sabi mamas and papas please I want to ask.... before that let me say wow they is sooooo much info here i have barely slept and there's still alot unread!! Thank you all

1) if you are self sponsoring (business owner) is it necessary to add hubby's accounts etc for the visa application? what docs replace employment letter, leave letter, intro letter etc
2) I am modifying a budget sheet from from from part 1--- its seem similar to that of part 2 so is it okay or do i need to use exact costs from hospital?
3)is it advisable to pay a deposit to the hospital before visa application? are they any hospitals that refund fully if visa refused?
when is the ideal time to apply?
4) has anyone use es para ti documents for visa application lately?part 1 and 2 seem to suggest that VOs dont like it very much

Please can anyone assist with a respond- Thank you

Good luck with your water birth and birthing center. We are here for you when its time for renewal and you need to rant.

For the benefit of doubt, click on my moniker and read back just for the fun of it. If I had a case with the VO, maybe I hitched a ride over the Atlantic just to chill in US.

Lol. Aunty No time to focus on reading all your moniker posts like you look forward to reading mine. Like you know my travel history abi,or I asked you how to go about getting a visa. My only inquiry was about water births. And it was a very straightforward simple question.Biko if you don't have helpful info, free me. And sharing a bad or good experience of mine is by choice not by force. I was in plain simple communication here when you decided to get rude. Just keep moving abeg if youve chosen to rather be rude than helpful.

You and nefertiti should please chill. This thread has survived 4 parts for over 4 years or so because people speak openly and helpfully.

Hello TripleKMama, I applied for a visiting visa with my DH and kids and we were granted though I was pregnant but at the very early stage so it wasn't showing on the day of the interview. Much later into the pregnancy, DH and I decided to have the baby in the US.

This address is the former bank phb inside orji uzor kalu house near NERC but I'm not sure anything is happening there. I got my travelex from skye bank gimbiya Street.

You'll also need your bvn. Go with your bvn card or the phone registered with the bank you did your bvn because they'll request you use the *565*0# service in front of them so they're sure it's your bvn.

And try to go with cash. Those who transferred had a long wait as travelex said they'd have to confirm receipt before they can do anything. They don't have POS either.

Hi Tolulope! LO and I are goodd. Thanks for asking.

Tests that i did:
Vitals (blood group, genotype, urinalysis,urine m/c/s, etc), chlamydia, gonorrhea, VDRL, HIV, Rubella, 2hrs Glucose Tolerance test, Hepatitis B, 3 ultrasounds at different stages of my pregnancy, Group B Strep ( but mine wasnt accepted cz they used urine to run the test instead of vaginal swab).

I dint do Pap smear in Naija cz of the usual story of being far gone into the pregnancy and the risk. Dint do it when i got here either maybe cz of how my first visit and labour went.

So, all my tests were accepted and i did not do any here. But i think the doc will request you do or redo a test he isnt satisfied with.

Prenatal visit entails you seeing the doctor, having a one on one discussion with him,going thru your medical records,requesting for tests where the need be etc. He's a friendly man so it's just a time for chit chatting and getting to know you and how healthy you are.
I hope i have answered your questions.

@ tolulope9009 thanks for asking.....@AdomMum thanks for responding
This info is very useful to me as i will be using the same doctor, my apointment with him is in 2wks. have all my test and 3 of my scan results. Plan to do the Group B strep with the doctor, am also glad to know the doctor is friendly.

Thank you everyone that replied including TripleKMama. I eventually located the place but sadly didn't get after the long wait with my mum. My husband also tried the Asokoro branch with no luck. So many people and they barely gave most.

I really don't know how to send a pm so please can you help us out with Forex? How do I contact you? Thank you.

Don't give up. Go back tomorrow morning. The day I went there I was told that the previous day they only had $20,000 and once they had finished giving it out they stopped for the day. That's like 5 people! So know that its also subject to availability. Go back early in the morning and as much as I hate to say this- take advantage of your preggy status. Form making enquiry and talk to one of those ladies in charge. They were really nice to me and didn't delay me at all. All the best!

I see that no one has attempted to answer you,so let me try:
1) I don't think it's absolutely necessary to add your husband's statements of account if you are sponsoring yourself ,afterall single women sponsor themselves. Add Documents that show that you are the owner of the business etc
2) In your budget sheet you will need to use the exact cost from hospital & doctor to match with your doctor' & hospital correspondence and you will also adjust the exchange rate to reflect present rate..
3) It is not compulsory to pay a deposit to the hospital,flow with your heart,some VO see it as an act of desperation,while others see it as an act of seriousness ,no fast rule here.. some hospitals don't refund 100%,they make some deductions before refund.
4) People still use the Dr esparati, i have not read that Vo had any issues with them lately . I hope i have been able to help. All the best in your quest.

Hi every one am new on this forum and I appreciate all comments raised so far. I can hardly digest all from 1-4. Got to know about this forum late.

Pls my question is , my flight is next week, Houston to be precise. Pls am seriously in need of a Doctor and hospital at Katy , cos my host stays at Katy.

I seriously need an appointment letter from a Doctor at Katy cos i believe I might need it at POE. Pls help a sis . Even if I have to pay in advance.


Your doctor's correspondence doesn't have to be from a Dr in Kathy,it could be from a Houston Dr as well and you can port to Katy.. Texas is the most used state on this thread ,so your getting a letter from a Dr & hospital in Texas shouldn't be a big deal

I wanted to use card but cos my card bares my maiden name, I didn't use it to pay cos I read somwher that the name on the card must match the baby's last name. So I bought 2 money orders at USPS $77 and $30, I mailed the 77 on Friday evenin to innovate services(the instructns is on the page) then I got a confirmation n appt date yesterday. It's easy. All the best.

P.s don't mail the $30 money order cos u r meant to take it along wit u on the appt day.
