BABSFREY:
I do not think that legal visitors can be regarded as illegal immigrants. The story refered to birth right citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. That I think should be those overstaying their visa or those brazing the dust and rust along the border into the US. I may be wrong, but this is my take.
I absolutely agree with you but the lines then become blurred.

It would imply that to get a passport for your baby you have to then prove that you are not an illegal immigrant. It complicates things a bit.

Meanwhile,

Make una add this matter into your prayers grin Donald Trump must not enter o, as this may also affect visitors

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/08/17/trump-calls-for-deportation-illegal-immigrants-end-to-birthright-citizenship/

Excerpt:

Donald Trump vowed to deport illegal immigrants and end the policy known as birthright citizenship as he unveiled a tough immigration platform which by Monday was meeting mixed reviews on both sides of the aisle. ....

As part of it, Trump said he wants to rescind President Obama's executive orders on immigration; deport many of those in the U.S. illegally while providing an expedited return process for "the good ones;" and do away with automatic citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born on U.S. soil.

The Trump campaign said the policy, known as birthright citizenship, is the "biggest magnet" for illegal immigration.

Good day house.I will be staying in Richmond houston, I would love to know which is better and cheaper between methodist hospital sugar land and oak bend hospital, because my host plans for me to use methodist while am considering oakbend and Dr fagbohun. And also after reading up on methodist sugarland on this tread I discovered alot of mothers were sent extra bills after delivery, which I wouldn't like . Experience mums pls help a Ftm. Thanks.
Not everyone got extra bills at Houston Methodist. Like I described in my experience, I had a prolonged labor - almost 24 hours so my getting additional bills may have been understandable.

However I am yet to see anyone that has extra bills with Oakbend, house please correct me if I am wrong.

The choice is yours...

Hmm these stories about husband being denied, if we are better prepared we can avoid stories that touch...

When my husband was applying, I was already in the US. I packaged these documents for him before i left (you know men, if you leave them do do these things it will never happen smh)

My Biodata page - they asked him for this
My US Visa Page
Photo copy of my UK, Schengen visa plus all the visa's I have ever had sef lol
Receipts of payments (his interview was 4 days after I got to the US so I had made all payments sharp sharp and sent the receipts to him, they asked him for this)
Letter of Change of Intent that I had received from Lagos and Abuja (they actually asked for this and apparently was the deciding factor in granting him the visa)
Evidence of accommodation booking
Marriage certificate
Evidence of past holidays together with photographs lol
My letter from the office stating I was qualified for leave


Plus his own normal documents that he would take - bank statements, letter of employment payslips etc.

Mind you he had been denied about 10 years ago, but had since gone to UK, Dubai, etc

Now I can compete with Phema with burden of proof award hehe

Hello Nairalanders, been a while. I had my adorable lil princess August last year in Methodist Hospital Sugar land but right now im in panic mode cos I just found out we are expecting another! My baby is due March and my visa expires February ending. I plan to travel to the US in December...how possible is it dat I use 1 visa for 2 babies, and what if I don't get 6 months at the POE...and considering I haven't been to the US since I had my first baby last year, what would my experience at the POE likely be? Please help!

P.S.
I'm a frequent traveller to the US before I had my daughter and I have all my receipts with zero balance so I'm not owing a dollar.
Hey Ijay Mama! Congratulations! #teamsugarland...thanks again for all the advice you gave me last year.

I think you should be fine. FinanceFitness has said it all.

I forgot to add the doctor's fee of $2300 and $385 for pediatrician . The hospital knows I'm self pay. They said they can only give a discount of 1% if the total Bill is paid within 1 month. I'm not ok with th bill but I have no choice now but to pay it. I've made part payment to pay the rest later.
Oh just saw this.

Yeah thats ok, once you complete it before you need to renew your visa

Hugs...

Hello Mr Ralph Lauren,

Thanks for the update on the taxes, I was only faintly aware about it. Information is power.

General comment - I would like to sound a note of caution to those that post specific details of their flights on here - date, airline, connecting flights, etc

It's a fairly new trend that I just noticed, and inasmuch as this is a public and anonymous forum, just be careful about this. I don't have a specific case or reason why, I just think its too personal..you don't know who is who.

I think someone had noted this earlier, just thought to bring it up again.

One love. *goes back to lurk mode*

@anonymousmum - I just saw this, and I have gone thru all your posts. They were truly insightful. However you never said how u resolved the extra billing issue with them @ methodist sugarland. Where you able to negotiate it away/reduce it or did you finally settle for a payment plan?

Also, is there any particular reason why u chose there over Oakbend? I'd just like to know cos they are the last two places on my shortlist & u may have some extra criteria that could be key. (I'm sorry- I might b pickin ur brains 2much or on personal level here..., would have tried using PM but I dnt knw how dat works) smiley smiley

cheers everyone
Hey there

I opted for a payment plan - I was told I had up to a year to pay up however I settled the bill fully a month later.

I did not have any specific reason for picking Meth Sugarland over Oakbend...I am a private person, and the thought of meeting many Nigerians in the waiting room at Oakbend was just not it for me (no offence, its just the way I am - you may have gathered from my username grin) )

Oh and my aunt who lives in Sugarland raved about the hospital - and less of Oakbend...she is into hospital administration in the Houston area...

You may want to get in first, visit the two hospitals and then make your decision.

Cheers

Hello all, smiley
Congratulations to all the new mamas and papas in the house. I see most of the egbons of the thread have had their LOs...

These babies grow so fast! 5 months and counting...i am feeling like a veteran self

Just a few comments on some trending topics -

Medela electric pump is the way the truth and the ... grin

I resumed work after 2.5 months and my son is still on exclusive because I was able to pump and keep.

Ensure you buy the battery pack so you can use it in Nigeria without step up step down step side issues.

To save money buy rechargeable batteries and the corresponding charger.

Generally, for those that are not using all in packages, expect bills even after you have left the US.

My family that I used as their house as mailing address just informed me (just 2 weeks ago) that I have an invoice for hospital lab test - this is after I have gotten zero balance from the hospital o!

I called the hospital, they said that lab charges separately. Called the lab, and got 50% discount so I quickly paid that one (before one kain Medicaid will come and do oversabi and pay for me) and obtained zero balance for the expense.

good luck to all!
