I had a still birth on 7th Jan. Its such a very sad experiece


To my roommate, you know yourself, I say Thank you 

To God, I bless ur name, cos you have already given me the fortitude to bear the loss, even though I waited 3 years for this journey. I thank you for defending my own life, and for all.

To my husband, God be praised, I appreciate you more.
Sweetie! It is well with you dearie. I've been there twice and i know how this feels. Babies don't just die, something must have happened somewhere without u knowing. I never knew i had gestational diabetes until i lost d second one in a Diabetic crises... Wia d diabetes came from, i don't know. I never felt sick throughout and baby was kicking fine until the week baby died.... I simply noticed decreased movt which the mumu doctor dt saw me last explained away.... I came over it by HIS grace.
Romance your God at this time dearie, HE WILL CONSOLE MUCH DEEPER AND FASTER DN U CAN IMAGINE.
Then talk extensively about it not just with a doctor, an experienced high-risk doctor. I didnt talk about the first one with any experienced doctor till the second one happened. Never stop talking about it.
Another thing is facing all dt saw u pregnant....dt for me was the hardest part but strength was available from above and you owe nobody explanation wen they ask for baby.... "He's fine" is the answer! I pray for more of such strength for u. You're an overcomer already.

Please house, can i schedule my new appointment to Lagos? The first one was at Abuja. Since Abuja didnt work for me maybe Lagos would....*sigh*

[quote author=LadyGuinivere post=41262892][/quote]The statement wasnt forged at all.... Ever since I started working, i've been saving up with coop at my work place. The advantage is dt u can get double of ur savings as loan if ur salary can pay bak in max of 5yrs depending on d amt u borrow. Hubbyb at some point wanted loan and also made some deposits which he didn't eventually use so the 4m is available. If i nid loan of 8m, i can take it. The statement of account is real and dts what every staff at my Agency use for visa interview.

On the other hand, family members who have seen me go through these trying times are even willing to sponsor if its allowed. My husband's Aunt is d one going with me, hubby is gon be writing exams at d time i'm due. she's a frequent flier and very rich. She felt so bad with the denial but she doesn't know if she can stand in as sponsor this time but In actual fact, hubby nd i will still be paying our bills

Motherfucker2:
I know why you wasn't issued a visa.
Does your husband earn 250k per month or weekly ??
What was your aim of coming to the U.S ??
The problem is there may not be enough evidence to support your claim or they found something fishy.

The U.S government don't care who you're.
You may be the richest guy in your country and they find out something isn't right, you won't be given a visa, but a poor guy who is straight forward and truthful will get the visa.
They already know who they gonna give visa to even before you show up for the interview.
If there wasnt enough evidence, thought they would ask? My burden of proof pass Phema's own o but no doc was asked
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by frendly99: 7:20am On Dec 23, 2015
Hmmm... There was a gap before quoting hubby's salary cos he doesnt earn... Bizness profit is seasonal.... He kld make as much as 2m in a month t and as low as dt 250k. I didn't know where exactly to peg it.

I have a salary acct and i was adviced to use dt cos of stability. I earn 140k per month and have like a cooperative savings at work which hubby nd i have built to like 4m for birthing purpose (i was given a statement of acct frm work to reflect dt amount) The savings is being deducted right from source so it reflects on my pay slip. Since my last still birth experience, more dn half of my salary goes to dt savings while hubby takes total care of the home.

My budget sheet is estimated at 2.7m for birthing. I dnt intend spending up to dt but i made plans for NICU in case i have to be delivered early.

I filled business as hubby's occupation but like i said earlier, i put 'self' as sponsor on my 160 form

Its time to share e'en though the story is yet to be sweet.

I made up my mind long before now to share my interview transcript whether gud or gud smiley
I had my interview in Abuja.... I applied for b2 medical visa since i'm actually going for medical purpose.

Lemme give a brief history.....
Got married 2012. Became preggy in 2013 and baby died in utero at 38wks. Another preg came, baby didnt make it at 32wks. Is someone wondering where d doctors are when all dis happened? 'trust me u dont wanna know. Some wld be in jail by now in a sane country. Now, dnt wonder how i cope with d losses, i think some angels were deployed from above to kip me. Now another preg is here and i cant afford a third still birth. Fast forward to interview

Transcript goes thus:
Me: Gd afternoon ma'am
VO: Gd afternun with a smile.... So why are u going to Texas
Me: (Assumed she saw medical on my visa type) To have my baby
VO: where do you work
Me: I work for the govt
VO: what do u do there
Me: I explained my roles
VO : How much do you earn
Me: *grabbed my payslip to confirm the kobo kobo dt usually follow d amt*

Me: He's a bizness man, runs a printing press
VO: how much does he earn?
Me: (hubby doesn't earn salary so didnt know what to say but 250k jumped in my mouth and i spilled it)
VO: Sorry your application is not successful at dis time u may reapply.

Hello house, i think i'm not jjc here on this thread but before over sabi finish me, make i present my case before the gurus.... Interview date is close but suntin still dey fear me
I filled on my DS 160 form dt i'll be staying with a family friend in Arlington, Texas. He has even sent me invitation letter sef. It was later i got to know that hospitals nd docs there dnt give correspondence so i contacted the ones in Houston and i got both from the hospital and Dr.
Now my confusion is- what if the VO ask me why i'm showing correspondence from Houston wen i intend living in Arlington... Wetin i go talk? Arlington to Houston is abt 3Hrs....wont i come off as mumu wanting to birth in a place dts 3hrs frm wia i stay?

Pls note that all these are for visa purpose, my final destination is chicago.

@Hisuula abi wetin b ur name....The only reason u stayed glued to this thread is quite obvious. U prolly think pple here can afford to birth dia babies in US and definitely they must be rich. O se mistake aburo. The kain hustle wey some of us go even hustle to pay dis hospital bill and fund dis trip ehn... If we talk am here e go blow ur mind I swear! If u see me on top my sewing machine dey sew my colleagues cloth for midnite even with dis belle on top say I'm gainfully employed, u go fear fear. If u kip up with this begging attitude, u're not likely to make it early. "Apa lara, igunpa niye kan" if u know wat i mean. I bet if they giv u this money, u def will come bak for more. U seem to be a pro at begging. Oya roll ur sleeve and get down to work... U'll b amazed at how much u'll make in a short time. Peace!

Hello everyone, for the preggies, 'hope the hormones are being gentle on you. I'm not finding it all funny 'tho. To my question, please i'm heading towards Arlington in Dallas,Texas and i'm seriously considering Arlington memorial hospital or Medical center of Arlington. I need loads of suggestions on which hospital and Doctor is most affordable of the two.

Any other hospital in Dallas would be fine too.... Kindly help a sister smiley

Congratulations to all new mums and all those that got their visas and all those successful at POE. Just had my baby girl yesterday evening at Hackensack UMC Mountain Side NJ. Not really impressed with the services of the hospital but the doctors were quite good.
I'm happy for u dearie, congrats! NJ mums r gon start bombarding you with questions now... Lol, take ur time, rest nd take care of ur cutie hun..
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by frendly99: 8:52am On Dec 31, 2014
Please anyone with MORE info on affordable hospitals in NJ?. The cheapest i got was frm Hackensack UMC.... 5k dollars for CS and 3,800 for vag. This is excluding docs fee and other logistics involved in childbirth. Hubby feels more comfy with that location cos his pple r there. Kindly help a sister ejoor.

I'd really appreciate if someone could oblige to educate me on these issues...
Is having a travel experience a prerequisite for getting a US Visa? 'cos i see most people that got lucky have been to one place or the other before applying to US...I've never been out
Secondly, my birth trip is gon be sponsored by my in-laws, is it tenable to the Visa Officer even though my hubby would be there with me for the interview?
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by frendly99: 4:32pm On Nov 07, 2014
Hey guyz, its my first time here and really i'm impressed with the kind of assistance people render on this platform. Nigerians are good people no matter what!
Please is it possible to apply for US visa for the purpose of child birth without being pregnant yet. A friend has suffered multiple still births and just prefer to do the next one there, which makes sense to me. Is it a valid excuse? She has her medical history in case oyinbo asks for it
