Chai!! I don't know what I did o. But after posting my poe story I was banned for two days nd my post deleted
.
I met with Dr Fagbohun today in his sugarland clinic. Very nice man.

When you are banned have a look at your profile to know who banned you.

If antispambot bans you then report it and you will be unbanned.

Hello all! I noticed that people don't really talk much about getting apartment on Craiglist. I was going through the site some days ago and saw some cheap apartments that can be shared between two/ three people thereby saving a lot of money.

Pleases is there any disadvantage of going through this route instead of the usuall intown suites et al.

Haaa craiglist ke, you are at the risk of losing your money because most of the list posted there are not real and sharing a room with a serial killer. Who goes to craiglist this days . Be careful. No one in America will ever advise you to get an apartment on craiglist. The only problem you have getting apartment is because you are not a residence. You don't have a ssn and credit history, therefore they are scared to lease an apartment to you, the only option is when they take 3 times the money. Life doesn't have a duplicate, Craiglist is dangerous.

Mum triplet, am heading to Houston(oakbend med) in may

I'm tilting towards Elpaso than Oakend and the rest because I don't want any shock from the bill at the end of my stay. If I were having just one baby, I wouldn't mind any of the other hospitals.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Newmum0615: 5:21pm On Jan 17, 2015
Biko my people. Anyone with info on affordable accommodation close to Dr. Z. I am using Oakbend Med Centre in Richmond and Dr. Z 's office where patients see him is also in Richmond. Please help a sister out. That is the only snag in my whole arrangements to go to Oakbend.

Craigslist is no go area, one time it was known to be associated with serial killers, avoid it at all cost no matter how cheap. Maybe Google stories about it...

I'm also going to El paso cos I'm having twins and they have already given me my bill. My problem is how to connect elpaso without first stopping at Houston cos of the horrible stories. Any ideas anyone?

@segbas: Yes you can. Send a mail to Cynthia Flores cflores2@obmc.org and request for a breakdown of the hospital OB package list. Remember to write that you have already had discussions with Dr. Fagbohun. Cos each doc has a price he has agreed with the hospital.

Its better if you can get a letter from oakbend med centre,but that said,some american hospitals will not correspond via email for appointments booking,dont know if oakbend does,if they dont,then you are good with Dr Fagbohuns email,since it has an attachment with a compprehensive breakdown of both doctor and hospital fee. Good luck.
Pls is this Email address of Oakbend medical center?

The only reason you will have Houston as POE while connecting to ELP is if you are flying delta.British airways and Emirates(just the two I'm sure of) have POE as Dallas.

Praise the Lord! Everyone help me shout Halleluyah!!!
I got into America safely on the 13th of January. Have been resting because my body has been requesting for it.
The journey from Lagos to London via BA wasn't bad. Made a friend on board aka. "Sayoberry". The journey went well. The food was terrible but we thank God.
The second leg of the journey was great London to New York via BA.
Now the POE story.
I made use of the wheelchair service from London, when I got to New York I was contemplating if I should still use the service because I didn't know how it would interprete in the mind of the CBP. Well thank God I listened to my mom and I used it. There was a long queue but I was taken to the next available immigration officer and the following was asked:
Me: Good morning
CBP: Good morning, what is your purpose in Amercia
Me: To have my babies
CBP: To have your babies?
Me: Yes, to have my babies.
CBP: Is this your first time in America
Me: Yes it is, but my mom have been here alot of times.
CBP: (Tells me mom to finger print) and next I should finger print.
CBP: Do you intend to birth in New York?
Me: No, I intend birthing in Houston but i'm still heading to Indianapolis first.
CBP: Oh ok! How much do you have with you
Me: My mom answered 3000 dollars but she has her Mastercard
CBP: You have 30,000 dollars with you (his eyes was about to pop out lol)
Me: I just laughed out loud, No ooo, 3000 dollars and I have the rest in my Mastercard. I couldn't convert so much Naira to Dollars because of the eexchange rate in Nigeria at the moment.
CBP: He just nods and ask if we have food items etc.
Me: No we don't.
CBP: He stamps both of us in for 6 months and wished us a wonderful stay in America.

I was then wheeled to connect my flight to indianiapolis.
I just want to thank everyone for their great input and information on this forum. May God bless you all and all the mothers expecting, may our joy never diminish in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

Virtuousdiva:


Out of curiousity,did you travel after getting the visa for holiday or you just want to change travel plans after telling them you are going on holiday.If it's the latter,I think its a case of misusing the change of intent stuff..Just saying.

We were meant to all travel for holiday but unfortunately we didn't get good price for tickets for xmas, hence the change of mind. I don't think that would be a misuse, right?
