Thanks lady G. I will update the house although i am proccessing using elpaso because i feel its affordable and the fact that other nigerian mothers would be there. New jersey is now plan B cos i dey reason wahala wey people dey get when dey stay with friends dey are not too close with. Although i am still open to other places that are affrodable and have and affordable accommodation near them.

LadyGuinivere:

Good you have been reading so this reply should be expected. Hospitals in NJ, cost and procedure is all this thread is about. It is a matter of research. Read truly and indepth. New jersey has been discussed here . Read the ist page on this thread for a general guide on how to go about the process.
Now as to the reason , most definitely you can't be advised to misrepresent. But Truly I dunno what else to be a reason to want to birth in the US. You can tell them its your dream or you want dual citizenship for your child to give him more opportunities. Its not a crime

Thanks so much ma.
God bless you. I am also processing elpaso, anyone that works. Although i am open to other affordable places. To avoid stories that touch, i may not be staying with the person i know in newjersey as i am not so familiar with them and from stories i read here, i would prefer to be on my own with my babies than having to deal with drama of staying with them.

TripleKMama:
Im NJ-bound in few weeks but my hospital cost. Im going there cos thats where I have family support so it depends on what you value most. Im hoping for some discount if I pay all at once as they claim - but they didnt say the % discount.
Vaginal delivery: $8000; CS: $12,000; Dr's fee: $3600 Anesthesia: different levels ranging from$800-$1,800. Circumcision: $150.
Tests: around $300. All the best dear.

hi nairalanders, my name is mabel koko. i am new and i must confess reading through all this post made it look like i have been here forever. i have few questions as regards givng birth in the us, and even after reading all my questions hasnt been answered as my situation is slightly different from what has been stated here. i am on a studnet visa here is australia and in the process of getting my permanet residence here. my self and hubby have always dreamed of giving birth to our child in a country where they would become automatic citizens, we tried everything posible to do that here but it didnt work as there is a criteria here that you must complete 2 years of study as part of their requirement for permanent resisdency so if i have to give birth here, the child would be on a visa like me so we go still dey same category. so we started thinking about US so atleast after all myself, hubby and pickin go come back here gather hustle for PR as we would have done even if we birth here.
So my people, how do i go about this o, as i cannot tell them at the embassy that health system here(australia) is bad as i would have done if i was applying from nigeria. although we planned going for my husbands best friends wedding in november but with what i have read here about not lying and being straightfoward to avoid future refusal, then i dont know what to do?
what hospitals are best to use as my husabnds friend stays in New Jersey?
how much will it cost?
how do i go about it in general ?
