Happy holiday everyone. Pls i need to ask a question. My trip to go give birth in the US would be sponsored by my mum's step brother. We all do not have the same surname. Do you think they will accept his statement of account? He has the money as he is wealthy and his children are schooling abroad. So the money in the account would not be a problem but our different names. I am a single mum for now. I work but my money isn't enough oh. Pls advice me. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by lobus: 11:57am On Dec 26, 2016 |
Ifylicious: This is a tough one. However note below concerns the VO may have; - You are a single mum, your income isn't very sizable (going by what you said). This does not really represent sufficient ties to Nigeria to make you want to return after delivery. - Only your husband/partner has the responsibility for catering for you. Your mum's step brother is under no obligation to pay your fees and may as well change his mind. What then happens when he changes his mind? You become stranded and opt for Medicaid? - What is your travel history? It is believed by the VO that everyone going to the US does not intend returning, so you must convince them beyond reasonable doubt. My take: Be prayerful as your case is quite tight. Have the sponsor move the money to your account. If possible, he moves Naira to you, convert to USD and put in your dom acct. If it doesn't work out, you can convert back and give him Naira. Be ready with strong reasons of why you cannot have the baby here in Nigeria. Be ready to explain your present job function in an interesting way. Have your burden of proof. Hopefully you have travel history. 6 Likes |

lobus: Ok thankyou. But can my partner tender his own statement of account. We are not yet married though so we do not have same surname. Will they ask for proof to show he is my partner? Thank you. I am starting the visa process this Jan so I want to get information I need before I book for an interview. Thnx |

Hi all ,I am the lady her husband abused physically sometime in September,I would be due God's grace in a week's time,e hasn't bothered reaching out,but I decided to reach out to ask him on two occasions on what contribution he would make regarding the birth of the baby,he read and ignored,now I am confused on what last name I should give the child,because from all indication he has proven he doesn't want to be involved in the child's life,note I still bear my last name cos we did just traditional marriage,if I give his last name won't father's consent be required and won't I be disturbed at the airport when we want to travel?pls I am open to suggestions pls!thanks |

Compliments of the season house.Please what are the pros and cons of using teaching hospitals in the US because I have heard some people talking about using them,that they have a flat rate of 3500 Dollars for everything. |

ada87: I would advice you to thread cautiously here because this is a very important and sensitive issue,if not for the consent issues,i would have advised you to go ahead and give your child his last name despite all you wrote above that has transpired between the both of you.I have seen and heard of situations where the man behaved far worse than this and at the end fences were mended ( pls note that, in no way do i condone or support his behavior,in fact i find it totally appalling ) I would still advice that if there is a way to go around the consent issues,pls give the child his last name. I know you are hurting now,but this phase would surely pass i guarantee you. Stay well and be strong. Wish you a safe delivery 6 Likes |

ada87:Nne. My advice is based solely on your best interests. Mbok! If the man has not shown any interest and you are birthing in the US, for the purpose of certificates/consent et al , go as a single mother. Any day/year oga wake up, name can be changed. I'm of The opinion that you shouldn't put a hold on your life to please a man when no send. Shebi there's a space for father's name on BC? If you put it there, dosent mean the surname has to be his (I stand to be corrected) I have seen thousand of cases where the man after denying/ignoring a child comes to his senses several years later. Surname was Not an issue. 18 Likes |

[quote author=ada87 post=52284020]Hi all ,I am the lady her husband abused physically sometime in September,I would be due God's grace in a week's Hi Ada, What are the details u entered when u registered for antenatal, did u state that ure married and that the father is involved in the pregnancy? If not, kindly proceed with the single mom profile and u can state his name on the birth certificate of the baby but use ur last name. I do not know if that will be accepted in your tradition. Also, I think u shud ask ur mom or any other elderly person that's on ur side, they may have other opinion for u. As for me, I will maintain a single mom profile and delete him from my life but sometimes we have to calm down and rethink our decisions. I pray God will guide right. PS: Abeg i have a big space in Chicago and I am willing to share, anyone interested shud pm me for details. I am bored and need a companion. 4 Likes |

ada87: Madam, this na family matter oo! My home was worse than WWE court in my first year of marriage, I even sent my wife away with pregnancy thinking I'm being a "man", but today I regret every of my actions. Not all men can handle the pressure of marriage, calm down there is learning curve. He will definitely come back to his senses. I assure u that u guys are better off together. Raising a child alone no be moi moi oo. My wife never gave up on me all that period and I will always honour her for that. 9 Likes |

For documents processing sake if he will be willig to send u d notarised consent form as d father u can give d baby his surname but if not to make things easier for you wen processing your baby's documents proceed as a single mother. My two cents. 7 Likes |

ada87: Your child can have his name on the birth certificate without listing him as the father A name is a name anyone can bear anything. The baby's surname does not need to correspond to either the mom or the dad or any name on the certificate, I suggest you stil give the baby her fathers name but leave the fathers section blank on the birth certificate for convenience. Once his name is there then you cannot apply for the passport without his consent 7 Likes |

Ifylicious: To be honest with you, long explanations makes it easier for them to deny you. It is mostly black or white with these VO and hardly a shade of grey. Your partner should move the money to your account for the purpose of securing the Visa. |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by lobus: 10:00am On Dec 27, 2016 |
ada87: If your 'husband' isn't forthcoming, speak with his parents/family. Make sure you get their input on what to do and go with whatever they tell you haven put forward your concerns. In Africa, we marry the family technically and not primarily the individual. They can defend you when push comes to shove. I do hope you are prayerful in all you're going true. It is well with you 3 Likes |

If you have done traditional marriage then the child is his and should have his last name though he is not being reasonable at this time. You need to consult elders from his place that really know the tradition because in my own place if you are married traditionally all the children you have are the man's even when he is dead except you divorce by returning his bride price. As for you , you can use any last name you like because it is usually stated that all documents still remain valid when you do change of name . You can mention your husband as father on the Birth certificate if you like. If you prefer not no problems or can be inserted at another time there are procedures for that. If you do then what it will mean is when you go to get the baby's US Passport you will have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that you can not reach the father or he doesn't care. You will then fill form DS 5525 to that effect and make your case. That is if he doesn't come around by then. This site will also help in your decision making I advice you go through it see the link below http://www.scdhec.gov/vitalrecords/PaternityAndLegitimation/mindex.htm ada87: 2 Likes |
