Hello mums,

Thank you for the responses. I really appreciate all the education and information.

I will also like to find out if anyone has ever used any hospital in Minnesota and what the person's experience was.

I actually have family there and I am considering the option.

I will really appreciate any info on the hospital and the full costs.

Thanks again.

Hello house, I just received a letter of appointment from Dr. Glenn Morgan for August but the letter is not his signatory, rather one Terry of a guy, I guess in his office. Has any one used Dr. Morgan's letter before for interview with Terry as a signatory? Would it pose a problem knowing that it wasn't the Dr. that actually signed it? Also, between Dr. Morgan and Dr. Fagbohun letters, which one is best advisable to use for the interview? Pls help!!!

Thanks so much

please I need an urgent reply on this if anyone can help out. I was at the US embassy last week and I was given an admin letter to come back with my corresponce with the doctor and a birth plan. I've gotten the corresponce but I feel its not detailed enough. I got a reminder from the doctor about my upcoming appointment and I also replied. Is that enough to take back to the embassy? Also, I'd like to know what a birth plan constitutes. I'm planning on using MIHS.

Hello,

I will also advice you ,that in addition to the appointment remindal letter you got,you should also go to MIHS website and print out their self pay package plan.,and also take it with you.
With regards to a birth plan,i think Phema did justice to that on the old thread

Hello mums and mum to be. I want to give back to the wonderful forum that impacted so much to me, though my story is coming in a bit late.
I delivered my baby girl last 2weeks at Parkview Community Hospital, Riverside California. I will tell you that l had a wonderful experience with the hospital and doctor respectively. The hospital bill for cash pay patient Normal delivery is $1150(1day), $2300(2days) and C Section $3950(3days) excluding epidural. Doctor's bill is $1700, laboratory test $200-250, pediatrician $300. Hearing test is free. I believe this ll help someone in d house.

Congrats to you and baby!. Please help us ask people around for name and location of affordable accommodation with kitchen/kitchenette (between $700 - $1200 per month) even if it's one hour from the hospital! Most very cheap hotels are not usually online. Thanks and sorry for the trouble at this time but I really need this info. I don browse taya.

Did you already state you will be going to Phoenix /MIHS? If not, I will sincerely not advise anyone to use MIHS for visa interview purposes. Their correspondence is not so detailed.

is an email correspondence stating the fee and an confirmation of appointment from the staff of the Doctor ok for my burden of proof.
Do i need to collect a signed letter.

Good Day House,

Is there any wonderful mum heading to Miami Florida or Atlanta Georgia?
I would like any suggestion asper affordable hospitals and the best POE for the two.

Thank You

Check www.airbnb.com. Better yet, download the app and you can use the map to search for accommodation closest to hospital

California is expensive though.

So you can get Doctors appointment too now at MIHS? I thought it was appointment with financials only? Kindly educate me please. Should I send them an email to book an appointment with a Doctor?

I think you are ok with that,i dont think its compulsory for the doctor to sign the letter.all they need to do if they are in doubt about the authenticity of the letter is email or call them to confirm that the letter originated from them

Hi my advice is go with whatever correspondence you have, a print out of the maternity package agreement, a breakdown of intended expenses related to child birth and a detailed breakdown of how you would want your actual delivery to be conducted. There are samples of such birth plans online.. All the best.

Thanks everyone for the reply.
I already stated at the embassy that I'll be using MIHS so I don't think I can change it anymore. However, I got In touch with El Paso and they replied immediately to my questions. Im thinking of taking my correspondence with them to the embassy as a backup just in case. What do you think?

chidaroy:
Please send doctor's info and How did you sort accommodation?

@ Chidaroy. Here is the phone no, Dr Mba Helena 9516975800. I am putting up with a family friend but promise to get back to the house as soon as l get affordable accommodation.

Kingsmum:

I will not advice elpaso. Sometime ago on this thread people were having issues with dresparati letters at the embassy. You can do Dr Fagbohun instead,

hi,

I was told the same thing at the embassy and i asked the same question at one point. I downloaded one "birth plan" thing from baby center which was rejected by the VO. I later showed her the doctors appointment and hospital bill (unpaid though) alongside my bank statement and hubbys as well. Good news is that we got the visa. I really don't know what the birth plan thingy is till date. My advise is just pray and go with what you can get "as soon as possible". Don't delay.

Hi NLders,

Please I need an urgent response to this, My doctor wants to send me my Appointment letter but is asking what should be contained in the letter, please apart from appointment date, what else should it contain or what should be stated. Thanks
