[quote author=ozycy post=39799395]You don't need a Naija visa if you have Naija passport. People go for Naija visa even dou it's more expensive cos they are not in New York, Maryland and Atlanta where dey have Nigeria consulate. If to say dem get bus wey dey go new York, Maryland or Atlanta from Houston, I for enter am reach der. .

Thanks so much @tobermum
But with d naija passport now, u don't need a visa or anything on it for baby to leave to naija abi?
But wait oo if its roughly 100 bucks and takes barely 48hrs how come most people still prefer to do naija visa which is almost 3 times d cost?
Or it can only be done in NYC only?

Tobermom:
No problem at all. I didnt do a nigerian visa, i did a passport and didnt use any agent. Just applied online, bought money order of 77 and an extra 30 for processing fee and took to the nigerian consulate

Congrats Jayjay on the birth of your baby. Discovered this thread sometime last year after I returned from having my baby in Massachusetts (Brockton) last year and have been following since then. I agree with you that the cost of having a baby in Massachusetts (particularly Boston area) is high but like your wife, I had free accomodation , feeding and my friends were really nice to me and organised a surprise baby shower and blessed by Princess with lots of clothes, shoes and some cash) so I didn't mind the associated cost of having the baby there cos I felt I was home.

Has your wife picked up the baby's birth certificate? I was able to pick my baby's bc 3 working days after her birth. For her passport, I went to the Boston Passport Agency at 10 Causeway Street and was asked to pick her passport the following day. Although they advise you make an appointment before visiting the agency, I just walked in and was lucky I was attended to after explaining to them the passport was needed for an urgent travel to Nigeria. I used Eddy for the Nigerian Visa. In total, I was able to get all her documents in two weeks.

I wish you and your family all the best.

About the birth certificate theyre saying two weeks oo
How did unget d birth cert in two days pls help!

Hope she will be able to finish her baby's documents in two weeks two days as you promised

Hmmm the cost breakdown na no go area ooo, long story but summary is my aunty insisted she stays with dem in Boston, dat they will offset d diff between elpaso and Boston, which they have done already
And now free accommodation, feeding, transport to and from hospital and for shopping etc and she's enjoying d company with familiar faces=-d =ddd
So tey dem even organise surprise baby shower for her too, Isn't God good
For baby doc anywhere we get stuck U WILL HEAR FROM US

To God be the glory, DW delivered abig bouncing baby boy yesterday @ Beverly hospital Danvers Boston

How's our wife

neks31:
Firstty read in btw her line n decide what this woman is trying to say I have a shop n travel there to buy stuff n I hate d turkey experience but I can't help it cos my customers love their clothes!! So I was just trying to advise the lady cos I knw the Turkish r not friendly n being preggy n on dat flight won't be that good for her sanity!! So why should some one say I'm not being genuine because I said my truth!! And it's not fair that she has her baby n prolly back to naija n antagonizing people here!! That's not cool!! Aren't we meant to be our sistas?? Maybe I missed d memo sha!! I had to even behave stupid by uploading my girls pic out of annoyance!!

All this kasala me no see the genesis ooo, na misunderstanding/misrepresentation oooo
@neks & @modath
Both of u are advising her against Turkish airline, and meanwhile ingenuity doesn't mean you're not genuine
ooo @ neks plsss, I sure say na hormones
reminds me of wen DW cry so tey say she wan enter plane come back naija
Had to beg and say don't worry LO will soon come, then 2 weeks and 2 days u can come back
@ocy take note I will pick your brains about the 2 weeks 2 days thingy these hormones can do things ooo
So let me reiterate pls make una sheat d swords and sip tea like firsty
Peace out

[quote author=bbaby84 post=39393876]Don't get that part. How do you get discount for a hospital you've not used or don't intend using?

The only agent that advertises on this thread as far as am concerned, ie doctoresparati , offer Money for referral so what are we talking about?

Phema:
Abi naw. Afterall there are very few of such ads. Why restrict a whole lot of vital info cos of them?

Apart from doctoresparati me I no dey see any other hospital adverts o, abi I no dey shine my eye well well

KayLayChi:
I also wonder too, I don't think they read it cos if you have read this thread then you will know how to process baby's docs. I didn't have to ask any question when I was processing my baby's because I read through and made notes.

I think another issue is not taking pen and paper to jot down, if u can't do dat whenever u see useful info you can just munch/ screengrab/take a screen shot, that way its saved on your fone for future reference

[quote author=firsttymum post=39059619]A friend of a friend is 25 weeks pregnant.

She got her visa 2weeks ago.

She was asked where she works
And who she's going to the US with and her reply was she's going with her hubby for vacation.

In all honesty she wants to go for delivery

Ours was a similar situation, wifey was 22 weeks wen we went for d interview, they asked if she was pregnant or needed any medical care, which she replied No, visas granted
We then stumbled on NL, and saw change of intent which we den sent like 2 weeks later to both abuja and Lagos, got generic replies d Same day. We then started packaging drs correspondence, cash, etc for POE which even though was a breeze we actually had to show.

Part 3 present sir
JD Queen congrats on d the successful and smooth POE

[quote author=MiddyO post=38684183][/quote]Exactly, happened to me o, after I had physically gone to the airport, they said oh they don't do bank transfer nor online banking, so couldn't buy that day only for me to bring cash on d day of travelling which was like 2 days later for dem to tell me no dollars [sup][/sup] had no choice den but to buy @223 from BDC, so annoying, so pls sort it out before date of travel o

You ever hear of a WOMAN telling a pregnant woman that she should stop throwing up cos the sound is irritating..... said it's an involuntary action but was gently scolded to try & manage it..

After delivery, i was asked why i no longer throw up, said i told you it was involuntary but i was informed that no one throws up in late pregnancy so it was a deliberate act to annoy...

:oo TWO HANDS ON HEAD SHOUTING CHINEKEEE

Tobermom:
Omo! Im having braxton hicks contractions here just reading gaggle last post. I was shown the exact same things and just like her i wasnt really seeing anything. it is well ooo

Hahahahahaha @ firsty! Abeg ooo

Hollop hollop.... Shii gerrahia mehn.


Nothing we no go see for nairaland. I don't even know the language to type I don't understand what u just typed. We might just need interpreters soon

Sounds sponsored lol

delvy:
My dear wise ones i still seek your opinion on the questions asked earlier biko

My thot, you have your visa already, you have correspondences and receipts of part payment, that should suffice for POE, somebody just mentioned some 'affordable' hospitals in NJ like 2 posts before this, (St marys and St Barnabas I think)
Return ticket is a must if u don't have residency permit
Gurus I try?

olokings:
U see exactly what I am saying....?!
The charges you runaway from with naija banks exchange rate and surcharges u pay with amelican minimum balance n hidden surcharges as well.
These feefoo know how to rip u n kip u smiling at the same time ..lol...

Yes oo me I'd rather swipe GT card ( which is now the cheapest @220.4) or pay cash, wen I don collect $@199.5, why will I want to withdraw $ at 220 plus charges lol

firsttymum:
I just used my stanbic card 220.5 per dollar... Mscheew

What! see me feeling bad dat maybe I should have opened a stanbic acct before leaving for swiping purposes....
GT is 220.4 and Access is 225!!!
Na wa ooo

Chai !!!@ Fisrty Kpele... It can be so demoralising and stressful having to go back home after a scheduled trip, irrespective of the reason. I have been paranoid ever since after I missed a flight once,
I remember for this trip our flight was 1125pm, and DW couldn't understand why we took off to the airport @5pn lol, I said Ehn I'd rather finish everything and be sitting down and waiting ;DD

It's about illegal immigrants who didn't enter d US legally so they don't have a valid US visa

Leez29:
Congrats....Guess you were the one I saw at the embassy on same day with a mil uniform. Advice you check with Arik Office at Transcorp Abuja instead of calling cos most of the customer care personel give wrong info on the phone. Goodluck

@free2naira: Arik Lagos experience
At the check in counter even if u have a fit to fly, they will direct you to the port health downstairs at the arrival where the staff will examine her and fill a fit to fly for her. This is my personal opinion, I think if they asses that you look healthy and your vitals are OK, they just issue u a fit to fly certificate, cos my wife was 32 weeks, Arik says they don't carry beyond 28 weeks, we went to port health they examined measured and gave us a fit to fly certificate, we noticed that they wrote 28 weeks there even though we told dem we were 32 weeks, on gisting with dem, they said they won't give a fit to fly to anybody who is assesed to be 36 weeks . so I assume if you're less than 36 weeks they just write 28 and declare u fit to fly.
The fee is N1,200

[quote author=tosinajib post=38022765]Quite and interesting read. So happy for you. Please can I have a sample of the budget sheet you used? [/quote

Phemas sample budget sheet is on Part one pages 105-106

Can I search for something only on this thread? Without it bringing up search results from other travel threads?

Pls anybody here who used a different doctor in el Paso?I need doctor's contact.[/quote]It's Rodolfo @ doctoresparati that issues doctors o, and even hospital and appointment, gave us Dr Lobriel
