@ Bauuh, your stories are kinda disjointed.
1. you were asking for cheap hospitals in NJ because you had a budget of 5kUSD.
2. you were asking if you could bring your baby home with naija passport after collecting BC and apply for passport in your home country
3. Next, you say your wife had baby in NY with insurance, you are not aware and you went ahead to lie to the VO that you sponsored with 10th USD.
4. Then, you are suddenly not in good terms with your wife and your father in law forced you to let her go. And to cap it all, you are already talking about disclaimer, separation..........Not too good.

Now my questions...
1. who bought her flight ticket? you or your father in law?
2. when she was going, did you give her the 5k USD you had earlier budgeted?
3. why did you tell VO that you sponsored with 10k? I have a feeling he had seen it on the system that your wife used insurance. just couldn't deny you because you claim yo want to go see your baby. They respect family ties a lot.
4. The 10k USD you claimed, do you have it? if yes why not send it to your wife to make the payment and if your father in law that insisted that his daughter to have baby in US can help out with the balance, all well and good and if not set up payment plan to suit your income(have heard people on the forum say its possible) after all the Americana baby will bear your name. yeah it might be difficult cos you still need to keep the family running but I bet you, chicken in out of this by denying your wife and baby is not the solution.

my 2 cents ooh.........abeg apologies for long post,

I must admit this forum has been so informational.I have a little situation and need some advise.
I obtained my US visa in Nigeria almost five years ago while I was working there and was a resident.I later moved to Ghana and have been using the visa since.by the way am Ghanaian and hold a Ghana passport.
My question is,do I need to consult the embassy and tell them about my change of travel purpose or just leave it as it is and use the visa for birthing.I sent them a general email without identification just to know their response..
I off course intend to pay all bills but don't want any whahala when I have to renew my visa.
Thanks and I will be awaiting response..
God bless

Shawbabe:


U have been using the visa right? U are fine, u don't need to notify them. I didn't notify the embassy because I have used my current visa several times before I even got married, or even conceived. No issues at POE.
I think u only send letter if u were pregnant at time of visa application and didn't state ur intention then, or if u never used it for the purpose in which u were granted it in the first place. None applies to u, so u are fine.

My wife in New York somehow manage to have delivery using some insurance company in New York USA. My wife was on B2 visa.

After delivery I applied for USA visa and told the reason of seeing my baby. I claimed that I sponsored the delivery of baby by giving 10000 $.
The visa officer gave me only 6 months single entry visa.

He told next time if you are applying for visa you have to prove that you really sponsored.

by having baby through insurance will jeopardize my future visa or is it legal to have baby through insurance.

Amother4life:


Hi,
Your wife did not somehow "manage" to use U.S tax payer insurance for delivery without somebody lying on the relevant forms.
The U.S. government does not offer socialized medical care for foreigners.
The so called "free" healthcare that your wife has enjoyed was arranged for her by an unscrupulous person who knowingly falsified records.
This bill will eventually be paid by U.S tax payers. You have further complicated the whole case by lying to a consular officer under oath during your visa interview to derive immigration benefit which is a material misrepresentation.
The only way to HOPEFULLY remedy this case ( you may still be banned from entering the United States) is to pay off all your bills and keep the receipts .

Hi Thanks for your input.

For passport my consent in written is required. Can I deny that consent so that I am not being part of this malfunctioning.
Later on for Visa can I make my end safe. To be honest it wasn't my idea too to have this type of insurance.

@Dallas Mums, please help with this enquiry.

I used medical center Arlington/omega Obgyn and I was not quarantined but some hospitals ask the patient to be quarantined and some hospitals don't accept foreigners from Africa for now.

How many years is the visa valid for?

zeezahbee:
It is 100% legal to have your baby through insurance because even in USA, everyone has one insurance or the other to foot their emergency bills

A lady here has used insurance to pay off her bills and she didn't have any problem so far.
Insurance is like a monthly contribution, anytime you need it, they pay off your bills. Although insurance varies depending on which one you signed for.

If insurance truly paid the whole bill, then you will have a 0 account with the hospital. Take the zero account receipt with you. That's all the evidence you need for future visa issuance. If the insurance company didn't pay all, you have to pay the remaining yourself

Amother4life:


Very inaccurate statement. No foreigner is entitled to "free "insurance in the United States. Please,do not encourage people to break the law.
The lady you claim used insurance to pay off her bill...is she a resident or citizen? Was she paying a monthly premium on that insurance she used? I really hope it is not medicaid that your friend has used. In order to be eligible for Medicaid, individuals need to satisfy federal and state requirements regarding residency, immigration status, and documentation of U.S.
citizenship.

@ Buuaah;Your situation isn't so bad. It can still be corrected..
Firstly, Travel to whichever state that your wife is, get all the details of her medical bills,seek expert opinion as regards the insurance. If eventually you need to pay back, develop a payment plan to offset the bills. if your inlaws are willing to assist on this, pls swallow your pride and show appreciation.
Secondly,The issue between you and your wife can be sorted out. After clearing all the medical issue,take your wife for a weekend and try iron out your differences. You guyz need to make some sacrifices. Remember whatever you guyz decide will affect the innocent child positively or negatively. And if u cannot resolve it amongst yourself, pls seek counselling. But please leave both in-laws out of it.
I wish you and your family the very best this new month. all the best.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. I am thinking hard to reconcile or not just for the child sake. but so far my in laws highly incorporative. they are not even telling my the insurance company name. That making me more doubtful. Just asking for the consent form. I hope there is not alternative of consent otherwise they might not contact me. Even I drop message to my father in law to clear the bills by cash he is not replying to me.
I am just counting on time what they will decide.

@Kizluv

She is not single officially. On paper she is still married. how can she still get passport without my consent. If she can get passport without my consent, whats the purpose of this step by US government.
I want to give consent, but I just want them to talk with me properly and inform me what wrong doing they did properly so that we can rectify.

If suppose my child is not able to get passport, he can still get later on from the consulate if all issues are resolved later on.

Sorry for keeping thread flooded with my queries. I shall stop soon to enquire once I got a complete guideline.
