Hello House,

I had my LO on the 21st Feb at Baylor Scott and White Medical Center, Carrollton. I will revert with bills when I get it all sorted soon but for now I need help with Letter of Consent for my LO American passport. Is there any mum or dad coming to the states this week or next? DH is available in Lagos to drop it off anywhere... Please this is urgent, Help a sister in need.

boluwagin:


So just as I promised to share my total bill and experience for my first Missionary Journey:

Hospital Bill - 3k for noncomplicated vaginal delivery (it has to be paid before discharge from the hospital to qualify for the discount package)

Dr fee - 1k for vaginal delivery (payment is due at initial doctors appointment)

Lab test - 158

Ultra scan - 120

Paediatrician - 300

Well Child Check - 95 (this was done at JPS hospital fort Worth)

LO birth cert. - 23 each (collected two copies)

American Passport - 165 (I got it by mail exactly 13days after applying)

I got my zero balance from the hospital by mail 3 weeks after discharge. I left US with LO on the 30th of March, got to Qatar and was hoping to get a transit visa to qualify for an hotel in Doha but sadly our Visa wasn't granted by the immigration, we had to stay at the airport for a 12hrs layover. Thank God it's finally over for now, I will hang my coat and hibernate till further notice. Thanks to everyone who has shared their experiences, bills and answered both my public and direct questions, God bless you all especially @chloe7 @temmyo ...@dyout Congratulations and thank you so so much for the assistance with LO letter of Consent and it was nice to meet your Madam a fellow Nairalander in diaspora.
Peace!

I have gotten a lot of emails from nairalanders in the last few days asking for a sample of my change of intent letter, i will assume its because you think i got some special treatment at POE as a result of writing something very poetic to the consulate and not because you're lazy about searching through the threads for a sample like i did. So here it is, please dont send any emails asking for it again.


This is just a sample,you should edit to suit your purpose .

Dear US embassy,

I write to inform you of my intention to use my B1/B2 visa to give birth in the us, the visa was originally gotten for business/vacation purpose and i travelled in Bleep for Bleep meeting and had a two week vacation afterwards and have not been to the US since. I have contacted a doctor and a hospital in the us and have been able to confirm that I have the financial ability to pay our bills. i will be arriving in April 2017.

I look forward to hearing from you.

End of sample.

Now they always send everybody the same generic response that basically tells you, you're not obligated to tell them and makes you feel like you wasted your time. I responded to their generic email by saying a warm thank you and they in turn said 'thank you for my feedback', which is the only non-generic email i have from them.

So my advice: as someone who tot the change of intent email was a waste of time, but sent it out of 'let me sha do copy copy n send', my poe experience has tot me that it is quite useful and a blessing.

Trust me you can get a date for Friday....i applied on a Wednesday and got a date for Monday the following week. Infact you can get a date for tomorrow all by yourself....just use the required link for booking dates and you are good to go

Hello fam,

Please i need the help of any mama/papa coming back to naija soon I want to purchase the attached drug from Amazon, but unfortunately they don't do overseas shipping for the particular product. I desperately need it and can't find it in any pharmacy here in Lagos. Please help a sister, pls I have my dollar card for payment, will only need to ship to your address in the US.

Just 4 bottles, they are very lightweight. I stay in Lagos but will pay for dispatch from anywhere you are shipping from in Nigeria. God bless!

temmyo:


Congrats boluwagin, and welcome home.

Please which pediatrician checked baby at the hospital, and how did you get your bill of 300?

Gloriagee:
Thanks. Please can I have ur email or can you follow me back so I can PM you? Thanks

sehawale:
Please does anyone know if the passport booklet scarcity most Nigeria consulates are facing is over? I want to apply for Passport at New York but I want to be sure I will get it early enough before paying the money on INNOVATE... Please if you have in-house information on whether they still delay or not at this consulate, let me know please. I will appreciate direct info from someone who knows someone that works there.

Their website (Nigeriahouse...), of course, won't tell you if they have booklet or not. Thanks. Travel back date is getting nearer and nearer for DW and our LO.

pointednose:
Good day all

Please has anyone used Qatar airlines before or recently? Heard their Poe is Doha? Please can someone share the Poe encounter. Also, was accommodation given during the layover. What did they ask for as fit to fly.

Thanks
