mamatwiny: I have no personal experience...but here are 2 mamas that have used birthing centers from thread 5 page 289 and one said she renewed...this was some time ago though.... @olukemiyemi @jordie Note that a few mamas trying to renew visas said VOs rejected them based on "the cost is too low" for regular hospitals (not birthing centers)....so...as usual depends on the VO |

[quote author=ugoguchy post=64424527]i got previous visa in december 2014,went for vacation that december,had my baby in may 2015,and also oct 2016,sept 2017 i did a drop box for renewal in abj was called for an interview and was denied,reason was that i didnt declare my intention during the interview,if you have read my thread on this page you will see my transcript when i got the visa,i was asked if i was pregnant and if i would give birth in the US which i said yes,so i was confused and the VO said nothing of that such was in my transcript,felt very bad and cried home...december last year went for the 2nd interview in abj again and was denied,same reason... i came here and some people encouraged me to try again but this time to lagos and some said no need just give up,was really determined to try again,renewed my passport and applied for the 3rd time but to lagos(all these while i was applying for vacation,this time i applied for a medical visa straight up),applied for an emergency appt and it was approved after 3days (tension wan kill me),went for my interview by 6:30am,one of the CGI ladies saw my condition and fast tracked me... congrats.... waiting for Omodadi's favour report too |

The web-page given to us for payment by the hospital (mercy medical maryland) can't be reached from Nigeria and my wife and I have called the hospital several time to explain our difficulties but to no avail. 1. Should I call the hospital and explain to them my plans of coming over there to pay 2. Is it possible that we might have been flagged by the hospital at the embassy within last year and now?? 3. Can I apply at the embassy as tourist telling them am married but will be traveling alone and since my wife still have a valid visa we can both travel any other time we wish |

mamaron: Why in theory? I will be going towards the end of expiry and will renew when i get back. I hope this won't pose as a problem. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by OmoBendel24: 10:22am On Jan 23, 2018 |
okoji: It holds both in theory and practical.... Your visa grants you access to knock at the US door whether it's a day left of its validity or 1 year+11months+4wks, it's however up to CBP to open or lock you out. Worry more about CBP standards. My wife has at a time entered the US for VACATION purpose with just a day left on her visa without issues. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by OmoBendel24: 10:29am On Jan 23, 2018 |
mayorkays: The observation here from my POV ab initio is that the third question you asked now is actually your most likely thought out plan that you need validation for, and you have officially asked. Well, that route is twists and turns laden because of that remaining unpaid birthing bills by your wife and you, and can easily back fire too, do deep consideration before proceeding. Find a way round it, the bill can be paid without you going to the US and most importantly before your interview, unless your mind is made on doing otherwise already sha.... 1 Like |

Whether you go on tourist visa or not, as long as you state your marital status and your spouses' name gets into the column in that section, it automatically raises a red flag for them to ask for proof of payments. And if the hospital has notified them on the matter, and long thing. a friend of mine has been trying to get a visa and he even had an interesting chat with one of his VOs during his second interview who somehow inclined at the fact that his wife's application was dishonest as she didn't state she was married and had a baby in the US and my friend filled both son and DW names in application. She has tried to reapply twice as they are expecting a baby and she's been denied. However, peoples' cases are peculiar but i think as you've been advised, try and find a way of paying up before your interview and get updated receipts. IMO OmoBendel24: |

Hi house, This is Viola once again, just like i earlier stated, i got B1B2 visa in sept 2017 later took in oct.2017. I brought the issue here, though DH also was seeking answers both on and offline. He came back one day and we both decided to try again by redeclaring our intent. We paid and booked for interview for today. Below is the transcript: VO: good morning and how are you today Me: morning, fine thank you. VO: what are you here for, then opened my passport and saw that i already have 1yr8months valid visa. Me: i became pregnant after i was issued the visa so i'm here to redeclare my intent. I now want to have my baby in the US. VO: wait a minute, then went inside with my passport For about 3mins. Then came back, "show me proof Of how you will fund the trip" Me: handed over doctors correspondence(which she didn't check), account statement(gtb $ acc, Fidelity naira acc and DH's office cooperative acc). VO: stated calmy; you dont have enough money for this trip, based on what is stated here. Me: i then looked and saw that she was refering to 1st amount in the front page of DH's fidelity bank statement. Ma'am please get to the last page you'll see the closing balance of over xxxx plus another $xxxx in GTB dom acc. VO: okay great, stop being nervous, just calm down. Me: thanks ma'am with a pleasant smile. VO: where in the US are you going? Me: California VO: how did you get to know of the hospital Me: from my aunt and other online reviews VO: where does ur hubby work, howmuch does he earn and how much do you earn Me: i told her and wanted to bring out DHs payslip but she asked me not to. VO: there are 2 ways to this, i can allow u go with the valid visa because u came back to redeclare ur intent which I have updated in your profile or I can cancel it and issue you another one, so chose. Me: cancel without prejudice and issue me another visa VO: okay, now listening carefully, pay all your bill and stay clear of medicaid. Donot claim to be a Californian, always let them know you are from nig. Congrats xxxxxxxxxx Me: thank you. Thanks house for all the suggestions and please ignore any typo noticed cos I DON TIRE, LO IS KICKING BADLY INSIDE ME THIS HOT AFTERNOON. 36 Likes 1 Share |

okoji: It all depends on the hospital. My hospital collected 5k. A lady I met here said Lagoon was requesting 30k so she declined. Most private hospitals in Nigeria collect money for doctor's report. It's the price that varies. If your hospital didn't ask for any payment, you're lucky. 1 Like |

It is well. Just apply for charity organisations. A friend had a similar story with her twin boys and the bill was higher but it's been cleared with the help of a charity organisation aid not medic aid Even when I had a similar experience. Supernaturalone: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by oluwafunkenny: 7:45pm On Jan 23, 2018 |
@ temyb, l beg to disagree to your decision of obtaining charity organisations aid. AID is AID whatever in it's form. This will be in her record that she couldn't pay her bill and as a result requested for assistance. The bill is very high fine but using aid to clear it might be more dangerous. My view anyway...... Gurus can shed more light. temyb: |

Pls I want to ask, does anyone know the procedure for Ethiopia airline Fit to fly? I saw on their website that you only need a fit to fly if you are above 28weeks,but called their Lagos office just to inquire about what they wrote online, only to be told that I have to go to their VI office for their Dr to conduct his own test and pay N10,000 before they can issue me their fit to fly. And am not up to 28weeks. Pls who has experience abt this? Pls I need an urgent reply pls. Thanks |
