olathunde: Don't know how feasible this is,it's usually advisable to print it out a day or two before the interview . I think 2wks before interview is overdoing it. |

Please when traveling with foodstuffs how do you package them? Like Egusi and ogbono after grinding it do you have to dry it too before you package? |

urblackpearl:Ok.. so different strokes for different people. First things first... please make a list. It is very important so you do not forget anything. 1. Documents Very important... fit to fly, medical test results, employment letter (if applicable), correspondence with US doctors, receipts of payment where applicable, bank statements etc sometimes they ask and other times they don't. It's better to be safe than sorry 2. Food Personally, I only took ijebu garri and powdered milk (difficult to find in the US) I was not ready for any unnecessary delays... 3. Baby stuff My missionary journey was end of last year when dollar was hard to come by (no pta from bank or traveled... at a point sef even bdc malams didn't have dollars)... so I reckoned it was wiser to spend in naira as much as possible. I bought basic baby things in Nigeria o... baby soap, Vaseline, cream (I use shea butter), few newborn clothes and other basics 4. Mummy stuff Your personal effects.
I entered through LA... look through my previous posts for my POE experience.
I had $70 and a few pounds cash on me (yes! $70) but had enough money in my dollar and UK bank accounts 3 Likes |

Supernaturalone: Hi. Please confirm from her that there was no medical exigency that triggered the decision. Typically, it is never advisable for an otherwise healthy singleton pregnancy to undergo voluntary cs before 39 weeks. It's the obgyn board guideline and doesn't differ from state to state. It's a guideline and recommendation, not a law. But if you ask me, I'd advise you wait those extra days even till 40 if you Have no pregnancy induced ailment. Many a 38/37 weeker have found themselves in NICU for a few hours/days due to breathing issues. Not really worth it in my view. You've been "burdened" for 37 plus weeks, 2/3 extra for the sake of a healthy child is well worth it. Don't you think? 4 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Suzyt: 5:45am On Aug 21, 2017 |
Supernaturalone: It might not be a law but it's a practice that is generally followed. When they say a baby is developed by 36/37 weeks, it is not to give tired mothers or doctors the leeway to pluck a child that hasn't voluntarily tried making an exit. It is to assure mothers who go into labour during these weeks that all will be fine eventually as for most babies (not all) organs are fully developed by then. The internet is replete however with instances of babies (born early for the convenience of moms, doctors etc) who have found it difficult in the first few days and weeks. So unless it is actually urgent i.e. Affecting your health, it's best to wait till 40 weeks or at the very least 39. All the very best. May all go well for you. 5 Likes |

depends on what kind of device, you may need a step up/down transformer or if its a device with adaptor you can get an adaptor with 220v provided the device has a rating of 110v-220v for exaple my medela breast pump is 110v-220v, bought in US i used with the 110v adaptor that came with it but when i got to nigeria i bought a 220v adaptor in ikeja for 300naira chigrad: 1 Like |

Hi all, Please quick question: I had my baby and hustled every service provider for my zero balance bill. I was able to get them. However for the hospital, there are two columns. One showing what Patient pays and another called FLAT RATE PROCEDURE. the patient pay column is exactly as envisaged and as Pre informed by the hospital and shows I have nothing to pay any longer (zero). But right beside it there is a whopping 18000 there. I had queried this at the billing department of the hospital and was repeatedly informed that this is the way their bills and final receipts are generated and there is no issue. My question however is that will this be clear to a POE official or VO? For those who got zero balances from the hospital, what form did it take? How do I get this sorted. Thanks. 1 Like |

the VO must have thought the cost of a return ticket is way lower than you getting a one-way seat for one of the babies...he should have just mentioned he was going on vacation...abeg sometimes lieing is the best thing...and again he does nothave ties to naija anymore...wife and pikin dey yankeee...wetin come remain for here? my 2kobo Austine2020: |

from your thesis, it is obvious you don't have ties with Nigeria(main reason you have been denied twice). leave ur hubby's info out of the matter. don't even take his visa there. apply alone. Oluwakeminoah: |

Please i need advise. I am preggy for the first time and intend to deliver in usa. I have travelled to usa about 2 yrs ago. And had renewed my visa early this yr before i realised i was pregnant. The question is do I have to change my visa type from b1/b2 before i travel, and what are the chances of me getting the new visa. Soneone has advised me to travel early and that it wuldnt matter if i travel befire it becomes obvious, like at yhe end of my 2nd trimester. I need advise please. |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by cutelass: 10:36pm On Aug 21, 2017 |
doreese: used them last yr and will be using them again soonest. you don't contact the hospital, till you are on ground to sign the self pay contract. You rather contact the dr, he gives you all info you need before you actually visit the hospital. scroll up on this page, you'll see 'fyorgyn'...click on her posts...you'll see detailed info of present cost both for dr and hospital. just Google that dr's name, call the phone number during work hrs (bear in mind California is 8 hrs behind us) and his asst will send you all info you need by mail. finally, looking through your posts, saw you got ur visa less than 2 months ago for elpaso...I'm just concerned for you so that someone doesn't give you stress at POE. Aldou LA is usually a breeze but I've read one story of secondary inspection on this thread. Wld have been a lot better if all you said at the embassy tallies with POE...it may not be an issue dou 1 Like 1 Share |
