25Calibre: You are still talking trash? My points are clear cut, maybe you have problems comprehending them.

Obama is not donald trump's boss, stop the silly comparisons.

What exactly do you mean by talking trash? If your boss came into your office to give you a reprimand, you'd have the right to walk him out? Are you for real? Just shut the fu*k up please, this statement reflects your maturity.

You telling me of rights, what exactly do you know about rights? ( Dont worry, maybe someday, il lecture you on rights, western rights ) You are an embarrassment to Nigerian women, you are the type who constitute a nuisance because you think you are allowed to, you must be from a poor background.

If you were smart enough, you would have already figured out from my last posts that you weren't talking to someone who's in Nigeria but someone who more exposed & knows more than you do.

Shut it up woman, your lies have short legs, they don't travel far..
LMAO. . . :d. wink ;d

Keep up the good job. . . The more you make sense & nail the lies, the more they 'struggle' with lame. epistles come-backs hence the needless epistles. . .

Need further confirmation, check the number of likes you've had on your posts since the 'lies' started. . .cool

surety: Someone also talked about west houston medical centre. Call and find out their charges.
uchetobi: pele dear, that is too expensive for the level of service you received and the comfort you gave up! imagine a new mom spending the night in the lobby! pele dear

I think its worth it self to consider that Elpaso even with hotel charge it wont be up to that

I am going to Houston sha, cuz I have family there. a friend that gave birth in Methodist Hospital Texas said she spent about 6k dolls for everything, including epidural, baby, everything! it's worth checking out for those going to Houston
@Uchetobi. . . .You're right about the Methodist hospital cos I know that the one in houston (there's another one in Sugar Land) charges about $6k approx for everything but up till delivery.The costs of the pediatrician, subsequent appointment visits for the baby, immunization & other tests are excluded from this cost. Please plan well and take enough money oh....lol! A friend of mine had her baby there and it was an overall pleasant experience for her as well.

I'll suggest that for people who don't have friends or family to stay with and are on a tight budget, it might be better to use arrangments like El paso or Phoenix as they are set-up to cater to 'out-of-towners' and overall it will probably be cheaper for you. The cost of renting apartments or hotel for like 2/2.5 months is a lot of money. . . .could be as high as $2-$3k excluding additional furnishing you might require.

No wahala. I will say follow the 'VisaOfficer' on that Q & A thread bumper to bumpergrin I know he has told you to e-mail them but if you don't hear from the consulate by say Friday, drop a message on that thread again and ask bug him for what other options are available to you. I also know they have a facility where you can chat with their customer care agents (i thinkhuh). Go to their website and check that option and use it as well.

You have to find a way of getting through to them. Worst case, go to the embassy and try to see if there's an opportunity to register your complaint as well....you never know.

**I know it's late now, but with the benefit of hindsight, maybe you should not have included your husband yet till you got your visa since at the time of application you were single, so as not to jeopardise your chances. It's because of the rapid increase in sham marriages for immigration purposes that caused all these complications for you** A couple of people i know had to do this by getting theirs first, before filing an application for their spouses after settling in the US**

hardeymijuh: @Nikkygal,

please also tell us how much everything costs (Doctor, hospital, fees etc)....A friend is interested in using the hospital too, she has family in Houston close to the hospital
@Hardeymijuh . . . I already stated it in one of my earlier posts that everything costed me about $6.5k. My doctor fee was about $2500 (they accepted my medical test results from Naija) but i had to do some few additional tests that they dont do in Nigeria and that costed me an additional $300 approx. . . .so approx $2800. WHMC hospital fees was $2200 for natural delivery and additional $1200k for epidural (epidural is optional). The fees for CS was about $3000 then and don't forget these costs are just till delivery and exclude the costs for the paediatrician and other tests to be carried out on the baby post-delivery. You can confirm the hospital fees from WHMC website as well. . .

I will avoid being categorical on my total bills because everyone's case is different and so if other medical emergencies or complications spring up, your bill will sky-rocket so nothing is actually cast in stone.

Hope this helps.....

Micah2013: Hello nikkygal, pls can you explain how I can register at West Houston Medical Centre? I intend to give birth to my baby there. My family lives about 2mins away from the hospital. If its the WHMC on Richmond Avenue you are talking about. Have been checking there website but I really can't find anything helpful. How like to know if I need 2 find a Dr first or d hospital has a complete package for Mother and Child. Thanks
@Micah . . . .West Houston is on Richmond Avenue. If you want to use the hospital, you need to first get a physician (gynae) that is attached to the hospital and register with him before you can now go ahead and enroll with the hspital as well. You can get a doctor through the WHMC website, under the 'Find a Physician Tab' . . . . Just put in your zip code and obstetrics as a speciality and it will bring out a list of the gynae doctors in that area that you can use. The good thing with WHMC is that a good number of the doctors have their practice on the other side of the hospital building which makes accessing both the doctor and hospital very convenient during appointments.

I just did a quick search on the WHMC website for you now and this is what i found below:

I will say narrow your search down to doctors that have their practice on Richmond Avenue because of its proximity to the hospital for ease of registration and appointments. Just contact the doctors via e-mail, state your circumstances and describe yourself as a 'self-paying patient (cash)'. . . . they'll give you their terms and you'll choose one eventually and secure an appointment on your arrival.


***Please i've said it before on this thread, let me reiterate 'Google is your friend'. Please let's take time to search out information. This thread serves a platform to exchange information but overall our individual circumstances differ so it's important we take time out to use the internet and search out more detailed information to suit your need. This will usually unearth lots of hidden stuff that others that went before you might not know.***

I'll advise to send them an e-mail EVERY DAY from today with your case number & details & headline it URGENT!!! Then give aa background to your case....MAke sure you mail them daily and include the Sept timeline there so that they can treat urgently!

Also go on the US embassy website in Nigeria & get their phone numbers and start calling those numbers like crazy. Put them on permanent speed dial.....becos you have only until sept 30 to collect your visa after which you've lost your chance!

HealthRe: Are There Any Speech Therapists In Portharcourt?-my Son Needs One. by nikkygal(f): 8:41am On Sep 09, 2013
daisyjo: @K4KENNY,over time i have come to respect a mother's power or intuition.When a mum thinks there is something about her child,usually,there is.I would advice that you get him assessed and right away start addressing the issues you are identifying.Aggression and self injurious behaviors such as head banging are major red flags.I have attached an assessment form here which would give you an idea but PLEASE don't be quick to label your child as several tools will be used to determine if he is on the spectrum or not.Also,accurate diagnosis cant be made until he is 3 years old but you need not wait.Clean out his diet,help him eat healthy,socialize with his peers. Although quite difficult be sure to let him know that aggressive behaviors and tantrums are unacceptable behaviors.
You can email me on gedaisy2000@yahoo.com
@Tayo576. . .I think the advice from daisy up there to Kenny also applies to you. Please trust your intuition and try looking for a speech therapist for your son. You can try mailing daisy (her e-mail is up there) on ideas how you can help stimiulate his interest in talking and also how you an overcome these speech development delays. I know it won't be automatic, but gradually you'll see a remarkable improvement. As for his delayed walking, try visiting other paediatricians for a 2nd/3rd opinion.

A mother's intuition is hardly wrong. . . .you know your son and youunderstand him better than any one else. Kindly start seeking help quickly as it's always better to tackle these delays at an early stage than when they are much older.

Wishing you the very best . . . . .Good luck!

Mrs Bee: Jesus Christ who said that? One of the reason why u going to America is to ensure you have the best health care delivery, so why would a country who has got the best care system not be good with circumcisions, that's a fallacy my dear. What's your POE as I didn't have any issues, them even giving me preferential treatment of helping with my luggage etc, despite d fact I tried hard to conceal my pregnancy under my dress top I still they show, first the way u walk gives you away, your swollen face and feet after d long ass flight too gives you away. There s notin to hide except if you aren't due soon. Cost I flew in at 35 weeks and my belly is a small one but still pple noticed. Just be real and say the truth. I was stamped 7months sept- march. Some guy walked up to me was asking questions if I was carrying gala, garri, food substances I said nope that I ain't craving for any of those and he let me go without searching.
@Mrs Bee good to know you landed safe & sound. . . smiley I have a colleague that also had her baby in the US & he was circumcised but it wasn't done properly and they had to come and re-do it in Nigeria. She was also told the same thing about circumciosion not being properly done over there. A lot of people later recommended that the Jewish people are the best at it and next time she should get them to do the circumcision.

@Nenih try using google. . . . Most times people always wait to get direct info. from others which is okay however, you could get even better deals just by doing some extra research yourself. Look for hospitals in the dallas/arlington area and try contacting them via phone calls or e-mails. . .you'll probably get some good info and deals. A friend of mine got a hospital like that around arlington but she's not aaround now, i'll have gotten the infor from her for you. Wishing you the very best!!!

Yes i had my baby in houston. . . I used West Houston Medical centre! Same hospital walmart talked about on this thread earlier. There are other hospitals you could use in that axis though. . .like Oakbend hospital which is around Richmond, Methodist women's hospital etc and all these still charge within the $5k-6.5k range all inclusive up till delivery (doctor+hospital) as i know people who have had their babies there. Please take note that the costs for the paediatrician and other tests for the baby post-delivery are not included in this estimate.

@Uchetobi . . Am not sure someone with a 3-month validity visa qualifies for the drop-box system. I stand to be corrected though but to the best of my knowledge, you're only qualified for dropbox if you're renewing a full 2-yr validity visa. Otherwise, you're back to one-on-one interviews.

surety: Hello all, dis trend has been so educative,I have learnt a lot, my own situation is dat I applied for the visa in july and the consular issued me a 3months visa,she asked if I was pregnant and I said no of which I lied,because I didn't get all d enlightenment I have now...I had so much fears as to what to expect at POE but God made it all simple,I was given 6months by CBP...my cousin applied for the 'wic' benefit for me,which started immediately I got in aug. And I already applied for chips which am expecting their response...am in houston but all the info I got scares me a lot about renewal of the visa wen next I want to apply...
Now can anyone tell me if it'l come on their system at the embassy that I had a baby here in america automatically or will they only find out if I fill it in the application form that am travelling wit my american citizen baby? Secondly is dat since my cousin told me abt the chip benefit for unborn child,the only funds I have wit me is abt 2500, is there any other alternative apart from hosp birthing,so dat I can turn down the chip? And has anyone who lied abt being pregnant ever been lucky to have her visa renewed? I hope dis is attended to as soon as possible... Thanks
@Surety...$2500 is too small to cover all your birthing/ medical expenses in the US for the newborn. . . . In addition, you need to be sure of whatever program your cousin is applying for you (ie WIC program or chips whatever) because am not sure you're entitled to anything since you're neither a US legal resident nor citizen. This could work against you subsequently when you're applying for a visa renewal because they will find out eventually.On your next visa renewal, they'll ask you for details about your kids in the visa form (DOB,place of birth etc), which you're expected to fill and that is what might probably give you away.

The good thing is that you're in houston and it is fairly cheaper for birthing than a whole lot of other places. . . . You should have taken at least $5-6k along. Anyway, i wish you the very best and pray it all works out well for you eventually.

syahboy: Hello Nairalanders, I recently took the Gre and today I received the official Score Report Quant-165, Verbal-156 Total 321 and AWA-5.0(Not stellar but laudable).

I started practising for the test since march and to be honest the first powerprep attempt I scored a meagre 290. However, I requested for materials on this forum and some materials were sent to my mail. I found the barrons basic as it covered some aspects of the quant section but not up to actual test standard.

A friend of mine recommended the Nova Gre Bible which I found very efficient as it teaches all the tricks and formulas needed to ace the Quant section, infact with this book you can get a perfect score on the Quant.

For the verbal I learnt 299 common Gre words and also practised with the free verbal flashcards from magoosh gre, although on test day the words were actually reasonable than the ones on the practise test.

I did a lot or Reading comprehension questions on both Barrons and http://codecoax.com/grerc/ as this was an area I struggled with. For the AWA I studied essays from http://gre5dot5./ and it helped me a lot as two of the essays on my test were directly from this site. I also recommend downloading the ebook Gre-AWA model essays.

Powerprep is a must as it helps you get the test experience, also your score on the powerprep will likely be your actual score on test day plus or minus 10 points. In summary practise, practise, practise and you'll do great. Having great scores is not esoteric, just be passionate and zealous and you'll make it. On test day I sent my scores to TAMU, ASU, UIUC and UTD. Currently doing my final semester and will be applying for Spring 2015 semester(EE VLSI) plus my Toefl is on tuesday, wish me luck guys

Hmmnn. . . interesting discourse here! Been following this thread for a while and the CBP part of the gist really got my attention. . smiley

Now let me contribute based on my experience. I am also a frequent traveller to the US (at least for the past 8yrs) & I had my baby there as well early this year. On my 1st trip to the US, I was issued a 3-month visa with an annotation stating I needed just 3-weeks for a vacation. At the POE, I was given a 1-month stay! . . . which was fine by me anyway, since I was just visiting. . . . .

Now the catch is that having a 3-month visa already kind of 'connotes' a brief stay & so normally, It might not necessarily grant you a 6-month stay pn your I-94 card. I fully agree with dancewith here as I am privy to a lot of preggy women that overstayed their I-94 period and are having issues renewing their visas now.

Infact, a friend's wife was given 2-weeks at the POE. . . Lol! Becos she said she came for a vacation, yet they could see she was heavily preggers. Well, she still waited to have her baby sha & is trying to sort out her wahala now. Others I know were even removed entirely at the POE just for not being honest with their intentions. Anyway, if you have issues with a short stay on your I-94, I suggest you either return to Naija within the specified period or use an immigration lawyer to extend it. I know pple who have used this route as well.

@Bettymafy, you said that the lady wasn't asked directly if she was going to have her baby or if was preggers. . . Well, the truth is that she should have given the info. upfront! I was also just asked by the CO if I was going to seek any medical aid while in the US & I told him NO but I am pregnant, I plan to have my baby there & have made the necessary arrangements. He didn't even ask to see my papers sef, he just smiled, thanked me for my honesty & gave me my visa. . . . Shikena!

Am mobile. . . .I don tire to type! Hope this helps someone sha. . . .

bettymafy: Peace, u are such a great woman! Thanks alot for this info. The hotel price is very reasonable. Didn't know one could get something within that range. I hope their services wasn't bad.

Were u buying food from the hotel or eating out? Did u hire a nanny for after-birth care? Does that total cost include the flight fare? If no, please, how much was the flight fare for a return ticket and which airline? Was it a direct flight from Nigeria to Texas?

I'm so sorry for questions. I just want to be equiped with enough info and u seem to be the only one giving out specifics. Thank u again.
Betty sorry about not getting adequate responses but you need to understand that not everyone went through the doctoresparati route. I stayed with Family when i got to the US (in Texas) and so am not familiar with accommodation or lodging costs. My hospital costs totalled about $7500k (including epdural of $1,200) in all and this included costs for the baby (pediatrician's visits)as well as the requisite tests after delivery. The hospital allowed me to bring my test results from Nigeria . . . .so that saved me A LOT of money. I just did about 2-3 additional lab tests there that they do not usually conduct in Naija before delivery and this costed me about $275 bucks.

Bottom line is that, it's the city you'll have your baby that will determine the costs of delivery and the overall cost of your trip. Air fare should be about 300-350k max. . . . .I travelled with Air france and it was during the peak period, so my ticket was almost 300k. Since i was staying with family, i got support with the baby and i didn't need to get a nanny or any additional help.

Hope this helps. . . .All the best!

sweetg: Sorry about the typo. She lied and dey discovered she was pregnant. No mater how u hide the pregnacy. If u scale tru nw, wen u want to renew u will have he problem. I know ppl with such problem. It is Legal to have ur child in d state. Just convince them you will pay simple. Dey deny ppl once dey suspect u won't pay or ur job doesn't pay much. Am talking from experience.
GBAM!!!

@Ring of God, i advise you to speak the truth and tell the consular your intention of having your baby in the US . . . I also did same and it worked out well for me as well. I told him i was pregnant at the interview, even though he didnt know. . . .he just smiled & commended me that i was the 1st person he's interviewed that has been so honest and strightforward. Well, i also told him that the worst that could happen was that he would deny me a visa and i would prefer that, than to get a visa on the pretext that am not pregnant then get turned back at the port of entry in the US based on falsified information. I also know a couple of people that this has happened too. . . sad

The consular officer told me that he would have given me the visa since i had fulfilled all the requirements and i was a frequent traveller to the US. . .BUT he would have refused me at my NEXT visa renewal appointment. . >:

PropertiesWould You Invest In A Residential Property Surrounded By Churches? by nikkygal(op): 2:37pm On May 22, 2013
Hello Nlers.

My husband and I are actually on the look out to buy a good property on the Mainland (Lagos) and it's honestly been very frustrating especially as it seems land on the Mainland is practically getting extinct (at least in the areas within our budget).

Now the issue is we have seen a fairly okay property that's within our budget but is sandwiched between 4 churches within a 100m radius. . . . shocked Please don't get me wrong, am a christian too!!! But there's no denying that with the proliferation of churches (mosques) in Nigeria today, they are gradually constituting a nuisance in quite a lot of neighbourhoods. . . especially the residential areas.

We intend living in the property if we buy it and there's a church next door, another two churches in the building directly opposite the property and another one like 100m down the street. . . . .AH! Am already thinking of all the loudspeaker wahala, endless weekly vigils, parking issues etc and am discouraged.

So am thinking, if you were in my shoes,would you go for it?


P.S.- Please this was not posted to slight either the christians or muslims!!! Kindly read/respond to this post from a commercial or investor's point of view only. Thank you!
