Thanks ma'am
Please I need u to confirm if what I read is correct as I wouldn't want to make any mistakes.

(1) The visa B1 andB2 is same as tourist medical..which means I don't need to fill another DS-160 form (is that correct) not minding that I only filled vacation in my form and my initial travel date isn't my due date

2) that I should proceed with the proofs that I'm capable to fund my giving birth in US

3) I hope it will not affect my chances of getting visa cuz I wouldn't mind to get the visa as a tourist and wait in Nigeria till I give birth before I visit the US. In as much I want the baby born in US I don want to jeopardise my chances..

4) during the interview if the VO doesn't ask about my pregnancy should I just keep quiet too.

Your topmost advise will be utilised
Thanks

here's my advice:
1) yes, you can proceed with th DS-160 form you already filled

2) have all your proofs that show you are capable of funding the trip including doctors correspondence etc

4) be totally upfront about the pregnancy. you do not have to wait for the VO to ask before stating it. and most importantly, do not lie.

All of y'all that have been running faster than their shadows. All of y'all that have been doing backyard and coded accomodation pm runs. Okwa una don de confess one one! Ok! Kontinu!

E get another person I de eye...still gathering evidence...

@ JD Qwueen congratulations ooo
How's our wife

Thank you sir, she's doing fine

Hmm, please check this very well o, just to be sure Dr Amajor isn't just luring you in. Follow Olokings'advice on reviews on whether or not she has handled vbac before and all.

The reason I ask that you thread with caution is that while I was in the US, my flatmate used Dr Amajor and Methodist - she wanted vbac, went into labour and was about 6cm dialated or so. When she got to Methodist and told them that it was vbac, they didn't agree. They called her doctor and her response was that she was going to put her in trouble. Long story short, she had another Csection despite her dilation.

Now, this is what she told us herself, we don't know the other part of the story.

But check to be sure o.

Maybe Methodist sugar land because when I reached out to Dr Amajor n told her I had CS previously that is why I want to repeat cs she said I could give birth via Vjayjay if I don't have any problem when she examines me.
s/n: I don't plan to use her again nor have I read where she did that. I'm giving da info based on her email to me n I don't plan to USE her n her HOSPITAL cos I've made up my mind where I'm goinG. so Goodluck n hope they don't accuse me of marketing for her.. U can reach her n ask for your self shaa
Attached is my receipts lol

Thanks a lot

@bizzle6 I have no idea but I will suggest you go to www.healthgrades.com, type Obgyn in Pearland in the search box and click on the doctor's one by one you will probably see listed there.
Hope that helps.

firsttymum:

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
4. No

Read through the thread you have plenty of time to read and b prepared. Get a jitter and pen.

You need information about the hospital (cost breakdown etc), accommodation,
You will also see other people's interview experience and learn from them.
Budget sheet

Inshort just read.... It will help u alot

Thanks a million..i have read a lot and will continue reading but what advise do u give during my interview do I just answer simply the question what are u going to US for..or I should explain what happened as per the vacation o filled and now the childbirth I decided to add... cuz most of the stuffs I read said I should keep it simple..but this my case I'm thinking, is being simple good or I should explain..thanks

Thanks I understand now but I still have difficulty getting hold of the Dr in atlanta.where I love to use...can u by any means help me on getting a dr?

very correct ooh..
most of these doctors are of the habbit of encouraging and assuring mommas that they will conduct VBAC for them and at the last minute when you have no option they will get you under the knife..

best bet if you are a VBAC candidate is to google VBAC FRIENDLY DOCTORS around your area and READ their REVIEWS to decipher amongst them who are trully VBAC experienced obgyn...

after my wifey's session during our visit to the pead, he confessed that he rarely ever if not never have seen a VBAC2 successful momma so be watchful.

make sure durring appointment booking that you notify both the obgyn and hospital so they wont toss a policy in your face when its the 11th hour.

gud luck yo.

Wow you don't say? These naija docs r scaring me o..

I have a B1/B2 Visa that I have used for the purpose I acquired it.

I am 10wks + pregnant, is it too soon for me to send the change of intent email?

it's not just about naija docs...
its particular practice with obgyns around the texas area given the law standing.

Q-Tips to identify VBAC friendly docs:
1. they have conducted LOTS of successful VBAC with patient testimonies and reviews.
2. their office practice are usually housed in the same building complex / facility as the hospital.. or at most less than 5 minutes walk/drive from the hospital.
3. the hospital is most likely to be highest level NICU facility.
4. VBAC friendly docs is not a matter of certification, its more of a matter of choice that's all..

reminder: research them well and check out all your options ontime because some of them who are true VBAC docs even go the extra mile of insisting on getting copies of your med report on the previous C-Sessions to enable them make a good decision if / not you are a positive VBAC candidate.

if the doc is so quick to tell you YES to VBAC without proper background checks and med history, bekoo just pick race or ready to be knifed...

gud luck again.

it is never to soon to send the change of intent email to the embassy as long as you have confirmed your pregnancy and hold a valid visa.

Thanks

Lol I was once in your shoes tbh! Even at 6 weeks I don begin dey scout for docs!! Nice u r planning ahead.

ozycy:
I ve had my baby and am back to my dear country Nigeria.
I used Oakbend MC,
Hosp fee, $2300
Dr E, $1900 (for every every plus including scan and papsmr , all test accepted
NIC $335.57
Brown an associate. $67.50
Total = $4603.07
Nothing new, just to add that my baby's birth certificate was ready even before I was discharged from the hospital. It doesn't necessarily take 2days plus. You can just check in the fort bend County website to know if it's ready and pick it up b4 heading home , for those that don't have enough time or you stay far from the county office. All documentation can be done in less than 2weeks, even SSN came in abt 8days time.
I learnt so much from this thread and was able to save a whole lot unlike my last missionary journey. starting from hospital to accomodation to transportation etc. Let's keep this thread moving, as for me shaa, I don hang boot o.

Ozycy, thanks for your detailed info and sorry to bother. I'm planning for futuristic 2nd journey. Please was epidural factored into that total package or is it a separate bill? Also, which clinic did you attend your ante natal appointments and class, is it different from Oakbend? Thanks

Firstty pls go an sleep dear! Rest that pretty head for my baby ahh ahh!! Chaii pls hurry up n born!! Loll

Tnx for the insight!

Yes firsttymum..( this is preparation for me smile*)
My numerous questions were as a result of my reading,and I don't want to be quiet about anything..

Like most threads I read, situations are not same.
My own case is on the ds-160, I stated Feb as visiting time but now that I've added childbirth, will I still maintain the date cuz I'm guessing my EDD to be May.
Also,my husband that will be travelling with me says. He will use 2 weeks, (is that fine by d VO noting that I will have to stay behind without him for almost 3months).

Also when d VO asks do I explain in details y I added childbirth or just answer straight and plain...

Pls don't be crossed I just want clarity,

If You have used the visa for the purpose you acquired it then it shouldn't be "change" of intent, rather "notification" of intent...

You can send it whenever you feel like, you have enough time

U have two options. Edit your ds 160. Fill another one and writw in for them to swap.
Then go with your burden of proof. Purer and simpler.
Or 2. Leave the form as is. Answer we are going for vacation and birthing. Both are b1/b2. I believe the vo already stated that in the link I sent u. After that, the line of questioning will change. If u read back, ul see situations like these.
Do the one you are more comfy with.
Finally, your husband may go with you, after you or not with you at all to the us. Know what u want to do and tell the vo exactly as it affects your home. Your application must not be on all fours with other families' application/situation
The most important thing is that your are prepared.
IMO, I advice u to go with option 1 if u still have the time. I personally like all my cards to be lined up properly

Hmmmm!!! Almost 10 pages of controversy and argument. This thread is loosing its value. All please let's leave policing, FBI'ing and CIA'ing of this thread to @Justwise. If you suspect someone, please PM @Justwise with your thoughts and include your evidence. This bullying of people has to stop. That's how someone was accusing me of being an agent too (still funny to me)

Btw still looking for cheap hospitals in the Richmond, Virginia area. Never heard back from the lady that said she had found one.

So there is no stopping. its a free forum... U wanna b laid back or b a chatter box. It's ur call
If everyone is using agent and pm what information will b left to share... Or don't u gerrit.? How can u b on this thread and b charged for information u can get for free?

And this thread isn't loosing any value. There were argument and misunderstanding in part one. There was also fishing out of agents too. And it won't stop.

When I hear bullying I'm like seriously? Bullying on a thread like this?
