I got it at 1.2m (wife and carry on lap baby), I walked in to the airport to buy the ticket. Though the lady said that on return my daughter will have a seat instead of being on lap.

Prices i got were very high so I decided to go to the airport. Those airport boys around will try confuse you that BA office is closed and that you will not be allowed in, just ignore them and go to the Departure.

You can try check for multi city if you have UK visa the difference is less 100k. Just to reduce the travel stress.

I hope this help. Cheers.

Hello, please do I need UK transit visa to fly BA

okoji:
Any MAY news?

Nawa o. so people like me that applied in July are on a seriously long thing!

baldman:
What balances should I work towards? And what is the timeline I could adopt

there's no specific balance per se. u need to get a quote from a doctor and hospital. and have enough money to prove that you can pay the bills. the timeline depends on when you want to travel.

regarding your family ties. I'm not sure how the VO will see it. He has to be convinced you will return home.

would you consider your wife did applying alone at first with you as her sponsor?

2M by the end of the year is quite small and it may look like you cannot afford the trip to the VO.

On the other hand, the VO may not even check your statements of account as was the case with me and hubby.

Hi Ayokunle07, Please what is this MEDIF form you said your wife filled. My wife will be flying sooner, but using BA, I don't know if this form will concern her.

Please does anyone have an idea of likely questions asked at POE, though we have all documents right, hospital correspondence, zero balance of our first child,...

Thanks in anticipation.

Hello please how much did u get your BA flight and how did u book it of you don't mind. thank u

Ayokunle07:
For their flight to ATL, layover is about 9 hrs.
You must submit the MEDIF and med clearance forms not later then 72 hrs before the trip. Make sure it's approved before you show up at the airport to travel.
Arrange your accommodation at Doha (like 3 days before your trip) by calling their office 012798888. Not every ticket is eligible for this though.

Thank u. sorry your DW experience was stressful.

My sister flew with them and her husband did last week friday, I dont know what issues your are expecting but none was witnessed. The usual thing is getting questioned (by a US official-someone like a CBP) at doha before you board your US bound flight.

as per layover, I do not know. You may need to contact their customer service on that

thanks for the response. what I heard is that those CBP at Doha can be very strict and difficult and they turn people back a lot from Doha

Jawa:
Hi urblackpearl, you are covered with this plan. Just have your tickets handy and story straight. Your new baby will be a US citizen and does not need a visa to canada and the CBSA officer knows this. Also always remember that haveing a visa doesn't guarantee you entry so be honest with your intentions and ready to explain your ties and itinerary incase concerns are raised. Best of luck

tnx a lot!

Babatwi:
You dint mention anything about having a US visa,i hope you have one? I don't see why it will be a problem If you do.

Yes I have a valid US visa. Thank U!

Hello All,

I plan to have my baby in US, then fly to Canada a few weeks after having my baby and finally return to Nigeria from Canada.

My question is, with a valid Canada visitor Visa this multi city itinenary shouldn't be a problem at either POE right?

Hi,

I had my baby in Brooklyn New York and I used Wyckoff Hospital, you can try them out.

Thanks.

Hi. How much please?

Good morning All.
Trust u are all well. Hubby and i just submitted our paper application at VFS office.

On the website, processing time says 70 day! Wow!

Pls is there any hope it could be faster?

Thank you

Hotstepper:
do u have ur visa now

@hotstepper pls what province would u recommend that is affordable. I will be going for CS and would have to get our own accommodation cuz BC where our host is is too expensive.

ooresky:
Hello @ urblackpearl. here's a breakdown of the bill I paid at bc. I travelled at 34weeks birthed at 38 weeks plus
1st visit with the family dr-160cad
subsequent visits/prenatals-75cad(had 4 visits)
drs fee-2000
hospital bills(cuts across all of b.c cos Fraser Health is in charge of health services in b.c)
3530 cad-maternity
1350 cad- natural delivery
1070 cad- newborn fee

the bill would have ended here but I got another bill of 1450 cad for routine medical tests they did for the baby (which I was told was free @ the hospital)

they took all my blood tests but was made to do strep b, and another one which cost 100 cad.

baby's pasport -107 cad for express (took 5days)

express mail(Canada post) to nig high commission in Ottawa from b.c-75 cad . very crappy service. didn't get the mail after 6 days & had to pick up d baby's E.T.C @ Canada post sorting ctr @Richmond after repeated calls.

E.T.C- 100cad

This is a rough estimate of the bill. been trying to upload the sheet containing the different charges from Fraser Health but it's not uploading...

I hope this helps you ......All the best in your endeavours

Thanks Sis. Looking like BC might be too expensive considering i will be doing CS. And thats where my host stays . I might have to go to America.

ooresky:
@ urblackpearl. sorry for the delay. I have my hands full right now. Will post a rough break down of my bill & all later.....Will also try & upload the Fraser Health charges.

Hi Sis. Pls another reminder. Desperately need info on BC. Tnx

Joyeka:

Hello All.

VO only checked our budget and doctors correspondence/bill.

Me and hubby were done in about 3 mins!

Anyone in/bound to LA?

Ok Sis. Wish u all the best

Teefinix3:
Yea sis....
I later changed my mind to coming to Brampton...my friend husb actually has a house there rather than where she stays in BC.....and I was made to realise that i will get things done
Faster and cheaper in Brampton.
Poe was a seemless process....no funny question asked except ao many days I want to use.
No agric....nothing asked abt my bump. Although my bump is not usually big...so maybe the guy didn't noticed and my husb also was with me...we both answering questions...focus was not only on me.

I wish u a safe trip and smooth entry as well.

Hello Sis @teefinix3. Thank God for journey mercies. Hope your POE experience was not stressful. Didnt you go to BC again?

Teefinix3:
@ blow 70....
Congrats on d safe delivery of ur baby....pls ao did u contact the doctor..am presently at Brampton and seriously searching for a cheaper doctor...
Can u give me the contact pls.....and other cost breakdown.
Thanks a lot.
