewal for my husband and I.

I received below Package prices from Methodist hospital,

Case Rate for Hospital $4,068.00
Case Rate for Anesthesiologist $1,500.00
Estimate for Pathologist Mother: $120.00
Estimate for Pathologist Baby:$60.00

Could you please advise If the Anesthesiologist cost is the same of this offer

Natsuki:
I am my baby now I delievered in Methodist Sugarland
I paid 2538 for vd
Doctor 2400 and 200 for test
Pediatrician 200
I thought that was my bill but today I received another bill for usd 746,50 it says nursery and labs? The hospital is nice but i did not be very satisfied with all, and worse with this new bill that I never imagine why they are charging me I thought it was included in the package, so mamas be carefull ask for everything then they just send the bills it is not fair

All u need to do is go to the billing department ask after Sarah she heads the department, explain every thing to her and tell her you are on a package.
And request for your zero balance, it faster than calling them.
