I have a friend from Lebanon that is domiciled here and she got 5 years along side her husband and kids

ifax:


Is the op a nigerian?

Tvegas:


Uncle even if all of you have United nations passport you can be deported. Infact I foresee issues for you either at the POE or at Embassy renewal.

Forget all these story, if I were you I will make a singe trip to the US and find a way to repay that medicaid. Try and clear that bill before your wife travels. I am interested in the outcome.

precioussameer:
i paid 2000 dollars to the doctor for delivery
but nothing to hospital
medicaid covered hospital bills
my uncle encouraged me to do so

i hav receipts for the doctor paying 2000 dollars
but nothing for hospital bills

so u people mean that US embassy knows about the medicaid but the cbp officer at poe will have no idea that i used medicaid

.
i can also show the cbp, no balance on online website of hospital.

and also
can they refuse a pregnant mother with a us citizen child with her plus visitor husband
taking 13000 dollars , all receipts of the doctor for delivery

precioussameer:
hello everyone

here is my story and questions

me and my wife applied for our US visa in jan 2013 in dubai. and we got 5 years b1/b2. my wife was about 5 months pregnant.
At visa interview, consular officer dint asked any questions or any documents. interview lasted about 3 minutes.

You just created a huge mess for the family going forward. Even if you are not asked for receipts at POE this time you will definitely be required to show payment receipts during visa renewal/interview . The amount you owed must have been sent to collections and subsequently paid by the American tax paying public.

we went to US in feb 2013. my wife was 6 months pregnant.
at point of entry in newyork, we got stamped for 6 months. no problems at all. cbp dint as about pregnancy, just asked about money and address of stay.i was having 9800 dollars

he had our first baby in may. before having our baby, i applied for medicaid with social services.
so all the hospital expenses was paid by the medicaid. and we came back to our home country we our US citizen baby

so now my wife is pregnant again
we have 3 years of visa left
and we are going again to US for our second baby

my question is:
will we get into some trouble this time?
at point of entry in jfk newyork, the cbp officer, will there be a red flag in this system or not
i mean : we used the medicaid before, will the cbp officer wil knew about the medicaid

we will be having 13000 dollars with us this time and a pregnant wife and a us citizen child

i ll also pay the medicaid every peny of it.
please help me out
i am desperately worried

staa:
@aadeg you Just stated my exact fears ..difficult situation that only the person in it can understand. Hubby hates Nigeria with a passion. Going to America means starting from level zero even with all the Nigeria degrees. At the end of the day may God help us .

nefertitiram:


You are very correct.. perhaps the lady in question can seek recourse to Obamacare but her case is dicy because she is coming into US as a b1/b2 visitor, hoping to convert to a green card holder when hubby files for her. I hope using Obamacare as a visitor will not affect her application. Note, she got the visa as a single lady, the embassy has no record of her marriage to her husband, so using obamacare for childbirth will affect her the way it will affect us, except she doesn't return to Nigeria afterwards, and hubby files for her while she is still in US. Meaning she may not be able to return to US till her green card is ready.
That's why I suggested the P.M.E Program for her, which she can defend when the time comes and will in no way affect her green card chances.

nefertitiram:


Where art you chill?

Her hubby most def will be on a form of insurance but she may not be able to access it if hubby didn't add her as a beneficiary.
[s]Pregnancy is already a pre-existing condition[/s], [s]thus most if not all insurance companies may not accept her.[/s]
When she gets in, she should explore the P.M.E program for pregnant women in her state. Using it will not affect her immigration/ green card ambition as a spouse of a USC, but if she goes for medicaid when hubby doesn't qualify for medicaid, it may go into her record and rear it's ugly head when it's time to get approved for a green card.

@bachangel, I am a qualified Medical Doctor here in Nigeria, I didn't train here though but have worked here, and I will clearly tell you that you cannot compare our healthcare in Nigeria to the US..
I am very concerned about my health especially when I have an alternative option..
If you are privileged to have all the info you have, then you should thank God. So many people have money, billions but are not so informed or exposed enough to know, so let your knowledge be to give you the best.

Giving birth is a major event that seeking the best healthcare possible is something of upmost priority to me, even when the outcome is very successful and it turns out 'easy' so to speak...You must have visited an NHS hospital in the UK during your MSC and I'm sure you wouldn't want to compare it to our services here.

Litigation rate is very high for ob/gyn Doctors in the U.S. so even for that reason alone, you get the very best there, amongst other reasons; emergency response time is shorter than ours, abeg I cant even shout..patient-doctor ratio is not to be compared to us so the Doctors will always give their best, plus mode of training is incomparable!

This is the little I can add to the wealth of knowledge above...
This thread is so informative and i sincerely appreciate everyone here for the concern for each other.

May God make all our dreams come true..
Y'al should stay blessed!

Good Morning everyone in the house. have been a silent reader on this trend. am not happy as am typing this. I was at the embassy here in lagos this morning for 7.00am with my husband and son , thou we were denied but i feel i shd share how it went and hear people's view.

VO: GOOD MORNING
MYSELF & HUBBY: GOOD MORNING.
VO: WHERE IN THE STATES ARE U GOING TO?
HUBBY: HOUSTON
VO: WHAT FOR ?
HUBBY: VACATION & CHILD BIRTH.
VO: WHICH DOCTOR ARE U USING AND HOW DID WE COME ABOUT THE PLACE.
MYSELF: DOCTOR MICHEAL AMARO AND WEST HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTRE; INTRODUCED TO US THROUGH MY SIS IN LAW IN THE STATE AND A FRIEND THAT DELIVER HER BABY THERE.
VO: ANY THING FROM THE HOSPITAL AND DOCTOR?
MYSELF: GAVE HER THE LETTER FROM DOCTOR MICHEAL AMARO AND RECEIPT SHOWING THE TOTAL BILL AS 2,800 WHICH HAVE FINISHED PAYING SHOWING ZERO BALANCE AND WEST HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTRE RECEIPTS SHOWING THAT I MADE PAYMENT OF 3,000 HOSPITAL STAY FOR 2DAYS .
VO: ALL SHE SAID AFTER ALL WAS THAT THE HOSPITAL IS TOO CHEAP COMPARE TO WHAT IS BEING PAID FOR DELIVERY IN THE UNITED STATE.
MYSELF & HUBBY: WE TOLD HER WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN OUR ACCOUNT TO PAY IF ANY OTHER PAYMENT COMES UP OVER THERE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE FINISHED PAYING ALL OUR BILLS. SHE DIDNT LOOK UP, SHE JUST CONTINUE TYPING AND GAVE US OUR PASSPORT BACK AND SAID WE SHOULD GO TROUGH A LONG PAPER SHE GAVE US . SHE DIDNT BOTHER CHECKING OUR STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT AS MY HUSBAND HAS OVER 7MILLION IN HIS ACCOUNT WHILE I HAVE LIKE 2.9MILLION IN MY ACCOUNT. REALLY CONFUSED FOR NOW DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

All, let's continue to give advice based on experience and not on speculation.

Your husband having a green card does make things a little harder. Didn't want to mention this so I don't discourage you, My husband tried a visitors visa 3 times and was denied all 3 times cos there was clearly an intent to immigrate according to the VO. And at this time all I was doing with my green card was going to give birth and the 6 month routine.

You do have to pay your bills as you are not yet a permanent resident. Even logically if you go to a hospital do the bills come out in your name or your husbands name?

And yes if you are not able to go right now, I wouldn't worry too much as your husband can still file for you all. You giving birth there would only have made the process a little faster for only your child.

And as I said everyone's case is a little different so I won't discourage you, just be ready with all your answers and pray really hard. Be careful with any responses as it concerns husband being in Nigeria and working. Everything will work out for your good.

God Bless

zeezahbee:
Since your husband has a green card , it is quite easy for you to get a visiting visa, because your husband will obviously fle for you to become a PR.

2ndly' you do not have to bother paying the hospital bill But you can pay if you like(that's your decision to make)because your husband is rightly open to the any free medical as a residence.
Because your husband is a residence and will automatically become a citizen in 5years from the day he got the green card, accepting Medicaid for your baby is not a crime.
You case is quite different from every other person here.
Your husband status has covered the baby and even u.

Let the vo know that your intention is to give birth and go back home, the vo know if he/she denies you, you will probably still go to the USA legally after your husband files for you.

Diapearl:

Amother4life.......please am here looking for help and not an undercover VO. I wonder why u singled out my post to be a VO's own. I have read how some peoples questions and worries were handled here and that is why i posted mine too.please stop discouraging those who honestly want to help. Thanks

Please House, i have a Sister having a problem. She had a 2yrs visitor's visa with her husband that was got early 2014 and she is now 32weeks pregnant and decided to use d opportunity to give birth in d USA since they can both afford it

Firstly, 3 months ago, she wrote the US embassy immigration via email that she wanted to use go and give birth in the USA and she has a visitor B2 visa, but she only got the automatic reply saying they are not available to respond now.
Now, at the POE yesterday, she told the POE her birthing intention and that it is 25weeks, that she is here for holiday and to have her baby.

SO WHAT CAN WE DO PLS ? SHE IS HERE WITH ME AND DEPRESSED.

But unfortunately, i did not know what she said wrong, at d USA immigration today, her i-90 was cleared for just 2weeks with NO EXTENSION & NO ADJUSTMENT. She had already booked a return ticket for june with d hope that she will put to bed in d US in may. PLS, WMIS THERE ANY SOLUTION AND WHAT CAN U ADVISE ?

smileymum:
I will get 2 new quotes but I may not use them cos I am already committed in terms of the registration fee i paid. However I am wondering if I should get my mum to act as a sponsor even though I do not intend to take money from her.

weaseloo:


Really did not know this was an option. Do you have any idea how much this costs?

*Update*
Just read Amother4life's post. Should we not be looking at Visa requirements for US citizens and if they can enter Nigeria and obtain visa at the Nigerian airport? Justwise, do you have any info on this? You know you are the travel guru.
The airlines won't even let you board the aircraft without a visa or a sort of authorization from the Nigerian embassy an ETC's are issued on extenuating circumstances only.

Jomikish:


They r asking for credit card n all that n I dont have

nomanicole:
Please is this visa upon entry thing real? So that we know instead of paying foe all these stress abeg

Shawbabe:


Exactly! Thank u!

kizluv:


Thanks for that link , but I am a 1000% sure that more than 70% of the mums on this thread didn't use notarized consent form from the embassy, I am also aware of others too , that have used notarized consent forms from notary publics not In the embassy . My friend did has for 1k, no date was written on it, when the baby came she filled out the date and as I type, mother and son are in abuja.

kizluv:


That isn't completely true, someone I know has used a notarized form from a notary public in Ibadan, this issue has been argued in the past my dear.

Shawbabe:


I thought some states accepted ones notarised in court?
