To use Oakbend now, you would have to pay the new rates which is $5450 for vaginal birth. That's minus physician fees. Only for facility

wow!!! That’s pricey oo compared to how cheap I heard they were. I’ll check Northside Hospital . Thanks dear.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for making this thread so helpful. I arrived new jersey today via delta airline, a direct flight from Lagos to JFK and then to New Jersey by road. The journey was smooth and the food OK too. POE was so smooth..

Hi @ mamaron and BCpump. N other experienced mamas and papas I need your help sort out the Nigerian passports for LO ....biko your help is needed urgently.. Thanks for your explanation... I just want to ask some questions that is confusing me with the money order for Nig passport application...
1) it's the applicant's name(baby) that will b on the money order that I buy not the mothers name baa?
2) pls do u remember how u got the trackn number they want us to put on the money order? ... Is it the one they ll give in the USPS?
3) it's after you got the money order and sent to innovate 1services that u go back n complete the application
4) the 30usd money order they talked abt in the NIS site is it for real... Lost pple here say they weren't asked for any other monies alert frm the 77usd?
Thanks in anticipation... It was difficult to pm you

I got the money orders from the USPS United States Postal Service aka post office They charge a small fee so if the money order is $77 you pay $79 or so.

The Nigeria consulate accepts credit/debit cards..you get re-routed to Innovate Services website which is a 3rd party that they have outsourced the payments to and the card payment can be done online....but the rules are so many...youll see the long list of dos and donts on the website e.g. the cards must be in the name of the applicant etc...i was nervous that my payment would not go through....so I didn't bother.

U.S. passport office accepts cards and cash (exact amount) as well as money order.

Hi guys!! so ive been a silent follower on this thread and trust me i read through all the pages and picked up plenty useful tips that helped myself and DW before we traveled...POE and even before delivery. We had our baby boy last week!! and it was here in Atlanta (Atlanta Medical Center).
The Hospital fee was $3200 and the doctors fee was $1000 and $50 for each of the six prenatal visits! We are still waiting for our clearance letter for all the bills tho...but im thankful that everything is in order so far. currently we are using south-side medical center pediatrics and each visit cost $60. i just want to thank all the guys sharing useful tips on here and useful experiences...God bless y'all.

I'll share my own poe experience and that of my wife later tho...cuz we traveled on separate dates.

hi dear. Congrats on your delivery. Please I would be heading to Atlanta in July to have my baby, but I still haven’t finalized what hospital to use. Could you pls give me a break down for any other cost I’m likely to incure If I use Atlanta medical center? I.e citcumcision fee, pediatrician ,epidural, etc, also it would be nice if you could send me the hospital’s email address or a docto’s email I can reach. I’m a first time mom, so really have no clue. Thanks and God bless.

Can't she just send a change of intent e-mail?

MCareNetwork:


Apply for a new visa for this medical need. Declare your intention to the VO, asking for a new visa and a revocation of the one you just received.

Ebony84:
Can't she just send a change of intent e-mail?

The thing is she might have issues at the port of entry when she eventually shows up for childbirth as opposed to holiday. If she scales through now, not sure she will scale through for renewal cos there's nothing she would say to convince the vo that childbirth wasn't her primary motive. I would ve said she should first use the visa for the purpose it was obtained but there's no money to throw around. So she either risks it by sending change of intent (this won't be in your file) or reapply to declare her intentions . Search for Viola2017's transcript, she did the same. She forfeited her previous visa for a medical visa. Then again what worked for her might not work for you. At the end of the day the decision is hers to make.

All of you people flying KLM and BA una be multimillionaires ohh..checked their fare yesterday I dey see like a million plus for just normal economy..Never knew it is as expensive as that.

The likes of Emirates are co are not as expensive as that but the hours you will use in the sky is just too long..I mean do they allow pregnant women to fly 16hours non stop?I wonder if pregnant women can survive that far distance or am I just being afraid

Tripletmom:
POE experience (Washington Dulles)
Travelled via Turkish airline at 32wk,3 days ago.
Had my fit to fly from my doctor but was requested to do d FAAN medical certificate.
Inflight entertainment was ok and food was just there, no preferential treatment of any sort, had eight hours stop over at Istanbul.
When we were about boarding to Washington was asked if I am pregnant and the lady officer requested to see my return ticket.
Arrived at the airport 7:30pm US time.
Had to rearrange myself bfor I joined the queue.Brought out all my paper works n cash.
While on the queue sighted a black CBP drilling a naija girl next thing dropped her passport inside the box with red cover.
Then palpitation began,was just praying not to be sent to him.
The lady directing then passes me to join a White CBP officer’s line,I quickly did but still continued my silent prayer with smile.
As God will have it, another black CBP entered his cubicle and shouted next!!! I hurriedly dragged my hand luggage and went to him.

Me:Good evening Officer
CBP:Good evening madam, why are you in the US.

It was Jst God grace, wishing all others mamas safe trip and successful POE

Please, Virginia mum’s, help with accommodation.

Thanks

congrats dear. Pls did u have any doctor’s corrrspondence with you at the Poe? The hospital I want to use is saying I can’t make any payment to them until I come in person and start pre/registration blah blah which is fine by me. But my worry is won’t it be an issue if I have enough cash on me but don’t have any doctor or hospital correspondence ?

Awesome777:
I still need response o...anybody who can help

sorry my reply is coming late. Just saw your post now while going through the thread. You can give birth in the USA with ur visiting visa, it is not a crime , u don’t even have to send any letter of intent . My sister went with her visiting visa, told them she came for vacation and childbirth , and they let her through provided you have enough money on you to proof to them that you wouldn’t be a burden to the us government by using their Medicaid n u can afford to pay ur bills. Google if u can give birth in the USA with visiting visa and u would see you can

Hello Teny4, please i sent you an email, could you please respond, i will be in new jersey on monday. Thanks.

I don't think it's an issue if you don't have a doc's correspondence. The major issue is have enough cash. Tell them you communicated through phone with the doc and that they don't make payment before hand. But let the doc or hospital send you their self pay bill. And also make sure to have the docs name and phone number. Good luck!

Hello Mummies,
Please I need guidance on car seat requirements. My hubby arrives Houston with our 2+ year old, is car seat required for him to leave the airport and when we move around. Mummies that have travelled with toddlers how did you manage, doesn't seem practical carrying toddler car seat about

How will you be getting around? If you will be riding in a car, yes it is required. I might add, required for the toddler and the baby. Yes it will be annoying, but safety first and if you are caught , a fine may be assessed. There are options available, renting one from the car rental agency. Or u might buy one outright. There are many different travel systems that can accomodate your needs. U will need to use google.

More insight requested from fellow posters..

Having alot of cash isn't enough. I read somewhere in part 2 abi 3 not sure where a woman had 18k but didn't ve a hospital neither did she have a Dr and She was sent back. Please call the hospital and tell them to give you an email address or you ask them to mail you the self pay package. This way the CBP is assured you won't become a burden.

Do not go without one please. Better to be over prepared.

Please Gurus in the house. I applied for Visa last month and was denied. Now I want to apply again, this time around with my husband. Please what will he fill his reason as. Will my husband own be visiting tourism while mine medical tourism. Or we both medical tourism.
Or should I apply alone without my hubby and 2yrs.
2ndly if we don have anybody in USA should we use our doctor's office address as contact person or should we use the in town suites address as contact person in USA

Pls wats der full bill for CS both hospital and doctor epidural pediatrician

[quote author=Cretaceous post=67087840]My wife's interview was today.
Transcript:

VO: Good morning
W: GM
VO: Your passport, please
VO: Why are you going to the US?
W: To have my baby?
VO: Where are you going to in the US?
W: Houston Texas
VO: Why Houston Texas?
W: *confused* wasn't sure if he meant why the US or why Texas and not any other states in the US.
W: it was based on a friend’s recommendation.
VO: looked up, (like, not convinced)
W: reads body language then says: for dual citizenship purposes and access to better medical health care.
VO: Where do you work?
W: I work at….as a....I’m in charge of….
VO: How many years have you been working?
W: 3 years
VO: Where does your husband work?
W: He is a …. He works at ....
VO: Have you traveled before?
W: No
VO: Has your husband traveled before?
W: Yes
VO: Can I see his passport?
W: Passes my passport to VO. I also have an intro letter from his coy, would you like to see it?
VO: Yes, please.
W: tosses it
VO: I would like to see bank statement, correspondence, and budget sheet?
W: passes all three documents to him.
VO: Which hospital?
W: Houston Medi…VO interjects and completes it.
W: yes
VO: Where will you be staying?
W: Precious cedar mother care.
VO: Do they have a mother care package?
W: Yes. Passes a printout of the package.
VO: Where is precious cedar?
W: Richmond
VO: Are you married?
W: Yes
VO: When?
W: xxxx. I have the marriage certificate here, would you like to see it?
VO: Yes, please
VO: passes a white paper and says pick up visa after three days.

Advice from my wife:
Be organized. Make sure all your documents are well arranged and you can easily reach them.
VO looked at the bank statement and focused on where there were bulk transfers but he didn’t pick it because he noticed those transfers were from my company. So, avoid bulk transfers.
And lastly, take the initiative, read body language and ask to show them documents that you think can help you.

Thanks everyone


Hello Cretaceous,

Can you please share budget sheet of Houston Medical Centre with me.

I have also contacted Precious Cedar Mother Care for the package.

Thank you.

My dear nairalanders,
I applied for my first us visa in 2014 to have my first child. Denied.
Applied to have my second child this year in March (posted the transcript earlier). Denied again

So I decided to apply again for the visa. I took time to fill my ds-160. In the space where they asked have you been denied a us visa before. I said Yes, and explained several reasons to contradict why I thought I was denied. In the space for employment, I also described what I do in my company with plenty story .

Lagos dates were not looking favourable so I decided to pick Abuja.

On top visa only God knows how much I have spent. Visa fee twice, flight ticket to Abuja, hotel in Abuja, taxi to move around. It is well.

My interview was scheduled for 7:30 am this morning. I'm sure my burden of proof was more than Phemas own sef.

There were 3 ladies and a guy doing interviews. The three ladies were more thorough, asking plenty questions and requesting for documents. The guy on the other hand was sharp sharp. Denying people like water in less than a minute. I was just praying to God that I should not go to the guy. Alas it was my turn and I was asked to go to him. I just braced myself and said babe let's do this.

Vo: pass me your passport please
Me: hands it over

Vo: How are you doing today?
Me: Very well thank you

Vo: I see you're going to Richmond Texas, when is your exact due date
Me: (Said the month and day). I'm currently 6 months pregnant

Vo: You work at Bleep? (I guess he Saw that on my ds-160)
Me: Yes I do. I am a manager in the Bleep dept

Vo: How much do you earn per month?
Me: I earn Bleep on the average although it varies monthly. So Bleep is just an average

Vo: where does your husband work?
Me: He works in Bleep as an Bleep. Also explained his job role briefly.

Vo: How long has been working there?
Me: 6 years. He started working there in 2012

Vo: How much does he earn?
Me: He earns about xx annually, in addition to a yearly bonus of Bleep per annum. So on the average he earns Bleep (which was not accurate. My maths skills suddenly failed me, and I stammered)

Vo: Does your husband have a us visa?
Me: No he doesn't

Vo: I see you were here in March. What has changed since that time?
Me: I believe I did not present my financial situation properly. I have a mutual funds which has now matured and has been transferred to my account. I have access to the funds now. I also brought a 3 month bank statement the last time but now I have a 6 month bank statement which further shows my financial situation.

Vo: How long are you staying in the US?
Me: two months. I intend to travel at the end of June and be back by the end of August

Vo: do you have a child?
Me: Yes I have a son

Vo: How old is He?
Me: He's 3 years old

Vo: Thank you ma'am for attending this interview with the us embassy
Me: (At this point I was already scared cos that's the tone he used to reject all the others) Your visa has been approved!

I didn't hear a word of what he said after that. I don't even know how my legs carried me out of that place

No single document checked! I just thank God for favor. I've been praying and believing God since I applied, thank God he came through for me

My advice of course would be to pray very well and believe God. Cos sometimes it's not about the truckload of documents you bring.
Also be smart. Prayer can't do everything. We are very religious in this country and believe only prayer would solve everything. Prayer just helps after you have done the necessary things in the natural.

Dress well. It boosts your confidence. I fixed human hair, did makeup wore a jacket and heels. One woman even said ahn ahn , sexy pregnant woman.

Also take charge of the interview. If he asks a question, give him more details than what was asked. Don't just stand there giving one liners and waiting for the questions to be asked. Their default predisposition is to reject you, so you need to give them a reason to give you the visa by showing you know what you are saying.

All the best to future applicants!

Hello,

I'm sending you a pm shortly please reply. I'm new here an would like to get details of your doctor/hospital. I'm having my baby in a few months in the US as we Thank you.
