This is strange, I came in through Dallas POE at about 7 months plus and I didn't even spend up to 5 mins with the CBP before I got stamped with 6 months. Dallas POE is almost the easiest in this country. very sad for her o.

Something probably happened..its sad her visa got canceled

That Dallas story is weird.Too late to fly at 7 months plus 3weeksMost airlines has 36weeks max so something is fishy.Is it the CBP's responsibility to determine when someone can fly or not.Something does not add up here.

Tvegas:


Waooh sorry about this. Still on the search for the best option.

Maryland is expensive no matter the county... Even holy cross is expensive even though a lot of Nigerians give birth there...if you have the money you will b billed n you have family support there, then ur good to go...

afrobrown2000:
she called and told me about her transcript...i just said do you really want to give birth in US she said yes but she isnt applying again...i knew she wanted it more than i did,so just waited till she came back and cooled off...she opted to go for another interview.. we filled the form but this time i had to get a doctors letter to apply for the emergency appointment cause her EDD is March 7th..which was approved
Note no changes in documents just told her that every document has a story to tell and must correlate with one another..she should be more explanatory but precise

3rd interview

Location Lagos
Time 6am
Date 21/12/17

she went for bio-metrics wasn't looking too strong cause she got to lagos late due to delay flight and woke too early for appointment..the guy doing her bio-metrics was like hope your ok...she said am fine just exhausted...he reassured her she will be fine..then went on a queue

What you need is doctor (very important). That will determine hospital . the hospitals you mentioned have the highest mentions for Houston on this thread.

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope we had a good weekend......

Please I need urgent help about hospitals in Houston Texas. I had planned to give birth in Maryland area but had a last minute decision to change to Texas area cos of cost. I have been trying to gather info on Texas hospitals but its difficult getting it all together because of my short timing. Im travelling last week in January and have to book a flight latest tomorrow.

Please and please anyone with summary info about hospitals in Texas should kindly post here....so far I have little information about West Houston Medical, Oakbend, Methodist Sugarland etc. My major driver is cost....i plan to do a VBAC or CS (fine with either), i plan tostay in a hotel/rented apartment

I know this is asking for too much...but please i would really appreciate the help

Thanks..

Thanks in advance

It depends on the kind of things you like for baby. Eg if you want Ankara cloths then you can find very beautiful ones here but if you want the foreign designs then you will get variety abroad.

Omodadi2:
Good morning house, please a quick question.
Can one mention organizations insurance if one has one that covers childbirth expenses in addition to bank statements? Just curious.

Yes if it covers your giving birth in the US,and make sure you go with evidence to support your claim.

Hi, please is this applicable in Dallas alone or Texas/US. If in all states, can you send the site for booking embassy appointment for notarization.

Thanks

Hello,

I have same issue, I'm in Dallas and my hubby left PH to Abuja to get the notary at the embassy. He has to book appointment and go to the embassy in Lagos or Abuja immediately but in the mean time, change your return date.

Run away from Mary land. I came in 4 weeks ago and I am even wondering if I should not run to another state. I had high bp and was monitored for a night. I did not want to stay in the hospital o, but the doctor did not allow me leave. in 10 days I received a bill of 2000$ For bp monitoring, out of which about 1400$ was for only room cost. This is not even part of the huge hospital fee I will pay during Labour.
If you must come to Maryland, plan for extra payment.
I have been asking them cost of epidural no one has given me. I called the anesthiologist and they asked me to ask the hospital for a code. Called hospital they said 'ask your doctor for a code'. Asked doctor, they gave me a code. Gave the code back to anesthologist they said 'wrong code'.
So I have made up my mind no epidural. Because if I take it without knowing the cost they might send me a bill of 4000$ for epidural alone. They don't joke here.

Which hospital are you using? I used shady groove. The truth is once you decide to give birth don't worry so much about the cost. Ur health matters. Toby is not a fantastic thing to experience in pregnancy. That's why I think one should keep or save 15,000 usd min for the trip

Minimum of three weeks. If u area first, 4 weeks

Good evening everyone. Please is there anyone c9ming to the Us anytime soon. Please all I need is fansidar. I will pay for it. I would appreciate any assistance I can get. Thanks

They will turn down your daughter application during screening because it is a new requirement for you have her picture upload in the application.

Thridbaby:
hello house. DH filled his form today with my daughter & has already book appointment. but some things have been bothering me plz I need to know if we did the right thing.
* I told him to choose b1/b2 but he said his not going for business but to assist me & come back so he choose only b2. I believe I should be d one to fill b2 while he fills b1b2.
* he filled my doctor & hospital address as his contact person.
* my daughter of 3yrs photo refuse to upload so we continued without photo.
NOTE: My interview is in 3weeks, I don't have visa yet that is y am concerned about him using d doctor address. I filled my own form early Dec, he has to wait for his leave to be approved b4 filling his own that was d reason y we didn't fill together.
should he wait until my visa is approved (God's willing) b4 filling his own, that is if we should cancel d 1 he filled today or we should just make correction ? my EDD is 1st week in April.

how does she intend to bring the child back without the US passport?

anizi:
Any Texas Oakbend bound mama's willing to share accomodation from 1st week in March to May? 3 bdr, each room has private bathroom, please let's hook up.

Hi, Anzi.
I am interested. How do i contact you?

I had thought she can travel with the ETC without the US passport, except am wrong..... My line of reasoning is that baby can travel with either US passport or Nigeria Passport. The ETC is in lieu of the Nigeria Passport. US passport can be processed in Nigeria once she arrives

Kindly educate me on this.

Thanks

Not possible. You must get the US passport to travel

ETC is in lieu of Nigerian Visa, not in lieu of a passport.

Sorry, it's auto correct. I meant if you're a first time mum,then 4 weeks should be enough

she can't travel with the baby without a US passport. ETC is to enable the child enter Nigeria just like the Nigerian passport.
US passport can be obtained same day if she walks into the passport office with her flight ticket after booking an appointment via phone. Also, you can process the US passport without SSN
What city is your wife?

@anonymusmum i dnt think u are right. i think you can travel without both and use ETC. VOA is available now so why would you travel with ETC AND US PASSPORT?

Nothing to be sorry about, your story was very interesting and educating.
Honestly I never knew before now that its possible to apply 3x in less than two months and finally get a visa.
Am so happy for your wife, congratulations and wishing your wife safe trip and delivery.
I will also share my testimonies to the house soonest.

VO2 this should help your pay your bills when you get to the US...your visa has been granted....

DW thank you
