I did research Denver, Colorado. Planned going there b4 I changed my mind to elpaso. Accomodation was quite expensive than elpaso. There are still cheap hospitals there. mulberry: 1 Like |

So I promised to give a feedback.. I came in through Atl Poe last week using Delta Airline. The officer at the poe asked why im here.. Told him 'Vacation' for about 9weeks. He asked How much I have on me? Asked if im married? Yes! Do I work? Nope, im a housewife for now. . He asked I come with him... took me to another officer, he asked about the same questions.. then he made a call, shortly another officer was there to pick me.. and I was led to the secondary inspection section. The lady there asked if im pregnant.. I told her Yes. Then she asked what I told the officer in here for, told her I told him im on vacation. Then I said.. yes , Vacation but of course series of event would occur during thz vacation, which may include Delivery. Then she smiled , asked if I had spoken witha doctor. I answered positive and Then I tendered documents of conversation I had with my doc and an invoice emailed to me of part payment made already.., she asked for some other documents which I had . Then I got stamped for 6months. I was told to keep all receipts as I may be asked for me on my next visit to us. 2 Likes |

Good morning my people @phemie1 walai your gist make me sweat small ![]() ![]() ![]() How can you say you are on vacation for 9 weeks ![]() Thank God you didn't meet some over zealous CBP's who could have change your reply to misrepresentation of facts because you have documents to buttress the fact that you are there to give birth. Once more we give all praise to God that it ends well. @Onlineise am so sorry about the denial, I know you already blamed yourself for taking that risk of interview but re apply and I pray that it will favourable in Jesus name. 1 Like |

Ify4charm Try doctor valisia Andrews she uses northside and charges less than 2k excluding lab. Thanks I finally got thru to her and she gave me a bill of 1700 for vaginal delivery and 1900 for cesarean. This does not include-Lab services for 750, panorama test for 495,circumcision for 495. She said she would accept my Nigerian lab results if they in a standard format eg not handwritten. She has booked me for an appointment Has any one sent medical reports to their U.S. doctor .could you pls help with the format and hospital you used in Nigeria,tests conduct with their costs. This is because my doctor does a lot of writing on my file so I doubt it ll be accepted. Also is it possible to use another doctor for circumcision to reduce the 495 bill stated . Lastly could you help with a pediatrician for Dear Ify4charm please I'm also using doctor Andrews but I got a mail from one Shannon in her office telling me that Northside does not accept any other lab work from outside the states after I enquired if I could bring mine. Please refer me to who you spoke to about the lab results. $750 is a whole lotta money. Thanks |

Hello mommas n papas n future parents. I hv known about this thread for a while but till yestrday i decided to just read and note. Im not a first time mum, infct im duebto hv my second child in may/june. Heres my story: 2 years ago hubby n i applied for a visit visa and at d time i was abt 25weeks pregnant. I didnt state it in d form and did not volunteer at d interview. Interview went well and d VO dint even ask to see any documents. At POE i had no issues even tho i did not enter with hubby. I simply told d DHS officer that hubbycouldnt mak ot because of leave. I was let in. No questions asked. Had my child paic my bills and returned. Even went on holiday again this time with d whole family before the visa expired. Visa expired, hubby and I requested for dropbox and he was granted but i was asked to come for interview. At d interview: V.O: when was ur last trip Me: June 2015 V.O: ...and before that? Me: 2013 V.O: how long? Me: 3months, I had a baby. (Officer types for what seems like eternity) V.O: how come you did not inform us you were pregnant? Me: because i was not asked at the interview (Officer types for what seems like eternity) V.O: but u knew and did not say Excuses himself and goes to supervisor and returns and asks...and now y are you applying? Me: to renew my visa incase i need to uae it again V.O : ahh ha! Im sorry you do not qualify for visa bla bla bla.. I was disapointed n crushed especially because i knw my rights. Its not an offence to travel to give birth and theres a law against visa officers asking women about pregnancy or refusing to renew bcx they had a baby in d US. Outraged, I walked away but felt crushed. A V.O desion cannot be challenged or appealled. Finally talked myself into reapplying and prayed like hell. Fast forward to my second interview and was glad to deal with a woman. Heres our conversation: V.O: where are yu goin? Me: houston V.O: For Me: Childbirth and vacation with my daughter V.O: any docs correspondence? Me: yes im using the same doc that birthed my first child (I issue her correspondence and savings plan) V.O: did you like the doc? Me: yes he took care of me post partum V.O: U paid with a credt card? Me: No debit. All payments were made befre discharge from hospital. V.O: Thank you, your visa will be granted, please pick up at ....and do pay all your bills as you did the last time. The essense of my story is to encourage you all to try. A denial isnt equal to a ban unless u realĺy erred. Plus mayb if i was honeat n upfront the first time i wont have wasted 32k d second time. Be confident and say the truth. I knw hw it felt to be denied. And i knw how it feels when you let fear cripple you. Just try. Theres no harm. Ps: my bill is abt 9k for cs (all inclusiv) im hoping to find a mom who can help with a cheaper bill in houston. I know hospitals and docs have been discussed and i knw u all want me to read...trust me iv bn reading for abt 2years bt the pages are far back and d price of dollar has changed. Someone help. 2 Likes 1 Share |

LadyGuinivere: Pele. Demand is higher than supply for fx right now. Banks are receiving $40,000 dollars now as opposed to $100,000 available for PTA. All branches are vying for their customers on that allocation. Trust naija, it's no longer by waiting list, it's God's grace and man know man now oh. Sterling bank does Money gram sha and i heard it's $1k per transaction . You can try that. |
