Unless you have an urgent meeting to attend, I would advise you change your trip depature by at least 1 week or max 2 weeks, so that you don't lose your ticket money and to ensure you have collected your passport. Wish you the best.

Even you self know it's awkward booking your flight when you have not gotten your passport. Did the US Ambassador guarantee you your passport will come out before your travel date and you had confidence to go and pay for ticket?
In as much as I hate how Twoods responds to people, but you people give him the reason to talk to you people anyhow. Just look at this case, and you have mouth to talk jump and pass. You for sharp mouth like this for VO make e give you your passport on the day of interview as you don already book your flight to obodoyingbo naa

Abuleoshi:

Wonders shall never End... You booked your ticket to America and your passport is with American embassy? Hmmm

Attention Atlanta Mums,

I called Gwiwnnett price estimate line and the automated system said their hospital fees were:

4-6k for normal delivery with 40% discount for self pay
10-12 k for cs with same discount for self pay.

HOWEVER,
I had sent them an email over the weekend when I was considering porting from northside since I couldn't seem to get a doctor there to take me at 35weeks. I got their reply this morning which stated a whopping 2x increase . Read a portion below:

"Prices are based on level of care and length of stay. On average, patients who experience a normal vaginal delivery and remain in our facility for 2 days incur charges from $8,000 to $10,000.

Patients who deliver by caesarian who remain in our facility for 4 days incur charges from $15,000 to $25,000. "

(And of course you know this excludes physicians fee, anaestheasia, paediatricians fee etc...)

I called the financial counsellor whose number was on the email and told her that their voice prompt gave me a different quote from her email. She put me on hold for a few minutes to confirm this and got back to me apologizing that the voice prompt had not been updated yet, and that this was the new price estimate ! She also said they dont do more than a 40% discount, and that if I was "STRUGGLING" financially I should applY for Medicaid! ( which of course I would NEVER do)!

So for those of us intending to birth at Gwinnett, please be aware of this price review, don't be shocked after delivery. E no go funny!
