Madam...I picked this information from the actual form I filled. Yes everyone will get B1/B2 on their visa. But during the application process, she is meant to fill it the way I type it. I don't know how long ago you filled the form, but that is what is obtainable now in Lagos. I understand back in the days it was just B1/B2 for our pioneers....but it appears they have introduced B2 which is just a sub category to narrow that your purpose...we always have to keep up with changing times. Thanks

firsttymum:


I'm gonna correct something. I have a B1/B2 visa I'm sure most of us here does. DRPINKY IS correct with the B1/b2. Picking only B2 isn't wrong but picking b1/b2 is also NOT wrong As a matter of fact it's broader. I've used my B1/b2 for child birth, for vacation, for training. I'm sure u get my point
DRPINKY ur B1/b2 is very correct.. You are on d right track

Just found out I'm preggie last week, it really been disturbing for me as it wasn't planned, but I thank God. My EDD is mid December and I have alot to do.

Quick question, I haven't been taking prenatal vitamins till last week and I'm past my 1st trimester, hope my baby will be okay. Also I started dieting like 3weeks ago, was just on fruits for 2weeks (I stopped the day I found out) hope it won't pose any side effects to my baby.

I have done 3 scans since I found out last week and all three say my baby is developing fine, also I have discussed with my gynaecologist and he says it will be fine but I'm still worried.

Now I'm on to preps, any info on cheap ticket to California, will be travelling late November. I would have loved to use Dr M since he is cheaper but I will be staying in Apple Valley in San Bernardino and it's about 2hours away. So I will just stick with my ob/gyn and hospital that I used last year (total bill was 5,500 for normal delivery).

Please if anyone has info on cheap tickets, please holla, I want to buy my ticket next week.

Thanks.

It likely I will be using Delta to New York cos I will be leaving after 36weeks. Then take a local flight to LAX.

Please who has had any recent experience with Atlanta POE.

I don't understand what is going on here...but from what I gave learnt here and from what I saw on my own application,for anyone planning to birth B2 should be the first thing on your mind,anywhere B2 pops up click it,at the end you'll still end up being issued a B1/B2 visa class.

@trippleKmama,i think it's wrong to think as long as long it's a B1/B2 (which is actually the right class) all is fine(not everybody gets away doing the same wrong,ori ya to si ori) people have had issues at POE just because they didn't declare pregnancy,especially someone who got the Visa while already pregnant.

Ain't u lucky? U breezed past ur first trimester without even knowing it?
Super lucky!
Congrats! wink

U can still use Dr M. Stay at ur planned accommodation but move to his hospital area towards EDD. U can share accommodation wit fellow Dec peeps like me grin - dat will reduce ur stay and cost.
BA from Abuja to LA is abt $1500. United is usually affordable too. All d best!

@njidekachi, congrats on the arrival of your LO. Could you pls send Dr. M's email addy and Mr. Fred's contact? Thank you

njidekachi:
To God be thy Glory , my LO arrived 2 days ago . Dr mbagwu in los angeles as usual was on top of the game.

Mr fred into real estate ( my host, i am currently in one of his apartment) was God sent from above. May God reward him richly cos he has been very helpful and kind . I am really feeling at home thou I came all alone.

Ended up with csection cos was not dilating well after induction due long labour and babys heart beat was dropping well le.

Bill for csection still same

Wishing all expectant mothers safe delivery, Amen.

This is a new one. But a very important question. I really can't help, but I'm hoping someone else can provide an answer to this

Errrm me thinks that for a gynae to be able to send a letter there has to be some issue that requires a referral. But i may be wrong though.

The requester can try any of the doctors mentioned here for birthing. They are all obgyn's and if the request is possible they will help process the letter.

All the best. God bless your plans

LadyGuinivere:

Narrow your search to a state
Search for hospitals.
Email them. The patient co-ordinator will get back to you. All the back and forth between you guys is correspondence. That can be used for visa application. You can also get an appointment.
If the Virginia/ maryland area is ok you can check
1. Shady grove- they have many branches
2.Inova
You can pm me. I think I still have the business card of one co ordinator like that



Lady G, gurreven. Biko I pm'ed you. Will be in Atl next month and I wouldn't mind seeing a gynae just to check up. Thankio

Hello Everyone, I am kind of in a fix.DW and LO are billed to fly back home via Arik on the 9th but LO hasn't gotten Naija Visa or naija passport Yet. Rescheduling the arik flight isn't an option cos DW needs to get back to work Next week. Anyone knows any agent in houston that can help with whichever will be faster either visa, passport or ETC .Called Tanko already but he said he won't be working till 11th cos of the 3day public holiday.yankee's independence and the 2 day naija holiday.

Sorry to butt in here but I don't think anyone forms anything. It makes the thread redundant to keep repeating answers that have been given a thousand times. I started reading this thread in early 2015 before I even got pregnant (even read part 1 twice - long story, lol) and I did this because it was important to me.
You can't go and spend 3 million naira and up without doing adequate research, waiting for people to give you answers to everything. If nobody answers you, will you say that's why you couldn't have your baby in America?
A question like "where did you get that ticket price?" doesn't count as a redundant question because it's not a topic where last week's answer is this week's answer. Sorry this is so long but we all need to do better.

Hi once again, since we didn't declare she was pregnant during our interview can she travel alone now for the vacation then come back before i join her on the baby birth trip around october provided the letter of change of intent comes with a favorable response? Also i need to ask her chances at the POE considering her baby bump should be around 22weeks at the time I want her to go for the vacation//// I'll appreciate your advices.
