I am new on this platform which I found interesting I have some urgent questions for mummies and daddies who have attended us visa interview before. This is because my wife and I will be going for interview early Nx month for child delivery and vacation in the USA. My questions goes thus:
1.What are likely question dey do ask please going for child delivery
2. Is correspondence letter and appointment date a new requirement by the embassy because the most recent post I read from pple that just got their visa approved were asked for correspondence letter and appointment date
3. Most doctor I have contacted are asking for initial deposit of at least a non refundable $300 especially in Houston before they can give me a correspondence letter.
4. Dr fagbohun sent me his mode of payment by PayPal. What is PayPal, is it reliable and safe to pay

If my second and third questions are yes then I need somebody to help me get a doctor who can charge me a lower initial payment as low as $100 at least I can risk that or better still a doctor that will not charge me at all to get a correspondence letter from.Also to add dr fagbohun was asking for 300 but he said if I have somebody who has given birth through him such person can refer me he would not charge me the SAID amount that he will send the letter. I will need assistant in this regard whoever has delivered through fagbohun should please refer me so that I will escape this charges.
Kindly assist me and my wife ejoooo

Thanks Zilly
ZillyO:


It depends on the bank, some banks will want to see a letter from a Naija doctor stating what is wrong with you and referring you, then the one from doctor abroad accepting you plus his invoice showing what it will cost you.
But I think diamond bank is simple, just the invoice from the hospital bearing your name and amount, you fill a form A and give them authority to debit your account for Naira equivalent.
Form A typically means accessing FGN money and you need to show genuine proof to gain access, the Bank will bid for you and pay on your behalf to the hospital. But always remember to ask for telex copy, that's your proof of payment and might be useful at POE

Good evening.please I want your clarification on these.when filling ds 160 form,i came across a section which reads DO YOU BELONG TO ANY TRIBE OR CLAN. am an idoma man from benue state.please should I put IDOMA or does not apply.The second question has to do with purpose of trip.my wife purpose of trip is medical since she is going to give birth.what should I put as my purpose of trip since we intend to appear for interview same time and will be with her during her edd.The third question has to do with ADDRESS WHERE YOU WILL STAY IN THE USA. is it ok for us to put INTOWN SUITES since we intend to use doctoresparati services .THANKS

1. Not sure I've seen that question before but someone has answered you.

2. Your wife's purpose is medical, your purpose is tourism except you also plan to visit a doctor or do some business.

3.in town suites is an acceptable address ( you can Google the address itself and put that instead of just the name).

Audu told me #370/$ yesterday morning, I called again this morning and he said #270/$.
I love this magic.

I told the PTA guy at stanbicIBTC last week that very soon they will be the one begging us to come to them just like the fuel stations. I will remind him when I get there this morning.

I hope it gets back to 210/$.

Not true. Except u are sure u can get PTA same day ticket was issued. If u issue a ticket it takes till 12am of that day to void it. So who will issue a ticket that costs for just 10k.



You can buy a ticket today for a travel you want to make in Dec 2016 right? so thats exactly how the licensed travel agency works. With their Amadeus software, they can also do same. most travel agencies issue full ticket for any class of travel so cancelling or rebooking is either free or at a fraction... Anyways. Thats how i understand it. but u may be right i dont know.

There are two drop downs, on the first one pick 'TEMP.BUSINESS PLEASURE VISITOR (B).

A second one will appear immediately you pick that, on that one pick' BUSINESS AND TOURISM (TEMPORARY VISITOR) (B1/B2).

Please note that B1/B2 applies to both tourism and medical. So pick same for you and Madam, also, when you renew subsequently, it will cover any purpose you may have....except work of course.

Abeg pay $300 except you don't plan to use the doctor, in which case decide on the doctor first.

Then by all means go to town with your Stanbic IBTC card. 208.720 is what I was charged on Amazon on Feb 23rd.

As low as 1500? Sister/brother i suggest you increase your budget or park your dream for US o! But im sure u can ask google...and if theres any, it will pop smth up.

But remember, even if yu get doc for 1500 it will be exclusv of labs or anyth else and u better not accept medicaid....

208.720. I was shocked myself. I was charged N31,014 for $148.59. I picked the option to pay in Naira though.

Hello mothers to be. I have been following this thread and want to have my baby in the States. I have cleared my visa issue and all, my problem is accommodation , I contacted Dr Fagbohun and also Dr Glenn Morgan, that is Oakbend medical centre and Northwest medical centre in Houston. I really need advice on accommodation and will like to know if there is anyone with same issue. I intend to travel mid April BGG as I am due in June. Thanks.

Good morning all.
I collected my child's birth certificate on monday and requested for his passport same day(expedited) was charged $200 plus. The lady said the shortest possible time I can get it is 2-4 weeks while I am due to come back to naija second week of march. My friend here said that what they will say that the passport will get here before then. Please for those that have expidited their LO's pp, did u get it before two weeks even when they told you the same thing I was told?

Secondly , I am thinking I shld do ETC, I think I might not av enough tym to process visa if the passport comes considering my travel date. One of the requirement is to send my travel plan. Pls would I av added the baby's ticket before sending it or before I add it, and pls how long does the process take. Pls help with Di's and any oda info that might help. Thank you
