Mummytt:
Good afternoon everyone, please I need contact of doctor and hospital in Atlanta. Kindly help me with it . Thank you.

Hello, I used Dr street in unified premier women’s care. There are other Doctors in this practice as well so you can choose. Dr Street is usually heavily booked. For the hospital, I used wellstar kennestone in marietta. The experience was very good with both obgyn and Hospital. I chose these cos it was close to where I was staying. I know there’s also Emory hospital.

Somandla:

No I didn’t but I had the intention of telling him if he asked . The VO didn’t use upto 3minute with US .

All these Can i send you a private chat? isnt it better to ask the question here so other experienced people can as well help?

if everyone was doing PM, would we have a robust thread to refer to

You axtually told the VO that you were going to give birth and they granted you visa just like that?

based on everything we have read and experienced. that is highly doubtful.

I contacted Methodist Medical centre area(because that’s close to where I’ll be staying) , my friend helped, they quoted about $22k for CS cash pay and they said this is after discount. However there are other branches of Methodist and their prices vary , I’ve decided on memorial hermann for now and when I land and waka the area i May find something else.

On the day of my interview the pregnant woman I sighted was denied alongside her husband (I heard the v.o ask her why USA and if she researched other countries, she answered no) , the other is a very big person stature Wise and wore big ankara gown so it wasn’t noticeable she was granted her renewal.

Hi for everyone asking,

I did declare that I was going to give birth.

It was not the easiest of conversations with the VO.

To summarize, he asked for the purpose of the trip, what I do, how much I & my husband earn, what countries we have traveled to before, why we chose the US to give birth, what other countries we considered for the birth etc.

I had my dr’s recommendation letter on the need to seek better medical care due to complications in previous pregnancies. I had to explain in detail what the medical conditions are.

This would be my first time in the US. It would be my first birth in the US. My other two kids were born here.

A lot of prayer was done. I believe so much in the power of prayer. I had to disclose my purpose of the trip. I’m heavy and physically very pregnant.

I watched some other pregnant women get denied and I already became tensed.

I had to prove to the VO my purpose of the trip, the other countries I considered to give birth before considering the US

All in all, God came through. He will come through again at the POE. Amen

All the best to everyone.

Hello,

What airline did you use please? And was it direct to JFK?

Thanks

Lochinny:
Hi guys! Wanted to give my POE experience coz I’ve learnt a lot here and I believe mine would help someone. Sometime in March I told you guys about having a visa that’ll expire in May and that I was thinking of using it to give birth. I was encouraged most especially by @debbieeeeee
and @pointednose to go ahead.. and I actually did.

So here’s my experience:
I traveled with my Child which I gave birth to with the same visa 2 years ago. It wasn’t an easy journey. Went with Qatar airways. (One of the best airline I must say, just that the journey was quite long)
My POE was JFK which I used the previous time. When I got there, I was directed to join the citizens line because of my child. While on the line, a lady saw me and asked me to come forward (obviously a helper from God plus she saw I was pregnant and carrying a child) mind you, I didn’t try to cover it my pregnancy. did same 2 years ago infact I was almost due when I traveled the last time.
So back to my story, I met the POE officer who asked for my passport, he collected my child’s own and asked what I’m here for, I told him to have my 2nd baby. He looked at the computer for a while without saying a word to me, then stamped my child’s passport. Then he collected mine and asked where I was going to stay and asked for how long. I told him the town I was staying and I’m looking at 3months Or more. He now asked if I came with any food stuffs and I told him just spices, he now asked to see my face and I removed my face mask. He then stamped my passport 6 months and said have a nice stay.

From this, I can tell you two things
1) prayer is the key. I and my husband prayed seriously for a smooth Poe. Even told my pastor

2) Be truthful. Just say the truth to them. I learnt it here that being honest pays so when I traveled to have my first child, I told them exactly the same thing, (then I was obviously pregnant so I couldn’t even dare lying) and it was an easy Poe and I used the same JFK.
After hearing people say that 2nd time is always tougher, I got scared and people advised me to cover up since my pregnancy isn’t that obvious but I still couldn’t see myself doing it. I just said what will be will be. I made sure I was with every single receipt from the first one and a letter from the hospital showing I didn’t collect any Medicaid from them. Still they didn’t ask of anything..

These people appreciate honesty and I think if we keep being honest, they’ll start seeing Nigerians in a good way.

Thanks @Debbieeeeee and @PointedNose for the encouragement.

Hello Everyone,

I’m considering switching from Houston to Maryland.

I had booked an appointment with a Dr at Center for Women’s health and planned to use Oakbend, but after reading through and speaking with people, I’m making a switch. I’m still considering other options in Houston- Methodist sugarland etc.

But I’m also open to Maryland especially because I have family there.

Does anyone have details on:

UM Baltimore Washington Medical Centre
Anne Arundel Medical Centre

Does anyone also have details on Doctor’s that are affiliated with either of the above hospitals?

Also regarding flights, for those arriving at JFK which airlines are you using? Delta is mostly passing through Atlanta. The one i saw for JFK, has a layover stop at London and I would require a transit visa to pass through London.

Please share options.

Thanks!

Hello,

Trust you are well.

Which of the below hospitals are you using now? And do you have the cost implications for University of Maryland Hospital?

Also, how many hrs was your Qatar flight to Washington?

Thanks

purpleribbon:



Thank you very much. These are my hospital options for now
1)Holy Cross hospital (Dr. Moore OBGYN)
2) university of Maryland hospital
3) medstar

I’ve started visiting these places as my previous medical records were collected. I need to 5-7 days to know whether my case would be accepted.

I currently do not know the total cost implications.

I picked up on the 4th business day.

Message that passport was ready came through at the end of 3rd business day.

So interview on Thursday, pickup the next tuesday

Beverlyhills:

Where are you checking for flights?

There is a direct flight to JFK from lagos through delta airline and its 10 hours non-stop.

Yes, there are some with one stop layover in Atlanta (the much I know) but there is also a direct non-stop to JFK. You could also call them.
