Lolll. That border don dey call my name o.

Tvegas: Lmao @ MIHS embargo. Anyway, we are people of "the border". Our fellow border mates,we dey hail o! The borders rock,no time for embargo or long reviews.

Make una beg MIHS to soft pedal o. Cant wait for the bill sef. I'm looking at sugarland also. Why don't these docs post their email online?

Airpure: That was 4 years Ago but i called them last week and nothing has changed .

You can call the hospital on 713.757.7477

Their website states 3100 for normal delivery and 4200 for cs

Santa2: I think Dr Fagbohun is about $5770 for normal delivery and $7,280 for Caesarian .

That's including hospital and other fees his doc fees is $2400 for normal delivery.

sayoberry: pls can u give me his email address?

Fagbohunmd@yahoo.com.

seemorejoy: @dserious thanks so much I really appreciate I have email them and I will wait for reply.

Maybe they are avoiding calls because of the impending price review.

GenoMI: Ore mi @MerryMom, how is your wkend? Same here @ first timer, though I plan to go at 36 weeks so I can maximize my 3 months leave . Also trying to figure out the timings especially when to fly back with baby so that I have enough time to settle in back home before work starts. God dey.

Why can't maternity leave be 6months sef. I plan yo go at 35 weeks either to Phoenix or Houston. Men, Dserious this ur POE experience was grande.

Banner maternity package isnt smiling. 24hr stay+epidural is $4, 012. Uncomplicated CS is $7k+ and these are just hospital fees. No physician and other provider fees added.

nefertitiram: Dear All,
I wish I could post a POE story, but I developed severe complications on the day I was to leave for US. I am sure my friend @dinawe who we were supposed to travel together must have been confounded by my disappearance at the airport.
I started bleeding a few hours to my flight, and was rushed to a hosp. I had lost so much blood so they had to carry out an emergency surgery to save my life.
My babies were born at 27 weeks and are currently in an incubator. I am in recovery as well.
In all things I can only give thanks to God, things could have been much worse if I had gotten on that flight.
@dinawe, please reach out to me when you arrive phoenix. This is why I didn't show up for our flight, but I and the babies are safe and sound.

Pele Nef. I pray you and the babies a swift recovery.

Phema: For those going to Phoenix; I tried calling other Hospitals in Phoenix and non has an all-inclusive maternity package like MIHS. They could only tell the hospital fees which is about $3k for almost all of them. You will have to get your own Dr, pay him/her, also pay for epidural, Paediatrician, Aneasthesiologist, laboratory test etc.

However, I got one hospital (Northwest Medical Centre) in Tucson, AZ which offers a maternity package plan (again, just hospital fees) for $1800 and $350 for epidural. Excludes Dr's fees, Paediatrician fees, lab tests etc

This is me, signing out on the searching game. Will just have to wait till I get MIHS new price to make a decision between MIHS and Doctores Para Ti.

Chei! I speak English tire today. From Naija accent to fake American one to even middle eastern one sef, sotey my credit finish. I load another one again, them finish am. I don try!

Pele Phema. Na sotay search I do today and couldn't find a 'sensible' package. I have decided to chill too till that October.

Phema: I guess your going in January? A higher rate starts from January 1st.

I made a reservation, but just cancelled. Want to be sure of where I'm headed.

Yeah I'm headed in January. I didnt book too cos of all these brouhaha with upping rates. I have started looking for alternatives just that most hopspitals don't have these info online like MiHs and el paso. So that means several calls.

I am going to begin my search from arizona and texans because they are border cities.

dserious: Woow @ MIHS price review, not good at all

Oawele, et all, pls help!!!! i had booked an appointment for October 6th with MIHS financials, but i decided to travel earlier and would be there on Monday 22nd. Will i be allowed to pay the old price?

@Dechica congrats on new born, can you kindly share wat your bill was like in Holycross, did they allow for the one night stay thingy we had discussed? i understand their quality of service is pretty good

Thot to share ds for those lukin for affordable hospitals elsewhere, someone mentioned Elkhart General Hospital in Indianapolis i think the package is all inclusive, doc fees, hospital, pre-natal etc

http://www.egh.org/maternitypackage

I saw te package yday but you still have to pay for your testa and epidural fee. MiHs its not good at all o.

Phema: Call them on +18003987829 and tell them you want the extended stay program for Crossland Economy Hotels, McDowell Rd, Phoenix. You should get same rates.

I did call and got rates of 2k+. Have you made reservations yet?

Phema: Abeg, who has tried booking Crossland Economy Hotels through the Extended stay route? Just made a reservation for 60 nights and it ain't cheap at all. I've just 24hrs to cancel the reservation or a 3 night charge will be applied.

Got it at the rate of $26.24 per night till December 31st and $28.49 per night as from January 2014. Total for 60 nights came up to $1626.30 with additional tax of $199.55. Everything summed up to $1825.85. Also, a refundable service charge of $150 on checking in.

Any cheaper option in Phoenix with same facilities as Crossland?

I called on sunday and they said they dont even have the 60 day extended prog anymore. I plan to call biltmore tomorrow.

Tvegas: You and your husband can retrieve submitted forms and fill new DS160 forms as late as a day to the interview . If you submitted the first application not more than 30 days to the day you attempt to retrieve your application. By following these steps

Go to the DS160 page, input your old DS160 code and retrieve submitted forms. Click on cancel old application . The old form submitted will appear,change all the necessary details and print the new confirmation page with the new code. You dont need to tamper with your appointment confirmation. Go to the embassy with the new DS160 confirmation page, the old DS160 confirmation page and the old appointment confirmation initially booked. You should be fine.

God bless u mega. Thank you.

Planning on doing drop-box to renew my visa later this month.

@raii, we might be heading to MIHS together, travelling last week in December.[/quote]Yaaayy. That's cool.

oawele: i advice you wait till i`m back from MIHS, i will try get a clearer pic and you can make a decision with my feedback. cheers

Thank u sir. My hubby had submitted his earlier. Xan one fill a fresh form or prepare to explain during the interview?

I was about to send in my ds-160 form when mihs suddely withdrew their plan. Do I go ahead or just wait till a new plan is out because I used them as my contact org.

MadameU: @ phema and toitoi, let's actually wait to see what reviews may have been applied,and the conditions attached. In the mean time, I suggest we begin searching out alternatives.

As in this theit review get as e be. M lookn at houston but cannot even match mihs cost.

[quote author=toitoi]freshface I can see the link doesn't open , just go to patient information and click price and financial assistance it opens

I see it now. The price is still the same. Na accommodation and visa remain for me now.

toitoi: Phema and freshface check this link you will find it. http://mihs.org/patient-information/price-and-financial-policy.

No wonder they have been stalling on sending my financials

Dammiecouture: okay

Crossland doesn't even have d 60 day extended stay that most mamas use. I have to start searching for alternatives cos im coming in jan 2015

Phema: Crossland rooms smell of smoke?? Wow! I hate odour of any kind ooo. I thought there was a "non smoking policy" in the hotel? Anyways, how much did they charge per night? How long will you be staying there? Were you given a discount and for how much?

Did the POE Officers at San Francisco ask for your Dr's appointment letter from MIHS? I'm just a little concerned since MIHS no longer gives Dr's appointment and also refuse to provide an email correspondence.

Mihs doesnt give appointment letter again? Wahala dey o. No wonder dey have been posting me saying dey will mail my appt and dey avnt.

MadameU: @Dammie,

Please can you advice on other accomodation options aside crosslands the rates for 30days is now over 3000dollars.
Thanks

That's overly expensive. Please MIHS mamas help us.

oyinkay123: please let me know when you get an answer

Advice gotten says state mihs as contact org. Na how to do group appointment scheduling be d ish now.

Please a quick question, in filling my visa app form do I put the hospital as my contact organisation?

IyawoToBe: Hello all. For those who applied and was granted visa as a family, do we have to fill the proxy form to collect your passport? We were given just one collection form, so I want to know if I am expected to sign the proxy form since my hubby was the primary applicant.

My hubby and I intend to apply together and I paid separate visa app fees for us. How do then apply as a couple?

Phema: That can't be difficult na. Fill exactly how long you intend to stay (in days or weeks) and where you intend to stay (name and address of hotel or a relative's place).

Thanks Phema. Was thinking I'd have to put i like the two year visa.

Please I need some clarification. A question in my ds-160 form asked how long I intend to stay in the US and where I'd be staying? What should I fill there?

oawele: To God be the glory, my wife delivered our set of twin at MIHS last week. I was present throughout the whole birth process and i would say they were welcoming, nice and professional.

My wife had a VBAC which went very well and from my experience, the nurses were nice and wonderful, most expeccially the nurse that was in charge of my wife during labour.

In all i like their services and i wuld use them again if i had to........but in the mean time family planning mode activated

Thank you all ......

Congrats oawele. Activate am well o

cfcchick: Pls excuse my ignorance, watz financial appointment? When I get to phoenix I'll call to book appointment with the hospital or b4 I leave naija.i had my 1st baby in Chicago 2 years ago I didn't get any financial appointment..I got d bill after d service and I paid.

Most mommas called to get evidence of contact with the hospitals and the bill to be paid. Its for d visa interview and POE may require it also.

MadameU: cfcchick]
Thats great...I have my visa already. Not gonna stay in Crossland thou.still browsing for other apartments but might consider palm shadows.

@ cfc please what procedure did you follow to get a fianancial appointment. ive mailed and called but no luck.

U av to call them and depending on the person you speak to; them may refuse to mail it to you. Also, have the date you will be visiting for your first appointment ready cose dey will ask. That's what happened to me.
