Wow! So sorry, just saw this. I didnt get the american passport before the birth certificate. I got the passport same day i got the birth certificate. I went downtown to get the birth certificate then proceeded to the passport office to apply.I waited to get the american passport 2hrs later.
From my own expericience the confirmation of birth letter wasnt requested for where i got the BC. Just ID

Please how did you apply for the American passport without getting the birth certificate first?
Also just gave birth at Northside in atl and we filled the birth certificate form 2 days after,
now waiting for the confirmation letter in the mail after which i will buy a moneyorder and mail it
for the original certificate. Please how do I apply for both american and nigerian passports?

Its time to give back to a community i have learnt so much from. I got my visa september 2017. Here is the transcript. I was interviewed in lagos by an elderly woman
VO goodmorning

Me: goodmorning ma'am

VO fine can i have your passport

Me: sure

VO what you going to do in the US
Me: to give birth

VO have you contacted a doctor and a hospital

Me: Yes(expatiated further on the name of the doctor and hospital and attempted to bring out the correspondence and letters but she said i shouldnt bother.

VO how did you get to know about the doctor

Me: got to know about her through a friend that had used her earlier
VO which state are you going to

Me: Georgia
VO: how long do you intend to spend
Me: 12weeks
VO: where will you stay
Me: intown suites(gave her the address)

VO: how much is your budget
Me: About 15k dollars( tried pulling out my documents but she said i shouldnt bring out any of the documents

VO: How long have you been working at your place of work
Me: Over 2yrs
VO: what does your husband do
Me: bleep
VO: will he accompany you
Me: No because hes a very busy person and cant afford to be away frm work for that long

VO: You have a son already, who will be taking care of him while you are away
Me: My mum
VO: i will grant your visa
She gave me the white paper and i said thank you.

At the airport, fit to fly from port health was requested for despite having one from my doctor. Flew virgin atlantic at 35weeks 5days in november( better to fly them earlier because they almost did not fly me under the pretence that they dont fly pregnant women beyond 32weeks as opposed to what is on their website). Anyways, God showed up for me.
Fast forward to POE
POE was atlanta. The queue was extremely long, after standing for like 1hr 30mins i was directed to use the self service machine. Got my print out and joined another queue. Got to my turn eventually.
CBP: hello
Me: hi good day
Cbp: why are you here
Me: to have my baby and spend my maternity leave
Cbp: how long will you be spending here
Me:9weeks(note i said 12weeks at my interview but couldnt make it early as i planned due to work)
Cbp: where will you stay
Me: gave him the address of the intown suite
Cbp: lemme have the hospital correspondence(handed it over to him
Cbp: how much do you have on you
Me: 4kdollars , ive paid my hospital fees and i have about 6kdollars on my cards
Cbp: can i see the receipt of payment you made to the hospital
Looked at it for a minute and went to meet another officer who told him to go give another officer.
Cbp 2: hello
Me: hi good day
Cbp 2: why are you in the US
Me: for childbirth
Cbp: how much do you have with you(gave him same response as above)
Cbp: any food stuff
Me:yes
My documents were kept in a folder and given to a lady who told me my bags will be retrieved so as to be searched.
Got to agric and they asked same questions as above and checked the documents i submitted earlier while i waited for my bags to be brought..
Waited for like 20mins and didnt see my bags, had to go bring it from baggage claim myself.
The officer in agric just said i should go with my bags, it wasnt opened. Carried rice, beans, egusi, yam flour, knor cubes, dried fish, dry pepper, peak milk, milo all packed in ziploc bags and labelled.

Planned and paid for a vaginal delievery though i ended up with a csection.Had my 9pounds 6ounce baby 5weeks after at 41weeks via emergency Ceaserian section at northside hospital . Came in for induction which was almost successful until i got dilated to 9.5cm for over 2hrs. Baby didnt descend enough to be pushed out hence i was sectioned.

Hospital bill $6875

Paid extra $685 for baby

Anesthesia: $3063

Paed $850

Doctor $1900

Infant ticket on VA $436( i almost fainted when i was told, guess its cos its peak period)

Filled the birth cert form 2days after delivery.
Birth cert was gotten 1week after( 3copies for $35

American passport $165(was gotten same day i got BC
Naija passport $235 (they had only 64pages, expedited it and got it after 1week)
SSN was gotten 12days after by mail.

Missionary journey ended successfully. We give God all the glory
A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this forum.
Sorry about the typos(time constraints)

Please how do i get an employer? Recently passed the cbt.
gratefulme40:



Cbt costs about £140. I am not sure about Naira equivalent as the rate changes everyday.

No, they don't send you resource material for Cbt just read random things online but focus on UK guidelines.

As per hospita, any NHS trust is good for a start as they are the ones that have the right training package for OSCE
