Hi people. So I finally get to share my interview and PoE experiences. Pretty uneventful except the part where I discovered that my passport wasn't stamped 2 days after my arrival. So I made the application for myself, hubby and son and went for our interview in March armed with the burden of proof and all. Thanks to all the people that made this thread what it is! The interview went like this; VO: Hello Us: Hello VO: Where are you going ma'am? Me: Atlanta VO: What's happening there? Me: To have our baby at NSH. VO: What's your budget for the trip? Me: About 19K USD VO: What do you do? Me: I work as a .... with ... VO: What are your roles? Me: I explained my job description briefly VO: What do you Sir? Hubby: I work as a .... with XYZ VO: What kind of company is XYZ? Hubby: It's a ... manufacturing company. VO: Ok. (types briefly) VO: How do you intend to fund the trip? Me: We have a joint savings account with about xx million naira, we intend to fund the trip from that account. VO: Your visas have been approved. Make sure you carry all your receipts when going in and out of the US. That was it. No documents were checked. After about a month of filing an application, Igot 2k PTA from Standard chartered. Hubby's own was canceled after the floating currency policy was launched. (I canceled the Form A application for my hospital bill yesterday after almost 2 months of applying and na still story I dey hear). Flew Air France and traveled at 34 weeks 5 days with a very active 2-year old. The airline asked for a copy of my F2F from my hospital. I booked wheelchair service but didn't use. Had about 4 hours stop at Paris. Flight was ok but the seats were too tiny with very little room. Just one meal and a snack were served on each leg. No colouring books for the kids. I was really disappointed in AF. Anyway, we landed safely in Atlanta and joined the long but swiftly moving queue. Used a self kiosk to fill in the declaration form. While using the touch screen, my toddler was busy pressing the buttons below and selected Yes for "bringing commercial merchandise to the US" and submitted. The assistant and I were wondering how the form got submitted before we realized it was the boy doing his thing. The CBP interview went thus; Me: Hello Officer: Hi, passports please. Where are you headed? Me: Atlanta is actually my final destination. Officer: What are you here for? Me: To have my baby at NSH. Officer: How much do you have? Me: 2k USD in cash and 7k on my card. Officer: So you're going to pay your bills? Me: Yes. Definitely Officer: You declared food, what sort of food did you come with? Me: Rice, Yam flour, dried fish, crayfish etc (couldn't even remember everything, was really fagged out!) Officer: What commercial items did you come with? Me: That was an error, (I explained what happened).I didn't come with any commercial items. He took my finger prints. Handed me my passports with the white slips and said I was free to go. I was so relieved but still very tired and said to myself, I'll check how long he stamped me in for when I get home. Picked my bags. Went to agriculture, they ran my bags throught the scanner and said I was free to go. 2 days later, after I had gotten over the stress of settling in, I decided to check my passport (in my mind, I was certain, it would have been 6 months). Na so I no see stamp o. Checked my son's, same story! Ran to uncle google and learnt that I could check my admission status on the I-94 site. So I logged in my passport details and it returned with the I-94 information, showed the day I entered the US and that I had been admitted till December. I was relieved but still decided to send them (US CBP) an email to be sure I won't have any issues due to the absence of the stamp. They replied the following day saying no shaking. Had my first appointment with Dr. VA today. Next one is in 2 weeks. Thanks to all the contributors, I got bulk of the information I used to plan this trip from this thread. 29 Likes |

[quote author=najalady86 post=47040801]Hi beautiful people, Got a lot of PMs regarding my last post and replying all will be kinda tasking as most people are asking similar question. Hope I can share the details here? for the hospital and Dr., i have already shared it in the past. It's St. Francis hospital and Dr. M The 2700 you pay hospital covers all services recieved in the hospital including hearing test. You also get a complementary toddler stroller. Circumcision was ok but they left a little bit more fore skin than our naija Doctors would normally leave. My baby's Dr. back home here says its ok though. For the accomodation, it's actually a big 3 bedroom flat that comes with swimming pool and gym. It goes for 2500 per month. Three, two or even four people can combine and take it as the living room is equally big. It's available from 1st July. Pls if you are interested, get people to share with and reach out to me asap. I am only assiting as I know this our forex regime is not smilling at all. Pls will the accommodation still be available by October? |

Fabdevy: First of all lets declare healing for your LO. Trust God and let him use your family to his glory. Im sorry about all dt was said and how you feel or felt ...my hairdresser once chastised me for taking ice in pregnancy dat her sister's baby has seizure bcz of the cold drinks the mother consumed and i told her politely, clearly but firmly that its not true. Before anyth (hot or cold) gets to the stomach the body regulates d temperature. The worst is a burn or chill on your tongue. Having said that...mistakes are made everywhere in the world including America. So if you can assertively prove negligence then please by all means sue. However, im worried about your burden of proof because the doc wont release his records and if ts true he/she was negligent then d records will definitely be unavailable. As to small pelvis...smaller women may have smaller birth canals. On the plus side, it actually helps carry babies longer as its tighter and cozier. On d flip side, you may require an assisted birth. So it may also b true that your birthing needed help. Just take it easy and pray. All d best whatever you decide. 11 Likes |

Fabdevy: My dear, all I can say is that may Almighty God help heal ur baby and may the forth coming one not have any medical complications. It's wel with you. If you are sure your first baby had seizure cos o the forceps used abeg sue them cos oyinbos no dey joke with it but anyways, God is ur strength. All the best in ur missionary journey. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by LadyGuinivere: 6:01am On Jun 30, 2016 |
Fabdevy:.Modified Post: The desicion to sue would be dependent on the cause of the palsy. If it happened in utero or after birth. And if it was a result of the doctor's negligence. So if your mind dey there, consult a lawyer. He'll know how to ask for your records. Proceed from there. Sorry about the diagnosis . Congrats on the new baby |

greatie:I had my first baby at oakbend... I enjoyed their services. But some people did and didn't. Mostly because their hands were full. Relax be calm. Talk to God and tell him what u want. For ur sake all the nurses will b alert and at ur service. U are not forcing him. At least the rush on oakbend has reduced so see it as an advantage. Sweetie pray now so u don't pray tomorrow. Commit this entire delivery, the Dr's and nurses Inshort all the health care providers into God's hand. Let the Holy Spirit be in charge of ur delivery. I'm sure you will come and tell us how superb ur delivery went and how lovely and wonderful the health providers were. 9 Likes |

Fabdevy Ur post got me all emotional. But I think u shld b sure.... These Dr's know how to cover their asses. For the weight of ur baby he shld have been able to pass ur cervix.... So d forceps part confused me. Cerebral palsy occurs before during or after birth. Pls be sure which one occurred in ur case... And the seizures especially at an early age like that can also cause brain injury . My advice, get a bad ass lawyer... If u still wanna sue. |
