You are so right firsttymum. It's a lot cheaper, especially for a triplet mum like me that spends ×3 for almost everything. Also, you don't have panic attack wondering if your child's (children's ) blue Pali arrived safely. Modath and Nefertitiram, you people didn't invite us abi? Because we are a crowd, eh ? llol

ETC is cheaper, it's just $270 + $20 shipping fee.
The shipping fee for the passport alone is something else. Some peeps paid more Dan $80 just for shipping alone.

Pls can I get help with pages where ETC was discussed? Tried searching but d etc coming out fit reach one million.. Pls anyone help... Can't wait to go back home oooo

been all busy taking care of DW and the twins....got BC, got US passport...SSN yet to come probably delayed cos of thanksgiving...planned using ETC...the problem now is that we booked our return for 30th dec...but because of twin delivery LO's came much earlier....decided to move my ticket to anytime next week....Na him i called BA in the US to shift departure date and add infant ticket....the cheapest bill they gave me was $2,250 of DW and I only ...for my mind i said Ok.(na him cut call)..tried calling Naija BA representative they came up with $1780 for DW and I 2 infant tickets not inclusive....(hmmmmm)...wondering how i will go about it...cant stay here till 30th...pls any advice on cheaper means?...

When you say shipping fee for passport,pls what does that mean?is that like a fee you pay separately for at post office?if it is,does one have to declare the package contains a passport?is the fee compulsory?

Round One of our missionary journey is officially a wrap. Wifey and baby returned to Naija yesterday via BA.

Even while there were a few legitimate concerns, we went ahead with Dr F and Oakbend. We figured there were both positive and negative reviews for him but as long as other people were birthing with him, it couldn't be worse than the experiences we've had in the past.

In this era of misconstruing positive feedback for selling and one who gives good reviews must be an agent, I will not be that open about our experience with the doctor. However, there were two incidents worth noting:

1. We got a bill of $6,840 from US Anesthesia Partners for wifey's unscheduled CS after speaking to a customer rep. He insisted on not accepting our payment of $950 until the matter was decided by the board and demanded we fax a justification for the reduction in price to him. We sent him all the documents he requested and at the last minute, we spoke to Dr F about it. He referred to the customer rep as ignorant who should be taken lessons from we patients. Long story short, we didn't pay a cent more than $950 and we received our zero balance.

2. After sending numerous emails to Alice of Oakbend and several un-returned phone calls in-between, Dr F during our post partum appointment advised we pay them a visit at the billing office. We did and got our zero balance 30 minutes later.

The doctor could be the worst doctor in the whole US of A or we were just lucky.

Sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed in no small measure to our journey: directly or otherwise. We are very grateful. The openness with which information is shared here is unparalleled and this made everything super smooth. Even our friends who live in America got a few tips from us.

P.S Now preparing myself for Round Two before Donald Trump gets sworn into office and dabaru everything

Yes the money you pay to post office to send your documents to and fro. You don't have to declare. Yes the fee is compulsory cos they can't post your documents for free.

Am glad you had a good experience with Dr F.

Now the highlighted got me laughing

Now for those saying ETC is cheaper, no it isn't. It's only good for those who plan getting baby's Naija passport immediately you arrive naija but if you plan travelling before 2 yrs without getting the passport, then Naija visa sure pass.

And besides naija visa is 300$ for a 2 yr visa while the ETC which expires within 7 days is 270$.

#myopinion#

LI congrats, glad you had a nice time with dr F

Thank God for a successful and safe journey

Pediatric first visit for me was 75 dols
Did that new born screening too. But for 12 dols. The nurse assisting the dr( as in take weight et al) insisted I b referred me to memorial hermann she said it was the cheapest and truly it was.

Baby doesn't need a ticket for the Nigerian visa. Urs is enough.
.

Referee you to memorial Hermann for what? The hearing test?

P.s the hearing test can be declined - it's optional but since reading about a mama whose baby failed it in this thread I think it's better to go ahead

Which pediatric did u use?

Ok I get u , price list is from La Palmas $ Del Sol Health Care while the Dr's correspondence is from Dr Anthonio De La Rosa, none bears Doctoresparati

MayMaj:



Looking forward to every of ur post cos I knw I will definitely laff.. I think it's better u have an address cos delivery doesn't take more dan 4 working days max, don't knw if there is anything like book on hold Sha cos as u buying things, u pay online with either PayPal account or master card or any payment method..

Check Burlington as their prices are fair, Walmart too, Marshalls is OK but a bit expensive Sha.

Is Marshalls online now, when I was in the US they weren't online and it pained me cos they have nice things in their stores, I had to go to store to shop.

favoredgal:


Be patient!!! Your passport is probably in transit to the embassy.

They invited me to the embassy about a month and 4 days after i submitted Dropbox but immediately after the interview the visa came out in 3 days

You know doctoresperati is not the same as del sol hospital (is that the spelling?) if you can get correspondence straight from the hospital better, if you want to use doctoresperati's correspondence up to you. I just gave u the hint cuz I know uv not been on the thread for a while, not sure if uv read back to know the denials that has gone hand in hand with their correspondence

favoredgal I also registered with doctoresparati, the price list is from La Palmas $ Del Sol Health Care while the Dr's correspondence is from Dr Anthonio De La Rosa, none bears Doctoresparati. As regards your advice of not going for interview with an agent's correspondence, am I on the right track?

@ LI

Dear wife Also had a Wonderful Experience with Dr Fagbohun @ Oakbend Before Delivery we had balance of $700. to pay after unscheduled C S, we given a bill of $1500 as total including the initial one.

We got an Excellent Treatment from Dr Fagbohun.

Now for those saying

Even though ETC seems cheaper (depending) , I still went for Naija visa, I felt comfortable doing d visa rather dan the ETC. For me the difference was $52 including postal fee.

Hi everyone. Compliments of the season. Am a FTM planning to birth in the us precisely new jersey. But pls nd pls I just need a quick ans. My mum is supposed to go wit me for my missionary journey altho she just submitted her visa application and has gotten her appointment date but the issue is that her passport bears her first name and last name but she went to include her middle name too in the visa application form. Is dis going to b a problem for her during interview? Cos I just dey vex for her since. Told her to wait for me to crosscheck. But her blood is just tooo hot..... Pls I need an urgent reply so I can calm down and make my own contributions in dis wonderful forum. Tnx.

It was a joy to be part of the experience. Infact there was nothing else I would rather do.

As for the spacing thing. Na God hand the thing day, even this one we just did took 3 years. God help us
