How much was your total bill like? was it up to or more than $10k? were you asked about the different bills and how much they were at the interview?
Sometimes lower bill makes the VO reject people with previous birth

For the 2 it was more than 10k, no I wasn’t asked and I was the one that represented my bill. Please how do I go about this

Hi everyone,
Please I need help!!!
I was refused visa twice . Since I gave birth to my second child in 2017 haven’t gone for a visa application so I went in for interview on September I was refused. I had all my receipts then I got a date for today which I went for as well and I was refused again. I had my children in 2016 and 2017 respectively. I sent letter of intent and I also said it at the POE so I wasn’t hiding. I paid all my bills. It’s just that my kids really wanted to visit the USA. They haven’t gone since they were born. Please how can I go about this. Should I get an immigration lawyer and please does anyone know a very good one

Check king'a county hospitaL, A friend of mine used it and paid 6k for c's for both doc and delivery.

dyout:
i don't know what to advice u. My baby was born the same day 15th of Dec.

I pray God will see through. Your baby shall be strong and healthy for you.

Am so sorry for what ur LO is going through now and what u are going through. By the stripes of our Lord Jesus christ ur LO is healed in IJN. U can go to the US immigration office and apply for an extension before the 6 months u were given expires.
The Lord is ur strenght my sister.

swappylove:

Thank you.

you make me laugh at mention of minnesota, u can try though. The cheapest I saw was 16k. Try allina hospital, HCMC, region hospital, university of minnesota hospital,freemonth,mayos clinic. Wish you all the best

FFFB:
Hi did you call Dr Esebede in dallas , he uses Drs Hospital too ?

No I didnt,didnt know about him until now.thanks for the info

swappylove:
Good day everyone.please is anyone recently using or considering doctors hospital dallas.
Also has anyone used methodist Charlton or methodist dallas.got a quote of 12500 does from methodist n I remember someone saying he paid 4500.
Abi I no phase my question well?

For doctor's hospital their maternity package fee is 3k but don't know about CS. Is finding a doctor that is the problem,most of their doctors don't take patients that are more than 28 weeks. Was considering the hospital before but when I found out about the 28 weeks from almost 4 doctor's that I called, I had to reconsider.

mymy2015:
So u saying the 208 I got at confirmation is likely to be wht I will be charged eventually? *praying hands*

Hello @mymy2015, I saw ur post on how u paid ur medical bills through d doctor's office by asking someone to pay for u over there.
I want to pay Mt medical bills too and I intend using Dr E but her office said the don't accept pre payment am traveling 3rd week of Jan.

Pls which doctor's office did u pay through cos I can't get $ here but I have people that can make the payment for me in the states. Pls is kin of urgent. I can PM u, if u don't mind

favoredgal:
I gave a suggestion to Apple on this exact question just a page behind
Do you wanna flip back and check?

Thanks just saw it, was carried away immediately I saw the question apple19 asked was like this is the same question I have been asking didn't read further until I posted my question

Will 3 weeks or 1 month old statement of account be convincing at POE?
Pls does anyone know if oakbend collects medical bills payment before getting to the state

favoredgal:
Your best bet is moneygram, as things are now the landing cost is 210-212 which is the best deal available, if you can get multiple people to send so you can send all your money down that will be the cheapest

Black market is 265 today which is cheaper than the banks so coming to swipe your card is the most expensive of all

Good luck

Pls I have a question about this moneygram, I have asked before but nobody replied me. If I do moneygram and send all my money abroad,what proof will I have at POE that I have money with someone abroad or d money is mine. Pls is really urgent travelling 3rd week of January. Thanks

Happy new year everyone, God bless and grant us all our heart desires.

kiboe:

When d office is closed especially for holidays, calls and emails ain't replied or returned. It's not her personal email. It's an official email that her secretary responds to.

So u wait, after the holidays, u can call.
So it's not by posting emails.

Yea I gerrit ( thanks for the info

teefex:

Okay. Will also get more info on this cos this dollar ish ain't going anytime soon. According to economy experts the say next year will be tougher. It's only God that will help us in these times...

The Lord is your strength, just relax,pray and don't let anyone or anything get to u. As for luggages local flights are always like that. I think the first bag is free, 2nd u may pay $75 and 3rd bag like $135 not so sure again and I think it also depends on the airline

My bills remain same as Ozycy
I used epidural which is 900
U can actually pay brown and associates online after ur mail comes, you don't have to call them.
You can pay epidural before u r discharged.

Baby post discharge visit
Used Dr khan
75 for first visit
55 for subsequent visit
Pku test( done btw 10days and 2 Weeks) is 12 dollars ( was referred to memorial hermann for it) cheapest I heard.
(u can just decided to go when the child is Btw 10days and 2 Weeks if u are saving cost. For just the one visit)

Baby documentation remain the same.

Shopping
For shopping I realized online shopping has better deals.... For example I wanted to buy breastpump it's 279 in d store and I bought it 220 and picked it up in d store( cldnt wait delivery). And so many other stuffs were cheaper to buy online. They had this if u spend this amount u get this discount. Or if u spend this u get a gift card of this...

Transportation
I rented a car from naija dude for 150 weekly
If u need international license don't stress ur self with doing it in naija.
When u get to the US Go to Idlservice. com to do it urself (after all we r DUI team), you will get license in ur mail

The dr
Wonderful wonderful wonderful, I enjoyed every bit of her. She's patient, she listens and she knows her job well. Hospital staff was super duper wonderful.

Pls can someone apply for the international driver's licence while u still in Nigeria or does it have to be in the US,also how long does it take before u get it

Hello house,
How are u all doing,Congratulations to the new mamas and papas, successful visa and poe.
