Lorit:

Pls again, which hospital are you using in Virginia, I will be Maryland by April. Most of the hospitals that are within my budget are very far from my host, like 3 hours drive. So am thinking if you could share your hospital details, hopefully it’s within by budget and proximity friendly. Thank you, sorry for bugging you pls

It's the longest standing since the creation of this thread and there are always patients from Nigeria. Prices straightforward and no surprises.

Omodadi2:


No, you won't be allowed into the interview with her.

ozymes:
Note that if you refuse to put his name on BC, you will still need proof that you have full custody. Court papers.

Beautyaddy:


That's not true!

A woman can choice to not put the father's name on her child's birth certificate. However, it might become a problem if the woman wants to take the child's father to court for not paying child support.

I had my visa about a Year ago just after my wedding and I informed the VO i was traveling for both tourism and medical reasons. She dnt question further and visa was granted.

Travelled with Qatar airways in Nov. Was referred to port health. After her measurement she records 31weeks and i was actually 34wks and 6days however my bump wadnt so big.
Flight was uneventful, food not friendly too. Bought my ticket through ajala.com and was issued hotel vouchers for my layover at doha. Was treatef nicely by airline staff too.

Atlanta was my POE and final destination. The entry officer asked my purpose of vistit in the us and i replied childbirth. This was where my village people showedup. He referred me to secondary inspection. After waiting for what seemed like eternity i was called in. The officer reiterTed the fact that since i dexlared medical reasons earlier he was fine his only issue was i said florida... so y are u in atlanta. After much talk i finally mentioned i had paid my bills that was when he finally smiled amd said maam you should have said that since. He went ahead to see my receipts from doc and hosp and appointment confirmation letters and stamped me foe 6mths. He tried making a converdation abt y nigerians vandalise pipelines bt i wasnt interested in his gist so he kept quiet. He was nice enough to help wheel all my bags to agric cos i said i had dried bitter leaves with me. He stayed with me and saw me off to the exit door.

Hosp... 4325usd
Doc.....1500usd
Pead.....100usd inc vaccines
Nig passport was exp and gotten in abt 1week
Us passport was gotten in 48hrs(no exp)
3copies of BC was gotten 1week after birth for 35usd. However another copy was mailed to me weeks after.

Tips For Giving Birth in the USA
I have some questions. Please anyone who have had the same experience should let me know what to do. I visited the States last in 2015 and renewed my visa in 2016. I was given 2 years again which expires in August 2018. The current situation now is that I am pregnant and my visa will expire in August which is before due date. My Nigerian passport will also expire in November 2018. I want to have my baby in the US. I have the B1/B2 visa. Does anyone know what I can do to extend my stay and it wouldn't affect me revisiting whenever I intend to? How will i renew my passport if it eventually gets expired while i am still in the States? Any affordable hospitals in Texas? I have a family in Dallas area. But I am open to travelling to another state if it will be more affordabe.

When is the best time I travel knowing that my visa expires in August? How do I apply for my child's passport and how long does it take to get it?

Lastly my mum will also be coming with me but her visa expires the same time as mine. Can her's be extended too?

Any useful information will be helpful. Thank you in advance!

From experience the airline accomodation is for people that bought non promo tickets o

cindermum:


Hi @omodadi2 please I went through your transcript and I was really worried about the refusal.
So I went back to your old transcript when you got the visa. You said to the vo that your budget was 15k after he asked you if u were in contact with a doctor which you said yes . And his next question was how much will this cost you and you said 15k USD. So my question is this , did you show him the budget sheet showing everything was 15k ? Did the vo understand that the trip would cost 15k or did he assume that the hosp bill would cost 15k. Cos that might be what the woman saw and was wondering why she saw 2500 on Ur receiot. I don't know if I make any sense just thinking aloud.
