Obikada: 1) It depends on u..... I birthed in philly abt 3wks ago and just like u, i got my visit visa in Dec wn i was 5months preggie and ensured i used it that same Dec for visit. I returned, having decided to go back for childbirth by first week in March and sent in the notification of intent letter ( despite having used d visa 4 its purpose) just to have their response handy shld i come in contact wt a tough CBP. I ended up not using it though as i went tru ATL poe and absolutely no doc wa requested. 2) I used Crozer-Chester Medical Center which is also under the same Crozer-Keystone Health System as DCMH u plan using. All i travelled with was their correspondence which clearly states the bill (i signed the necessary parts ahead of time) & the doctor's correspondence stating her bill too. Unlike DCMH, i wasn't required to pay any bill upfront and i was to source my Obgyn, anesthesiologist and Pediatrician myself which i did and got all necessary correspondences that I could get (however like i earlier mentioned, none of this was requested). Nevertheless, i made sure i travelled with a complete burden of proof, $4k cash at hand, $5k in foreign bank acct, bank statement of hubby and I showing enough funds just in case the correspondences weren't convincing enough. I believe this childbirth journey aint a one-size-fits-all kinda situation but one must ensure that one dots all 'i's and cross all 't's. Do all that's needful and pray as well. Wish u da best 9 Likes |

I really don't know at this stage and this got me worried that how she will be carrying two if she alone goes to the state. Pls help on how to find out if ban or not so as to know next line of action. Thanks to all |

damidamsel: Thank you @damidamsel for your response and congrats on the birth of your baby ![]() From what I can gather, using Crozer chester medical center may serve me better as I can get a doctor's correspondence compared to DCHM. Please can you send me the contact details of the Obstetrician you used so I make further enquiries and a copy of your intent letter to the embassy if possible (I have a sample already but won't mind having yours aswell) Also, I have family in Philly, is it possible they could source the obstetrician for me? Also when you say "burden of proof", what did yours contain so I can have mine handy. I will be going direct to Philadelphia and not Atl POE. I pray a seamless experience. My first time wasn't stressful at all and I travelled with my husband. Look forward to your response. 1 Like |

I dont know how that is done but I know people have been able to check it as well as the status of their visa application after denials...I recall my cousin who was denied four times in Naija as regards schooling was able to get someone to check her status...the person checked with the embassy and then told her that against her application was written desperate and certain other things and she was told not to apply till after some months as any application in that period would be denied...and so about 6 months later she applied for visiting whilst studying in the UK and it was granted. Don't loose hope o...visa miracles abound so how about you ask at the US visa travel thread as well as the "ask VOs question" thread. You should find answers there... cheldas: |

Hola! So Atlanta mommas that have used Northside hospital, please what was the experience like, did you get free strollers too. I personally would prefer a free car seat. ![]() Did you get private wards? Hope your final bills didn't differ too much from the estimates given. What's it like. If you paid upfront for CS delivery and birthed naturally, did you get a refund on the difference? How was Dr. Valisia? Did she eventually accept tests from Naija? Being in Atlanta, I'd expect baby documentations to be sorted out quicker. Was this the case? Please share your experiences, it would really be a great learning. Gracias |

Hello NLnders, I have followed this forum right from part 1 and have found it educative. My DH after going thru the forum decided to have our baby in the US at the last minute, I was already 28week, so we quickly got all the necessary docs together and initiated correspondence with a hospital in Houston. Our visa interview date came(by this time I was already 34 weeks) and we both went for the interview with our burden of proof containing our correspondence with the hospital, statement of account, marriage certificate, letter of intro from my place of work etc. To cut the story short the VO that interviewed us was quite friendly and we answered all his questions. The VO then brought out the sacred white slip and asked us to come pick our visas within the week. By Monday, my DH got a mail to come pick his visa which was quite surprising as we applied together but to my surprise I received a mail on Thursday informing me that my visa application is going through an administration process and I have to wait at least 60 days before I can contact the embassy. Fast-forward to now, I have not heard from them, they only asked me to come collect my passport after 2 weeks that they will contact me after the admin processing is completed. My question is what do they mean by admin processing and can I reapply for visa again as to the best of my knowledge my visa application was neither granted or denied. BTW, I had my LO here in Nigeria eventually. But I still plan to have the next one in the US. Please help with answers to my questions 1 Like |

Until your passport returns to you, you cannot re- apply. I'm sorry you may just have to wait it out. I believe checks were being done on your application. Just pray for speed. |

Please where can I get PTA. Do you know whether the bureau De change at the airport are still operational and at what rate are they selling dollars |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by MadameU: 5:14am On May 08, 2016 |
BDCsAre still selling dollars, but not as they used to. this PTA issue don turn another thing.most banks are not selling at this time, those selling put you on a queue which still does not guarantee that you would get at the end of the day. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by LadyGuinivere: 5:33am On May 08, 2016 |
Nickair:Admin processing means they are conductingchecks, validating the details you supplied. Whether you can reaaply will depend on the result of the check. If u get the Visa, clearly u don't need to apply again. If you don't, then you will need to find out why you were refused to know the apprioprat course of action |

najalady86: Congratulations to you and all mums who have delivered of their LOs. God bless you all. To that mum that gave birth at 34weeks , It was indeed a miracle. I gave birth at 34weeks 5days and all my babies were in the NICU for about 2 weeks before they were discharged. Paying NICU bills is not beans. Glory be to God for such a miracle. Now, this your doctor is amazing. Will certainly use him for my next journey before T shuts the door on us. 2 Likes |

Obikada:Got into philly on Monday, jfk Poe, no questions asked but proof that you can pay your bill you must have as you never know. I don't think change of intent is necessary as you've used the visa for its stated purpose. I dint send any. Using the same hospital and meeting my financial adviser on Tuesday. All the best |
