Ijebu people plenty for this thread o. Pls can you post a snapshot of the brand you got? The one I saw at healthplus is made by "Scholl" or something

There's actually visa on arrival for non Nigerian passport holders. I recall that on arrival, I was asked if I have a visa for my baby that if I wanted to get it I should go to a section in the airport. Typically, US citizens can get on a plane almost anywhere without a visa, just passport while immigration issues or visas are sorted at entry. This applies to newborns also

customised87:


You can either use an agent for the visa or u can do the application yourself using the USPS like u did the US passport. I am presently not using any agent for mine.

I got a ticket to houston for 289k yesterday. I was considering doing lagos-new york but after after adding flights ticket from NY to houston and maybe 1night hotel bill. It didn't make much sense....

sayoberry:
Update:
Called passport office on Sunday and got an appointment for yesterday, so I went there and they asked me to com today... I met a nairalander too.
Fast forward to today I'm currently smiling at two shining navy blue pali

Meanwhile I collected my zero balance from Dr Fagbohun today. My babies blew my cover in his office NL people recognized me one time and one mama said my mouth big pass my body infact I need to gather weight, height and old face small.

For the Nigerian visa in blue Biro, I'm thinking of doing it myself since I still have a long time till I go home. Though I've called the tanko man already just incase.

Has anyone done visa by himself?

sayoberry:

Google is your friend, and when in doubt, consult your doctor, not an online self acclaimed doctor!

People at risk for Pre-eclampsia are put on Low dose aspirin after 12 weeks till 32 weeks to prevent pre-eclampsia. Prevention is better than cure, or doesn't that make sense?
And one mama just shared her experience with low dose aspirin, due to her history and as prescribed by her proper doctor and she has not had blood pressure issues so far. Infact some doctors won't put you on anti-hypertensive drugs if your lower BP reading is not above 90, instead they use low dose aspirin.

Please mamas, discuss any issues you have with your doctor who has your history, so you don't get misled or misdiagnosed by one oversabi.

Omodaraju:

My wife is also due in sept.. bros eh u don start nw dey pay for flight ticket? Abeg which airline u use and which city she wan go

olokings:


Aaah...me I have bought all tickets already abj-dallas. .....
Using emirates July 31st N317,400 each (bought ticket direct on the emirates site) cos I have a party of 6 travelling (kids. .mother in-law et al). Have a 22 hrs layover in dubai (emirates have even booked complimentary hotels n dubai visas for us all)
Ryt now I'm just researching hospitals buh noticed very Lil no. Of ppl re using Dallas hospitals.
This I'm leaning towards taking domestic flight to el paso when it's time 4 delivery. ...arnd sept last week of the month.
Buh if I see an affordable hospital in Dallas dt does guaranties not giving x-factor bills other than what's wooed. .then she'd give birth in Dallas. ..checked out arlington med centre. .buh since I don't have ppl with experience delivering there. .in a bit skeptical.

I applied to renew my B1/B2 visa via drop box last week. I just got an email from the embassy asking me to come for an interview. Should I be scared? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Any tips/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

You will need to give more information,so that we will know how to advice you. Did you have a child in America in the past?

lalavita:
Yes, you should be scared...lol just kidding o
Provide more details so people can give constructive advice.

FinanceFitness:
Nothing to be scared of, just go with all your burden of proof. It is part of their process to call people randomly, which happens to be you in the case.

All the best and let us know it goes

Terese69:


Thanks a lot. I will definitely be back with good news IJN.

Thanks a lot for your response lalavita.

I intend to use Dr. Fagbohun so all I have is the generic email he sent me stating that he is happy to have me as his patient and he does not accept advance payment, neither does the hospital (oakbend). He also attached the cost of services in the email so I intend to take those with me to my interview. I wonder if that will suffice. I have never had a baby in the US before, this is actually my first pregnancy.

I haven't booked an accommodation yet, however I intend to use soulcare concierge. I have email correspondences with them and also the quote they sent me. So I will take those too. I have my bank statements and budget sheet already, pay slips for the past 6 months, letter from my boss confirming my maternity leave and an introduction letter from my company. Is there anything else I should take with me?

Adiahabasi:


Accomodation in St Louis is 243/week wt tax,could be slightly more expensive depending on the extended stay apartment u choose,they are quite many and some are close to each other. Vaginal delivery hosp bill ...2600, epidural--800, dr's bill--800 for delivery, 150 first visit,100 subsequent visits (Not all dr's charge this amount, some are in the 2,200 t0 3k range for self pay). They would still do some tests even if you brought every from Naija, and depending on the doc u may hv to do another ultrasound (200-300)...other tests to be done are GBS, CBC, and any other one the dr deems fit for your case.

dere5:


Bravo ! You have done well. I guess it was the 3months stay and travelling with your mum that gave you away.

domrita:

@sayoberry......our own NL celebrity is an IB mama so good ! kisses to ur prince and princess. will check up d compressn socks and let us know

Tvegas:
@Sayoberry ,MadameU, Hopefulme and every mum who has given birth i say congratulations. Hope to hear more of such good news in no distant future. Max by summer 2015 may you be searching cheap tickets and cheap hospit-- HOLD IT THERE

Newmum0615:
Iya Ibeji, can I use a pre-notarized DS-3063 (signed by hubby) form from any Naija court or other notary and go along with it as I travel? Or must it be from the embassy after baby is born? I hear different states have their own rules. I am using Oakbend in Houston too.
