I feel the dS 160 pulls out information based on who sponsors. They want to know more if you are sponsoring. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Nobody: 11:45am On Feb 20, 2018 |
chinybelle:The form for males is different from the one for females regardless of sponsor or not. Even if they applied separate it would still be so |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Micafe: 6:42pm On Feb 20, 2018 |
please o, is the state or city in the address you are visiting automatically your port of entry? or one can select another state as entry point? because I didnt see anything like port of entry on the ds160 form. pardon my curiosity |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by ozymes: 7:48pm On Feb 20, 2018 |
Questions on whether you have visited the US before would be asked on the form. That is what i meant by US travel history Micafe: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Nobody: 8:07pm On Feb 20, 2018 |
Micafe:No you wouldn’t be asked point of entry , you’ll only be asked where you’re visiting( state, city, zip code etc). Your point of entry is the state the flight you’re boarding to the USA touches down first, e.g you’re headed to ATL you fly BA and it touches down in JFK before proceeding to ATL, your point of entry is jfk 1 Like |

After my rant on nairaland about the responses I got from Nigeria immigrations on my baby's VOA request, someone reached out to me and gave me a contact to call. I was skeptical at first because those I reached out to were asking to be bribed. I was furious cos i didn't see the need to bribe anyone for a $190 visa that I will still be paying for. I lost hope completely in Nigeria But fortunately someone who I've never met in that same immigrations assisted and got out the approval for me in 24hours without asking for a dime. There are still good people in government parastatals just that the bad have overshadowed them. I honestly think the email request is a means of scamming people, approvals won't come till you're forced to bribe to get it out. Thank God for good souls out there 5 Likes 2 Shares |

No dear I doubt they intend to scam you by you sending a request maybe you got into the wrong hands, because a large number of us here have used that route with no problems atall provided you send it to the correct email address. I honestly think the email request is a means of scamming people, approvals won't come till you're forced to bribe to get it out. Thank God for good souls out there [/quote] 2 Likes |

justwise: Hello good people, pls I need your help. Firstly, how long does it take to get booked for an interview after filling the form? secondly, I intend to have my baby in Virginia but I have tried 3 hospitals and they all replied that they don't book appointments, that I should just come when I'm ready to have the baby. But I need hospital and doctors appointment(burden of proof) for the interview. Can anyone pls recommend a hospital an doctor where I could book ahead? thank you. |

Hi People, Finally Got into Chicago few days back... Yup used thier POE 1st thing... Didn't have a new doctors report since when I flew into U.K. Early February, so just wore a Big coat and prayed that nobody at the BA desk will ask me for Fit to Fly and fortunately they didn't. Flew Heathrow to Chicago.. Got in by evening...very short line: CBP: Hi. Passport pls. What are you hear for? Me: Maternity Leave. I'm having my baby. CBP: Oh. Do you have other kids? (As if e no dey see am for system ) Me: Yes. CBP: How Much did you come with today? Me: $5,500 and I have my cards CBP: Which hospital are you considering using? Me: Currently, John H.S. CBP: Well it's not a crime to give birth in the US. But we will need to confirm the cash. Come with me... na so she carry me go secondary inspection... Oh boy it was like a parry ova dia The place was full with all shapes, Colours, sexes, nations, religions and sizes... One black boy sitting next to me was shaking like who was waiting for his flight home ... I sha sat down, commited every into God's hands and faces CNN. After about 40 mins they called me. CBP: Do you know the rules about giving birth in the US? Me: (Ha I tot we came to confirm cash ) I said yes.. Pay all your bills, no tax payers money. The guy said and? Me: That's all I know. CBP: You don't know all the rules, let me go and get them... na so e waka go print am show. CBP: Do you have insurance covering giving birth in America? Me: No I do not. CBP: You are supposed to have! What if something happens to you or the baby that requires $100k to fix?? Are you telling me you will pay? Me: My understanding is that no matter how much your bill is be ready to pay. Worst case set up a payment plan but pay cash. CBP: Shakes head. Lol CBP: Do you know what medicare is? Me: I have an idea. His Neighbour CBP: Said nope, you know, because you researched it and plan to use it. Me: I just started smiling really wide and said HOw? Neighbour CBP: Waka commot (His work there was done) CBP: Looks at list- Do you have a referral for medical treatment here from a doctor in Nigeria? Me: No. CBP: Your supposed to have. Me: I don't have and then I keep quiet. CBP: I see you've had 2 other kids in the US, so you just normally come to have your babies and go? Why the US? Me: As I stated before (coz they had asked me this question when I came earlier in OCT) I have a condition called preeclampsia with all my kids, after loosing my 2 1st pregnancies my husband and I decided to go for better medical care... (wanted to add that US also gives dual citizenship but the guy had moved on) CBP: So how much do you have with you today ME: $5,500 CBP: That won't be enough for childbirth in the Us. Have you paid any medical bills prior to now? Me: No, however I was told when I visited the hospital that my bill would start from 5k up as a base figure. I and my husband work so sending me additional funds won't be an issue. CBP: Which hospital told you 5k is the base fee: ME: J.H.S CBP: That's a terrible hospital! Why would you come all the way to use me J.H.S? Me: Really? It's terrible? That's not what I heard? Anyway when I came in October it was the one that was most easily accessible. CBP: Said no it wasn't, you must have researched it. ME: I kept quiet coz what he said was true about the research. CBP: You are supposed to have all the cash for your medical treatment now... you are not ready. How do we know you can afford it. ME: I've paid in full for accommodation, as I said this is just starter park funds, I've had 2 kids here and have always paid my bills. CBP: Show me proof that you pay your bills. Me- Brings out reciept for 1st 2 payments... Kai my hand is paining me.. Let me rest small and come back for part 2. Someone send me Ayamase and very white rice in the mean time.. ayam hungry. Kilzes. P.S- Forgive any typos. 15 Likes 1 Share |
