You can print it from Qatar expectant mothers page when you are done filling it, you can scan clear copies and email to them or if you are in lagos you can take hard copies to their office and submit.

thanks a lot, much appreciated

Ayob3:


Thank you, please I'd like to ask if I wouldn't have to print anything from Qatar's website?

What exactly am I sending to them via email pleaseeee

You have to print the medif form, their standard fit-to-fly (from their website) and a medical report from your hospital.

TWoods:


First question - why do you think you are entitled to medicaid? Have you ever paid medicaid taxes? It doesn't fall from the tree you know.

Second question - you obtained a visa by claiming to the VO that you were financially capable of paying for the cost of having a baby, including any accidental costs. If you had mentioned taking Medicaid payments, you would have been summarily denied a visa. Think again.

There is always going to be a record if you take government payouts, that will count against you when you apply for your next visa... and i hope you are denied at that time. It is unfair for you to accept free government many you do not qualify for. The rest of us don't get the luxury of demanding "discounts". The number 1 cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical bills... how is it you get discounts and the rest of us don't? If YOU were in the shoes of the average American, would you be as kind?

the question isnt for you to start acting like you are a saint a simple yes or no or are you the only one paying tax. please respectfully advise a person.

Hi ajiobi..i just PM you. Pls kindly reply thanks. ...

Hello house, This is me giving back �
I got into the US on 18th of September at 35 weeks pregnant through Turkish airline with my toddler. I went with my fit to fly from my doctor to the airport but they insisted I still go to port health ( I feel they are just looking for business for themselves jare). The lady at the porthealth was soo cold saying they never issue fit to fly at 35 weeks. I knew she was just being difficult so I insisted that it's on my airline policy that 35wks is okay. She finally did it and afterwards, my hubby dash her 1k...come and see her shine the brightest smile ever. Smh!!.
Anyway I almost missed my connecting flight at Turkey cus it was just 1 hr wait but thank God we made it. I travelled with my toddler.
We finally got to New York and the queue was so oooo long. A lady came to move us to self service, I got my slip and was moved to poe. This was the fastest interrogation ever!!
The officer asked why I was there...I said child birth. He then asked how much I had, I told him. The officer had no issue but his colleagues ear stood cus d money was like 9500 and so the colleague interrogated further , if it was because I didn't want to declare 10k that I made it 9500, I said no, that it just happened that was how much I got after changing to dollars. He said okay and they stamped my visa. He asked me what food I had, I said garri and could not even translate the others in English (pap, amala, crayfish, ogbono). He just asked me to go, didn't even send me to Agric

I kept looking back cus I didn't believe that was all. Then I noticed my son's passport wasn't stamped but didn't want to go back to same guy before he will remember something he forgot. So I asked another officer walking by who then told me they don't stamp pasport for citizens again.
I was so happy cus nothing was asked sef even though I had carried everything. I had my toddler in US in 2015 but I wasn't even asked for receipts.

My visa was b1/B2 which was renewed through Dropbox in December. I almost wanted to travel during the course of the year just to "use" the visa for visit purpose but thank God I didn't! .

I'm in New jersey now in a rented apartment waiting for baby's arrival. I'm still yet to understand this notarisarion from Naija and VOA cus my hubby was here the last time. Hopefully I will understand it before baby comes, if not, someone who has done it in NJ can give me expo.
All the best guys

Okay.

Yes, you would need to get a visa for you and the baby. your US Visa qualifies you entry with a $40 visa fee and $30 for the child. the airline provides the hotel accomodation and airport shuttle, you provide access to it

Tripletmom:












Morning,

Mama’s that have flown with Turkish airlines, please, i need an answer
Was told by one of the wakanow agent that i will need a transit Visa to get hotel accommodation on the return leg.
How true is that?

Also,hope my doctor’s fit to fly Wil b enough?
Although,I intend traveling by 31wks.

Goodmorning.
Please this is totally unrelated but has anyone ever carried cake to the US?

Someone ‘needs’ Red velvet cake and wants it from a particular place in Lagos.

If you or someone you know has transported this successfully, kindly advise. Thank you so much.

I have successfully taken cake into the Us twice, for my cousin who also likes if from a particular place in lagos (in iced cake oh). Just wrapp in sufficient foil and nylon, place it in your hand luggage.

Hello family, please is there any advantage paying the $150 (or thereabout) hospital registration fee alongside correspondence with your doctor before going for the interview? At least to show some form of genuinety. Thanks

A quick one please.

At POE, when asked where one will be staying,can u give them the hospital or Dr's address?

Please need ur kind advice.

It may help to have proof of acceptance from a doctor if you are asked for it during your interview. Some are asked for documentation and some are rejected without being asked for any documentation.

Most Dr & hospitals that collect this will not even send you correspondence if you don't pay it. It is what assures them that you are not wasting their time, since it will most likely be deducted from your total bill at the end of the day.
With regards to the 'genuinenty ' issue you raised. It all depends on the particular Vo and how he sees it. People have paid bills of $12k upfront and still didn't get visa,so it can be an advantage and at the same time not mean Jack.

But wait o,where do you plan to stay before? Why would you give them Dr or Hospital address,are they the ones accomodating you? Don't try it o, you can even be sent back if they suspect that you don't have a place to stay or that you are trying to be funny.

Where do u plan to stay? if its with the doctor or hospital, then tell them it is. But I doubt your doctor or hospital is accomodating you.

If you have bin reading here, you would have seen how to get an accomodation bokked for your stay, there are sevearal options. Concierge services, intown suite, airbnb, booking.com etc.

Morning Nairaland Family,

This will be my first post by the way. I just left the US embassy in Abuja; so here goes my experience/transcript. I went with my DW and Appointment was scheduled for 7:30am, got there by 7:00am. Happened to be the first on the queue just outside the embassy. The security guys told us we couldn't go in with any more than just documents and maybe your wallet, so I had to drop off my bag with the police van at that point (yea, I had to give a tip when I came back to pick up the bag). We went through the protocol of checking our documents, passport and DS-160 form, they asked for one passport photograph each from DW and myself. There were a series of other security points which we passed through with no issues. After the passports were checked and the passport photographs collected, we were directed to a sitting area with other applicants. At 7:40am, they called the first set of people in (about 20 in number), we lined up to the window where our fingerprints were collected and then next to the interviewing booth. From the way the interviewing area was arranged, you could hear the different interviews going on in the different booths, a couple of guys were being rejected and even the lady in front of us was rejected, though her's was a student visa application. My heart was beating fast sha, my DW and I were silently praying for favor yea. At 7:55am we were directed to booth 6, below is the transcript:

VO: good morning, passport please.
Response: good morning, (gives her the passport)
VO: what's your relationship?
Response: she's my DW, we got married in 2016.
VO: Why are you going to Houston?
Response: To have our baby, my wife is currently pregnant and we'd love to have the baby in the US
VO: Why the US?
Response: Well, I'd love for my child to have dual-citizenship and in the future, give them good opportunity to school in the US.
VO: Have you travelled out of the country before?
Response: yes, I've been to the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy, and for our honeymoon, we went to the Maldives and stopped over in Dubai on the way back home.
VO: What's your budget?
Response: from our correspondence with the hospital, it should cost us a little over $14k, but I'm hoping to put together $20k before the trip.
(She then asks for my Financials, and I gave her everything- bank statement, payslip, employment verification, budget sheet)
VO: How long have your worked at your current job?
Response: I'm currently in my 5th year, though I've worked with other companies prior to the current one.
(By the way, she's typing all through the conversation)
VO: How did you get to know about the hospital?
Response: Some colleagues at the office have used them before, and made recommendations for me to use the same.
VO: can I have your correspondence with the hospital?
Response: (I give her the doctor's correspondence and directed her to the attached advised fees) those fees helped me build the budget I'm working with.
VO: (to DW) How long have worked?
DW: three (3) months.
VO: (to DW) would you quit your job or take a leave from work?
DW: I'll take a leave from work.
VO: When is the baby due?
Response: ....
VO: Is this your first baby?
Response: this is our first.
VO: Do you know anyone in the US?
Response: None resident, I do have a friend who's schooling in the US.
VO: Where's this friend?
Response: Maryland.

(Types for a while)

VO: I am going to issue your visa, however I will give you three (3) advice you must adhere to, otherwise it will affect any future applications to travel to the US. First, when filling the birth certificate for the child, you MUST NOT state that you are a resident of the state of Texas, because this means the child can access insurance which you are not eligible for, since you aren't resident. So make sure the birth certificate doesn't say that you the parents are resident. Second, do not ask for medical insurance. You are to fully finance your medical expenses and so you must not accept any form of medical insurance. Thirdly, you must ask for an itemized bill for all your medical expenses showing that your bills were completely cleared. This will be requested of you in the future, should you want to go back to the US. Make sure to adhere to this advice.

Response: That's understood. Thanks
VO: Here's a document showing how to pick up your passports.


Most of the questions were directed to me. It went well and by 8:05am we were done and left the place.
