Good Morning Everyone,

Please I need clarification from anyone who has done this before. I have tried getting an appointment but it has been challenging. I am due in December but the date I am seeing is 2024.

I want to apply for an emergency medical appointment. I have all my documents to prove my pregnancy is high risk, both letter from my DR here and in Houston.

My question is:
1: what documentations do I need to apply for an emergency appointment
2. how do I go about the emergency appointment?

I am currently applying from ABuja

I will appreciate all the help i can get.

Thank you

The letters from your Nigerian Dr, Dr in Houston, proof of affordability.
To apply for emergency appointment log in you profile, it's one of the tabs on the side, follow the process on the website and submit. Goodluck

@ Somandla please help me with this question, which other document do we have to send to hospital in u.s after pregnancy scan 2) is it only pregnant with high risk they use to accept, Mayo clinic in Rochester refused to racept my wife because we did not said she has High risk to deliver her baby

Bro pls check what I just attached, call those 2 Doctors, you just tell them you will like to give birth in their care, they will email you quotation and hospital fees.

Once you receive their email apply for expedited emergency appointment with embassy, dnt make this complicated, this would have been done last week already, you are running out of time.

onile1975:
@ Somandla could u please send me the phoneno of Dr Z office because we just have a month eft and we are yet to apply for visa and El paso hospital EMAIL ADDRESS Thanks

Scroll up, I attached it on this same page

If you are Texas bound, you can call Dr Z office and speak to the receptionist she sends correspondence withing 10min, if going to El Paso they respond withing 24hrs.

My advise would be call the doctors you want to use and get communication going

Also airlines lift pregnant women max 36weeks, so Goodluck mate

onile1975:
hello everyone, Please like how many days it will take hospital in a America to reply with doctor corresponding letter, because my wife due date is remaining like one month I want to no if we can stillill make emergency appointment

Regarding the government paying you benefits just because your kids are born there, my question is, what contribution have you made to USA? have you paid taxes? if your answer is nope, dnt rig the system and rob citizens of their hard earned taxes, they pay taxes to have a social system that works

Good day House, trust we are all doing great. Wishing all our expecting mums a safe delivery. Ive been an ardent member of this birthing thread since 2014 for my son and 2016 for my daughter via this thread. To d glory of God I had no issues and all.

However, I’ve had a pressing concerns I need help/clarity on.

1st, my visa expired since 2018 I tried Renewing prior covid but was rejected (during d trump birthing saga) I was asked to bring my Itemized bill. Sorted that from Del sol Medical (Dr Esparati) tried getting an appointment again but unfortunately I got for Dec 2023. Is there a means of getting earlier dates ?

2ndly, I’ve been hearing people say I should be earning money from d govt for my kids. How true or possible is this? Someone even asked I give her their ssn which I declined.

Lastly, we haven’t traveled with d kids to USA since 2017 is there anything like revoking citizenship if d child stays out of the country over a certain period?

I will really appreciate all responses towards this. Thanks

Houston Dr details attached below

Email info@genesysobgyn.com, they will send you Dr fees, and estimate from 3 hospitals that the use

Goodluck

Use the same visa, just have documents ready for point of entry your budget, proof of funds, doctors correspondence and you are good to go. I know someone who entered USA 2 days before visa expired

No sir, I only sell rands .Thanks

What's your rate? Are you in SA or Naija

If you have had a USA visa that has expired less than 48months and was issued in SA you qualify for Dropbox, as visas are valid for 10yrs.

If it's your first time applying, I would just say wait for July as you have ample time.

I am also in SA and Houston bound to Dr Z but due Nov.
Wish you all the best

omotapeju:
Good morning everyone,

I wanted to ask about Medical visa, I have an upcoming B2 appointment in July 2022, I have gotten a letter from a doctor Z in Houston and a letter form my doctor in South Africa as well.

My due date is oct, so I wanted to find out if I should leave by July appointment or I should apply for emergency expedite and cancel the July own.
And can someone advise on what documents is needed to apply for interview with the intention of giving birth.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby.

Yes you can make arrangements to pay while you in Nigeria and keep receipts for your next visits

Any idea why your baby was early, did you have any pre existing conditions or was it just spontaneous early labour?

Hello house

I came to US to deliver my baby, New Jersey to be precise. I wasn’t due until June 2022 and planned to deliver at a birth center for cheaper option. However, he came 6 weeks early and I had to be transferred to a hospital as the birth center doesn’t do any birth that isn’t full term. He spent 7 days in NICU and i received a total bill of almost $34k after discount. My question is is it ok if i choose a payment plan where ill pay a certain amount each month? This means that ill leave the country but will be paying my bills back home. Is it acceptable? Has anyone paid their bills over the course of 1 year?

Hi,

Can you kindly please share Dr Z contacts.

babestell:
Hello House, time to share my story

I got my visa early last year before the who0le issue with dates started. I wasn’t pregnant then but we thank God for his gifts.
I used Memorial Hermann and Dr Z. My cost breakdown is below

Dr Z (include ultrasound): $2550
Memorial Hermann sugarland; $3969
Anesthesia: $2000
Sunrise Pediatrics: $500
Hospital Labs: $300

The hospital labs is not a round figure as above, I rounded it up0. When we got home we received an additional bill from the hospital. Apparently the hosp0ital only allows their own p0ediatrics team attend to baby after birth. Instead of allowing the external child pediatrician attend. They charge the p0arents for the service and boy its not cheap. My bill when sent was

Child Initial Birth: $750
Circumcision: $821
Baby discharge examination: $535

So pls if you are using this hospital, put all these in plan. Covid has dealt with the system so even all those freebies we used to get from hospitals are no longer available. They claim this was in response to Covid .
I applied for baby passport last week of November. Even paid for express. Unfortunately, the passport is not out. We travelled with ETC, which my husband helped process.

I did my covid test at CVS and that’s what I used to travel.

Thanks to everyone who shared their journey.

PS Dr Z is Nigerian...I know there was time people were arguing over it here.

Hi Mrs,

Can you please share if you dnt mind which state mad hospital you used?

MrsHappy:
Hello all, it’s been a long time. Good to be back here.
I got my first US visa in 2015 with my hubby and we went on vacation 2017.
Then in 2018 and 2019 respectively, I had my 2 kids on a renewed visa. ( I sent an email to Lagos embassy to inform them of my pregnancy plans and they replied that it’s up to the Officer at point of entry) . At point of entry all my documents were looked at after I told them I was pregnant and I was allowed in.
Now my question is none of my hospital bills was more than $5000. I am going for this new waiver program with my husband. Do you think the amount I spent will affect my renewal?
NOTE: I’m not pregnant, dnt plan to have any more kids. Just need to go on vacation

I don't know if this might help someone out there.

I am South African, our IW started in Nov after travel ban was lifted.

I called call the embassy call center, told them I qualify for IW but can't schedule app as it showed no appointments, they then asked for my Ds160, and asked me to log in , upon logging in there was a page with 3 qualifying questions
E.g
1. has your visa expired in Less than 48months? ( bear in mind our visa validity is 10yrs)

2. Did you capture biometrics at the embassy?

3. Are you applying under the same vis a category?

That's how I was able to get IW letter and scheduled DHL drop off & pick up.

So contact your embassy�

njidekachi:
have that already ma'am

Hi, kindly accept my email, it's regarding dates.
Thanks

Exchange peer to peer, last I checked it was N35 to R1 , or through western union or normal bank xfer.

The empty arrogance of most Nigerians beats me. As a professional who has lived in SA for 22 years, I have seen over the years how the reputation of Nigeria has gone down, thanks to the unending fraudulent activities of a lot of Nigerians. Drugs, internet fraud, and fraud in general.
In SA, senegalese people own shops and boutiques, I know Ghanian people who own good businesses. Manufacturing of products that occupy the shelves of chain stores. I have lots of friends who are building contractors and still continue to make good money doing clean legit businesses. Not to talk of lawyers, accountants, doctors etc.
The issue is that the Nigerians who do clean businesses and ply their profession are in the very very minority.
I as a Nigerian get panic attacks going into johannesburg cbd. If those Nigerians all over hillbrow are what Nigerians are made of, then I think South Africans are actually very patient.
Why do Nigerians find it soooo difficult to be part of a progressive society.
And please if you think white in SA like Nigerians, then you need a reality check. Whites are not willing to participate in addressing past injustices that the apartheid government did. They would make friends with anyone who speaks evil of the locals. Whites are hardly your friend...wake up!
Their distaste for you might be subtle..but don't get it twisted....who are you
If you are from Ghana, your SA visa application can be done online and an approval sent to you online, if you are from Benin republic, you do not need a visa to get into SA and I am sure it's like that with so many other African countries.
Instead of us introspecting, we cry foul...talk of jealousy...call indigenous people lazy...yet the evil that we do live with and after us.
Nigerians...., start by changing your orientation, to by pass the laws of a land and undermine it, is not smartness. To go to people's country and become human traffickers, drug dealers and internet fraudsters is not hardwork.
It's destroying those countries and creating problems for other well meaning Nigerians who want to migrate and be a progressive part of other societies and those who want to genuinely visit and explore other countries.
South Africa has its own problems...and has the citizens fight to rescue their country from high crime rate, employment and greedy politicians, Nigerians should not further burden their system or make the hurdle harder .
Dubai is an example... people would take steps to preserve their country..
African brotherhood should not destroy, it should build.

Gidariro:
Good morning,

Please, does anyone know why we can use our ATM cards to withdraw cash in South Africa? Does it have anything to do with the international transactions limit of $100 per month?

Yes it does unless you are using dollar nominated card.
You can do direct exchange with someone in SA, they give you Rands and you pay them in Naira in Nigeria

God is involved yes but I can guarantee science & money was involved too.

Nothing wrong with having an egg donor, ivf but God has the last say as those methods might not work but I can bet it was not natural.

This is me ooo. I've been having allergic rhinitis and sinusitis since I was a child. I'm 30+ now I'm not happy that I'm still suffering from it. I've done series of tests, taking a tipper loads of drugs and I've gone herbal. Still no permanent solution in sight. I. AM. T-I-R-E-D.

Have you tried seeing an ENT?

Gvnl:
Good evening everyone and Happy Sunday.

This Catarrh has lasted for almost 9yrs now. I've taken different medications but it's still persisting.

I have also done some laboratory test and taken prescribed medication, but no permanent solution.

Please help what else should or can I do to put an end to this menace.

Thank you.

Go see a qualified ENT doctor, they will do a cat scan might need septoplasty surgery, FESS draining may be needed and steroids medicine to heal.

Try sinus rinse when blocked to breath better

Diet contributes a lot to mucus and inflammation.

I just had Septoplasty and I am sleeping better, breathing better.
