Dear Sir,
I write to inform you of my intention to use my B1/B2 visa to give birth in the us ,the visa was originally gotten for vacation purpose . We have contacted a doctor and a hospital in the us and both have given us their bills and have agreed to accept us. We have the financial ability to pay our bills. We have also made adequate arrangements for accommodation .I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello house, please can anyone assist with notification sample for change of intent. Have searched most of the pages already. Thank you.

Pls u people should help me. I am falling sick cos of this flight thing. I told her to do lagos to houston she said turkish airline don't go to houston . I told her someone just went 2days ago. She then agreed to check and found it but the return is way too long. I have decided to use find a way to do it without her. I have tried to open turkish website but it's not opening on my device. Pls can anybody help me. My DH can't do anything cos he works offshore and his work is very tasking. My date is Dec 8- March 22nd. This is the reservation she sent me. Thank u

Would advise you to check Wakanow. Just checked for you dough there are flight of 489k to Houston but the incoming flight is wahala 44hrs is ur total trip time. However there is another one for 551k . outgoing flight is 21hrs and incoming is 14hrs.

After you do this research you already have an idea of the airlines going at an affordable rate, so you can search there website if you don't want to pay with Wakanow. Should be the same price or just little difference. My two cent. All the best

I am presently in new York took a shuttle to new York think you should book an hotel to avoid stories that touch then a local flight the next day. The service was good just make sure you are not over 32weeks to avoid issues.I used port health they rejected the one I printed out from their website since the first leg to Lome was thru asky the flight wasn't full so I had three seats to myself to sleep.

Thank you for the info. God bless

Hello! I am also going that route o but the ticket I got will be getting me to my final destination in Virginia. Though it's a 12 hour stopover so I plan to stay in an hotel overnight.

Where is your final destination? If you have trouble finding late flights you might want to spend the night at an inexpensive hotel.

Midland is the final plane stop. Thank you for the response

Lol @chief moderator, its about helping mothers to be get good and affordable option especially in an economy where all your savings is devalued.

Sharing information is good because have gained alot from pple on this forum as well.

There are about 5 different Baylor hospitals in Dallas. Additional info is definitely needed here. At carrollton, epidural/anaesthesiologist = >$2k etc so knowing the exact Baylor hospital will go a long way.

She used Baylor Scott ob/gyn package nd didn't opt for epidural which made it way cheaper.

Hello Nairalanders! FTM due in march'17 and i'm really happy to be part of nairaland, I have learnt a lot since I found out about this trend in July. I share experiences gotten here with friends that are also interested in giving birth in the US.

Now my worries: i'm torn in between giving birth in Houston and Dallas but I have more info(I got here)on Houston than dallas. I just found out about JPS hospital in dallas but the issue is the hospital cost? if they still take foreign patients (I read somewhere here that JPS doesn't accept foreign patients)? a doctor' name or contact? I have contacted the numbers I got online from my research but it's not been fruitful. Please help a sister!!! I need useful comments. Thanks!

A friend used an hospital in Dallas recently Baylor Scott and she got a total bill of 3000 dollars for hospital, 1,187 for doctor (will try and get the doctors name) den 71 dollars for followup check up and she already got her zero balance account. Shikena. Dough epidura and some others are not part of the package.

misscanada123:
Good morning my country people. Please has anyone ever flown Ethiopian airline on this missionary journey? I just want to get an idea of your experience and also cost of infant ticket , bassinet on board etc


Thanks

damolAyewoh:
Hi mamas and papas in the house. I have fully settled in and I have started my doctor's appointment with Doctor F. There are some nice apartments close to me in Houston here. You can PM me if you're interested. Also, for those looking for cheap tickets, my mum got one yesterday, you can also PM me.
congrats on the arrival of our LOs, successful POE and visa interviews.
Before I forget, my bag has been sent to me through FedEx. Thanks to everyone that contributed to that.

Please am interested in the cheap flight oo BT unable to PM you. Sent you an email and how else can i reach you. Thanks for d assist.

YoungMetrosG:
Hello Fatima. It would be best if you went online and searched for hospitals and doctors in Odessa. It's not a destination that's common as a destination for Nigerians so your own findings may be helpful. I'm guessing you're interested in that destination because you have hosts there. Ask them for suggestions and face Google for more info. Call and email the hospitals and doctors you find, get their costs, ask them about every associated cost and that way you'll have an idea about hidden charges etc.
As for flights, go to different airline websites, try WakaNow, travel beta, travel start, compare prices using your dates and you'll have a good idea what the average is and then you can make your decision. All the best

thank you forfor the help @young metrosG
Will update on findings there as well and will benefit the house

LadyGuinivere:
The question was if anyone has used odessa texas. If they have and aren't here anymore, they can't answer. If nobody can remember, they can't answer as well.
Your best bet is to use the search button, google search with refrence to nairaland or check the ist page for hospitals in odessa and start emailing/calling them

Thank you. Will try that again.
