sppecie: Hi Team

I have been following the posts discreetly for the past 7 months and took the best advice
from the group. This is the first Time I m posting on Nairaland.

My wife and I landed safely in the US in August and we are waiting for the arrival of my baby in October
in LA, California.
We are using a Nigerian Dr with more than 30 years practice in the US.

His charges are as below:

Prenatal Care & Delivery (Dr's fee): $1500

Caesarian Section Deliver( Dr's Fee): &2500

Vaginal Delivery (Hospital Fee) : $3000- 1 Day Stay

Caesarian Section Delivery (Hospital Fee): $5000 - 3 day stay

Other Extra Cost to you: Paediatric care for new baby, Lab Test and Ultrascan, You and Your baby's extra need


The Dr has fuly furnished accomodation at Inglewood, Downton LA, Long Beach
but my wife is staying at Inglewood, 2 min walk to the hospital she's planning to use at LA.

The furnished accomodation will cost $1200 per month. The accomodation is 3 bed Townhouse with seating/parlour downstairs,TV, internet,

kitchen utensils, etc

My wife currently is satying with another lady that came from London to deliver.

If you are interested to have your baby around LA, let me know and I ll send you the Dr's office phone and flyer.
(I m NOT sure if it's ok to post the flyer here)
Thanks

favored gal: @dotunbond: True, its a difficult situation, but you can still get it. You are married now and you probably have a good job and hopefully have been to other countries(if you havent try and visit at least three countries before you reapply)

My advice to you will be to fill the form like you wont have the opportunity of an interview.

For instance in the column they say have you been refused a visa before and reason. State yes, you'v applied twice and you'v been denied twice because of your dad. However you feel your situation is different...you have a job earning x amount while your husband earns x amount...and have no intention of absconding to face uncertainties.

You have also been to x no of countries and you have never overstayed your visa

Put everything you can put to show you have ties to naija on your form cuz you may not have the opportunity to say it at the interview and apply with your husband

This is what i did when filling my husband's form. He has a pending approved f4, so he already even had a documented intention to migrate and has been denied thrice prior to getting it last month. Goodluck

uchetobi: Is ca carlifonia? 15k is expensive o! I have a friend that gave birth in the catholic hospital in carlifonia for about 5.5k in total.

I wish your wife safe delivery

La Parisienne: You gotta be kidding me. Did you read his post at all? Maldives, Paris and Venice, with his budget?

Maldives is crazily expensive, same with Bora Bora, Fiji, Tahiti etc. He'll be looking at about $7,000-$10,000 for airfare, hotel and food for 2 persons for 7 nights!!! Lol

I know this because I've been looking at Maldives for my future vacation.

Paris can be cheap if you know your way around and stay in small boutique hotels. But airfare from Naija, food and tours will still cost him a lot more.
Venice is out of the question for him. Nice city but costs an arm and a leg!

@OP
Zanzibar can be done on your budget. You don't need a visa before entering, but you'll pay for it at the airport.
Dubai, Botswana, Egypt, Dakar, Turkey, Berlin, Prague, Budapest etc can be done on your budget with proper planning.
I'm a travel enthusiast. Let me know if you need more help.
am taking you up on the help issue if u come up with any package within my range just hala

Congrats on your wedding!

65% of the UK's exports to Nigeria are refined petroleum products. Thats just one example of what would be lost by the West through the removal of subsidies.
Those who talk about the West gaining from the policy are quite daft.
