TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by stepedie: 7:56pm On Jul 25, 2014
dinawe: Please i need clarification from Elpaso Mama's.

Intown suites and His grace lodge, which is closer to Del sol Hospital and has easy access (maybe walk able) to shopping malls?

Does Intown suite have free airport pickup as well?

Is this correct, Intown suites= $170 per week and His Grace Lodge = $275 per week.

Thanks
Intown suit is closer to the hospital but you still have to get a cab to take you to the shopping mall anytime you need to shop from either locations although His Grace lodge offers one day grocery shopping to Walmart per week.
Am not sure Intown suite offers airport pick up but His Grace Lodge does.
Intown suite is $170 per week while His Grace Lodge is from $250 upwards.
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by stepedie: 3:06pm On Jul 24, 2014
Tvegas: El paso veterans, kindly give your suggestions. How do I make an affordable hotel reservation that we can show at the embassy during interview. I need something not more than $1200 per month. We are travelling by December and the rates I got on booking.com are extremely high. I also contacted his grace lodge just to make reservation and it seems they request payment up front, which I am not comfortable with.
Well i am at His Grace Lodge and the place is cool. I had to pay for a week upfront as well which is part of the lease and balanced up for the rest of my stay when i got here and am not disappointed at the hospitality and the environment. They have various rooms but am sure the one for 250usd and 275usd per week should still be within ur budget for a month.
I think i prefer His Grace Lodge though compared to ramada and Intown suite but you got your choice to make though.

ekyblink: I want to take a moment to appreciate everyone that have contributed to this thread, I wount be exaggerating if I say I run to this this thread whenever I have any question concerning my planned trip to USA to have my baby. Yes, I do have my questions answered. However, I have a little concern. My husband and I are traveling by second week of August to El Paso and my husband intends to return by the end of August due to his work while I stay back till November. I intend buying all my baby things in USA and shipping them to Nigeria as things are prober lying going to be cheaper over there. I don't know if this is actually cost effective as I think. Please advise. Thanks.
It's sure effective my sister, just make sure you're not traveling with so much so that when hubby is going back he can load His 2 boxes and when you are leaving you can load yours as well atleast you are both entitled to 2 bags each.
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by stepedie:
Logictinz: Thanks Stepedie for the response. You mean I won't have issues or hassles with transporting to and fro the clinic\hospital?

If I need to make the booking, I only need to send email to HisGrace Lodge address on doctoresparati site?

Also, a friend is trying to help me make paymentin US for the &150 registration but the bank he went to make the payment says the Routing number I was giving is wrong. Have mailed Doctoresparati though yet to get any reply.
Concerning getting to the clinic His Grace Lodge actually offer 1 day trip every week for shopping and same day could probably be your appointment date who knows but you should please call her and discuss this.
But I had an airport pick up from the airport to the lodge organised by His Grace Lodge and she also took me and my wife to the clinic on our first appointment.
Concerning payments i can't say anything about that as I transferred to a friend's Naija MasterCard in the state who made the withdrawal here and helped me to make the payment to the clinic and the clinic sent me a confirmation message that they received the payment.

Please I need your help. Also, has anyone used Hisgrace lodge? I understand it's not as close to the clinic/hospital as intown suite is. Is there any cheap and quick means of transporting to the clinic/hospital par adventure one decides to use Hisgrace lodge?
Am presently at HisGrace Lodge with some other nairalander mothers to be and i can tell you it's a cool place.

mamaxxx: thanks for responding. i was turned back because i was told i didn't have enough cash on me, although i had $2,500 and had paid $1,500 to the doctors office. that was really the only reason i was given. What do i do now?

Point of entry was Houston; My total hospital bill was about $6,000 but i had my visa card on me. yes this is to be my first child in the USA. please advice at your earliest convenience.
Wow...So sorry about the incident.
Well with the little i have gathered Houston so not so friendly with pregnant people coming to give birth though some people do have success stories with regards to Houston POE.
Doctoresparati would even advice His clients not to go in through Houston/Atlanta and thats why most people go in through new york has new york seem to be more linient.
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by stepedie: 10:26pm On Jul 11, 2014
lizcom25: @Ogbenyalu. Thanks for the help.

If Taxes is her POE, must she go through Houston? Somehow i think my wife is most relaxed than me. During her interview she wasn't ever disturbed like me, and she got it. Now i have started again, and she just said "don't worry"
Yes you have to go through Houston Sir...Dunno how Lenient they are now there though cos past experiences of people shows they are strict and doctoresparati would also advice you don't go through Houston and Atlanta.
I hope this helps.

Cheers

stepedie: Hello People,
To God be the Glory has I landed JFK New York safe and sound with my wife and my beautiful Americana to be on Tuesday evening yankie time. Flight take off and landing was smooth just that Emirate carry us waka reach dubai and Milan before we come reach New York

POE Officer : Good evening Sir
Me : Good Evening
POE Officer : What are you in the US for?
Me : Holiday and childbirth
POE Officer : Why merica
Me : Because i want the safest and best medicals for my wife and baby
POE Officer :Why El Paso and am sure there are good clinics in Nigeria as well?
Me:that's where i could get a clinic i can afford and it was recommended to me by my sister as a safe place to have my baby
POE Officer : Do you have foods in your bag
Me:Yes, garri, pap (our local custard), goldenmorn.
POE Officer:Where do you work?
Me : I work at xxxxxx (asked my wife same question and she answered as well)
POE Officer:How long are you staying.
Me:I'll be here for a month and my wife for 3 months
POE Officer:How much do you have with you?
Me : 3000usd only
POE Officer:Who is footing the bill?
Me: I am and I have paid most of the money so the cash with me can balance up(He checked the receipt i got from doctorasparati and checked the cash as well)
POE Officer:Okay I'll give you 6 months
Me: Thanks
POE Officer:Enjoy your stay.
And that was it, got to custom and they asked what was in the box and i told them the food items there, they passed it through the scanning machine and that was it....Welcome to Newyork City
All this didn't take more than 5 mins and I was in with wifey.
All thanks to God for not failing me cos I had committed everything to His hand and he took control.
Looking forward to seeing all the El Paso mamas soon as we still dey flex for Philadelphia.

Tmikejay: NYC POE experience.

First of all, no one should under estimate the God's role in our/their lives.

Second, as emphasized several times here, honesty pays.

To the main gist.

Border officer: Good morning, why are you in America today?

Me: My wife is here to have our baby, while I am here on vacation.

BO: NO, YOU CANNOT DO THAT! (Emphatically) (in my mind, I said chai, them send you)

I however smiled and calmly responded that its for medical reasons being our first child, we didn't want to take chances.

At the same time, I brought out the Doctor's medical responsibility letter and payment receipt for the Doctor.

He studies it.

BO: $2500 for Doctor, that's not possible.

I smile again.

Me: that's what the Doctor charges and besides, we still have to pay the hospital charges.

BO: How are you going to pay that?

Me: we have $$$ on us (less than 10k) and also have visa & master cards

BO: Where do you work?

Me: xyz coy

BO: so Madam you don't work?

My wife: I do, xyz coy.

BO: so you still work despite being pregnant?

My wife: yes I do and now I'm on leave.

He hands back the payment document and says he wants my thumb prints (both fingers) and pictures.

He still hadn't stamped me and he still held on to the Dr's responsibility letter.

BO: how many times have we been to the USA?

Me: I've been here 4 times and my wife/I together once.

He requests for my Wife's right hand thumb prints.

He then says, he will need to verify from our Dr. If my Wife is her patient.

I say go ahead you may do so.

He says, we should follow him to a room nearby.

(The above took about 5-7minutes and I looked around, everyone had been cleared, they are very fast in NYC, I must say)

Before we entered the room, he turns and says, we should remove money and valuables.

I remove a bundle of $$$, he sees it and says nothing.

Inside the room, there were four officers behind a counter like Zenith bank counters, he drops our passport and the letter on the Black officer's tray and leaves the room.

After 5 minutes, the officer waves me over.

BO-2: what did my colleague want me to do?

Me: he wants you to verify if my Wife is a patient of the Dr.

He looks at the document.

BO-2: I see she's giving birth in Texas?

Me: yes

BO-2: how are you going to pay?

Me: cash, we have $$$ on us.

BO-2: did you tell him that?

Me: yes I did.

He turns to his colleagues and say can you imagine BO-1 didn't mention that they are paying cash and that they even have money on them, why the hell is he wasting my time, does he think we aren't busy here. Can't he just make a simple decision.

He immediately stamps our passports and says welcome to America and safe delivery.

Me: Thank you.

We got our bags and headed into NYC to enjoy our baby moon (vacation before the baby)

That's our story.


It's God's doing.


Our advice is to commit your ways to God and also come prepared.

We had the following documents ready in two separate files (one for me, one for my wife)

- return tickets
- letter of responsibility from the Dr.
- payment receipt for delivery (Dr's fees)
- appointment date with the Dr.
- email reply from Embassy (as advised on this forum, we previously went on vacation with this visa and then she wasn't pregnant)
- bank statements (mine and hers)
- maternity leave from her coy
- Naira/$ exchange rate history from a website (to show the average exchange rate if asked to confirm how much we have)
- copy of marriage certificate (her passport is still in her maiden name)

Hope our story helps someone out there, the way we learnt from major contributors of this forum.

Thank you all.
Congrats Tmkejay.
