Hi Adedoyin. First of all your post has been so helpful in getting all the paperwork together so big thanks to you. Please how long did it take to get your bill from Pediatrix? Its over 2 weeks since i had my baby and they don't have my billing information yet. I'd like to settle all my bills before i leave and i have just 2 weeks left. Did you do anything to fast track?

CheeseMama:
Hi, please how long after your delivery did you get your bill from Pediatrix? I have called over 4 times since the 20th when i had my baby and they don't have my billing information yet. They said it can take up to 30 days. I asked why it would take 30 days when they offer a prompt payment discount thats only valid for 30 days after delivery and they said they'd still honour the discount. I need to settle my bills before i leave in 2 weeks.

Also which paediatrician did you use please? My first visit alone was 120 usd.

[/quote] thank u so much. May be the right question should be how do I get VOA print out? Thanksn u tell how to go about the visa on arrival ? I don't know if they still do endorsement of baby visa on mother's passport .[quote author=Chijiuche post=66523738]

Long post alert
In Spirit of giving back,I have been following this thread for some time now and want to thank everyone that has contributed to this thread. God bless you all. now to the business,I have been going to the US since 2010 but My DW and first child, got thier first visa in september 2015 for visiting but she used it give birth to our 2nd child in november 2015, we never knew she can declare child birth until we found this thread. We used dr F, paid all bills and got zero balance. we used same visa for vacation in april 2017.
she and my first child did dropbox in october but was called for followup interview which they attended on 16th october 2017 but was denied on ground that she used her visiting visa to give birth in 2015. below is her transcript:

VO: Good morning,passport pls
DW: Good morning and hands over the passport
VO: how many kids do u have
DW: 2
VO: why are u not applying with ur second child
DW: because i had him in the usa
(guess he wanted to know if she will lie that she didnt give birth in the us)
VO: so u got ur visa in septmber 2015 for visiting and used it to give birth in november 2015?
DW: yes.
VO: so it means u lied during your last interview?
DW: she answered that she told them she was pregnant but was undecided if she was going to give birth in the Us
VO: did you pay all your bills and do u have proof
DW: Yes and she handed over all her payment reciept and zero balance from dr f and other service providers
VO: after going through the reciept, he said i can see you paid all your fees and its not a crime to give birth in america provided you can afford it. but u have to let us know ur intention during your interview
VO: so are u pregnant now
DW: she answered yes that she will be due in may 2018,
VO: so are you using this visa for birthing
DW: she answered that she has not decided on that yet, that the visa was for xmas holiday first
VO: but thats exactly what you told my colleague 2 years ago. after typing for some seconds, he then handed her over the blue paper and said i cant approve your visa this time.

So that was how DW came back rejected and dejected. I started researching and found this lovely thread and read all the info. we were determined to make things right so we decided to reapply but this time for medical visa. even though my visa expires in June 2018, i decided to also join in the application, and also included my mum. so its was the four of us(MYSELF,MY WIFE,MY MUM AND MY FIRST CHILD) applied this time. We first contacted Dr f and he sent in his correspondent, filled a new form and went for another interview on Thursday December 7th, by 10.30am.
we where directed to one black america lady and below is our transcript.

VO: Good morning, Passport Please
Me: Good morning and I gave him the 4 passport
VO: where and why are u going to the us?
Me: we are going for vacation but my wife and my mum will stay back to have our baby.
VO: checked my passport and saw that i still have a valid visa till june next year.
VO: u still have a valid visa u can still use the visa and apply through dropbox when it expires
Me: i know abt that, but am applying now cos after my 2 weeks vacation in march 2018, I will be going back in june 2018 to help bring back my litle one home, so i want the visa aspect to be sorted out on time.
VO: ok, i get it and excused her self to consult a superior officer on what to do with my valid visa.
VO: she returned and said i will be canceling your valid visa before we proceed with this interview,
Me: ok, no problem
VO: does your wife, child and mother also have a valid visa like yours?
Me: no, my wife and child US visa expired in september 2017 while my mum only has uk visa
VO: so why do u choose to birth in Usa and not other countries you have been to
Me: I replied because US offer daul nationality which others dnt offer and also the medical care in the US is very good
VO: so have u contacted a doctor?
Me: Yes,and handed over dr F correspondence
VO: went through it and asked if we have made any payment
Me: i replied that the doctor doesnt accept pre payment but i have the receipt of our previous delivery and handed it over to her
VO: she took it, went inside to consult another colleaugue, came back and ask if i have a budget sheet for the delivery?
Me: sure, i handed over my budget sheet.
then at this point she was going through my dr correspondence and budget sheet, my son started disturbing that he wants to wee wee.
VO: pls, take him to the toilet, i will be taking some time to document all this on ur profile so that u dnt have any problem at the Point of Entry'
(immediately I heard her talk of POE before even giving us the white pickup form, i became calm cos i knew she has made her decision.)
VO: sir, how long did u say u will spend on the trip and ur second trip, i want to be sure i have it correct on ur profile
Me: 2 weeks on this trip and 2 weeks on the next trip but my wife and mum will stay for 12 weeks.
after typing and updating for abt 7 minutes
VO: Your Visa has been approved, pls make sure u travel with ur previous delivery reciept and pls avoid staying unecessary long period in the US, i know its 6 months they grant at the POE but such long duration flags off alert on our system and he gave me the white paper.
Me. Thank u madam and do have a blessed day.
didnt even ask my wife or my mum anything, not even thier names. I know its just God that did. so second missionary journey Loading. next is ticketing, God bless all that contributed and pls dnt mind my long post

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

kristinbaby:
Congratulations on your POE. Seems JFK is always with ease. I wish you safe delivery. You may find it difficult to renew your visa after it expired. God bless you.

Someone help please

NIFES:
Good morning all.
Please I will appreciate if someone can guide me (give tips) on how to search for doctors (contact emails) via Google search. I have been trying for the past 2 hours without anything meaningful. Proposed Birthing cities are Tampa,Florida and Chicago.
Thanks and God bless .
