You did the right thing, better safe than sorry, the truth will eventually be obvious at POE and you don't want stories. Father in law offer is a no-no except he is the sponsor. I think the issue was with the transfer, lump sum is always a red flag. You need to explain at your next appointment but make it simple. I think liquidating your FD and investments makes it simple for them to understand the funds are available. daxx: |

Bubbles123: Newark hospitals aren't too far from New York and they're cheaper, however in case of a labour that progresses fast, you need to be able to get to the hospital quickly. I used St Peters and it's not close to NY at all. 2 Likes |

Myself, mum and LO returned to Nigeria last night, we give God ALL the glory. I'm grateful for the info gathered here, God bless every contributor and it is in the light of this that I am sharing my experience as well. I had some issues with BC which necessitated an ammendent, so I dint get it back till about 2 weeks to my return date. I applied for both passports at New York and it wasn't too stressful, I received naija passport same day and US passport next day. For US passport i paid $165 while naija passport was $107 (77 for passport and 30 for processing) . Naija passport - I did not have to post money order to Innovate1, the payment page was printed after associating the money order, so if you are pressed for time, want to save cost on ETC, and close to the 3 states that issue, I would go for the passport, just follow the instructions on the site. US passport- so I found that you could do walk in when you are very close to your travel date and have no appointment that fits into your travel date, but be ready for a looooong queue outside! Even with my appointment, I waited 2 hours before I was seen ie after getting in to the interview room. Then we encountered an unusual favour on our return, God was at work. I purchased an infant lap ticket at the airport for $63.40 through Delta altho I booked my flight on Airfrance but it was a code share flight. This took very long though as the lady had to call to book it. We also got bassinet seat in Economy comfort without paying a cent, I think that was their only bassinet seat. 12 Likes |

Lol thank you but this was asked in respect of passport issuance. [ quote author=Vlesparza post=47088222] Most places in the US do not accept "walk ins". Do yourself a favor and confirm your appointment (BEFORE YOUR TRIP) for the day after you arrive so that your doctor can evaluate your pregnancy after your long trip. You are putting your health is unnecessary risk by not having an appointment upon arrival. Call another doctor and another until you get an appointment. Should you arrive with no appointment and you begin labour or have an emergency before you a doctor sees you, you will be taken to the hospital and your bill will be VERY different from the prices mentioned in this forum because (1) you do not have a doctor (2) you probably dont have a hospital either since each doctor has privileges at specific hospitals and if you dont have a doctor, it means you also dont know where your child will be born. If a hospital package is not paid before you have your baby and are admitted by emergency it is VERY unlikely that you will get the price package for self paying patients. [/quote] |

I think it's better to buy seats. My nephew was given issues on his return leg in March because they said he looks like a 2yr old, they had to show them his birth certificate. Miracletwinee: |

Lol @ chop $500 food for breakfast If your hotel accomodation is bread and breakfast, it would say so, otherwise you should get meal ticket. I flew them to China in 2014, i think 7 or 8 hour layover; we were given meal tickets, one covered dinner and the other breakfast although they dint give hotel accommodation , we were denied just because of this green pali, Nigerians were usually refused then. 9308]Who has used to Qatar and slept over in Doha? Can you go eat at a buffet in the morning? There's is a layover of 8hrs 30 minutes and they only give meal ticket if layover is over 11 hours. They gave hotel accommodation via email sent to me but I wanted to know since we there sleeping over and waking up in d morning can I go for free breakfast? Getting to Doha 11.30pm and departing 8.15am for Baltimore. Anyone used Qatar airways before? Please her make person no go shop 500$ food for breakfast [/quote] |

I think all is on track, the B1/B2 covers both categories, there is no separate B2 visa, I did same and was issued B1/B2 , it is just good for clarification that you declared you are are going to birth. Thankful11011: |

To God be ALL the Glory...My baby arrived 4th June.I used St Peters in NJ, good hospital I must say. VD Bill was 7754, (baby-2136, mom 5618), docs fees was 3000. Hospital accepts cash, cheque or card, no wire transfers. She had a bit of jaundice on the high side, so was readmitted, waiting for the bill for that, Lord have mercy! Just one bilirubin test cost me $180 and we had about 5 or more while on admission. 15 Likes |

Bisoye82: My exact thoughts, please let her go on one trip before birth to avoid stories that touch...if she ends up being turned back, the flight ticket would end up as a waste so why not invest in this one trip to avoid issues later.She could even use the opportunity to visit/call hospitals and OB/GYN |
