Hello everyone
To the glory of God Almighty one of my
Like Oliver twist am believing Him for more.
Missing home ooo,can't go now cos they are still small&would need to still see Dr's till another extra 2months.

God will surely come through again and again. This news is a good one to start the day with, am smiling and thanking God. Our God never fails. Love the the babies.

This is a travel warning to all intending NIGERIAN visitors to the United States Of America ( since our ministry of interior will not do their job of issuing this caveat, let me do it for them. Afterall no be only America dey warn and issue travel bans to their citizens against other countries )

Hence if you are about to travel to the USA or are already there and you are a black Nigerian(not that I know of any other colors) especially a MALE,
Please do the following:

1. Pray before you leave Nigeria for the US. Yes you read me right. Pray very very hard. Make the witches and wizards in your village no follow you go .

2. Before you leave, cut your dreadlocks if you are wearing any. Better still, shave your head "gorimakpa". You don't want to be profiled with ndi rasta n'ese igbo. Oh yes!


7. When pulled over, slowly stop at the shoulder of the road. Make sure your hands are on the steering wheel then freeze all parts of your body. Slowly turn your head that has ur particulars taped on it to the side the police man is standing on for full view of your papers.
Tenkiu


Seriously, lets be safe out here.

@temyb, God is still blessing..he's not done with you...continue praising him in the hall way while you wait for the doors of divine healing , favor and the Windows of heaven to be opened unto you...Always remember Praise confuses the enemies, and in dia confused state we receive our blessings..praise without minding who is staring.Faith still works wonders......Congratulations!

[quote author=Nnystc post=47485664]Dear,
I thank God for you.
You really are a warrior... Able to keep your head and write these inspiring posts even in the face of a very formidable problem.

In your write-ups i sense unwavering strength and courage (even when it's obvoius that your courage and strength are taking a bashing at this time)
I dont know if you're a Christian or Muslim, but this comes to mind whenever i read your posts... Hebrews 10:35 which says Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

Personally, as a woman that God has fought many MIGHTY and impossible battles for over the years, I must tell you this... This is a very small matter before God.
He can do it. He will do it.

I remember when i was going through a very very hard time during my banking days... Things were so bad that i dropped weight from about 61kg to about 44kg in 3 weeks without even doing any exercise. There was so much trouble involving EFCC, lots of money and lots of police wahala...

I was totally innocent but for some reason i just found myself being dragged up and down... I was single with no one to speak for me, not even a boyfriend, husband or fiance! My parents lived very far away and even if they lived in town, could not even do anything for me.

I had noone. And my oppressors knew it. My account was frozen and i couldnt even feed or move around save for cash sent to me by my parents. My friends went silent and i couldnt blame them. They were even scared because they knew the problem wasnt normal.

Guess what the way out was? I was asked to meet someone at a hotel and my problems would end! Haba!!!

My sister...

One day as i was standing beside the road, waiting for a bus, i was standing near a stagnant and dirty looking pond. You know those ones all over Lagos. Green water on top... Obvoiusly no one had gone there in a long time...

The holy spirit Just put something in my mind. Is that pond really dead? What do you think is happening underneath? And i thought about it, true... There were obvoiusly things happening under that green water... water plants and creatures alive underneath. There was obviously active acquatic life under all that dirty green water. That thought process encouraged me to pray my way out of that situation.

The story of that deliverance was like a Hollywood blockbuster. You wont believe that people were telling my friends to "Tell that girl, whatever God she's serving, let her hold on to Him well well oh. This can only be God"

Thats God's way too. When it looks like all is quiet and nothing is happening, be assured that plenty is happening in a realm we can't see.
My dear, continue to hold on. Those miracles will definitely come.

Sending lots of love your way this morning. It is well with you!

Ps. You're on my prayer list for now.


Amennnnnn. Wooooooow,u have inspired me again. God bless you and all yours. If there's something I know,it is that God never fails NEVER EVER

It is with great joy i announce that my wife's Visa was approved today after we were denied last week. This forum has been of great help and it is only appropriate that i share our entire story.

VO: Will you be staying in a hotel?
Wife: No. Will be staying with a friend
VO: *Typed for several minutes*. Sorry you are not eligible for the visa

The reason for denial was due to insufficient ties.

After several brainstorming and thinking, i was advised that my wife should apply alone but then the challenge was that the next available appointment was not until August 24 by which my wife would be past 35weeks. We had to apply for an expedited interview on July 9, attaching Doctor's report (Nigeria), Doctors's correspondence (US), Budget sheet and account statements as supporting documents to justify our request for an expedited interview. The expedited interview was granted on Monday July 11 and our interview scheduled for today Wednesday.

bissysummy:
I went for my visa interview today and this is the outcome conversation btw me and visa officer. Pls kindly help me to review why i was denied visa
@firstmun, justwice and all.
Vo: good morning
Me: good morning
Vo: why are you going to usa?
Me: to have my baby there
Vo: which state?
Me: Chicago illinois
Vo: why chicago?
Me: my brother inlaw is a doctor at cook county hospital and he advice us to have our baby there.
Vo: what is your boujet for this trip?
Me: $12000
Vo: is this your first child?
Me: my third child
Vo: what do you do?
Me: am a business woman. interior design and decoration. I have staff that works for me
Vo: sorry the visa cannot be issue because of section 12(a)·usa law. And when i review the paper given to me ot says , u must have a strong tiles like schools, company and etc.
Where did you think i got it wrong? And can i reapply.? Advice is needed pls.

My Pointers and addition to what others said.

1. My number issue with your transcript is your BUDGET ( i think 17k to $20k would be more realistic for a planned CS , since you had complication during your previous CS)

2. Why Chicago? My in-law who is a doctor in Chicago recommended the hospital then i did my research and notice they are good and the fees are what we can comfortably afford, I also read the customer reviews which is also good (That sounds better, shows you are fully aware of the financial implication of your Trip and READY, Plus you made the decision not your brother in-law)

3. I think you should apply with your DH ( its a BIG plus and remember you are going for a planned CS so you need HELP there and they expect your spouse to be the Number on the list)

4. Travel history....

5. Your job? You made it sound SMALL .. (You need to sound BIG at least established and budget for the trip is something you can comfortably afford especially when its your hubby that is the Main Sponsor

6. Be confident, Be truthful and PRAY

Please reapply and good luck

It is well with you temyb
I feel so encouraged this morning..
@nnystc, your words of encouragement pierced my soul this morning
May God magnify His name in our lives

temyb:
Hello everyone
To the glory of God Almighty one of my twin was discharged today. Twin 2 would be ready to go home weekend or Monday by His grace. Soooooo grateful to God Almighty for everything,it's been a roller coaster ride but my God has been faithful. Apart from the money that is now over $300000 which I know God is working out something for us in Jesus name everything else has been good.
I tapped into singing of praise as said my one mama here&it worked. Having spent double for my own payment as it was emergency God surprised me. Coupled with the fact that am paying $1800 for a sublet room,God surprised me again today by bringing someone unexpectedly to me.
Still waiting on God for more of His miracles. Thanks to all the mamas and papas that pmed me&gave me words of encouragement when I almost lost it for the 1st 3 weeks without my babies&bills piling me but truly my God has indeed be faithful.
Like Oliver twist am believing Him for more.
Missing home ooo,can't go now cos they are still small&would need to still see Dr's till another extra 2months.

Isa 54:4 "Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame........Joel 2:26-27 Joel 2:26 "You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel:I am the Lord your God And there is no other.My people shall never be put to shame".......I am inspired by your Faith and I join my Faith with yours this morning, believing in God and declaring that over your children and over this trip you embarked on, you will NEVER be put to shame IJN. It's well. We all await your mega testimony.

Hello good people, I'm new here and have been doing my best to gather info.
This would be my first time travelling to the US and am trying to gather burden of proof for my VISA application. I have contacted Doctores sparati and I want to check if anyone has any issues or challenges using them before I proceed to enroll with them. I will be due in January and
I am also on the look out for other hospitals in Texas which offer the same kind of budget because of the current FX wahala.
Is there any reason why references to Doctores sparati is so little? Are pple not using them anymore and why? Any advice you can give me will help.

Not mentioned because all the information has already been covered and because everything is already set up when you arrive and you will not have to come here to ask questions. El Paso, being border with Mexico has always offered the most specialized birth packages for Mexican patients and Doctoresparati has provided services for Nigerians since the beginning of this thread and before. There are ALWAYS many Nigerians at El Paso once you arrive, they dont post because all of their issues (Emergency Travel Certificates, Bank Wires, Passports, Visa, etc.) are addressed by staff, not just the medical process and most people come here to ask questions regarding issues they have.

Ps. You're on my prayer list for now.

If there is anyone not inspired by this message today, dat person needs deliverance. I have learnt through the graces in the women on this forum that God uses evryone for everyone.

I knw ds message was originally meant for temyb, however we are all encouraged to have hope and keep faith. Thank you sister. May God always do for you what he started years ago and has used you to do for us.

@temyb your strength also inspires us.
You may not know ds but your testimony is in d cooler chiling. When God finally opens that cooler... Haaa!! Haa!! Haleluyah!
I usually pray that God may use me and mine to the glory of his name and so that the world might turn to him because in me they will see a God greater than evrything...but truly...that prayer is the testimony of your life; the testimony in the cooler.

Good afternoon everyone. I have bin a silent follower of this thread. I was actually one of the 2014 MIHS mamas....its bin a while tho...
I'm here to testify of God's goodness and also encourage someone.
My visa expired in March 2016 and I reapplied via Dropbox in June 2016. After a week, I got a call from the embassy to come for an interview, I was a bit disturbed cos of the $2888 we paid at MIHS as someone has said she was denied visa because of the amount we paid at MIHS. Anyways, I got all my docs ready and trusted GOD to favour me. I went in for the interview today 13th July and the following ensued between myself and the VO
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning and then I handed my passport to him
VO: what do u do
Me: told him I was a teacher in a school and also the boarding house supervisor
VO: I can see u are going to Chicago to have your baby....any correspondence with a doctor and hospital
Me: Yes and then I handed over the papers to him. He flips thru and returned to me
VO: I am actually from Chicago and I know the hospital well..We both smiled as he was describing where it was in Chicago. I was just smiling.
Then he was interrupted. At this point I just prayed that I will surely find favour and not be denied
VO: then he came back to ask where hubby was working and If he wud be travelling with me
Me: told him where hubby works and gave a full description of his roles and also said No that hubby wud not be travelling with me as he would be very busy
VO: I can see you wud be staying for 3months and that period u are supposed to be in school...
Me: I wud be in school for the first few weeks of resumption and then go on Maternity leave. He nods his head.
VO: would you be staying with any relatives
Me: No but at Extended stay America
VO: alright..hands over the white paper.You can pick up your visa on Monday and all the best on the birthing of your baby
Me: Thank you and I said a word of Thanksgiving in my heart.

Truly God answers prayers. The only document asked was the hospital correspondence. God truly Favoured Me. He is too Faithful to Fail . It's my prayer that God will perfect all that concerns us all and grant us stress free POEs and safe delivery. Thank You and God bless

@Zayt, sorry am new here and still not used to sending pm's or getting further details on posts.

I contacted the Gwinnett med centre and they gave me a bill of $10k excluding doctors fees which a 40% discount is given if a deposit of 6K is made earlier.

Please how did you get negotiate the cost to $3400?

zayt:
Hello everyone, in the spirit of giving back pls find below my journey so far..I'm sorry this is coming late but I hope it's helpful.
This is my second missionary journey to give birth so as usual I contacted the same hospital and doctor. Gwinnett Medical Center and doctor oduro.(atlanta)
First let me begin with my POE xperience. There were no hassles at all. Spent about 5mins on the queue before I was called. Interview was as follows:
Cbp officer: hi, passport pls
Me: hands over passport
Cbp: what are u here for?
Me: to have my baby
Cbp: I can see you had your first here. Are u using the same hospital and doctor.
Me: yes and I paid a deposit...
Cbp: (interupts) it's ok. You mentioned u have food items what kind?
Me: yes. Egusi, ogbono, garri etc.
Cbp: how much cash do u have on u?
Me: 12k
Cbp: (hands over passport) and asks if atlanta is my last destination or if I intend to leave town.
Me: no this is my only destination.
Cbp: ok have a nice day.

Went and got my bags I wasn't referred to agriculture and secndary inspection however on my way out I was sent to secondary inspection by a random officer. On getting there I saw about 5 Nigerians all seated and waiting. In my mind I was like oh God this pple will waste my time. Only for my name to be called barely a minute after getting there. They asked what I came for, how much I have and asked to see the money. Then I was given a form to fill, asked howfar I was and that was it. Was handed my passport and I left.
Went to doctor oduro's office the next day which was a Monday and was told I'm 36weeks and not 35 like I thought. All the same I was happy as I wanted the baby out as soon as possible.
Three weeks later I put to bed a baby boy. I was induced though. Everything went well and as planned and I was discharged the next day.

Got my baby's birth cert 6days later(had to go pick it up at vital records office)
Hospital bill total was 3400 for mum and baby (this is after the 30percent discount I was given for paying a deposit of 6k dollars. I was given a cheque for 2600 a refund for the balance.
Doctor oduro's fee was 2150. (he accepted all my tests and doctors report from naija so I dint have to pay any additional fees for tests
Circumcision was 250
First paediatric visit was 140 dollars.
Naija passport was gotten same day. Paid 95dollars I think. Not sure. It was hubby that went to pay but I heard 95 or there abt.
Then yanki passport was gotten a week after the application we expedited it and paid 169 a the post offce in down town atl.
Social security also came a week later via mail.

So just waiting for my post parfum visit wt Dr. Oduro and one more visit to the paediatrician wt baby and I'm done and heading to naija.

Sorry for the long epistle.
Wish all the mama's in the house a smooth and hassle free xperience on this journey.
