Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Grace28: 6:46pm On Jun 15, 2015
Greetings to everyone, most importantly...all pregnant women, expectant mothers, and all been there done that mothers. May God visit every family with the blessings of The Lord.

A silent follower I am. But I tot to give feedback when I am settled. I am also grateful to these forum....thankful to the likes of Tvegas, as I downloaded every of his script as my guide. My case was a bit different reason why I didn't have gist for visa aspect as I qualified under Visa waiver program(VWP). So for those that doubt entry to have your child under VWP. It's possible to go and have your baby, provided you calculate your stay to be within 90days. ( say 3months). However, if you plan to stay longer, please apply for your B1/B2 visa. That said, every other rule applies, POE rules, have enough cash, and every other things necessary.

I had my baby in April, baby came a week earlier to EDD. I used Dr. Fagbohun, and Oakbend Medical Center. I had asked Fagbohun what to do and I followed his instruction. Never use an ambulance on emergency, except of course you can afford it, and they might not take you to the hospital you've registered with.

Part of my experience that I wish to share and cannot be over emphasized is Never make a mistake when filling the birth certificate form and also pray that the person handling doesn't make a mistake, because it takes the same process to amend. I had my baby on a Saturday, and was ready for discharge on Sunday, so I didn't get to see the birth certificate officer one on one.

To cut the story short, There was a mistake on the form for bc which had obviously reflected on the bc itself , which had already been prepared before I got a verification note via mail. By the time I asked to change the error, thinking what's the big deal and hoping it won't be a big deal. It indeed wasn't a joke. It takes 6-8weeks to amend birth certificates and 10 to 15 days on expedited. Amendment request is sent to Austin, TX, which is where the amended copy comes from.

It wasn't funny, called Oakbend took it up and sent for an amendment, which seemed visible to get it and began process of passport and visa, like a flash two weeks passed by, BC wasn't ready, then panic set in.

We had to follow up personally with the Ausitn office. We got it on a Wednesday,submitted for passport sameday, got the passport on Thursday. Sent it for Nigeria visa on Saturday, got it on Monday, left USA on Thursday. That's a roller coaster if you ask me.


Give all Glory to God. Please ask any questions ...and. Let's see if I can be of help.

Thanks all.
