Good day House! Please which one is "burden of Proof "? Is it also necessary for a hubby to write consent letter if he is not flying with the wife at the same time? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by ebonyademi: 3:47pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
Hello, pls does anyone know of any affordable hosp in Illinois (chicago). Thanks |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Babatwi: 4:28pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
mummyprincess: "Burden of proof' are the documents you take along for your visa interview and when traveling. It is to support your visa application and to convince the custom and boarder countrol officers at point of entry (POE) that your intentions are what you say they are and to also show that you have made adequate preperations and arrangement Yes the consent letter from your husband is neccessary when applying for the new born babys american passport.. i will advice you to try and read as much as you can of this thread,it will educate you a great deal.. Its importance cant be over emphasised. 1 Like |

MadameU:Well done. God is faithful. It's always better to be over prepared. Your post is very insightful. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by GFavor: 6:21pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
@nefertitiram It was not until about 21st ago I went to BE to confirm my booking that I was told I didn't need a UK visa. I was pissed. These agents sometimes are not up to their game. The initial dallas flight was about 7k cheaper. From ur experience any advice on the poe? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Babatwi: 6:43pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
customised87: You can print out the consent form from the us govt passport application site. It is suppose to be signed by yourhusband and also by a notary public. 1 Like |

Hello Gfavour, don't worry but just pray for God's favour. I went in tru Chicago in August. I got my visa for vacation purpose while I was still single and never used it for that purpose cos I got married not long afterwards. After we decided to av our baby in d US I wrote to d embassy to inform them. When we got to Chicago (my hubby, my mum and I) and d CBP g heard child birth, he sent us for secondary inspection andd we waited for about an hour cos I guess they needed to see my interview transcript to verify what I told them durin my interview. Also d reason for my hubby's trip was to witness d birth of our baby and he told d VO that during d interview in Lagos. They checked that too in Chicago. Afterwards we were all stamped in for 6months. No bag was checked as well. GFavor: |

please can someone tell me what is certificate from port health.? how do one get it? is it a medical scan at the port to confirm EDD of preggie? urgent n clear answer needed please.. MadameU: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by nefertitiram: 7:58pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
ebonyademi:Hi, well, most of d doctors in Chicago will prefer you walk in and review u before they take up your case. You need an ob/gyn 1st this will determine d hosp u will use. Chicago is a medical city, there r like a million hosps in every corner, sometimes like 6 on 1 street. The cheapest I found is St Joseph, but I hear cook county general hosp is also cheap and good. Then in the south suburbs, there is Ingalls Health Systems in Harvey Illinois, they give up to 40-60% discounts for self pay patients. Other hosps around are mostl on the same platform as St Joseph (Presence group). The only Ob/gyn I was referred to will not give an appointment. They don't even reply to emails. |

@saved2serve, Pls I asked a while ago about what I saw pasted on d wall inside d V.O's cubicle. This might be a vital piece of information. Thanks. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by Saved2Serve: 8:25pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
it was list of documents i feel they deem so important.....most of them we hv mentioned here. pls let me add here, try and get a reference letter from ur bank addressed to the US embassy, plus make sure your bank statement comes out in color, notarized n stamped by the bank. for me, they didn't see my 6mill balance. the vo just looked constantly on the page that had not more than 30k transactions. in all we got 2yrs visa... jyde2014: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedure? by mummyprincess: 8:42pm On Dec 20, 2014 |
@ Babatwi,tnx a lot. We actually went those documents for interview (me, hubby n kids) but the interview didn't even ask for anything. The visa was for family vacation though n I wasn't pregnant at the time but my hubby as the sponsor has decided to write the embassy to let them know of our intention to use the visa for bathing as well. But the big thing for me here is that I will be going alone since the kids will be doing their exams at the time n hubby will come with them like 2 wks to EDD. |

House, pls anyone who has had a successful poe at chicago pls advice on what to watch out for at Chicago POE.[/quote] Contrary to what some might think Chicago poe was more or less a breeze for me. Got to chicago about 2 weeks ago (Turkish Airlines) Ours was the only flight that arrived by that time (6pm chicago time). The flight was quite long so when I got to the airport I had to freshen up. As I was retouching my makeup I was just declaring the word. Favour favour favour. When I was done there wasnt even a queue. So I just walked straight to an available cpb officer that looked nice. The man did not even ask me anything o. He just collected my passport, finger printed, took my picture and stamped me in till june next year. It was as if the guy was tired and cudnt wait to go home. Ive been going to chicago yearly for the past 7yrs so I guess he just thot twus my normal yearly vacation. I thot I was dreaming o. Its really cold in chicago so I had to wear heavy clothing. I guess he probly dint notice or he was just being lazy. I thank God all the same. May your poe experience be smoother than mine. Amen 3 Likes |

You are so right. So many hospitals. I found a cheaper hospital but im not sure about the doctors fee. Mount Sinai Hospital fee is $2000 for vaginal for self paying patients and it covers all hospital related fee, aneasthesiologist, 2 days hospital stay for both mother and baby. This is no advert. Are you in Chicago? Im yet to get a quote from an obgyn and pediatrician. You can look into it as well. |
