Goodmorning everyone, pls I have a question. I have seen on this thread that there are some red flag hospitals/Drs or states. Pls can I use doctores/El-Paso? Plus does any one know any good affordable hopital/ doctor I can use in Dallas, Newyork or LA? I am a first time mom and would really appreciate all the help I can get. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by folmus: 8:04am On Apr 30, 2019 |
nimcote: Not a redflag. However, you may need to request higher package as their package is now cheaper and small with what embassy want to see. 1 Like |

Good day everyone, I have been following this informative trend for a while now and I think I nice to enter the conference on intellectuals. Kudos to everyone. I have one question which I will appreciate quick response. Please, what period (weeks) into pregnancy is it best to request for Childbirth Hospital bill and book Doctor's appointment in US? My Darling and I are planning visa appointment/interview soonest. Also what advise would you give us. This is our first experience as parent. Thank you. Is it necessary for example to tell the VO during interview that we are flying to Texas first, and we'll later move to Minnesota because that's where our delivery hospital and Doctor are with proof/evidence of Doctor's note? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by aremso(m): 9:54am On Apr 30, 2019 |
mooreengineers: To me as early as possible even if possible 1st week this is because of getting fast date for visa interview and if you start late, there is possibility of getting later dates close to your EDD which would some how put pressure on you. My 2 kobo 2 Likes |

Wishing you good luck in advance. |

nimcote: Both the hospital and the doctor at www.doctoresparati.com will provide the price quote you are willing to pay. The price on the website is the maximum discount that is offered to patients. You may, of course, request to pay more and you will be quoted and billed the amount you request. 1 Like |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by mooreengineers: 7:18pm On Apr 30, 2019 |
And why is their rate cheaper against what the embassy want to see? Just being inquisitive though. I just checked and it's very cheap to believe. However, will the hospital agree to increase the bill if requested and what amount is advisable to be quoted? folmus: |

Hello good evening!!! Please I need help!!! In February 2017, I applied for a b1/b2 visa with my brother. We were supposed to travel in April. But we couldn’t. Then in October 2017 I got pregnant. I decided to use my visa to give birth. So I left for the states in april. Then in May, my brother came to the US with my mum via Chicago. There the Homeland security officer asked him about me, and why I’m still in the US. after long interrogations they checked him mums phone, because cane back and she waited for him, even though she had been stamped and they saw conversations between she and her friend, talking about if my brother was going to stay back in the states or not. Oh well their visas got revoked. Well I had my baby there and paid the hospital bill. Of $4600. Doctors fee of $2900 and $685 for circumcision. Some months after, my friend got a letter that they refunded the $685 back to my dollar card in Nigeria.? I got my zero balance, but I still got another account the hospital had created, with an outstanding of $690. I’ve called to know why and they are telling me all sorts. Anyway, i intended going to the hospital when I go back to know what they are charging me for, even after I got reimbursed. Anyway I did a Dropbox in December, eve though my visa was to expire in February. I did that because I wanted to travel towards the end of February, for my baby to see his doctor, because he’s been having respiratory issues. Well I got called for interview in January. I scheduled a date and it was in April. I travelled out of the country(not the USA), and came back a month later, to attend my interview. On the day of my interview, they said my name did not pop on the system. They transferred me to the officer who had a computer. When he checked, he said the embassy had rescheduled my appointment and if had passed(March 23). And I had to reschedule. I got home and called the embassy, to know how I was going To do it. They said they will unlock the receipt and I can use that same one. They did and I got appointment for August. But now, my sons nose is still disturbing him. I just requested a letter for the hospital in the states and in Nigeria, so I can submit to the embassy an apply for an expedited appointment interview. Because he already had scheduled appointment with the doctor. Hopefully they grant me. Well I just want to know if there’s anything anyone will advice I do or carry. Please i will really appreciate the help!! God bless |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Nersh: 4:10am On May 01, 2019 |
Sorry about your son’s condition. Your situation sounds complicated. Considering you have some outstanding bill at the hospital and all, I’ll suggest you seek medical solution for your son in Nigeria or elsewhere while you process your visa. Motherof1: 3 Likes |

Ahh! My POE was pretty smooth especially considering all the stories here and elsewhere about O’hare I prepared for the worst. I was done with the CoB in less than 2 mins. He basically asked what I was there for, told him to have my baby and he was like really? I chuckled, he smiled and asked for how much I had, told him. He asked if I had any doctor documents which I showed him. He stamped me in, wished me luck with the baby and that was it, I was in. I was quite stunned for a few mins and stood and was waiting for further questioning but none came and I walked away. Quite grateful to God but nairaland prepares me very much and exposed me to all the what nots and what could go wrong folmus: 3 Likes |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by BOmum: 9:25am On May 03, 2019 |
So I just finished my 221g interview with a rejection..Lady we got was very mean though. Vo: Are you guys married Me: yes( i came with hubby and son) Vo: is this your only child Me:No we have a daughter too Vo: Where was she born Me: America Vo: When Me: September 2017 Vo: Can i see your receipts Me: Hands over receipt Vo: How much did you pay while looking through Me: Over 6000 Vo: I mean for just Hospital only Me: 2200 Vo: But on the receipt i say bill of 15k but you paid 2200 even though hospital said paid in full Me: I paid what the hospital quoted in full.The 2200 excludes payment for doctor, peds, patho etc and I didnt use anu government funds as stated in the hospital letter addressed to the embassy(She cuts in and says thats okay please) Types for a while and hands us a yellow paper saying you will know why you dont qualify as stated in the paper I used Houston North West Medical centre |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by DrStrangelove: 10:10am On May 03, 2019 |
Dang! The last statement being the hospital was located on Houston did u mean. Am sure that hospital has been blacklisted. In short, any hospital in Houston right now is suspect except u paid more than $10K. This can be painful. The rejection is harrowing. Take heart. It is well BOmum: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by NIFES(f): 10:21am On May 03, 2019 |
Hi all. I just had my 221g interview also with a rejection. However, the strange thing with mine was that they didn't even ask for my receipts before giving the rejection. VO: Hello, passport please Me: Hello VO: What are you going to the US for this time Me: Vacation VO: Are you married Me: Yes VO: Do you have kids and how many ? Me: I had 3 but one surviving child now VO: Sorry about that; Tell me more about your last US trip Me: I traveled to the us January 2018 and came back in March VO: What for? Me: To give birth; I wrote a letter to the embassy notifying them of my intent and they gave a go ahead VO: Can you give me a little more detail about your other international travels Me: I answered that I have been to the UK, Dubai, UAE, Kenya VO: Do you have any relatives in the US Me: No, but I have a friend VO: Who else is going on this trip with you? Me: My baby VO: What do you do? Me: I work with bla bla as a bla bla. My roles are bla bla VO: Who will be paying for this trip Me: Myself VO: What does your husband do? Me: My husband does bla bla with bla bla Vo: When was the last time your husband traveled to the US? Me: (ERROR! ) 2012 VO: Why so long? Me: Tight schedule and school programme VO: I am sorry you are not qualified for the visa at this time but you can reapply etc,. I cut in saying she had not seen my itemized bill and stuffs but she said that I should keep them for future applications. I feel bad right now. Where others are being rejected on the basis of low bills , mine seems to be the fact that my husband has not been to the US in a while. All the best to those still awaiting their follow-up interviews. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by folmus: 10:42am On May 03, 2019 |
BOmum: To appeal to the V.O now, your hospital only fee( excluding doc fee) should be around 12-15k dollar. May God help our mothers. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by DrStrangelove: 12:21pm On May 03, 2019 |
Poster pls take heart, I think they refused u based on a story about ur husband's trip to the US previously. There's something there. There must have been bn an issue wch the VO saw on her screen and she was expecting u to know and say something about but truth u or ur husband might not even know about it. It's either that or the VO knew from ur form that she was gonna deny u from the start and waited for the perfect opportunity. NIFES: |
