aamey15: Like others here have responded to your concerns about the US embassy requiring you and your spouse to appear in person for a follow-up interview...just make sure you take along all the itemized bills and receipts of payments you made after child birth as well as the hospital clearing you of any hidden charges you might not be aware of. |

Thank you..i think the issue is the fact that i got the visa for visit prupose and i found out i was pregnant i fell ill so couldnt travel... so we just lumped the holiday and birth together. quote author=Omodadi2 post=63373081] Inviting ppl for interview isnt a new thing anymore so dont be surprised. If you read some pages backwards, youll see various scenarios of ppl who declared, paid, and didnt overstay yet called for interview, i'm awaiting mine too. Got our visas for birth purpose and paid all bills. DH was granted at dropbox while i was asked to schedule interview. Just gather your documents and pray. wish us d best![/quote] 1 Like |

Quin17: Pls help me out. I have been traveling to the US. And at some point I was eligible for drop box. So I have been renewing my Visa by drop box. But I had my baby in the US last year on a running Visa. Since I did not inform US immigration when I was renewing my Visa that I was pregnant, I had to tell the immigration officers at entry point that I was going to give birth.And they allowed me to enter when they checked and saw that I had enough money to pay for the delivery. I paid all my bills and have my zero balance. But now I want to renew my visa for the first time after giving birth, I am pregnant again so I applied for medical visa by drop box and I was invited for a follow-up interview. I don't know what to expect at the follow up interview. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Omodadi2: 1:31pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
Quin17: I agree with you. My location was my problem then so I decided to explore the dropbox since i beleive I have not err in anyway. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Omodadi2: 1:34pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
Bubbles123: Just scroll up a little and see some posts conerning recent trend in visa renewal espcially for childbirth. Yours would be that you didnt inform VO at interview point. However, some ppl got theirs renewed afterwards. Go with your itemized invoice and zero balance statements. It will end in praise! |

Hello everybody. First timer here. My wife was able to convince me that we should have our baby in the US. My eyes have been glued to this thread since a week ago just to have a feel a what had been discussed so I do not have questions that may have been answered. I caught up pretty much quickly. We are both joyous about this adventure. I'm working on a budget and from what I have estimated so far, it's gonna cost about $9,000 for normal delivery and about an average of $11,000 for CS. This estimate is for Dr. Ezekiel affiliated with Oak bend (this is the cheapest), and it includes baby documentation fee and accommodation fee. This does not include the flight cost which is still going to be around $2,500 (single) or $4,000 (If I'd be going with her). In total, we will spend over $15,000. Obviously, it will cost us a lot. Permit me, ladies and gentlemen to ask this question: is this adventure really worth it? What do we stand to gain? I'm about to commit to this and it's going to hurt(hurt in the sense that my entire savings will be depleted and I'm gonna have to start all over again. I look forward to your response. Thanks 1 Like |

mamaron: abujaniv, LagosNIV, Twoods, Omobendel Going by this transcript, the "letter of intent" seems to be valid , please say something on this, thank you |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Nobody: 4:43pm On Dec 18, 2017 |
Mbamto: Hi Mbamto...since I started all this wahala with my post...i feel obliged to respond...from what i have come to understand abujaniv confirms exactly what I was told by the VOs.... reapplying is not a REQUIREMENT...however it is what abujaniv would recommend.....its a recommendation based on points he has listed below.....its up to mamas and papas to make a choice on what route to follow. Also see page zero of this current thread 5. Justwise quotes abujaniv. I'm not sure 100% of the population will agree on one approach..each person has to appraise their specific circumstance and decide what they sincerely think is the right thing for them to do. Despite what I was told by the VOs at my interview ..if I had to do it again...i would still reapply...that's just me....others might disagree. abujaniv: 5 Likes |

Mbamto: I will say that the vo treat each person individually and this letter of intent is useful at poe but doesnt make you dropbox worthy as that is purely for the Vo's to decide... If at the point of interview you knowingly or unknowingly say you are not pregnant while you are, change of intent might see you through the poe but it doesnt mean the vo may not deny you visa the next time you apply bc it will be seen as deceit.... If you do not use your visa for the purpose it was granted you, or was preggy during interview and succeed to pass through poe, dont act surprised when they call you for interview, it's obvious you have some explaining to do.... even with your change of intent letter.... Letter of intent is more suitable when you have used your visa for the purpose for which it was granted and then wish to travel for delivery. After all is said, it still lies on the Vo to decide....bc these days they call people for interview either bc you need to explain something or bc they want to be sure you paid all your bills....

Cretaceous: Is it really worth it? If you ask 5 people why they have their babies in the U.S. you may get as many as 5 different answers. For me I would like to get a certain level of medical care...which is also available in the U.K. for example....but if the U.S. gives the extra benefit of citizenship..... then why not? For others it's baby being able to go to university without a student visa in the future....and maybe paying less than an international student...and being able to get student loans For another the possibility of filing for citizenship/residency for parents when baby becomes an adult. For yet another....visa free travel to over 100 countries ..which may be an advantage when baby is employed in a company that requires travel or just for leisure. For some...they had their 1st baby in the U.S. so why not do the same for subsequent children. Maybe it's a vacation for some...a change of environment and holiday/maternity leave. Some have argued that it's better to invest that money for that child's education than travel for birth....their view. Wisdom fall on you as you decide. 17 Likes |
