yugotee:You definitely have to contact the US hospital and doctor but don't negotiate prices yet. Collect it raw and present to the consulate officer. Negotiation should apply when you get to US visa, and meet with doctor and hospital if you still intend to use them. They usualy reduce price when you are paying cash and it's normal. Have nothing to do with medicaid. Cost of birth varies from state to state and from hospitals to birthing centres. The $20k estimate was given us by the Providence medical group for birthing at St John's hospital in Santa Monica, CA. This is for worst case i.e. a CS or longer stay (5 days) e.g. if baby has jaundice or multiple birth. Always think of worse case. ..better to overestimate. One good thing is you have accommodation provided by a relative, bad side is if you don't sound convincing, your intention is to run away. You are right on the hotels you manage. Rehearse and rehearse. ..you must sound convincing as in without you, things would go wrong. You role is one question you won't escape. Hope those good bank statements are in your name? |

Good day house @Omodadi2 sorry. In 2015 Feb I put to birth in Houston at WHMC paid all my bills as per self pay $4000 for me and $362 for baby both well baby well mama 3 days stay. I paid everything as per the offer before leaving the hospital. Got my Zero balance letter and receipts for both accounts. Then my visa expired in May 2015 and I renewed it in October 2015 via drop box. Now went to renew Jan 2018 via drop box but passport returned and I am advised to schedule an interview ( yet to do that) So I started arranging all necessary document's "every every " thinking i am good to go, untill a member of the house posted her transcript on how she was denied visa at her follow up interview because of itemized bill. She came to see what it looked like and I put up what I thought it was only for me to see the real thing. Obviously I knew I didn't have it. So I called the hospital to send mine the reception referred me to hospital patients account services (which is in Georgia) trust me I called sharp sharp , only to be told that my sons account has $4230 debt on it. Wow I screamed no way and asked why and how but the guy just said it's been there since 3 years. I went gagas and called the main hospital line again requesting to speak to a financial counsellor (as I could not get hold of the person that signed and issued my initial letter) I was again given a number for the person. I called and it went into voice mail and was given her email. I sent her a mail stating my findings and my need also attaching a copy of my Zero balance. However I kept calling till she picked. My God she was so apologetic saying the person whose job it was to strick it off did no do so. That she would send me updated receipts and zero balance letter and follow up till the $4230 on my sons account is struck off. She has sent the above but no itemized bill that I would have to wait for a week before it comes. As for the follow up interview I will not schedule until I get an all clear from the said account. I believe a lot of us can learn from this I will also keep you posted to the end. Sorry for the very long post. Love you all. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Hello Fam. Please I need you your help. Can I change my point of entry? I told the VO that I will be giving birth in Texas but I want to use a hospital in Califonia instead. 1. Will I be turned back if I land in Califonia instead of Texas? 2. Will a change in state reduce my chances of visa renewal in future? Thanks |

Mamababy1: You had a baby, got divorced, your husband relocated to the US (now married to someone else)... and you also found someone new and got pregnant again... all in the space of 1 year? I assume you don’t expect anyone with half a brain to believe this plot? 18 Likes 3 Shares |

bidrozey: I don’t think God took control of anything. You just got awfully lucky that he did not ask you to login to your bank account and prove that you indeed had $12000 on your card. This was a tiny issue so I’m not sure why you felt the need to lie so effortlessly. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

TWoods: Whoa, how rude can you get, who made you judge and jury. If you read clearly without prejudice, she said they were already separated before the divorce and she didn't say her husband was remarried, how did you come to that conclusion. The way you attack people on this forum is uncalled for. 8 Likes |

captain90210: Your response is confusing to me. I think what you mean is we have to continue to live in the make belief world where we hear, see and say nothing. Other than that, I see no reason why you demand that I “respect” the situation of others while denying me the same respect to voice an opinion, even one you don’t like. Secondly, advice could go either of two ways. One you like, one you don’t. It seems to me that your problem is not that I can’t advice, but that you’re not comfortable with it. The scenario I laid out is one any reasonable person would come to. It’s incredibly hard to convince me that a couple that divorced in 2016, after having a baby, found separate partners in such a short time that one has already moved on with another person to the US (a process that obviously takes a good deal of time) and the other is about to give birth to the baby of someone else... also why is she concerned about the ex-spouse in the US? Is she asking out of genuine concern or that the Cbp officers are likely to come to the very same conclusion that I did? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Dishonesty begets dishonesty and out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. You see everyone as a liar and as dishonest because that is what you are but guess what, not every one is like you. 7 Likes |

FYI Past Maryland mamas who used Dr Charles Akoda, please look at this link. I know a few mamas from earlier parts of this thread used this doctor. His name was pretty common back then. I want to say let’s all be careful but this doctor even fooled the other doctors in his practice for 10 years, so there’s not much difference our own small research could have made. https://www.gblawyers.com/dr-charles-akoda/ PS I hope this is ok to post, mod |
