Good afternoon
My bill was a bit higher cos it was an emmergency c/s also after pestering they sent some documents to me.

I also had papers from the obgyn and my bills from the peadiatrician ( in maryland ) for immunization and well baby clinic

I also printed my correspondence with henricos about the zero balance

Medical records sent a proof of medical care or something back then.

My first baby bill was also a bit high.
The document they sent me had this image on it

Health / Re: Canada Joins US, Changes Rules For Nigerian Doctors, Others To Practice by drafrican: 5:46am On Jul 10, 2023
NtoAkwaIbom:
We expect Nigeria to subsidize medical school n other courses only for them to go work abroad.

We subsidize fuel for African countries and subsidize professional courses, only for them to run abroad and practice,


WHAT DO WE GET AS NIGERIANS IN RETURN ?

CUBA was suffering the same thing, where it subsidizeed to train the best medical doctors, only for Dem to run abroad, thus it made compulsory national service for all doctors... Same should be adopted here... If you don't like, go to private university

My dear it cannot work except it applies to every graduate as that would equate to modern day slavery.

Secondly have you thought of the wages of Drs and the conditions under which they work.

How many medical officers own cars, how many live in reasonable housing, how many can send their kids to good schools, how many are able to buy a house before retirement.

People like you will still call on the phone and ask for free consultation “Paul ur son has fever and catered what can he use”

Hospitals no longer have Drs, no Drs available for employment and sadly they are not being replaced, we are doing four times the work, Seychelles pays $3000 a month medical officers earn 150,000-180,000 a month transportation alone is about 50-60k.

The school fees of zoologists and computer scientists as well as yoruba graduates was subsidized so also make them sign to serve Nigeria.

Yeye dey smell, better locate the babalawo around your house or face the reality that if you do not ratify medical workers salary (. Drs ,nurses, pharmacists, lab scientists and radiographers) we will continue to leave until you need to travel to ghana to have your appendix removed cos the waiting list will be 2 years!!!

My kids also deserve to go to Harvard like the politicians kids, I deserve to live in ikoyi too cos outside nigeria Drs are in the high economic earning bracket, in Nigeria they live above the poverty line, google how much Gabon and even s,Leone pays, meanwhile all dr in Lagos are either living in iyana ipaja ,ikorodu!

My friend left 2 years ago for USA Today he owns a 3 bedrooom in an estate in yaba and has just made down payment for his house in USA, he is married to a dr.

With ungrateful people like you I will definately JAKPA break your head if u like!!!! Express entry straight to uk, usa , Canada, australia to name a few!!!!

Just to give back
2015 baby 1
2017 baby2
Declared intent , did drop box for baby 3 and was told to come for interview (trump era), scaled the interview and had baby 3.
What helped
Payed a reasonable amount for all 3 kids, while I can’t criticize anyone for paying 3k, know that during trump it was easier to renew if
-you declared your intent to have a baby
-you paid between 8-15k
-you kept to the travel time frame declared
- you had each baby with a different visa or informed them of using same visa for current pregnancy
Covid happened and I could not renew until this year
Did a drop box and got 5yrs.
My advise
Avoid freebeez
Be honest
Let your financial records be in sync
Pay all your billz
Avoid crime like a parking ticket, not declaring above $10,000
Don’t lie about anything
Be sure ur host really wants you there, sometimes they will call the person before your interview
Avoid red flags like a mother of 4 travelling with hubby and leaving all kids behind.
Don’t give ur child social security to anyone they can use it to claim benefits and it will affect you.
Good luck

Hello everyone. I am new on this site. Please will like to get a b2 visa to give birth in the US but getting a hospital which accept self paid services has not been easy. I guess I need recommendations from the doc to add to my docs. Please any recommendations on how to carry on. Precisely a hospital in Maryland will be best at a moderate prize too. Thanks in advance.

There is amn all inclusive package vginal 10k
Cs 15k
So far as complications dont set in ie jaundice

Titok207:
Apparently, I had the initial quote from henrico doctors hospital and had all my prenatal test done there. I then read drafricana’s post about henrico and visa renewal. At the POE, I was sent to secondary inspection. The IO that attended to me asked what hospital I wanted to use, gave him the henrico doctors hospital result and all. He then ask if that is the main hospital I wanted to use, I then mentioned to him I had changed my mind and showed him Dr Moore’s letter and all that I am aware of the insurance more reason I had to change my hospital. He replied saying; if you had told me you wanted to use this hospital, I would have send you back to Nigeria because they claim self pay whereas they use insurance and taxpayers money.
So, Mothers if possible kindly avoid hospitals with self pay price or rediculous bills. He accepted the Maryland own and stamped me in. I then asked if I wouldn’t have issue with the hospital, he said provided I pay all my bills.

Some people feel am calling them out for nothing let me elaborate
1) they wont give an itemised bill
2) after you give birth they will never be helpful
In anyway,all calls go to voice mail
3) i have a bill that states “insurance discount”
The others are just reciepts
4) called dr fitzhugh to help me sort it out they told him they dont give itemized bill and can not help him that if the embassy needs verification they should call the hospital
5)they do not accept any additional payments
6)the hospital is now a red flag like the huston hospitals
7)they will sweet talk u initially dont be fooled its a death trap and i mean it
cool if ur a billy goat go there,if you doubt i can flood your time line with email transcripts
9) my sister drove 8 hrs there to sort thing out guess what they said its confidential and dey can only attend to me in person
Ve. Never seen this kind of thing before....
10) a word is enough for the wise cos 2 years later ya gonna be needing a renewal jejely port to maryland now that God has sent me as ur angel
11) anyone that has used henricos and renewed “WAVE YOUR HAND”
