Okaaaay! !! Finally got me to the last page. I asked some questions last week and was advised to read through the whole thread. Well, finally did. Very good advise though. Congratulations to all those that testified about successful visa interviews and successful POE exploits especially through the dreaded Houston POE. Congratulations to all the new mums and dads. For all the hopefuls, may God crown all our plans and efforts with success IJN. Well, I got my visa in July but it was issued late due to their own fault and I couldn't attend the convention I was going for. Though about a few months gone then, I didn't declare even though I had not conceived the idea to birth in the states. My intention then, was just to attend the convention and come back. I was also not asked if I was preggie. Now that I decided to birth in the states many friends have advised I camouflage the bump and never to declare my intentions or else j will be turned back. Thank God for this forum that preaches nothing but honesty. I got the NIV email address from here and I have written them of my change of intent explaining why I couldn't travel for the convention as planned. I got the generic reply yesterday and am happy. Am due to fly through NY over the weekend. My problem now is that i was in a hurry to make plans and had already concluded arrangements with Doctores parati before I got to the part on this thread where people started reporting of the problems encountered with their letter. Through the information I got here I made sure they included a doctor's name and also signed the letter of medical responsibility though it was signed by Rodolfo. Am still on them to get me another letter personally signed by the doctor Martell. They replied last Saturday and said I would get it before end of the week. I am due to travel by weekend as earlier said and I just feel like making other arrangements in case they don't deliver. A CBP officer may not have the patience to read the letter and may become hostile once they see the Doctores letter head. Please I need info on any doctor that can reply me urgently and get me the documents I need for POE before Friday. I contacted Doc Hugh but don't have time on my hands to submit all the reports and tests they are asking for. Also contacted dr. Rizk but he insists on 1k initial payment. Am sorry for the long post. Just needed to explain myself well so my intentions are not misunderstood. Ave been restricted from sending PMs probably becos am new and have not really contributed to the thread so it's easy to think I am here for something else. Pls anyone with required info can PM me.
1. Doctors that can respond to me before Friday without any requirements
2. Must I pay for accommodation or is booking enough to present at POE?
Quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi fehinebony,when's the new price gonna take effect cos m in Montgomery already but my first appointment with the Dr is first week in January and so ve nt been to the hospital. How did u get to know about the price review though? Urgent reply pls

My dear, the new price took effect since Dec 15th,was shocked when I spoke to the accountant yesterday.. If it's your first visit to the hospital, you ll have to pay the new price. They felt cos of the numerous calls, they were the best in town, so the price increase was an option for them,little do they know that they just lost more prospective patients. Since you are there already, you can visist them and hear what they have to say, the only alternative you have in Montgomery is Baptist east and south, which is $2700 per night and $2000 for baby's fee. Heard there is a cheaper hospital in Birmingham, it's about 2hrs away from Montgomery.

@ SAkale

Must it be Del sol medical centre or doctoresparati letter? Even after they have told you that the embassy people MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT accept their letter. I had told you on an earlier post, and i will tell you again . Get in touch with another doctor e.g. Dr Fagbohun or some other doctor that accepts email appointment booking,send them an email that you want to come to the us to give birth,they will reply you with an email telling you that they are willing to accept you and they will also attach the breakdown of their bills on the email, all this is free o,you no go pay any kobo.,most doctors will not charge you for this.You can use this as burden of proof for your visa application and at POE. Once you enter America ,you can then go the El paso route or even decide to have your baby in Alaska,na u sabi,no body will stress you on that,the koko is to enter yakee 1st. I hope i have answered your question.
I can give you like two doctors in Texas that would respond to your email , send me a pm if you need it or search this thread,i know ppl have had this same problem,even me too had the same issue,that is why i can advice you properlly.


Babatwi please I need your help here. Doctors that can respond to my mail and give me the detailed required documents before Friday. Any other good samaritan can also PM me please. Thank you.

@ Austine2020
@ anonymous
Yes someone mentioned it on this forum that her state requires the consent form to be notarised at the us embassy ,while some other states accept notarised forms from any notary public. So find out what is acceptable in the state you are going to.
Pls mamas that have gotten their babies us passport should advice us if the consent form must be notarised by a notary public in the us embassy before it can be used or not
@ anonymous, i beg you o,i no share anything o,i thought i was helping people that needed help o,

For mums that used Houston please educate us on where exactly to notarise the consent letter. Must it be at the embassy or can we use any notary public. Thank you and God bless you all for all your valuable information

Depending on where the person is going, KLM has a promo to houston, you can also check united and emirates. Those are the most affordable i've come across so far.

Kairi,

The letter of intent was sent to the embassy because we got our visas for vacation purpose, in fact i wasn't pregnant at the time even though the VO asked me.
If you appeared at the embassy, and you declared that one of your reasons for seeking the visa was for childbirth, I don't think it is necessary for you to write any letter of intent.

Thanks Omodaraju, we just used dropbox for visa renewal, so there was no interview and I actually got pregnant a month or so after the application. We have not travelled on the visa at all, do you think I need to write still? Thanks. Please I don't know how to PM on this site yet so will catch up soon i hope, that is why i am replying so late.

Hello everyone. How are we all doing? Thank God for the successful POE stories and safe deliveries.

I've been getting alot of PMs lately from mamas here and I'm sorry I've not replied. I honestly can't keep up with most of them, atleast not now. My boy is a handful and I don't have much help.

Please, it will be nice if you can post your questions here. I'm very sure you will get a swift response from lovely people on here.

Hello Everyone,

Please can anyone give me some information about hospitals and doctors in Atlanta? Hospitals and/or doctors you may have used; how the bills come and general experience. Also, what is it like coming in through Atlanta airport? I plan to fly BA - do they also do secondary inspection etc?

Thanks,

Ok Kairi,

You could still write to inform them that you will access self-pay health services/ childbirth during your trip. that this notification is for them to update your details accordingly. I suppose you have the B1/B2 visa though.

Our gurus can assist with further information in this regards.
