Ok my people. I promised to come back and update you guys with the other bills

The 3800 bill that was given by the hospital was cancelled. I spoke with the Financial councelor and you told me the bill was a mistake and has been cancelled.

I got a bill from the Pediatrix Medical Group and i paid $714 for Pediatrician.

I paid $166.73 for pathology for both mother and child.

All bills sorted.

Parking my bags to come back home.

Pls dose anyone know less expensive hospital to give birth in Minnesota, Minneapolis, Duluth and it's environs.

I would appreciate a quick reply pls.
Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I don't think you need to reapply, do send a letter of change of intent (though that has been over flogged). If there is a clear difference between the day you were granted a visa and when you took in then you should be fine, also I hope you have a genuine reason for not travelling before now, just endeavour you travel with your Dr's correspondence, part payment of bills if possible and enough money to show you can settle remaining bills. I beg nothing is cast on stone. Be confident but not cocky and above all pray for God's favour. All the best!

beautyuche:



Thank you for explaining to her. here is my situation
I applied for my visa in April with intent of attending a conference. I attended the conference in May and returned immediately (Just 7 days). Now I plan going for birthing Next year. The question is will I need to write to the embassy to inform them of my birthing plan or I simply go ahead get a hospital and make necessary payment have enough cash and proceed to the USA?

Gbengaultimate:
My wife got her B1/B2 visa approved last week with the intention of giving birth in the United State. I have some series of questions that i will like the house to help with;
1. Is it advisable to apply for my visa now or wait till she arrives at the state before applying?
2. What is the percentage that the visa will be granted?
3. At how many months is it advisable she flies?
4. Like how much cash is it advisable to hold for the POE?
5. Her travel date on DS160 is first week in September but she's willing to travel last week in September, will there be any issue with that?
PLEASE ADVISE.....

Babatwi:



Your case is different. You don't need to send them the letter, since you have used it for the conference you originally obtained it for

My visa application with family has been denied twice (family vacation and the other family vacation+childbirth) in abj, even though I was totally honest in my response and explanation and apologized at last interview.

At both instances, my previous interview (didn't mention I was pregnant at embassy. Mentioned pregnancy and vacation at POE was given less than required period to stay. my doctor advised against travelling back so applied for extension) was referenced.

Please any advice on how to address the concern (highlighted above) .

@abujaniv

TWoods:


AbujaNIV already responded to your question. Your case should be a lesson for all those who mysteriously forget about their pregnancies at their visa interviews, only to miraculously remember once they've gotten a visa. Just because CBP says you "may" apply for an extension of your stay does not mean you should. If that was the case, no one would ever leave the US since they could simply continue to apply for extensions of stay indefinitely. You tried to play the system twice... and got caught. You likely won't get a US visa again. Tough luck. Try Canada.

ladymandyo:
When my visa was approved, I was on family planning and my baby was still exclusively breastfeeding. Didn't know at the time. It was in my first interview I didn't mention the pregnancy though I knew as I wasn't properly informed (told to mention only if asked specifically).

Yes I made a mistake because I was misinformed, was honest in my explanation to the VO. Last two denials were over a year apart.

Wats the way forward?

Don't intend to try Canada as I heard u have to hide your pregnancy status and that's not an option to consider.

This thread has been of great help to me, all you need do is just give urself time and read. All the answers to your questions are staring right @ u. In the spirit of giving back, I flew Egyptair @ 36wks +. I was asked to get my Fit to Fly from Port Health for 2k( please don't waste ur money getting it from ur Hospital because it won't b honoured). The Port Health Staff was rather more interested @ collecting the 2k. We had a 9hours layover @ Cairo, checked in to a Hotel. Had a very good meal and Buffer for Breakfast before leaving in the morning. Arrived JFK @ about 03:45pm. There were a lot of passengers on ground. God bless the Mamaa that advised I request for a Wheelchair because it was a wise decision, the guy wheeled me right to the CBP Officer, Here's our conversation:

CBP: Passport pls, what kind of food do you have?
Mua: Egusi,garri, caryfish etc.
CBP: Do u hve meat,fish, veggies?
Mua:No

Na so the guy stamped my passport n said Welcome to America. It did not take upto a minute. I was like; chai na me be this?? Who I be?? (In Efe's voice). Mind u I got my visa for vacation in 2015 which I have used it for the purpose intended. I went straight, got my bags, took the Shuttle Bus to Laguardia Airport where I boarded the next flight to Chicago. I have gone for my 1st hospital appointment, waiting for the next one. Am just chilling and relaxing, waiting for the triumphant entry of my Baby. In all God's favour was just @ work because I was prepared, had all the necessary documents one can think of, to my bank statements I printed that very day of my Trip. Thanks good people, may God bless, provide n reward us all for the sacrifices we make for our kids.

Hello everyone, so I gave birth to my cute little princess upper Wednesday (July 5) , thanks to people that have been sending their wishes. And I'm so sorry that I've not been replying mails, esp naija greatest and naija summary. Will reply asap. So far, B.C and SSN have been gotten, waiting for the notarized form from Naija to apply for her U.S passport. However, naija consulate in Atlanta seems to be having some kinda issue at the moment , which is making application for her naija passport impossible for now, I'm still waiting for them tho but if by first week in August it's d same, will have to do visa-on-arrival. Although, I don't know how that works or how long it takes, hoping someone will enlighten me. Thank you all and by the way, I used Piedmont Atlanta, awesome hospital.

Good people of NL
My DW flew Qatar Airways at 34w4d and arrived Atlanta yesterday. The journey was long. The layover was about 9 hours and Qatar pulled an unfortunately ugly card. We had arranged their complimentary hotel from Lagos (they call it STPC, I have no idea what it means) and on the morning of the flight, we got the printed voucher. Only for her to get to Doha and they told her there was no more space in the hotel. She had to wait at the airport all through the night, not minding that she is a pregnant woman o. It was in the morning she was told to go sit at the Priority area. She said they gave them food though.
Fast forward to ATL, no fireworks. The CBP just asked her what she was there for and she told them to have her baby. Dazol! The man then told her to always carry her receipts. Not one document asked.
I will update the house when the rest of the missionary journey is complete.

5) How much do I need to get d papers 4 d baby whn he/she is born?

Pls I need help with these questions

olathunde:
Hello House,

I need your assistance on this issue before attending the visa interview.

Would not having the complete money stated in the budget sheet in the statement of account be a grounds for denial.

The account statement covers 80% of the cost in the budget sheet.

Thank you

chibertha:
Attempting all questions
1) cost is dependent on your budget and the city you choose so keep trying to get a place that fits your budget Atleast $15k ( do the calculation yourself in Naira)
2) you need all the normal documents for visa application plus doctors correspondence
3) yes you can. It is not against the law to have your baby in the USA just make sure you make your intentions known at your interview and also mention it in your form when filling.
4) this is dependent on the city you choose too
5) check the respective website for the documents needed and do the maths remember to factor in exchange rate
Kind regards Go through the trend you will see some List including the Doc Fees, Hospiatal etc
