Below are the list of documents I attended my interview with- aka “burden of proof”
mutual benefit statement
Personal savings account
Salary acount statement
Pension statement
1 year payslips
Letter of introduction from employer stating how long I have worked , my destination and that I’d be on paid vacation from the month of travel
Preggy scan
Marriage certificate and court affidavit of change of names
Marriage picture
Budget sheet (attached in previous post)
Tax I’d
Hospital correspondence showing bill(unpaid)
Doc correspondence showing date of first appointment and bill(unpaid)
Correspondence from hotel (unpaid)
Drivers license
Hubby valid visa page datapage

That’s what I can recall, will check and add more when I’m home to check the files, some of those documents may not apply to u or u may not need it but I always believe to be “over-prepared” than miss a thing.
All the best

Good Day house
Pls I just got my visa but plan to change my destination.
I used a correspondence from a rented accommodation in Houston and a corespondence from a doctor in Houston that gave me an appointment (i declared that I’m going for child birth- my first visit) for my interview and declared I have no family there in my application , the accommodation and hospital refused prepayment anyways but
just got connected to a family friend who has offered accommodation in Georgia .
To reduce cost I don’t mind the offer.
I plan to carry $9500 cash and the rest in card, will that suffice to prove I can self pay when I change location?
What documents would I require from my new host for POe?
What should I prepare for?
I’m reaching another doctor for an appointment correspondence in Georgia?
What should I expect?
How do I handle poe to avoid issues pls

Good day House
Pls how else can I take money with me.
I have a Bank of America card but it’s virgin and don’t want to credit it now and on arrival , they will use tax to finish it or is there a way I can use it and have my money in tact. I plan to carry $9,500 cash and the balance of my budget on card . Someone advised I put the balance in my dom acct that I can withdraw it from Usa.
Do I need to get another card for the dom account? I’m going for baby delivery and declared that at Interview

I chipped in that I also have savings in my company cooperative and some mutual benefit funds that are withdrawable (passed him those)
He took my passport and brought out the white paper and circled the location for pickup

TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by iwuoahsamuels: 6:14pm On Dec 06, 2017
Pls house , need some clarification on these , I engaged two hospitals and below are excerpts from each
Hospital 1: “You are not required to pay for the acceptance letter but if you are requesting on be written for
any reason you will first make $200 non-refundable fee“
Hospital 2, after sending my requested status profile : “I have scheduled you to come see Dr ** on 21st may 2018 by 11am. Pls let me know if there’s anything else I can help with”
My question: do I need to pay a certain amount for an acceptance letter that I need to go to interview with or for Poe?
Does the response or correspondence from hospital suffice for what I need for interview and Poe

I am not sure responses to this your post (even if people choose to)will be enough to prepare you for this trip. Sis, you have to read up. You will be spending millions of naira on this mission, you deserve to get the best out of it. Start from the first page of part 5 with your jotter an pen, you will thank me later with the amount of info you will get. All the best....
