quote author=Blackgolden post=57277581]Iong post alert: In the spirit of giving back, I'd like to share my experience at the dreaded Houston POE. Even though I feel hurt that since I join this forum, the 2 post I had posted for inquiries have been deleted, and I really don't why. It's all good, cos I still was diligent in reading the threads and equipping myself. I got my visa on a vigin passport in Feb 2017 and didn't know I was pregnant until weeks later, and when asked by the Vo then I said I wasn't. Was doing research online and bumped on this platform, where I keenly followed the Change of Intent info. I sent my change of intent sometime in April as I was planning to travel in June. Got the reply..."I'm not obligated to tell them, but be able to prove at POE I can handle my bills etc" To cut the long story...Got to the airport(Abuja) June 4 while checking in at Lufthansa, the lady asked if I was pregnant I said yes, she asked if I had my fit to fly, I said yes, she said I'll need the port healthy cert. I told her I'm only 22 weeks and according to their online info, I wouldn't need that except from 35weeks, she insisted. I went to the portal and the lady said it was 2k, I said I thought it was 1k5, she said no, I just gave her the 2k. She took my temperature and BP and gave me the receipt. Finished everything and we took off by 10:20pm for Frankfurt. Food was horrible- I begin purge for plane. Thank God I sat close to the lavatory. 4hrs layover and we were Houston bound - I no gree chop again, just asked for their dry bread, butter with Coke. Landed at Houston June 5 around 1:30pm US time (just like I read here) target one young innocent looking CBP guy and stayed on his queue... CBP- Good afternoon ma'am, passport plz? Me- Good afternoon (hands it) Cbp- why are you in the US Me- Vacation and Childbirth (looking a bit disoriented and was signalling for a colleague) Cbp- How long are you staying Me- 5months Me - I have made some deposit at the hospital and I have correspondence with my doctor. Cpb- plz let me have them. (Still calling his colleauge) Me- (hands them to him) At this time the colleague comes and he explains to him- This is her 1st time in the US and she plans to give birth, these are correspondence with her doctor and deposit receipt... Cbp2 - who will you be staying with Me- my sister in Dallas. Cbp2 - Are you giving birth in Dallas Me- Yes, Baylor Scott and White Hospital is also in Dallas. Cbp2- during your interview, did you start this intention? Me- no, because I didn't know at the time, but I sent a change of intent letter (reaching for the reply) and this was the reply I got. He takes his time to read it and hands it back. Cbp2 - I see you have paid $1000 deposit, how much is everything going to cost u? Me- about $6k5 Cbp2 - V or Cs Me- V. Cbp1- I see you have $8k5 with you. Me- yes, should I show you. Cbp2- yes, but be careful, you don't want to call any attention to yourself. Showed them in my purse Cbp2- all 100bills Me- yes. CBP 2- How did you get all this cash Me- part of my savings from salary and most from my husband. Cbp2- is your husband joining you Me- yes, much later Cbp1- what do you do? Me- Program and Communications Officer with.... Cbp1- Your husband? Me- He is bleep bleep at..... Cbp1- plz place your fingers on the machine CBP2- make sure you keep all your receipt, cos we will request for it the next time you come. Also, do not accept any medicare here cos it will affect you visa and return to the states. Welcome to the US (CBP1 was stamping my passport already) Congratulations! Please what's your hospital fee and doctors fee. Thank you. Baylor McKinney gave me hospital fee of 6570 for V-delivery and about 9k for cs .[/quote] |

Hello Guys, Need Info from anyone who just used oakbend in Richmond or somewhere in Houston Dr Z did not provide an itemized bill statement but rather a different document highlighting that that is what they give patients.Also, oakbend just forwarded zero balance letter and we asked for itemized zero bill statment and they said they no longer give this. Please advise if this is a new and general trend coz I know the VO and CBP usually ask for itemized statements and we got this the last time we used oakbend two years ago |

wholesomegrace:@ashedzi, please assist with details of Brooklyn/Newyork hospital and doctor details. Kindly send to kingzkid23@yahoo.com. Thanks please help, it is urgent |
| Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by firsttymum(f): 11:25am On Jun 08, 2017 |
PrinceAdeAde:ask account... Go to the office and meet her... She's flexible and prompt. Ask for ur receipts.... I doubt they'll deny u that. So zero balance is from Hosp. Dr will give u theirs Pediatrician will give theirs Anesthesiologist will give theirs Brown and associates will give theirs. So these are ur itemized bills. Trust me the long sheets or receipt from d Hospital.. Especially Hospital leads to no visa ( most times) ... E dey put person for trouble... Cos vo or cbp don't understand how 19000 became zero after 2300.. If u like speak English.. Dey won't understand ur self pay "bullsh*t" Cc Nefertitiram and modath |
