quote author=shagaman post=31080674]

I got ticket online,American airlines,had someone buy it for me from here,but you can try it since its onoine you should be able to buy just leave like 2hrs after your landing time here because of poe and baggae clearance.

isysleek Abeg no vex, just got back to Naija and was so tired to check my mails. I hope apologies accepted...oyaa smile abeg,ok to the main things requested

1) child Birth given on Docsperati website is correct no addition or subtraction.

2) Babies papers immediately after birth its best to tell the lady collecting documentations that you are in a hurry to return to nigeria so BC can come out with a week ours we made a mistake and just relaxed it came out after 3 weeks.

3) check www.epcounty.com for bc after like a week to start monitoring once name is out next is to go to the county office for birth certificate it would cost like $46 dollars to get 2,its safe to get 2...Bus fare is $1.50 but cab is like $30

4) After BC collection proceed to American passport office to get baby Blue Passport which cost $165 endure you take exact amount because they dont always have time to be looking for change for you. The location for bc collection and passport issuance are walking distance to each other

5) we got ours in 2 days submiited on frday and monday by 2 it was ready.

4) Expedited Nigerian visa cost us $350 ,one day and we used courier service of $79 because we did not want stories that touch also you would buy return envelop budget like $4 for that.

all my baby documentation was out withing 3 days after the bc came out but to be on safe sie plan a week after BC.

Money order for Naija passport was bought at walmart which is a walking distance from intown suites.

Rough estimate ----Hospital bill $5400

pediatician --------$60

we dint do hearing test w dont have hearing problem for my house...... ,if you accept budget like $200 for that

Baby piercing was like $100

Intown suites double bed is $239.00 per week,single is like $179 per week include tax of $40 for first payment.

All in all with $10k you are good to go just have like $3k misscellenous.

Once again apologies for late response.

This one people have started planning another return for birthing ...hmmmm let me think about it sha ...oyaaa let me ask madam if i can start jogging around for another duty ...

A special thank you to all members of this thread oooo,we learnt alot and decided Elpaso from here,May GOD replenish our pockets and give our wives strength,and for all expectant mothers ,we shall be here to rejoice with everyone...

Oga Tvegas i hail ooooo,Phema,Kisluv,Ogaa Ade,zeezahbee,

Thanks for the info. I made a reservation online for a room at in town suites today but l was allowed only a 31 days booking which ends in June. I hope when I get there they will not tell me that somebody else has booked the room for July. I also saw a tax fee of $43.75. Is it weekly or a one time payment? How can I get in touch with you, please?

Apologies for late response, on the room no issues you would get your room,the tax fee is one time and you are entitled to tax refund after month which would be added to your bill if you are extending your stay.
you can pm me
one you book a room and you start staying ,you would be asked if you are extending so be rest assured no issues

Hi, also headed for elpaso first week in June. Have u decided on an airline yet. Am thinking klm, but my issue is how to book a connecting flight from dallas to elpaso. Cant seem to be able to book that in nigeria.
@shagaman, please can u help out. Did u buy your elpaso ticket are the airport when you got to America?, am afraid it will be expensive cause it will be summer.

I got ticket online,American airlines,had someone buy it for me from here,but you can try it since its onoine you should be able to buy just leave like 2hrs after your landing time here because of poe and baggae clearance.

Thanks for the responses! My next concern is accommodation. We were advised here that our place of stay should be closer to the clinic where we would be visiting the doctor and not the hospital. For those in el paso right now, how do l plan this from naija since I don't know where the clinic will be? I will also like to share a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment with early July mums. Please those of you in a similar arrangement right now, how much will this cost me and are these apartments well furnished like the ones in Dubai?

As a preggy what one needs really is closeness to hospital,intown is close to hospital and where to see doc sef, also the advantage here is that shopping malls are around trek able distance,walmart is close,Ranch market is close,so many shopping malls around,I dont know about ramada so cant talk about the place,but at intown all u need is a bed where to cook and a 42 inch tv,that should surfice for ur period of stay, but if you want a place with jacuzzi,hot tub ,chaffiers, massage and others I can help you find out .....but if you have a budget u dont want to exceed then intown might suite you.

ojsimsim:
@shagaman thanks. Please which airline is best and what documents will I need at my POE as I have doctors pa ra ti letter of responsibility and doctors letter of appointment.
Kindly assist with a list.

I cant really say Airline per say but try as much as possible to get a lagos to dallas flight. Dallas POE have latinos and they are very friendly majority of them know elpaso well and then because while going back after child birth a connecting fligt from dallas to elpaso is 1.45 minutes.
For the list . Noting specific per say more than the normal requirements.

Doctors correspondence
Proof of ability to pay fees.
Hospital qoute on fees to be paid.

Atleast this shows that you already have appointment.
And maybe also your hotel booking.
With these items you are good to go and Elpaso also is waiting to welcome you...

dittobaby:
Hello people. I'm a July mum. I discovered el paso on this thread. Just got an invoice of $254.50 from doctores para ti for enrolment and personalized letter from a doctor. Please has anyone ever received this personalised letter before? I really need a response so that l can pay them.

This fee used to be $150 dollars but think due to influx of people it was increased,
As I prepare to leave elpaso this week I would try and breakdown part of expenses here..hope this can help people preparing to come...

ojsimsim:
Please what the best airline to use to elpaso since I hear the place is very far.
kindly share ur experience

If you want to go direct,you can do a Lagos to Dallas then take local flight to elpaso...

ojsimsim:
@shagaman thanks for the information. I have been going tru the discussions on this forum and it has been very helpful. I will be using el paso and about applying for my Visa. please has how long does it take for one to recover from an American CS using Dr Martell

This question get as e be cos my wife was the one that gave birth,but have seen like 3 or more ladies here that did cs ,recovery at any stage depends on individuals,in a day one would be out of the hospital and go home to take care of yourself,because outside the package,An extra day is $900 so I guess with that kind of money one doesnt have a choice than to be strong, but they are very good and you can barely notice thats why the ladies start moving about well after the procedure.

Elpaso is like boarder town between America and mexico,the hospital one would use here is called Delso medical center,Docsperati are like middle men that facilitates Doctor meets patient relationship,everything about them is kinda pretty straightforward, if you are using one of the doctors called Dr Martell be sure you would most likely deliver before 40 weeks the guy sabi force labour with some of his checks ,Then here bc takes time if you are lucky one week ,most times it comes after 2 weeks,thus be prepared cos trust some mums dem wan run go back naija sharp sharp..
If one wants privacy and dont want to depend on relatives thrn elpaso isnt a bad choice but the place far even people living here once you tell them you are in elpaso some ask wetin you find go there. ..but guess this is America the health care system has a standard..

My people how unna dey , read the story of the lady that had issues at chicago really feel for her, its well..
My advice for anyone coming to Elpaso...please and please just get a ticket that makes dallas your POE, reason and what I observed ,alot of Poe officers there are of latino background ,even from the airport you would notice and dallas POE is very friendy because mexicans are somehow friendly. ... all in all we pray for baba God favour....

@lillyfranklyn welcome to elpaso intown suites, place is nice and people are willing to help thats what have noticed here ....feel free to ask questions with people on ground ...noticed alot of latinos and mexicans here thats why I have officially changed my name also to Rodriquez Fernandez...

My people how unna dey,came into US today to see my beautiful wife and daughter ,POE was houston ,came with my son and was very smooth, got here 5am Us time ,flew with some preg mama s on United from lagos, wasnt easy handling a small chap as mine but glory to God and also gives us opportunity to appre iate our wifes...journey to elpaso was smooth also....for now person need rest,for all our women going thru all this for the sake of our childrens future God would be with you and see you thru....and for us husbands may we never run out of funds...am jettaaalaaaged.....

Hello familik,

Its been ages, really struggling to keep up with the thread. My write up on Houston Documentation details and how to manage your hospital bills will follow in the next few hours.

Read some pages and had a good laugh, heard you guys have started using a new package called "obama medical care", heard one oga wants to divorce his wife because of hospital bill, also heard one somebody misquoted favoredB and didnt apologise. Make una kontinu,i dey hear everything. PEACE.

Tvegas abeg no kill me with Laughter ......

jyde2014:
Oga; u go bad well well oooooo. Anyways; how is your little girl doing? Regards to Madam.

HAHAHAHAHa...JUST an Advice na,we thank God ...dem doing great ,thanks bruv

jyde2014:
@ Buuaah;Your situation isn't so bad. It can still be corrected..
Firstly, Travel to whichever state that your wife is, get all the details of her medical bills,seek expert opinion as regards the insurance. If eventually you need to pay back, develop a payment plan to offset the bills. if your inlaws are willing to assist on this, pls swallow your pride and show appreciation.
Secondly,The issue between you and your wife can be sorted out. After clearing all the medical issue,take your wife for a weekend and try iron out your differences. You guyz need to make some sacrifices. Remember whatever you guyz decide will affect the innocent child positively or negatively. And if u cannot resolve it amongst yourself, pls seek counselling. But please leave both in-laws out of it.
I wish you and your family the very best this new month. all the best.

Nice advice and while settling the matter get her pregnant again...

@mrsshen, promise to give detailed breakdown as soon as madam is strong enough,but as of now no hidden charges from what they have on their website

paid OBGN-$2,500
Hospital ---$2700
reg fee ---$150

However we made use of pediatrician which am still expecting but no matter how it cant total more than $6500 bearing no surprises...

OgologoDimkpa:
But King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia just died:
He ruled an oppressive Islamic nation where women are not allowed to drive, where people are flogged for criticizing Islam, which exported the Wahhabi form of Islam through its educational institutions in non Muslim nations, teaching hatred of Christians and Jews; a nation in which not one church has been or can be built. A dreadful legacy, yet he was lionized by Western leaders and royalty, including the British royals. Now the sickening tributes will pour in.

If I can remember well saudi Arabia is an Islamic country, westernization has no place in the holy Quran, in every country there are laws if you can abide then move out simple....

@op your case is like someone who is arguing over pregnancy when asked he said he dint release inside her but seems small poured inside..

Ready ko too looo reediii......congrats on the new baby on the way,its better you start shopping for baby things now and preparing for naming ceremony...we wish you luck

moniyet:
The lagos dubai journey was a lot more comfortable for me than the dubai Dallas leg, emirates economy no get leg room at all and I was unlucky enough not to have any free space beside me, it wasn't funny, coupled with the fact that I requested for wheelchair services bt never got it, the walking at the dubai airport wasn't easy on my back at all, then when we got to Dallas after 15 hours of discomfort, I had to be on my feet for 2 hrs as there were many flights arriving at the same time, the officers no just look my side at all, dem no send me and my big belle, i tried severally to get them to help as i had to catch the flight to elpaso bt they kept insisting i had time, bt God in his infinite mercies compensated with a wonderful CBP officer.
The interview was very brief, less than 5mims
We said hello and he asked me where I was going, told him elpaso and he went say what? I'm from elpaso (I was so happy I knew baba GOD had taken control) and from there it was all smile, he asked if I was in the army I just laughed and said no, then he asked what I was going to do I told him vacation and to have my baby, then he said oh guess U ' ll be using --- (he was trying to remember the name of the health centre) , I reminded him and he said oh ok, bt isn't it expensive I told him yes bt it's discounted for self - pay patients, he said ok, all the time he didn't ask for any docs just told me to finger print, scanned my passport, took my pic and stamped me in for 6 months, I doubt if he even checked my visa interview transcript, na that one bin dey fear me
after that I picked my bags and went to check in for the local flight (let me mention that I had to pay 60 usd for my bags on the flight to elpaso)
All in all I give glory to God it was a stressful journey but the Poe experience was sweet.
Checked into intown suites, I have even had my first appointment and paid the bill, na to dey wait for baby remain.
Abeg I don't know ow to send pms, elpaso mums staying at intown suites, ow do we meet, this place is really quiet o

my baby my love enjoy intown suites oooo,no light as we dey now...hahahahahaha mama Americana

Thank God for safe Poe entry.

Your wife can buy meat from Walmart and fry. It's cheap. Really don't understand why people bother to carry a lot of these food. They are available in the USA as well

Safe delivery to her and all preggies

abii its true sometimes you just try and not miss out on anything,those people that seized it wont know the value of fried meat and garri ...

Hello all,as i pdated when madam traveled i am providing update now on followup, she arrived Elpaso safely,said POE no questions

It goes like
POE Officer : what are you here for
madam : vacation and child birth
POE Officer : I am am also from Elpaso and have been seeing so many people coming for child birth seems its cheap
madam : not really but very good doctors and there is discount for self paying patients.
POE Officer : ohh takes her thumbprint and stamps in 6 months,

No secondary inspection but called madam back to seize the fried meat i toiled to fry its so painful i should have been eating it with rice at home now...intown suites ...thank you house and thank you all,

update on her first appointment would be sent tomorrow...dancing Apala now..This forum is so blessed...
