Info is verified.... I understand mamas have got to just pull these stunts for the unborn child's sake somehow someway! Unless things have changed in the past few days (less than a week), she or whoever scheduled her appointment definitely saw it and decided to pick the "REGULAR" option, and I hardly see that not backfiring. There is a purpose for this new development, if contravened (misrepresentation that is), I believe there will be inescapable repercussion.... These are not sweet times for the embassy it seems!

I also think that those refused a visa and that are intent on securing a quick appointment date in succession should please be wary of those that will promise to help them get interview appointment dates, they will simply just pick REGULAR on your behalf, use it to schedule an interview and abandon you to fate thereafter.

See gbege!

Lol aunty wurah, u want to go and spend millions of Naira but won't even bother to research .

Oya check for oakbend medical center and Houston northwest medical center to have an idea on the cost of birthing In Houston.
There are many other hospitals you can choose from In houston. Go to the search bar and narrow your search to travel, You will see alot of information. Also go to page 0 of this thread to see other information that will b useful to you.

Hello House,

I have followed this thread and it has been super helpful to me. Thank you to all who have contributed.

Please I need urgent help.

I'll be travelling to Atlanta for delivery and I need an affordable Hospital and DR. I can't seem to lay my hands on any affordable one. They're totalling $9k and above for Hospital and DR alone(for Normal Delivery o)

Please I need a referal to a hospital and Dr that won't be more than $6k or & $6k5 for everything(I.e including pead and anast) for Normal Delivery.

Atlanta veterans please help!!!!

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by ladeonas: 9:53am On Jun 05, 2018
I am Here to thank God Almighty:

Firstly for seeing me through my baby delivery days. Yes this is my second delivery and last one. The first was a Boy virginal and the second are triplets(2boys & a Girl)

The first time was a smooth sail. I did not realize how merciful God can be. Everything was already sorted by my Husband and uncle in the states.

For the triplets it was a drop-box also easy, however the coming back and settling the bills was a mountain I cant believe I scaled. Please Praise the Lord with me d 3 babies came out Via CS healthy NO incubator bill($1,500/night/baby).

Paid $320 for 2 of my babies and I found out that the 3rd baby would have to buy a specialized car seat and pay almost $2,000 for a one-way trip. Praise the Lord again for me ooo. I found a distant uncle coming to Naijs for a month leaving on the same day we were leaving. That how we paid only $220, can u imagine cheaper than the 2 going with us.


POE- The CBP officer asked us how long we were here for,(I and DH came in on the different days however we had same experience) DH said he will be around for 2 months and I will be around for 4months plus.


CBP asked no question about payment or all, just sent us to Agric section, we came in via LAX around 2pm with Virgin Airlines. He stamped us in.


The black American CBP officer in Agric was very friendly

I had my babies at Methodist Mansfield Medical centre.
My bill was:

Doctor c-section - $3,200 ( Includes ante-natal, all lab test and ultrasound)

Anesthesia - $1,270

Hospital- $8,000 (included Hearing Test)

Lab done at the hospital for me and babies, Total was $320

Pediatrician – sent $3,200 ( 3 days hospital visit) – still negoiating

Paid $320 to my pediatrician for 2weeks newborn screening (Not mandatory)

Circumcision – done in Niaja


Did visa on arrival paid $570.


Thank God for His infinite mercies, mother, father and babies are doing well and are back home. It is all by the grace of God.

Sorry about your experience at the POE. God is in control. Why did you mention aborting mission if one is using H stroger? I plan on using there


[ author=Brandagencies post=68130165]Hello everyone, I am in Chicago now and I MUST give back. It was a horrible experience but I got in.
I too+234 818 526 3222k the BA flight and arrived Chicago for 11;30.
CBP- good morning how are u and why are u here?
Me: good morning , vacation and to birth my baby.
CBP: Stands up to meet another officer, comes aback and says this way ma( secondary things☹️)
After sitting a while a middle aged woman calls me
CBP 2: madam, can I have confirmation that the hospital has accepted to treat u?
Me: stroger doesn’t give correspondence but here is the medical number opened for me it has my dates and my first appointment
CBP: that is not my job. What u have her is crap.
Me: Crap ke? Call first na!!( this point, I was already tired from the long journey)
CBP2: how much do u have
Me: 6900 in cash and 7000 In my wells card
CBP2: Go sit down, I’ll call u later.
Approximately 15mins after, she calls me in with a superior.
CBP: madam, these information u provided are not valid , we are sending u home.
Me: Home? Why? I can pay for these things( I begin analyse bla bla)
CBP: let me have ur phone and it’s password, please sit down.
Another 30mins after
CBP: you read nairaland?
Me: Yes
CBP: that nairaland devices u all, u should ask the us govt ur questions not a bunch of guessers
Me: I did contact the govt on a change of intent.
CBP: well, ure only allowed to birth here if Baby is high risk and ur doctor in Nigeria confirms it and u have an acceptance from a doctor here. You Nigerians just disgust me, coming here to quote what laws u don’t make. You are a burden to our govt. you just want to show off that ur baby has a passport:
Me: trying to defend myself
CBP: shut Up.
At this time, they had gone through all my phone emails and WhatsApp messages. Nothing to mail me with.
She comes back to ask for my contacts number and proceeds to call her. Requesting that my host sends me back because 6400 is not a reasonable fee to pay and I cannot afford it. My host insists that was the self pay package and she would use her insurance to cover if there are emergencies.
Me: very worried, already seeing them process travel docs for other pregnant women who have been turned back,some since yesterday. I had already started crying.
CBP : so madam, u will be going back home let me get approval from my superior.
10 mins later, please go get ur bags we need to check.
Me: with my big belle I run go carry luggage( I had just a cabin size box and a well wrapped ghana must go
CBP: all these clothes are too much ( biko which clothes)
Senior CBP patapata: madam, when was ur visa issued
Me: 2016
SCBP: it wasn’t given to birth
Me: yes, it was for a conference which I attended and I was not pregnant and then.
SCBP: ok ma, I will allow u into the USA but please show receipts on ur way out( she had a passport to junior CBP
Junior CBP: collects my passport and arrogantly stamps me in for 10weeks. Saying if I present a receipt less than 20k dollars on my way out, no visa will be resissued
Me: thank u ma.
CBP: Now very Angry, don’t thank me, looking at u disgusts me, just leave my sight before I puke.
Me: quickly carries my bag.
Moral :
1. It is now illegal to birth in USA if the birth can be handled in Nigeria( they showed me proof of that o)
2. Abort mission if ure using H Stroger.
3. Make sure u tell everyone u chat with that ure coming back
4. Hold cash of all the money u need.
5. Stay far from Ohare.

This is where I drop my pen.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by tmd(f): 2:40pm On Jun 05, 2018
I used Grady health system for my first and Northside hospital for my second.
For north side it's $3550 for a vaginal birth for self-pay patients, Pediatrics $300 approximately, Anesthesia $1000 approximately for epidural. I used Riverbend Ob-Gyn and it's a $3000 flat rate for both vaginal birth and CS for doctors fee. Grady is higher than this. I 'll suggest you go to north side hospitals site and check out their doctors profile you should be able to get something lower than $3000 for doctors fee. Don't forget to consider distance from where you 'll reside to the doctors office also.
All the best.
