Ok my people. I promised to come back and update you guys with the other bills

The 3800 bill that was given by the hospital was cancelled. I spoke with the Financial councelor and you told me the bill was a mistake and has been cancelled.

I got a bill from the Pediatrix Medical Group and i paid $714 for Pediatrician.

I paid $166.73 for pathology for both mother and child.

All bills sorted.

Parking my bags to come back home.

Thank you for your response. Sorry but I have more questions....what did you submit as flight itinerary for the baby. I am yet to get her ticket. Was thinking of getting it at the airport on the day we depart.

I also saw allow for 1-2 days for receipt payment acknowledgement. Did you actually had to wait that long for the slip. I have just this week to get the visa. Travelling next week and I don't want stories that touches the heart.

Thank you as I await your response.

I paid online so there was no waiting . I just printed the necessary forms and payment acknowledgement receipt. I also paid for expedited service n Paid for overnight delivery and return service. It took 3days.

Thank God I finally got my visa renewed without being interviewed . Thanks all for cooling my temper as I was scared cos I don't need any denial now .

quote author=debbyomi post=53461804]

Yes my sis in law got hers without an interview. Theirs tookover a week to come back. I had to go in for an interview after submitting my drop box. The request for interview came 2days after I submitted so I guess you might be in the clear. All the best[/quote]

Hello Mamas,

I just arrived LA yesterday for my missionary journey, I was suprised I wasn't asked any question at the point of entry despite my big pointy tommy. The CBP only asked how long I will be staying and I said 10 -12 weeks and he stamped me in till August 2017.

I hope I didn't miss anything.

Anyway I used emirates-16hrs to LA from Dubai..

Any LA mums around? Plsss let's hook up.. need a pattern ..

I look forward to ending this journey well...

Hello all

Am a first time mum, and i want to go have my baby in USA, can any one provide advise on how to go about with the Visa process, does the fact that am pregnant and showing hinder my chances of obtaining a visa.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by freshdad: 9:46pm On Feb 06, 2017
giving birth in the USA is LEGAL and as such you should be honest with that at the interview. Make payments for a B1B2 visa at any gtbank and you are a step away

The 1st question is do you have enough money to sponsor this trip?,do you have evidence to show that you can afford this trip? Eg a good job,a bank balance that covers the amount on your budget sheet.
If yes,then you are good to go. It doesn't matter that your pregnancy is showing.
What matters is read this thread, take notes and prepare adequately and you'll be fine.

IT IS NOT A CRIME TO GIVE BIRTH IN THE US IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY YOUR BILLS

Hello Family, I’ve being a silent follower of this thread for more than a year now, even before I got married. I have a compilation of successful and otherwise visa interviews. It will be nice to relate my experience earlier this morning at the embassy (Lagos).
Went with my wife and the queue was long though, with a lot of denials here and there. Finally our turn..

VO- Morning, passports please
Hands over passport
VO- Why are you going to the US?
Me- Vacation
DW- To deliver our baby
VO- Which doctor?
DW- Doctor Esperati
VO- Why did you choose there?
DW- 2 of my friends have previously delivered there, and recommended it, also I researched and got some positive reviews.
VO- (typing vigorously) … What is the budget?
Me- Slightly above $12,000. But we estimated $15,000. I have a budget sheet
VO- No, I do not need it………. Tell me about your company... “Caleb ……………company”
Me- I am into the downstream petroleum industry, bla bla bla bla……..
VO- What challenges do you encounter in the business?
Me- Some scarcity here and there, middle men, black market, difficulty in getting goods, etc.
VO- (typing vigorously and for quite some time).. you know you can not take 15k dollars into the states, you have break it down or declare it.
Me- Yes, I am aware, I’ve got some credit cards as well.
VO- (after some moment of more vigorous typing) … congratulations, pick up your….. I nor hear the rest, I was already in cloud 9!

No documents at all was requested. Not even a glance at the bank statements. It can only be God.
My best wishes to those awaiting theirs. Just be genuine and be confident. It is okay to be nervous and anxious but be confident.
Peace!

Dear Debby516. I sent you an email. I need to get some info from you, if that is okay. Can you please respond? I'd really appreciate it.
debby516:
Weigh your options, you re likely to have a weekly appointment with the doctor, depending on how many weeks you get into town. Other factors your consider is your shopping etc. My apartment was across Oakbend in Richmond and i was seeing Dr. Z in his clinic at Katy, like 30mins away weekly, but I wasn't paying for transportation cos it was part of my package. My apartment wasnt far to the malls i needed to go for baby things shopping and groceries, less than $10. Except u re a FTM, even at dat, u'll ve observed labour signs, we don't pray for emergency but if u re in naija, u'll sha still get someone ro drive you to the hosp and nt call ambulance.
