Hello, Please I need information on giving birth in Atlanta. Help a sister please, dunno where to start from.

reniduke:
Im here to report emory ooo. Make una warn them, they can charge you for toothpick. That's how i hot fresh bills last week for the pathologist that examined baby placenta. Biko i had baby in may oo.
-also got one last week too 816 from children's healthcare atlanta for pedatrician. Total extra bill is approx 1000.

This is after paying a couple of bills for false labour before delivery and for ER visit when i was sick after delivery back in May. If Emory sends me one more bill after this new batch they're on their own.

Rant aside: now that im experienced, make una ask your hospitals if false labour is included in your package. As well as paedatricain bill estimate, to avoid all these stories that touch. If possoble ask them if any postpartum visit sef is included.

Hello. We don’t normally post in this thread, but it seemed worthwhile to drop in and correct some misconceptions. We say this a lot, but it bears repeating: Birth tourism is legal in the US provided the applicant is open about their intention and pays the medical expenses in full. This means that the applicant should declare any such intention they have at the Embassy/Consulate and again at the port of entry.

If it happens that the applicant gets pregnant well after the initial visa interview, they will have the opportunity to make their intention, medical preparations and financial resources known at the POE. However, it will remain up to Customs and Border Patrol whether to allow that applicant into the country. Some are not, and they are put on the next flight home. This must be extremely uncomfortable for a heavily pregnant person, to spend 15-20 hours on a flight to America, several more hours being questioned, then another 15-20 hours on a plane home. This is what we want to avoid.

Onto some other misconceptions:
The concept of the “change of intent” letter is not valid. These e-mails are not read nor correlated with the applicant’s file. Some people who send such letters may get a form letter in response, but it is informational in nature and in no way confers permission to amend the declared purpose of travel. What matters is what you declare at the Embassy/Consulate and at the POE. After the fact e-mails do not carry any weight.

Some applicants say, “I applied for only the B2 visa to declare my medical intent.” The B1/B2 visa categories are conjoined, so applying for only one does not make any difference. Other applicants say, “I appeared at the window with a big belly,” as if this alone is enough to declare their medical intent. Again, the responsibility is on the applicant to be honest about what they plan to do in the US.

Other considerations:
Medical care is expensive in the US, and costs can escalate dramatically if there are complications.
Credibility is paramount in the US visa process. If visa officers detect any deception or obfuscation, no amount of excuses, documents or receipts will make up for the loss of credibility.

Hello everyone in the house, please I am new here and wants to get information. I want to travel to US to have my baby but am confused where to stay, which hospital will be cheaper for me and if I can get any help like nanny over there because I will deliver through c.s. Please anybody with a good and authentic information shld help me out. I will be due by Nov.

I think there are enough information from old pages regarding cheap hospitals. You should consider from oakbend in houston, doctores parati el paso, st francis or centinela in califonia, or Missouri. You can search from by typing in the search button any o these names while you hope for answers from the veterans and experts.

Houston is in Texas about 4 hours flight from Long Island NY.
So if you plan to go to Texas you would need to factor in accomodation but remember even with Aaccomodation Texas will be cheaper for yoy because someone said Long Island is about 19k for VD.

Yes you have family in long Island NY but it would be good if you are open to new option and you would be surprised how much you will end up saving.
Up to you though

Also note that Houston is in the state of Texas.

Any Jan 2018 mummies going to houston.....

Easy way out just type "birth in Atlanta" or "Northside hospital" in the search box above and you would see invaluable info.

Since you have hospital already... just go to through website and search doctors then call them.

Another option is to wait till you get to Atlanta and go as soon as possible to the hospital and get a doctor.

With all these start reading tbis tread and get set for your POE.

Hello NLers,
Please is there a payment plan for intending parents in the US...I just got a set back on funds invested and DW should be due in November. we should be able to pay down before end of January. if there is? how do I go by it or access it?

This thread isn't what it used to be . I'm not yet a mom to be or even married, but I read this thread voraciously for research for when I'm ready. Lately, not as many folks are sharing info openly (pls inbox me or pm me is the new order of the day) and people with questions don't bother to read but spam the whole thread, asking about issues that have been answered endlessly. Please for the sake of everyone let's try to be more open and keep this thread rich and informative. It shouldn't dwindle off into obscurity. Thanks. My own two cents.

Hello mams & pas! Please is there anyone traveling to Chicago in November?

Hello everyone. Please do you have any advise on how to get a closer date for Interview. I have being refreshing the page and the earliest is October 16th which is too late for me. Thank you all for your time and advise. God bless .
