Hi everyone!

Congratulations to the new moms.

Forgive me if this is an 'off point' post. I've read on this thread that there is an American embassy VO that runs some sort of question and answer thread on Nairaland. Please can anyone post the link urgently. I can't seem to get an interview date for my son, it keeps saying no date available. Every one else in the family has a visa.

urgent please!

Hi mums. Am new here but have tried to read a few posts in this thread. I started making my plans rather late to birth my third baby in the US cos It was difficult getting my leave approved. Am due by early February and am travelling on the 4th of January. My POE is JFK but am heading towards Texas. I really don't have time on my hands so I need all the advice I can get. Unfortunately I can't go through the entire thread cos of my very tight and busy schedule at work and I need to take decisions fast so I can tidy up my documentation. I don't have family in Texas but friends have told me they have very affordable hospitals. Please friends I need your candid advise on which good hospital I can use between the range of 5k to 6k. From what I can see peeps on this thread are like family so I am also looking out for company from mums here. This would influence my choice of destination. Thanks

Hi favouredB,

The best advise I can give you is to thoroughly go through the thread and search for any information that has to do with Houston/Texas. That way will fully understand the process (if you don't already). This thread has a wealth of information you cannot even begin to imagine. At least you have narrowed your options to Texas so it will not take a lot of time as you can disregard info that is is not applicable to you.

Anyone can reel off hospitals but at the end of the day the decision is yours and it has to be a fully informed decision.

Anyway, you can try any of these hospitals - i believe they are in the 2k5 to 3k range for vaginal birth.

West Houston Memorial Hospital in Houston, Texas
Oakbend Medical Centre in Richmond, Texas,
Methodist Houston Hospital in Houston, Texas
Methodist Houston Sugarland, in Sugar Land, Texas

On the websites you will find Drs that are affiliated to each hospitals, typical dr fees is between 2k to 3k as well.

All of this excludes lab work, pediatrician fee, sometimes ultrasound, epidural etc. Good luck!

Was @ Montgomery alabama 2wks ago, visited Jackson hospital, and took a tour round the mother and child section, the delivery room is very nice, heard the delivery suite is larger and finer than that of baptist east &south.the nursery is also nice as well, I dint get to visit baptist, cos I settled for Jackson as my inlaw had 2 of her kids there and she told she preferred jackson to any other hospital in Montgomery, she lives in Montgomery and she is a nurse, so I went with what she recommended.

Hi everybody. I have been a silent follower of this thread for a while now and must say I have benefited immensely as a result. This thread should be officially labeled the “Holy Grail” for all US bound expecting parents. The amount of information is simply mind boggling.

It will be sinful for me to ask my question without first saluting all the active members of this forum who have contributed to this thread either by sharing their personal experiences (VO, POE, airline, hospital etc), offered advice and guidance to the confused (like yours truly), shared contacts details of critical resources (doctors, hospitals) etc. I doff my hat to you all!!

That said, I need you advice on a dicey matter. My wife was granted a 2 year B1/B2 visa in April 2013 on the basis that she was accompanying me for a business trip. During her interview, the VO asked if she was pregnant and she replied that she wasn't which was true. We traveled as planned in July last year and spent 3 weeks. She eventually got pregnant in August and is due mid May 2015. She plans to travel for childbirth towards the end of March. Her visa will be expiring on the 14th of April 2015 (about 3 wks after her arrival).

My question is this, should she?
A. Travel using her current visa.
B. Renew her visa before traveling

According to the information on the UStraveldocs website, she should be able to travel with her current visa though it will be expiring shortly afterwards. However, I am a bit nervous about this because I fear a heartless CBP officer might capitalize on this as a basis to refuse her entry.

On the other hand, I am skeptical about renewing her visa before she travels as I do not want to rock the boat. Even though the probability of a denial is low, there is always a possibility it might happen. Some members have experienced this before and shared on this forum

I seriously need to know your opinions/advice on our dilemma. Please forgive my long post. God bless
