A child born in the United States is entitiled to US citizenship, but to get a US passport, signatures of both parents are required. Quick question: If the father of a child is in Nigeria, how and where do we notarize the letter? At the US embassy or any courthouse in Nigeria? Does it have to be hand written and mailed over here or scanned and printed? Thanks. |

Hello all, please how easy is it for a couple who haven't been abroad before to be granted a BI/B2 Visa for birthing purpose at the US embassy? Is there anyone here who was granted this category of Visa as a first time traveller with a virgin Passport after revealing birthing intentions to the Consular? What do you advice this couple to do? Do they stand any chance at all? Please, I await your responses as they will go along way in making a decision. Thanks everyone. 1 Like |

Yvete: A child born in the United States is entitiled to US citizenship, but to get a US passport, signatures from both parents are required.1) A notary in Nigeria is sufficient. I believe there is a document he needs to sign too. 2) It must be hand written and mailed. DHL preferably . Good luck 1 Like |

sweetg: Kindly quote the website am, as I already told them all of these. I understand diff states have their laws. I get informations and research before doing things Accepting medicaid for ur child is in no way illegal, as long as ur child is American and you qualifies. Am yet to see this reflected on the parent's records. I am also yet to see a visa refusal on this ground, for those I know that used medicaid for their kids. Some states like chicago have moms and babies program, which allows both anericans and birth tourist to have kids at little or no fees, provided they apply for and qualify for the program. This too does not reflect on any body's record. At least not that I know of. Records are kept for debtors and these deliquent accounts are shared amongst govt agencies hence immigration can see them too. But these are for deliquent accounts. It is all well and good if you can pay for all cost. But if you have the right information and can legally reduce ur cost, go for it. Its like saying a student should be penalized cos he was able to get scholarship while his fellow students paid in full by themselves. The system works same way for tax evasion and tax avoidance. One is illegal, the other is legal. But both aims at paying less tax 1 Like |

peacenigeria: Hello many appoligies for the delayed response, I will try to convey my experience and comparisons as best as possible. As stated before, I had to previous experiences having my previous two children born in the US as well as several of my friends (one whom also recommended doctoresparati.com). As stated above I did get some lower hospital prices from other places, but later figured out the hospital bills do not include most of the physician fees, which is what elevates the prices in the end. As mentioned I did A LOT of homework on which city and clinic I wanted my third child precisely because of my previous experiences. @ Peacenigeria, thanks for this info. you have really help a lot. Please which flight did you use to el paso, i have tried to check online..still struggling to get one. Which airport did you first arrive in the US? was there any issue at immigration? I also intend to complete all payments before travelling. Any other info that would assist will be appreciated. |

bolanleife: @tobiojo.. how did you book delta please. what website because on delta.com, they apparently dont fly from nigeria . does anyone else know how. the flight prices for october are ridiculoussssss ... help oh biko You have to book KLM to fly Delta Airline from Amsterdam to the US. Flight cost is very ridiculously high depending also on the airline you book through. It actually cost me about 2,000 USD to book my flight to the US after my wife gave birth to our son mainly because I booked the flight like 4 days before I was to fly and I used KLM. Also the flight I booked was the cheapest of all my options and I had to fly first from my base in Europe to Amsterdam, then to Manchester before connecting through Delta to Atlanta. But other airlines like Turkish airline might be cheaper. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by tobiojo2002: 3:41pm On Jul 08, 2013 |
2good: I booked at delta office at the airportits easier that.way, they open by 4pm every day, I advise u fly direct that one sure way to get there without connectingflight hassles itw mqy be very expensive now but do the cost benefit its very worth it I assure you. I know once I,m out of 9ja I have no other worries by God's grace. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by ringofGod: 8:53am On Jul 09, 2013 |
thanks peeps...i will use wakanow to book. For the lady asking about going to give birth for the first time in the US... just scroll up..i am a first timer and they gave me visa...i had more than enough money to show that i was not going to run away and i told them i was pregnant..i think it helps if u apply along with your husband. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by ringofGod: 8:56am On Jul 09, 2013 |
Phema: my passport was not virgin though..i schooled in the uk and my husband also had been to the UK several times... so i am not sure about a virgin passport... but i can tell you that if you have excess money in your account... they will likely give you...pay slips, employment letter..all those things to show that u will come back.. if u have life insurance policies, include that...your rent details or if u pwn a house etc... hubby and i took all docs possible althought they did not even ask to see them but just so u are prepared..being a virgin passport and all... |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by MrsBee1: 3:00pm On Jul 12, 2013 |
Hi Everyone. i have a few questions because i am going to the US to have my baby. me and my husband where granted visa's despite the fact i told the questioning officer i was pregnant. We just had to prove we had enough funds in our account. 1) We looking for an affordable accommodation and hospital in Atlanta.That is the cheapest ![]() 2) In elpaso for an 8week stay how much would the hospital and accommodation bill cost in total on an average, also what flights do they have available, How do one fly there cos am sure there are several connecting flights to this destination. 3) Do we have anyone in this forum going to Elpaso or atlanta in September, as all family and friends stay in the expensive and big cities. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Nobody: 1:22am On Jul 13, 2013 |
Peacenigeria gave an estimate of Doctoresparati and insuite hotel bills, totaling about 1.2M naira (I think that includes feeding too). Flighfare should be about 400k max return, for one person. Everything amounts to about 1.6M. So, I think 2M should be enough to cover a non complicated delivery in Elpaso (Doctoresparati to be precise). Are you going with your husband? Then just add his flight far and feeding to the bills. Say in the region of 2.5M. Now, this is just an estimate. U will do yourself a great deal of good if you go with more than enough money, just incase. . . I think Delta airline flies directly to Atlanta from Nigeria. Check their website. Also check the doctoresparati site. U will get the breakdwon of everything there. U will also get some recommended cheap hotels. I think the cheapest is the Insuite hotels. They charge per week and its just 3mins drive from the hospital. Check it out. Goodluck. |

Whites: Hi Mrs Bee,@ Whites, Which airline are you going with to EL Paso and how long do you intend to stay in El Paso? Any reservations yet? @ all,ANy idea about how long it takes to get birth certificate, passport n naija visa for the new born |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by bamakoe(f): 9:09am On Jul 15, 2013 |
Whites: Mrs. Bee, I haven't yet booked the flight and I'm not even sure how long I will be there. The thing is, I do not want to fly there at the very late stages- and after delivery I should hopefully be there for 4 weeks or so, as I do not want to fly back with a baby much younger than that. How late into your pregnancy are you thinking of going there? When do u intend to go as I want to go around September and stay a few months |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by MrsBee1: 11:17am On Jul 15, 2013 |
Whites: @Mrs. Bee, please check your email. ThanksI haven't received any mail, please do resend. I think i have changed my mind completely, God so good i haven't paid for the ticket i booked. I found another hospital in Phoenix with very good testimonies and affordable birthing plan. Maricopa Integrated health system. I am looking at traveling at 34 weeks at would be 1st week of September. 1)NORMAL womanly DELIVERY OPTION (WITH OR WITHOUT) EPIDURAL This option covers the cost of a normal womanly delivery and post-partum hospital stay up to two (2) days at MMC for the mother and baby.

You must pay in full $1,750 within 90 days after you are discharged from delivering your baby at MMC. ____ (initial) 3. PLANNED CESAREAN SECTION DELIVERY This option covers the cost of a planned Cesarean Section delivery and post-partum hospital stay up to four (4) days at MMC for the mother and baby.
