Hello Guys,

Need Info from anyone who just used oakbend in Richmond or somewhere in Houston
Dr Z did not provide an itemized bill statement but rather a different document highlighting that that is what they give patients.Also, oakbend just forwarded zero balance letter and we asked for itemized zero bill statment and they said they no longer give this.
Please advise if this is a new and general trend coz I know the VO and CBP usually ask for itemized statements and we got this the last time we used oakbend two years ago
ask account... Go to the office and meet her... She's flexible and prompt.

Ask for ur receipts.... I doubt they'll deny u that.

So zero balance is from Hosp.
Dr will give u theirs
Pediatrician will give theirs
Anesthesiologist will give theirs
Brown and associates will give theirs.

So these are ur itemized bills.
Trust me the long sheets or receipt from d Hospital.. Especially Hospital leads to no visa ( most times) ... E dey put person for trouble...
Cos vo or cbp don't understand how 19000 became zero after 2300.. If u like speak English.. Dey won't understand ur self pay "bullsh*t"

Hello all pls kindly advice me on what next to do cause am confused. I applied n got a b1/b2 visa in 2014 for vacation,used it twice for vacation n my 3rd visit was for childbirth last year.I gave birth,paid all my bills n got my zero balance letter n came back to Nigeria few days to the 6 months that was stamped on my passport (I left for us when I was 6 months pregnant, baby came at 41weeks n was advised by my doctor to let her have her first immunization which is at 2 months plus the passport processing n all).The problem now is that I submitted my passport for renewal in January but was called for an interview in Abj n was refused,I reapplied today again n was refused.
Vo-why are you going to Florida
Me-Short vacation to celebrate our wedding anniversary n daughters bday
Vo-What do u do
Me-Am a PR manager with-----
Vo-Is your husband here in Abj
Me-yes
Vo-Sorry I can't approve your visa now
I was hurt cause I used the visa well,paid all my bills but she didn't even ask any question that will make me explain myself.I want to reapply asap,pls what do u advice I write as the reason why I was refused?Am thinking of going to reapply in Lagos cause that's where I was issued the previous one plus the rate at which they were just dashing out green paper today is discouraging

How long were u stamped?
How many weeks were u when u entered d US.

I'm trying to b sure u didn't over stay ur visit

Hello house, pls I'm new here even though I hv been following this thread for quite sometime. I recently travelled mid may to nj and stay with sil. Well she searched for a neighbourhood clinic for me after I arrived at 31wks saying it will be cheaper than the doctors office. I had no choice since I couldn't find one by myself so I agreed and had to pay $ 190 for first visit. Same day I was asked to pay $ 142 for lab and $150 for ultra scan. I paid all these n I decided in my mind not to go for any visitation again till am ready to give birth! because I'm on a budget. Alas! Just within a week, I started getting mails dropped for me at home and on opening saw $175, $600,$400 from lab and the clinic too. I called the lab but was told I had zero bal with them but I'm pondering why the 2 later bills were sent from them. I'm so pissed right now that I didn't discuss these bills with my sil because she told me from onset that the clinic visit will be cheap and I will eventually be referred to jfk hospital for birthing which we dn't even know what their cost will be on the long run, I had my first child in the UK but I only went in for emergency and that was what I was charged. This her own process of clinic is drilling my pocket cos I told them I'm a self pay and actually thought I should be discounted but no. I'm now praying no more bill comes from this clinic. Now my Question is...Shouldn't I be informed before these tests are run? Should I just wait till I'm am about to give birth and head straight to hospital rather than this clinic that just want to generate money from me because I was told each follow up visit will cost $110 bi- weekly. Anyone with useful information on how to go about this process will be appreciated. I'm stuck with her cos I hv a toddler otherwise I would just have ported to another state.


U call d Hospital and tell dem u r self pay. Ur initial payment agreement shld still stand

Dear All,

Following my last post regarding the change of intent letter, I sent an update of intent to their Abuja office and got an automated reply giving me answers to some Frequently asked questions and asking me to resend my mail to their Lagos office if it relates to an immigrant visa case. I really dont know if this is the generic response or if I should still write the Lagos office. Is the automated reply sufficient?

I will really appreciate your input on this.
that's just an automated response.
Chill d real reply will come

My husband was denied Visa few months ago. Our passports are both virgin. My MIL is widely travelled so I was thinking using her as a sponsor would boost our chances.

I would even advice you find a better sponsor because why cant your husband sponsor will be the first question
when grown ass people cant sponsor themselves is another issue
People need to know getting a visa is all about showing how responsible you are and they also wanna know you are financially capable to handle the trip
Childbirth journey na real money dey kill am o even if it were to vacay purposes i doubt they would be happy to give you.
MIL pension to sponsor child birth. Kwa! Think am well o my sister and dont waste time and money

I see alot of visa on arrival.

Here's my take.
Naija passport is $107 and u get it same day. And it's 5 years before it expires.
This visa on arrival... U'll still do a naija passport Las Las. Why not just opt for it.

I see most of u are flying in and out through jfk too.
Why not spend one or two nights in new York... Do naija passport after all u get it same day if u get there before 1 pm. If u r Waka Waka like me.... Do small sight seeing... grin

My poentry and poexit was jfk.
I added naija passport to my to my plan.
Except d state u r going to u r flying direct there.... But if u r flying to a state where u wanna route ur flight... Why not route it through somewhere convenient in terms of naija passport and cbp...
Plus most of us leave with our husband's... So it becomes vacation plus documents palava... Another state to enjoy. I mean spend one or two nights there..

Hello everyone. I'm new here, have been reading this thread for the past one month. I'm planning to have my 1st missionary journey (first time mum). -i'm yet to apply for visa coz I need some clarity. My MIL is the sponsor (we would be travelling together). she's a retiree who earns pension. However she just sold a property and the money was deposited into her account. This account is what she intends to present as her account statement for our trip, sure the amount in there Is more than enough for the missionary journey. My question is, since there's a sudden inflow of cash into the account, would that raise an eyebrow? Is there something to worry about? She's widely travelled so her passport isn't virgin.
Pls suggestions and advice are welcomed.
1. Yes sudden inflow of cash will raise an eyebrow.
2. Mil as sponsor get as e b...

Let assume u r d vo.
Sponsor is ur Mil, same person has sudden inflow of cash... You'll definitely be suspicious

Lol... They can't advertise because people pay for their Hospital to be advertised.

What u can do is to pm people that recently went to birth there.
Or better still call d Hospital and get their recent quote.
Remember u wan go spend millions... Research and get good deals.
