Thanks for your response firstymum.I used acceptance letter from expensive hospital for the vo. Now I want to change to a cheaper hospital and use that at poe. Though I intend to hold 10 thousand usd.I don't want any poe wahala as 10 thousand usd cannot match the expensive hospital I presented to vo. Will share visa story soon. |

firsttymum: I don't think there is any other way of doing it oh (i.e aside 4rm withdrawing & putting it into the American acct). A lot of sites don't even allow you to put in a Nigerian billing address - when you are filling in the billing address, you'll just see that its only the 52 American states that are available (in a drop down format) and there is no way to go round that. I also think its better to deposit money into the american card and use it to avoid sum1 hacking your naija card where all ur savings is at. 1 Like |

I had my interview in Lagos. I initially wanted to apply using visit as my reason to travel. But I procrastinated till my tummy started shooting out and I could not get an early date. Luckily for me I met an old friend who encouraged me to read this thread and also to use medical. So I started gradually and found very useful information through searches on how to prepare for visa interview on this thread. Someone shared the questions she practiced with and I copied to my laptop and I got my cousin to act as the vo and we reviewed my responses to see if they were appropriate. During the interview,I was not asked any questions outside the ones I got here and I was fully prepared. Please see my next post 3 Likes 1 Share |

firsttymum: What I usually do is use my host's address not naija address as billing address and it works. Used my skye on Walmart, carters, target even to top up my TMobile, used it for car rental etc But once I opened my BOA, I only used my naija card at the tills. Any online purchase I used my BOA card. Good luck. |

Hi nairaland fam. Just wanted to share this info. On the issue of using our naija cards abroad, my hubby got a mail from standered chartered bank on a new cbn policy restricting the use of our cards in non EMV countries(something that has to do with the chip n pin mechanism of our cards) from October 25th cos of all d reports of fraud going on. So u can't use our naija cards except u inform the bank before travelling. So people hold your cash tight to avoid stories. Sorry for the long epistle 2 Likes |

At the interview we were really favoured by God : Next please go to counter Bleep. My 2 children marched to the counter before DH and me. They really set the scene. VO:Already smiling at the kids.I could not help but smile too.We greeted VO and he asked for our passports. VO: Why do u want to go to the US? DH:To visit Me: Also to have my baby because we had already planned to visit US this year VO: Which state ? DH:CAL VO: Have u contacted a hospital? Me: Yes VO Which one?Me and DH xx xx xx.Children both repeated xxxx after us and we all laughed with VO. VO: What u do and how much do you earn . We both answered him. My children then started disturbing their Dad one was asking why the VO was talking like that (the diction). While the other was asking Dad to do his shoe lace. I did not get distracted. VO:let me have ur hospital correspondence and bank statement. What I had in my bank statement can foot hospital bills for a reasonably priced hospital but was not even up to one quarter of the hospital bill I presented. VO was examining the bank statement without much enthusiasm I quickly slipped a family investment document in my mums name to VO. VO: Is this in your name?I said no in my mum's name. VO:Is ur mum paying for you?I almost bungled there. I had to stick to the fact that I was sponsoring myself. I said no it's my entitlement. He then checks the supporting allocation sheet for the investment and sees my name . I had a budget sheet but held on to it because it was unrealistic. VO How long do you plan to stay? Me 3 months. VO:Where will u stay? We got a list of hotels from hospital but will like to check them out before we decide. He then goes to consult. Comes back and says staying in hotel in CALfor 3 months is really expensive.Are u comfortable? I boldly said yes and that I even have a credit facility on my VISA Card, (which I do but do not intend to use) and the hotels on the hospital list offers discounted rates for the hospital patients.. Then he said your visa is approved. I didn't hear any other thing he said. He then hands over white slip. Congratulations, Congratulations .I wish u safe delivery. Myself and husband had been denied several years ago at different times though. We are not frequent travellers but have travelled to Europe as a family before. 6 Likes |

Justwise So I find a cheaper dr / hospital in Houston Are you saying I can't share on the thread anymore? I think this ur policy should be restricted to advertising & it's easy to tell which is advertising and what is not If not, u will kill the essence of this thread. What made part one successful wasn't just pOe / visa stories it was a lot of research and sharing and comparison 16 Likes |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by nefertitiram: 3:49am On Oct 25, 2015 |
In the light of the below post, JW just made a lot of sense, because I was wondering the rationale behind deleting hosp names. The MIHS and the Mobap effect are typical examples, and hiding the hosp name is for the benefit of us all in the long run. Agents are busy advertising for specific docs n hosps, agents r lurking around here on ghostmode waiting for people to discover fresh deals only to pounce on them and frustrate it for everyone else when the hosps are tired of hearing from us. Infact, lurkers have began to make this thread a bad place to drop info, and JW in his wisdom has found a way around it. Thanks Bros, good job! Here's the thing, like mama MayMaj that found a good NJ price, instead of dropping the name of the hosp, she can drop the quotes and interested people can PM her for specific It is now her prerogative to decide who to respond to or not, as some of these agents may pose as patients seeking this info, but at least, it will reduce the rate at which 9ja patients r bounced from embassy and US hospitals. Hosps that want 9ja patients should pay for advert. Shikena! For the first time, I'm supporting JW, Hehehe ![]() justwise: 4 Likes |

Nefertitiram Hmmmm u made a lot of sense... In support of what Nefertitiram said.. Before u respond to pms check out the person here. These agents have tried to disguise in different forms... And they are doing more damage than good. They have made some Hospitals stop accepting us, and made hospitals hike their prices. monkey they work baboon dey chop Alot of us have fallen victims. |
