Tvegas:
Why are you making your case difficult and over analysing this situation? People can give birth wherever they want. Recently some americans have started obtaining canadian passport to ward of the threat from terrorist whenever they visit the middle east.

LMAO!!!!! Tvegas, you cracked me up big time, "THE QUEST FOR THE BLUE PALI"

dayo1401:
Thanks Shawbabe and Pattyreal; I just want the application to be as simple as possible without any complicated stories.
She can use my bank statement and I've documentation to proof the source of the money from my business both in UK.
If she uses my bank statement does that mean there will be no money in her account?

First time i got a US visa, i didnt have up to 500k ( if e reach sef) in my account, and i was granted 2 years multiple entry, dem no even ask me for my statement, 5M would raise red flags for a student/teacher, if its yours then just give her a statement and letter of sponsorship. please don't say she is a house wife, being a teacher in dubai is a good tie to her country of residence.

dayo1401:
@shawbabe, thanks a lot, the N5m is from me her hubby, I run a business in naija and I run a business in the uk as well. Her spouse visa is a biometric card and not a visa stamp on the passport so she has just one new naija passport without any visa on it. (we just filed for a missing passport and got a new one at the passport office)

you didn't need to get a new passport, the VO decides to grant or deny you visa before asking for your passport, LOL.. you don't even need to carry money and put in her account, you should have just given her your statement. showing that she has a UK visa ( strong one at that) should boost her chance during the application phase ( or would you say she hasn't traveled to the UK). Hope immigration wont cancel that passport with the spouse visa (since its a card and you don't need the passport itself) why cancel it. don't complicate things, my 2 cents.

Sholz200:
you didnt need to reply to my questions this is a forum and therefore suppose to be used to asked questions i have read through the pages and only looking for more options and my dear it isnt a bad thing to want to be more educated i am not looking to be spoon fed so pls kindly do not reply to my post if it disturbs you thank you

No dear, you haven't read through the pages, and your tone is rather .... ( i reserve my comment) for someone looking for help, i noticed you have been asking questions up and down the last few pages of the thread, if you cant read from page 1, read from page 100, this question you are asking have been answered a millions times, you would get more information too on other things. and dont pick on me, we are all hormonal...

babs4all:
NICE THREAD. I NEED ADVICE PLS....

Hi Babs, try not to type in upper caps, it's distracting. I am Using Missouri Baptist on st. Louis. Would resume my search for an OBG after the holidays. Would pass all info I have to you. When is your interview or when is your wife traveling ?

modath:
Thanks for the response,I was curious cos people were listing epidural as an option when listing CS fees.. I'm not being sarcastic but I've had two(1st was an emergency while the 2nd was elective) so I know what it feeeelllls like. I felt like having an out of body experience within the 1st 12hrs on both occassions cos the pain was real gangster.
I'm getting ready for no 3(& final) and making enquiries to guide budgetting.
Thanks once again.

Nb. I've already reached out to dr fagbohun and he has given me a breakdown, I also got two other nigerian drs on healthgrade that I intend to reach out to for comparison.

They are only breaking down the cost so that we people know what they are paying for not saying its is optional when is come to CS per say, or they have listed it together with the Natural delivery where epi is optional...

Shawbabe:
Lol when I dey tell una say BA is the worst airline flying to naija, una no wan hear. The days of BA being the best, has long gone. It's like they send their worst planes and hostesses to Nigeria. It's terrible!

Gosh , but BA has been kind to us o, we were even upgraded to economy premium around October last year, cos i was carrying an infant ( or so i thought ). plus them UK people gets to stamp my UK visa.
@Anonymousmum, lmao @water... BA sef..

Congratulations dear @akelvin and phema, we bless God for your safe delivery, May he keep them for you both IJN. Amen...

lizcom25:
W@kizluv. I want to renew my visa by drop box and what do I need to do. I read somewhere on this platform but can't remember now

Fill your ds-160 form and then complete your application.This would lead you to the dropbox option ( the system would automatically take you towards dropbox if you qualify, but you can choose to opt out. )
Now you need to take just 5 and only 5 things to dhl to submit.
1. Your application confirmation page.
2. Drop box letter ( you would get it at the end after you opt for dropbox,)
3. passport booklet
4. Passport photograph.
5. Gtb payment reference.

lemme know if you have anymore questions, gl...

malihamlagos:
LOL!!!! So true, I should definitely be getting a commission!!!! Actually I never posted my interview because I knew it would look like I was a marketer! wink I wanted to contribute since I received info from this forum, but im definitely erasing my comment.

So how many babies do you have? you said TWINS when you gave us the first visa interview transcript and now your birth announcement says " i just had my baby", no mother would mistake " baby" for " Babies" . which one you no dai? i have gone through your post and i see you kinda intentionally discredit MIHS, hmmm...

lizcom25:
Please can someone help me with where to read about renewal of your visa using drop box? Thanks

I cant remember but you can ask me what you want to know ( i guess you don't want to repeat the question), i would help with any info i have...

Babatwi:
I was one of those that initially wrote that since her visa had expired,she was illegaly in the us. But due to the diverse opinion on this, i took time out to research this,from what i found out,she is still within her rights,since she has not over stayed the date stamped at poe.
For furthe clearificationyou can check out this site: http://www.immihelp.com/visas/visa-stamp-arrival-departure-record.html. I hope this sheds more light on the issue

Yes, Exactly what i said too, so we are on the same page...

zeezahbee:
you find me come here, na only student visa i sabi well. i will answer your question . your friend is 100% illegal immigrant, a real one at that. the new obama immigration reform is not applicable to her, it is only for people that have been in USA 5years or more and did leave the USA. as for the child, he/she is a confirm citizen even though his motheris not. as long as you give birth in USA either you are illegal or not, your child automatically becomes a cittizen.

HAAA!!!!!, she is not a 100% illegal Immigrant, she got in with a valid visa and the visa expired while in the US. If she was stamped in for six months at the POE by the CBP officer and hasn't stayed more than that time, she is still not illegal. I don't think the said friend intends to benefit from the Obama immigration reforms o.

Larondoo22:
well that's good where will you be going?thinking of traveling in February too because of this there election

I finally just made up my mind this evening. I would be going to St. Louis in Missouri. ( many thanks to @Adiahabasi for helping me find the page with this hospital's details again.
My sister in law confirmed the prices for me today:
Mobap ( Missouri baptist) Hospital fee alone.
Womanly delivery - 48hrs -$2600
each extra day 772 for mum, 328 for baby.
Epidural $800
CS - 96hrs - $3600.
I still trying to find out if the fee covers test and scans and I am still looking for a doctor and a pediatrician

exxy:
a friend just gave birth in new york, she entered the states with a visit visa and her visa expired some months back, pls house will her child get citenzenship? if there is a procedure for that, how will she go about it.
zeezahbee and others pls help out.

Even if your friend was smuggled into the US, or your friend had her baby in US airspace eg, the plane was passing over the states and she gave birth. The child is a citizen automatically. EXCEPT Your friend is a diplomat and came for a diplomatic assignment and had her baby during the said assignment, Then the baby won't be a citizen. Kapish?? ...

Shawbabe:
April mum too here. But I'm leaving in Jan. Don't want to be showing so much when I travel. And I'm going to Atlanta.

Pls Atlanta mums, any accommodation info? I'm still looking

Wont you be in US for too long? plus the money you would spend on accommodation would be alot. Just saying...

Larondoo22:
Pls any April mum in d house traveling in March?

Early April Mum , Traveling mid February (My first baby came 2 weeks early), so this baby may Come late march ...

Shawbabe:
Lol BA is like the worst airline that comes to naija. Tiny leg room, tasteless food and rude hostesses. Not to mention the 100 hrs layover in London. I wonder why Nigerians hype BA

LMAO! !! You ain't lying at small leg room, but I am a tiny person so I no get wahala for that one . I fly BA so them UK people would stamp my UK visa jare. Using 1 stone to kill 2 birds. The condition of their flights to/from Nigerian is like night and day compared to say to/from US. God dai sha..

Seshmemon:
Yes it was a very stressful time after the Poe experience......

Hmmmmm, Thank you for all this information.

SisiOlu:
There was a time people used to say travelling with BA when preg was risky. There were soo many stories of how they sent pregnant women back or revoked US visas by calling US embassy at the airport or in the UK during transit.
I have always tot to avoid BA but seems like fins ve changed and a lot of preggies are travelling wt them. I stand corrected

Hia, i dunno o, i flew BA may 2012, i was 5 months preg with an obvious bump, i was not asked a single question, the UK - US leg was very good, them give me juice taya, and kept asking if i was OK. Why would they do that kind of thing, wetin concern BA and US embassy..

Virtuousdiva:
@MamaTobenna.... I am using BA as well and the best advice I can give you is to buy this ticket as we see am now cos it will only get worse oooo.I was going to wait as well but I can't afford to feel sorry for myself unless you want to take the chance sha....Cheers.

I doubt this very much, the price usually comes down in feb after the holiday rush, i am going in feb, but wont try to buy now at all, its too expensive...

MamaTobenna:
Pls if u hear of any Awoof ticket on British airways. Pls let a sister know o. Travelling first week in feb. Chilling for the price to drop. K hope say the thing no go double but if u hear make una halla a sister abeg

Lmao, i am traveling first week in feb too, and i am stalking BA for the price to drops, please lemme know o, i would return the favor...
