Hello guys. Please I sent an email to Nigerian immigration on getting the VOA for my son... And I got a reply with just "Received ". Does anybody know if they will send a follow up email or do I need to write them again. Thanks in advance!

We stayed with family.. and the hospital fee we paid was like a promo kindda thing. You’d have to pay the entire fee before delivery to qualify... if you don’t then you will be billed heavily. We haven’t gotten any bills yet cuz they just changed their platform and haven’t merged the old with the new one but we have all our receipts and the hospital said we should come next week to get a clearance letter that we don’t owe anything. VD is 3200 and CD is 4200.

Congratulations!
This bill looks great. Did you stay with family? if no, please where did you lodge and how much did accommodation cost?
Did the hospital give you an itemized bill and zero balance? I'd like to send you a pm please.

quote author=deevuu post=66661301]Hi guys!! so ive been a silent follower on this thread and trust me i read through all the pages and picked up plenty useful tips that helped myself and DW before we traveled...POE and even before delivery. We had our baby boy last week!! and it was here in Atlanta (Atlanta Medical Center).
The Hospital fee was $3200 and the doctors fee was $1000 and $50 for each of the six prenatal visits! We are still waiting for our clearance letter for all the bills tho...but im thankful that everything is in order so far. currently we are using south-side medical center pediatrics and each visit cost $60. i just want to thank all the guys sharing useful tips on here and useful experiences...God bless y'all.

I'll share my own poe experience and that of my wife later tho...cuz we traveled on separate dates.

Hello Ayokunle, hope ur fine and ur fam?

Please I would like to find out more on Emory Midtown because myself and the wife are considering them as we are a bit familiar with Atlanta. Please can you send me an email with how to contact them and also Dr Tate..because I have called them and even sent an email..but I didn’t get any concrete information.

My email is Oladeji.sulaimon@outlook.com

Thanks!

Hello house.

I'm grateful for the gift of this forum. I have consulted nairaland at almost every point of my adult life since 2007 - from the time I came fresh out of school, then NYSC, job, relationship, visa interview, and now birthing in the US. In the course of this journey, I have made interesting friends from here, and received countless invaluable contributions from guys here.

So here is the full account of the missionary journey of my DW.

She flew Qatar Airways at 34w4d to Atlanta in July. 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) and on the morning of the flight, we got the printed voucher. She got to Qatar and she was told her the airport hotel was full. They gave her a city hotel but Qatar Immigrations would not allow her in. It was later I learnt that Qatar immigrations won't allow entry to people flying for medical purposes/pregnancy.

Fast forward to Atlanta airport, no fireworks. The CBP 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 or presented.

Hospital: Emory Midtown (Dr Tates)

I'll skip the details that most of us know but I believe some other info here may help mamas contemplating Atlanta and Emory.

We paid for CS and epidural, about $6,525 and Dr Tate's $1,500. On the first appointment, he recommended a test that cost about $100 or so at another location due to the peculiarity of her pregnancy. Dr Tate said she'd need to be induced. She was induced at Emory on Saturday afternoon. All this time I was afraid of the bills that would be slammed at us as we seem to have clearly gone out of the provisions of the package by the induction - but DW's health was paramount to me. But, God, being so good, she pushed without epidural on Sunday afternoon and was discharged on Wednesday. That's about 4 days in the hospital.

Then the big bills came. About 3 weeks later, the adjusted zero balance statement came in. To cut it short, our prepaid money covered for the induction and the 4 days stay in the hospital (that was amazing). Since it was VD, we got a refund of the exact difference. Epidural refund was to come a month after the delivery. Because we paid with a USD card (GTB), refund was easy and straight. We didn't open any account in America. Emory's in-house paed, Child Healthcare of Atlanta, CHOA charged five hundred plus for 'professional' fees the first time with a discount of 40% if payment is made 30 days after receipt of the bill. About a month and half later, the same CHOA sent another bill of 283 for the '2nd physician'. DW argued and shouted and told them she cannot pay after already getting a zero balance from the same CHOA. They offered the 40% discount but DW asked for a 70% discount! They accepted and we paid. We also engaged an external paed after delivery, Kidcare,..cost $140 on first visit, and $90 for the second visit.

SSN came in by mail about a week after delivery. DW waited for me to arrive before we picked up the BC and the other documentation (that was about 1 month after delivery). We got the Nigerian passport after 3 visits to the Consulate at Roswell. $77 fee, $30 for the business centre that we paid through, and $65 for money order to expedite it. If you are in Atlanta, you can PM me to give you tips because expediting is not really an option for all. You must have proof that you are travelling in a few days time. Got the passport one week after. US passport was expedited ($165 I think, not sure now) and collected same day, in fact in 3 hours sef. Infant ticket was bought over the phone at $150 or so.

Special thanks to God and all the contributors on this forum especially cfcchick, Eilenora, reniduke. I am available to assist expectant Emory mamas. God bless you all.
