Hello princessrbt,

The Consular Officer may ask to see your passport data page, but if this is just for a tourist visa, she will not need an affidavit of support.

Regards,

I am still waiting for someone who has given birth in Alaska to come forward....* on a lighter mood*

PrinceAdeAde:
I think another way to circumvent all these horrible POE experience would be to board a connecting international flight and have your POE at the connecting point. I believe they may be unable to delay you beyond a reasonable time due to your connecting flights on the airline
Airlines usually come looking for their passengers to avoid delay and refunds as the delay is not your fault

Just thinking this may help except someone had an experience faulting the above assumptions

Lorlahbee:
@Princessrbt thanks so much for ur response, is the package for doctor and hospital fees?

Lorlahbee:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, please can anyone help with cheap hospitals in Dallas pleaseeeeee I need this info asap. Congrats Boney.

temmytanny:
it all depends on you.she came in when she was 6 months and also her body shape Neva looked like someone that is pregnant. Even wen she was 9 months, you would think she is just 6 months

temmytanny:
no appointment,once you land US,you can go and visit them for the package

seemorejoy:
Pls does the JPS package cover the cost of Doctor and Hospital? Or is just for the Hospital

temmytanny:
normal charges is 4k but birth tru c n s is extra 1k.your package covers some lab tests but not all,I think just 2lab tests.it doesn't cover epidural. They accept new patients all the time provided you make your payments before delivery. For c n s, please budget 6500$

Dzizz:
abeg teamtanny, how much exactly is it for normal delivery and planned CS at JPS. U mentioned $4k and $5k respectively. Are these amounts just only the hospital's charges for delivery or for everything including OBGYN, Paed fees, lab work, epidural? How much grand total do i budget for an elective CS? Also after how many weeks of pregnancy do they stop accepting a new patient. Please reply and help a sister

nefertitiram: Hi All,
I lost my babies, poor handling in ICU here in Nigeria, even at 7 months. Another reason why everybody needs to have their baby in the US! I pray no one experiences this kind of loss in Jesus Name,
I have managed to move on. Time to go back to the drawing board, sad loss after trying for a number of years.
I cannot question God.

Flowers: @ princessrbt: pls wat do u mean by OB pack? And does 4500 cover both doc and hospital bill in JPS?

ashleybaker: @Santa2: How come your friend spent $4,500 in John Peters when I got this quote from them. Hmmmmm!!!!!!
Hi, thank you for your email. I would like to provide any information you are asking so if I fail to answer your questions, please do not hesitate to reply with any additional requests. Here are some estimated charges, that should be regarded as estimates based on previous charges for a delivery at JPS Health Network and not necessarily what charges would be after a delivery.



Non-Emergent Normal Vaginal Delivery - $8,000 to $15,000 – does not include doctor, anesthesia, radiology, prenatal care or baby
Non-Emergent Caesarian Delivery - $15,000 to $20,000 – does not include doctor, anesthesia, radiology, prenatal care or baby
Newborn Baby - $6,000 – does not include intensive care or care provided outside of newborn nursery



Thank you again for your question, please let me know if I can help any further.



James Smith


@Ashleybaker, you both are right. if you inquire through email, the response you get is the email you got, but if you call and ask for their Ob pack, they.will tell you it's $4500. I got thesame huge amount too when I inquire through email.

Flowers: Hello All, I would be heading to Dallas for delivery in December. I like to know if anyone is heading same direction in Dec. I need company and don't want to be so bored as most people seem to be heading to Elpaso and Mihs.

Can anyone help me with addresses of stores that sell Nigerian food stuff?

tyty24: Thank you so much princessrbt. I eventually called the hospital and these were the chargesgiven to me by Shannon.

hospital bill-2000 USD. lab test ranges between 100-200 USD.

But she (Shannon) told me to ask someone based in the city to book an appointment for me. Requested from my cousin if she could assist in doing so but she seems to be busy with school/exams.

I 'm really running out of time because I'm yet to get a letter from the hospital and also contact a doctor.

I intend to leave for US mid Sept. I know I will need these documents/info at the POE.

so please how can you assist.

tyty24: Thank you so much I don't mind if youbcan assist me .

tyty24: y

yes please can we get email or phone number. really need to make up my mind asap.

spokesboy: Dear Princessrbt, can you supply the contact details (email and phone number) of Matlock ObyGyn. My wife is scheduled to travel for delivery in December 2014 and she'll be residing in Arlington. Thanks

Mrsfad2014: @Princesrbt, I wouldn't mind Dallas seriously. But what's the cost of delivery?also kindly link me with the accommodation. Self catering is an apartment where I can make food my myself, possibly an apartment with all furnitures.

Mrsfad2014: Hello House, I sent a mail to Dr La at WHMC and got a reply that his fee is $3400 excluding pediatric and some other things. I feel that's too much, can anyone in the house help me with any other good Doctor that will not charge this much in WHMC. Thanks

tyty24: Hi people, I have followed the message threads and I would like to
thank everyone who has contributed positively to this forum.
But I have sone few concerns and I need some urgent suggestions.
I applied while single for a B1/B2 non immigrant visa un 2012 and I
was issued a 2 year visa which will be expiring in december this year.
I got married last year and I'm 5 months pregnant will be due in nov.
I travelled in may this year and returned in june with no hassles.
Let me go straight to the point.I intend to have my first baby in the
US. but is it advisable I still use my valid visa and make my intentions
known when I get to the POEand I present my marriage certificate to
them or should I renew my visa?
I will be residing in arlington Dallas. does anyone have any idea of an
affordable hospital and a doctor one can contact for gynae.
