Any Houston bound mama ready to share apartment pm me. Boredom wan kill person heee. Need company

Hello House,
Has anyone flew ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE recently to US and especially to the West Coast- Phoenix Arizona.
What was the experience? Any difficulty on the way? How cool is Ethiopian Airline?
Any worries at POE or concern to be noted?
I found them to be fair in pricing compared to the Europe, UK and Golf airlines.
Do they provide accommodation for long lay over- 13hrs to 20hrs.
Travel is for August with 2 kids...

Secondly, anyone with Hospital and doctor info that is cheaper than 8k for CS at Phoenix? Pls post or pm.

Pls i need help with the info before ticket hold expires on friday.

Thank you all.

Hello All.

Please are there any issues flying Quatar to USA. About to buy my ticket, traveolling early October

Please help house. any one flown Qatar recently? reviews? and how many hours layover do they provide accommodation. tnx!

Veeeeery long post alert!

A big weldone to all the mamas and papas in the house and congratulations on all new births and about to be parents in the house.

My post is 2 years overdue and i cant but appreciate this forum . In 2015, i had my baby in richmond Virginia and because of all the information here i didnt have to ask questions from anyone. Please those that ask questions should always read tru. Its full of all necessary information.

Back to my story. I got my visa then for a conference that i didnt plan to attend. I joined this site and realised i should have said the truth. I called the embassy (i live in South Africa) and was told i could travel with it but i have to convince the CBP officer i could pay my bills. All went well and i had my baby then.

Fastforward to 2017, for renewal, i was torn between lying again or saying the truth. I decided to say the truth and i had all my burden of proof. Heres my interview

VO : why are you going to the states this time around

ME: for child birth

VO: Are you travelling alone?

ME:  Yes

VO: Y? Do you have family there?

ME: No

VO: Do you have a budget sheet?

ME: Yes and i handed it over along with the letter from my dr and hospital

VO: You had your baby there before?

ME: Yes and i have all the receipts

VO:  Let me see and your bank statement

ME: i handed them over and she flipped through all

VO: whao! Am impressed you kept all your receipts and you are so organised.
Then she calculates the hospital bill and dr's fees and compares with my budget sheet and bank statement. 
She smiles and says congratulations your visa has been approved.

ME: Thank you.

I owe it all to God and to the wonderful pple on this forum. It pays to tell the truth and have your burden of proof as well.

I used Chippenham$ Johnston willis hospital and the quote for 2015 is still the same with 2017

Sorry for the extra long post

Good evening everyone
Is good to be here and God bless everyone here.
I have been a silent reader here for some time but on & off.
Am 15weeks gone, first baby on the way and about to apply for visa.
My direction for hospital is Houston Texas and i found one which is "WEST HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTER"
MY QUESTION IS":

1) Is "WEST HOUSTON MEDICAL CENTER" SAME AS "WEST HOUSTON BIRTH CENTER"
2) PLEASE DO ANYONE IN THE HOUSE HAVE CONTACT EMAIL OF ANY DOCTOR IN TEXAS CLOSE TO THIS HOSPITAL.
3) IF ANY ONE HAVE GIVING BIRTH IN ANY OF THIS HOSPITAL IN TEXAS OR ABOUT TO..PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP FOR MORE INFO?
4) I NEED HELP ON HOW TO SEARCH FOR BUDGET SAMPLE HERE SO I CAN WORK ON MINE.
5) IS IT BESTS FOR ME TO APPLY ALONE OR
WITH HUSBY AS AM A HOME MAKER BUT MY HUSBY IS THE SPONSOR.

God bless all women on this missionary journey.

I await positive response from anyone to guild me through my questions. Thanks.

Question 1: No they are 2 different entities,one is a hospital,while the other is a birth center,stay away from the birth center
Question 2: Visit the hospital website and search for doctors affiliated to the hospital
Question 3: No answer.
Question 4: type budget sheet in the search space above and narrow It to travel section or search for dora2007 post
Question 5: There are no fixed rules,you can apply alone and let your husband serve as your tie to home or both of you can apply,which ever you are comfortable with

@ nefertitiram so you only need your international passport that has valid US visa on it to get the BC and US passport.

The information is correct from the vital record requirements on paper. However, I was advised to go with a second ID by the hospital and the county officer (@ Fort Bend, Texas) insisted on a second ID. Sometimes rules are applied differently from what is written black and white.

Not a problem. Thanks for responding and safe missionary journey for us all.

Thank you! What did you use as your second ID, as my drivers licence has expired

Hello everyone, so I gave birth to my cute little princess upper Wednesday (July 5) , thanks to people that have been sending their wishes. And I'm so sorry that I've not been replying mails, esp naija greatest and naija summary. Will reply asap. So far, B.C and SSN have been gotten, waiting for the notarized form from Naija to apply for her U.S passport. However, naija consulate in Atlanta seems to be having some kinda issue at the moment , which is making application for her naija passport impossible for now, I'm still waiting for them tho but if by first week in August it's d same, will have to do visa-on-arrival. Although, I don't know how that works or how long it takes, hoping someone will enlighten me. Thank you all and by the way, I used Piedmont Atlanta, awesome hospital.

I used my Drivers' licence, I think you can also use work ID as the second.

Hi House, My wife and I wanted to use Chicago hospital for out second baby but we later change our decision to use DelSol Medical Centre where we had our first child, since it's not so feasible that I'll travel due to work schedule. I have initiated communication with the hospital and awaiting my await my wife appointment letter from the hospital. Do I send a letter of change of intent to the embassy? (if yes what mail address please?).

Please what document do you suggest she need to take along with her for her POE.

Same here, they insisted but I referred them to their requirements. They didn't have a choice

borryworld:

I didn't have a second one and they wanted to rain on my parade. But if you have a second one, just hold it. States differ in the way they operate

No you don't have to write a change of intent letter to the embassy
My advice is for you to hold your statement of zero balance plus all your old receipts from your 1st missionary journey
Using a different Dr from what you a mentioned during interview shouldn't be an issue,just hold Dr and hospital correspondence for this new Dr you plan to use.

Ethiopia airline is not just good airline but great....I flew with them to China on official assignment three times and i have had no reason to regret that. Any layover in Addis of over 8 hrs, you will be entitle to a hotel accommodation. Even their aircraft is good. I just love everything about them. Cant wish for more

Hello All,
Thanks for the reply. You know two or three witnesses are enough to confirm once thoughts.
I called Ethiopian Airline Adis Ababa to ask about hotel reservation and was told to send email to wasres@ethiopianairlines.com 10 days before the flight for free hotel accommodation at the lay over point (Washington DC) for this case.
Just felt so sorry for Nigerian Airlines missing out on this.....
Thanks and God bless... My people...

Hello, please what is the quote for delivery at Piedmont Atlanta

debby516:
I have a quote from Piedmont. I got their email last week. you may pm me.

reniduke:

I did not pre-arrange. I searched for one close to my home and booked appointment for 2 days after i was discharged. Kennesaw paedatrics-loved them.

Hi reniduke, please what was the scope of service performed by Kennesaw pediatrics and how much did it cost?

Hello Everyone,

I am a first timer here so I'm not sure how this really works.

Its my first pregnancy and I plan to give birth in Chicago, IL. I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me with good Dr/Hospital and accommodation ideas.

Thank you.

My sister flew with them and her husband did last week friday, I dont know what issues your are expecting but none was witnessed. The usual thing is getting questioned (by a US official-someone like a CBP) at doha before you board your US bound flight.

as per layover, I do not know. You may need to contact their customer service on that

urblackpearl:


Please help house. any one flown Qatar recently? reviews? and how many hours layover do they provide accommodation. tnx!

Could you please start by googling hospitals close to where you would stay then start reaching to them they will send you all you need. I promise you it's very easy just check the differenc in time so as to know when to call.

thanks for the response. what I heard is that those CBP at Doha can be very strict and difficult and they turn people back a lot from Doha
