Thanks a lot for the feedback @veeveezu.

I'll go ahead and apply for the VOA.

Hello House,

Please can someone change to a different hospital other than the one that was used in the Visa application when one arrives the USA?

peacenigeria:


Its best not to have any type of information contrary to what you used in your application. VO Officers are using anything as an excuse to deny Visa and this could be seen as misrepresentation since the new price may be different than what you advised you were paying and for what you were approved for.

twinboyandgirl:
Thanks Peacenigeria.
Not at the visa interview o. Ofcourse the interview would state the hospital used in the application. I mean when one gets to the US say something happens and you want to change hospital or doctor.

peacenigeria:

Do what you told the VO you would do to avoid any possible issues when you renew your visa. You want to avoid any inconsistencies in your story that may be seen as misrepresentation. Having different hospitals/doctors with different prices may not be in your best interest.

But what if the planned hospital treats you like trash when you get there and make you very uncomfortable. Shouldn't you change to somewhere you would feel more safe?

Just read about emirates pregnancy policy on google. But off the top of my head, u don’t need a report till u’re 36 weeks

alexandramylee:
“If you are pregnant and plan to travel on Emirates once you have entered your 29th week of pregnancy, a medical certificate or letter signed by an appropriately qualified doctor or midwife is required, stating:

the confirmation of a singleton or multiple pregnancy
the pregnancy is progressing without complications
the estimated date of delivery
that you are in good health
that there is no reason known to them that would prevent you from flying

Please note that if you choose not to carry a medical certificate, you may not be accepted for travel if there is any doubt about your ability to complete the journey safely.”

Please can I get any contact in Chicago that can assist me visit John stroger cook county hospital in Chicago to help me get my itemized bill and zero balance statement? I don’t mind paying a fee for that. Tried to renew my visa but was denied because I don’t have an itemized bill. I have tried reaching the hospital but they advise I sent a representative for ease. I had my daughter in September 2017 and I used the self pay package. All bills were paid but I didn’t get an itemized receipt and zero balance confirmation.
