Vanekj:
Hello Everyone,

i'm a first timer on Nairaland. I must say a whole lot of support in here. Well done guys.

We want to have our first baby in the US. Have gone through the thread and know that i'm to:

Apply for a B1/B2 so reason can be Tourism and also to give birth.

However I need your advice on the following.

1. Affordable Hospitals in Maryland (that's where i can be accommodated). Have heard Maryland is expensive but i'm sure someone here would have eventually gotten a good deal. Please help with any link or direct contact to the hospital/doctor. i have googled and filled in contact forms but no revert. i have called but they keep directing me to their insurance company so please i'm crying for help.

2. Is or Was there anyone who planned to stay in Maryland however give birth in another state that's more affordable and not too far from Maryland. When did you leave Maryland for the place and when were you fit to travel back to Maryland after delivery. Also hospital details (especially cost) and contact to Doctor

3. Any other information would be helpful.

Thanks!

sugah:

What exactly do you need help with?
Raising the $300 dollars or refuting the agent's claim?
Your post isn't clear enough.

But search for and read "visa on arrival" on this thread and your solution might lie there.

Jazzie76:



i was told that the visa opn arrival is no more, that to get a visa for my baby i will need to pay visa fee of $180 +$197 processinf fee = $377 and for 3days to get extra $85

Harisbabe:


No email, u have to call. Cant remember d exact quote i got but should be around $4000 for vaginal delivery.

Good day house, trust we had a good day.
I am currently feeling my wife's medical Visa form but I can't find the section that asked " if you have travelled out of the US before or in the last 5yrs " is it that is not included..
I'm asking cos I know one can find it in the Tourist (visiting) visa form.

Pls advice everyone

Babatwi:


The questions differ for different visa categories. So, if i were you,i won't bother with it,just answer what you are asked

Dwebb55:


I shared it earlier but I think Just wise took it down. I used Dr. J-G Tchabo. He isn't cheap but is very experienced and you'll really enjoy his services. PM me for more info

Babatwi:


Visa on arrival is very much available and it's $190 i think?

kayvine4u:
Maryland hospitals are pretty expensive. Your best bet would be to get a hospital in Virginia, You can google hospitals in virginia and narrow down choices based on the distance to the part of Maryland where u will be.

DrPrincess:

I sent Dr a mail, n he gave details of hospitals he is affiliated with. I can't put his contact details here cos d post wld be deleted.
I'l suggest u Google. The name of his practice is 'Center for Women's Health'

goobyparks:


Good evening @Dwebb55 . I'm new here, don't even know where and hw to pm here. I have a relative in Norfolk so I'm searching for hospitals around Norfolk, Hampton, Newport New, Chesapeake & co . All the OBGYN I contacted were asking that I send medical record via fax before I can even correspond with Dr. Some even asked I send it before they give price and then Dr will know whether to accept me or nt. I will be due in Nov. but hope to travel 5 or 6wks before EDD ie @ 33 or 34wks.
- Do you know any obgyn Dr. and hospitals around this axis that are affordable and easily accepts foreign patients?

Vanekj:
Thanks @Dwebb55 and Modath. After intensive research both on Nairaland and online i've told DH that i'm porting. The cost from MD no be hear o!. Considering Houston and Virginia as you mentioned

Please fellow Nairalanders, haven't seen much post here on Virginia hospitals. Any one with a contact or relevant information about Virginia please help a sister.

Also considering using either Oakbend hospital or Elpaso. Since i have family in Maryland plan is to travel at 32 weeks to Maryland and then move to Texas closer to due date (at least to save some accommodation cost in Texas) then return to Maryland after birth before coming back to Naija. I plan to say all this during my Interview. I've read so much about honesty and all during interviews on this platform. Please advise me if i'm on the right track.

Please anyone with Direct contact with EL-paso or Oakbend please email me @ Vanekj03@yahoo.com. Or let me know so i can send PM you. i hope i got that right. I'm still a bit new to how Nairaland works though...Lol

Thanks Guys!

Dwebb55:

hello Dwebb55 i wanted to send you a PM but i think you need to also follow me back for that to happen. I'll also need contacts and information on Inova fairfax. I'm trying to get all options in so i can compare and weigh options since family is in maryland. Thanks

My DW and I used Inova Fairfax which is about 3.5 hours from Norfolk so I don't think I'll be of help. You can start by searching for hospital's in your area of intended stay and then calling them up or searching their websites
