Just a question, for those presently in the USA for birthing purpose. Did you obtain the visa for medical or for tourism.

mummyellie:
Please has anyone applied for expedited passport without child's ticket?
Airline is refusing to add infant's ticket to mine because she doesn't have a passport yet and I need the ticket to apply for the passport.

Can I apply with only my travel itinerary?

Debbieeeeeee:

Medical & tourism are under same class of visa B1/B2. If your visa is approved you get B1/B2

Can anyone who has birthed in Texas kindly share timeline for baby social card. Birth cert and passport. Pls. I gave birth now 2 weeks in Dallas no social card yet. Pls kindly share timeline for baby documentation.

Debbieeeeeee:

I gave birth in Houston, I got social in the mail in about 7 days, birth cert took 10 minutes in the office although I went in person, passport took 24 hours at the agency. Didn’t expect it to be brisk especially the social.
You don’t need social to get birth cert, go to the health department you’ll get it instantly, although I got my baby’s social but I never used it for any of her applications I just told them I don’t have the baby’s ssn just yet.

Yetyb:



Please what do you mean by go to the health department? Is the city of Houston health department you are referring to. I am currently in Houston. Did you do urgent travel for the passport? Are you saying I don’t need Social security to apply for the passport? Also, I thought the hospital is the one that gives birth certificate.

Pls what was your process to get the Social security number ?

Pls Abeg, no vex, my questions are plenty

Hello

So Dr Z’s bill depends on what service he is rendering to you
Vaginal delivery - $2600
CS - $2800
You would’ve paid $300 to them before your arrival which would be deducted from his total cost

Hospital bill, also depends on either vaginal or CS
West Houston - (vaginal delivery $3600 and CS $5000)
Epidural or spinal for CS - $2000
If you are having a CS and spinal fails, it could be converted to general anaesthesia which cost more

Paediatrician - depending on who is on call the day of your delivery
Dr C billed us $550 for baby check and circumscision.
He saw baby twice before we were discharge.
We also visited his practice (Sunrise Paediatrics) twice before we left the US.
Each visit cost us $100 each.
We also had new born blood spot test (one as an inpatient in the hospital on Day 2 of life and the second one between 2nd and 4th week of life). This is to check inborn error of metabolism and some other disorder that could be managed if detected early like cystic fibrosis and Heamoglobinopathies)
We were not billed for the first one as it was part of the initial hospital bill.
For the second one we paid $50 when we went to the hospital to get the blood test done.

Hearing test cost $326

Eye test is included in the baby check that the paediatrician would do on your little one.
An ophthalmoscope will be use to check the red flex.

I hope this answers your question

All the best.♥️

Hi all.

Please has anyone applied for passport already and got an appointment with the federal passport office to walk in and apply to collect the baby’s passport same day? What what did you take along for the appointment? Also the first application has my husbands consent already, do I go to the federal appointment with a photocopy of it? Please has anyone done this process before ?

Debbieeeeeee:

Flight ticket confirmation
Husbands consent( DS 3053)
Passport biodata you & husband
One passport photo for baby
Credit card bearing your name for payment
DS - 11 form
Copy of birth certificate and original (they’ll return this in the jacket alongside passport when it’s ready)

These were the docs I took to the agency.

You should get an email confirmation from the agency confirming your appointment and the end of the email should look like this screenshot below

Kesspru:





Thank you for the response.

Issue now is I have already submitted for the passport application already. So my husbands consent has been submitted with the application. It’s just that application is delaying and I have been asked to come in to get it done. I only have the photocopies of the consent. Is that acceptable? As the original is gone with the first application I did already! I was told they will transfer my application to the passport agency appointment. I hope they do so because I will be going in with just photocopies of the consent and birth certificate as the originals are with the first application submitted already.

Sonia77B:
Please anyone here with recent POE experience or heard from someone that got in. Did you send email to embassy to notify change of intent and did you declare at POE your birth purpose? How does these affect admissibility? Kindly share experiences.

Debbieeeeeee:

It’ll be best to put a call through to confirm but I’m sure they’ll be reasonable enough to take the copies since they have the originals. That post office mailing option for passport takes a very long time which is why I waited till it was time for us to depart and I went straight to the agency.

Kesspru:



Thanks my sister for always taking your time to respond to my questions. I was given the passport today. Today was my appointment. I waited about 3hrs to pick up. Thank you so much
