FADEO: My total medical bill was a little above $10,000 for last birth and approximately 12,000 for next birth. |

Starmate:The VO requested for: Bank statement, zero balances from the different service providers as well as itemized bills and receipts, Doctors’ appointment and prepayment, budget sheet, Dr’s correspondence,etc. This is all I can remember. Just go with all documents. It is better to be over prepared. I wish you great success in your forthcoming interview. |

JMarines: I’m really sorry it took a while. Good afternoon Sir VO: Good afternoon Madam Me: I passed on my passport and documents to him as he stretched out his hand to receive them. VO: Where are you going and why? Me: I’m going to Houston, Texas. I would love to use same hospital and doctor for the delivery of my baby when due and I have family living there too. VO: Oh, you are pregnant! You had your last baby in the US? Me: Yes VO: Do you have a copy of all your receipts from previous birth? How do you intend to pay your bills?what do you do? What does your husband do? Me:Yes I do and they are all attached. We set aside funds every year for specific projects and for this year, we will be spending our savings for My medical trip abroad. I told him what I do( self employed) and where my husband works. I also showed him a referral letter from his company which was written for this purpose. VO: What’s his position? Me: I told him. VO: He moves over to the statement and questions why certain amounts were reflected at certain times. Me: I explained telling him that the two huge sums reflected were: 1) Upfront usually paid to staff of certain companies and multinationals at the beginning of the year 2) Treasury bills we bought over a year ago that was remitted to our account. He held on to the statement as well as receipts and requested for a minute. VO: How much did you spend on medicals only during your last birth? Me: I told him I prepaid my entire Hospital, Dr’s & Anaes bills before my arrival into the US. But eventually has a Caesarean section when I paid for a Vaginal delivery. The difference was paid after discharge . I paid about $10-12k. He cuts in and says delivery in Texas is approximately 18k. I told him I paid what I was billed and that it can be found on the official website. VO: I am not disputing the fact that you aren’t owing but I need to see an itemized bill from the hospital that shows all the charges from previous birth. Me: Here is the zero balance letter, addressed to the consulate as well as receipts VO: These are confusing( I agree with him on that) Call the hospital and tell them specifically that the VO has made a request for a particular document, they will give it to you. He hands me a paper for administrative processing and asks if I would be needing my passport soon. He added I should send it across as soon as possible. This is my transcript and I pray for God’s grace to get this visa so I can finally hang my boots after this delivery. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Women, always antagonistic towards their own.All the times I was denied, I was interviewed by a woman.The visas I was given, where men.So sorry about what transpired, she was very furious, I don't see what you did wrong, except they where expecting you to notify the embassy you where travelling again for child birth, which had been same intention, so nothing like change of intent..I would advise you apply with your husband it may soften grounds...The embassy is really hot this period, but they will soon cool down by God's Grace. Wish you Good luck as u re-apply. Amaka6934: |

Please what is the full meaning of MCA in Dallas. Will like to check them up. Thanks Good day my people, I've been following this thread from the beginning and it has helped me alot. But abeg I need help I applied for my ist US Visa in 2015, I was about 6months pregnant and I fully declared my intention and was granted my Visa. I had my ist baby in Dallas and used MCA, in total I paid almost 11k. I also had a 2nd baby in 2017 in Houston used st luke chi and dr f. I paid about 7k5. I also collected all my receipts and zero balance and everything. I didn't overstay or use any insurance of any kind,paid all my Bill's. Fast forward to renewal of my Visa,did drop box and was invited for an interview. I was actually very shocked and speechless , it was so fast that before I could react it was over and I was denied. The vo was visibly upset infact she was RED. I was so scared thought I had committed a crime. Here's a transcript of what transpired. I wasn't pregnant at the time just wanted to renew it so applied for b1/b2 Visa. Interview was in Abuja Vo. Good morning Me .good morning Vo can I have your passport Me. Hands it over Vo how many times have you visited the us Me twice in 2015 and 2017 both purposes for child birth. (This was where everything scattered, she was typing then she looked up gradually started turning red) Vo you were issued a Visa to have one baby and you decided to have 2 babies how convenient Me was confused at this point was wondering if it was illegal) since it was for the same purpose and I got pregnant again and could afford the bills Vo( she kept on repeating one Visa 2 babies, very convenient. Said this like 5 times and typing as well) Me I was told it's ok as long as you can afford it and I paid all my bills and I'm with my receipts Vo are you pregnant Me no Vo do you intend to have more babies in the us? Me for now no, I have a boy and girl and blah blah Vo (nodding her head in disgust like superstory ) so the only times you entered the us was to have babies Me yes, I paid all my Bill's and I have all my receipts Vo let me see Me. I hand them over ( started explaining, paid about 11k for the ist blah blah She cuts me Vo why where you given discount Me trying to explain self pay blah blah Vo you were given discount, I put it to you that you used insurance She was already so red with anger, me self do give up tire self cause it's obvious she was looking for fault Me I didn't you can see it clearly written no insurance was used self pay We argued back and forth when she saw she wasn't making sense she moved to the other bill. Immediately she saw it was from dr.f Vo aha you went to dr f right, Me yes At this point she started typing, the only bills she used to type whatever in her computer was dr f own,she then hands me the pink form and said a bunch of rubbish me I already packed all my things cause me I don vex too. My question is, 1.has anyone experienced this kinda thing with dr fs package, do they have anything against him? 2. Was I wrong to have used the Visa for the same purpose twice as that's what really ticked her off 3. I'm expecting now and intend to travel again, my husband wants to go for the interview to also renew his Visa but he didn't use the last one he was issued, it was a training but it was later done in Nigeria and being busy never really had the time to travel. Is it wise to apply with him or go alone . Please I need answers on how to proceed a new doctor since dr f, didn't seem to go down well with her. Thanks everyone. [/quote] |

For patients that are now asking to pay a higher fee to avoid any issues during Visa renewal, www.doctoresparati.com which uses Del Sol Hospital, are both having the option for patients to pay whichever amount they want with the price on the website being the maximum discount. In other words, patients' can pay whatever amount you want to pay in excess ($5450-$18,000) since there seems to be a trend as to who is able to renew their Visa. A letter is also provided that states that Medicaid nor any type of govt funds are used to subsidize any of the patients' medical fees for all bills. The discounted prices are still available and are not subsidized by Medicaid or govt funds. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Wumzybabe: 6:30am On Feb 21, 2019 |
Please help a sister. Its urgent. I am currently in the US to have my LO. My US visa will be expiring on the 8th of May, 2019 while my entry visa expires in August 2019. I was granted 6months from Feb, 2019. My EDD is in April, 2019. My question is should I reckon with my original US Visa or entry visa(6montnhs length of stay). I intend to leave the US by 17th May due to documents processing of my LO and enough time to bond with my LO before coming back to Nigeria. Will this hamper my visa renewal for Dropbox? Please help me understand this. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by OmoBendel24: 6:56am On Feb 21, 2019 |
Wumzybabe: The latter is it. You can exit by 17th May too, no qualms, you won’t have issues on that except you stay a minute more than the August date. If you will have any issue at renewal time, it will be on other grounds, not this. |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by dere5: 11:30am On Feb 21, 2019 |
Graciousbee:I think what happened during your interview was quite unfortunate. I also think the VO was just looking for a reason to deny you as it is their custom these days. They've been frowning at some low bills even though I'm sure they know deep down themselves that even though the bills are low, that they are genuine. You were not wrong in using the same medical visa for 2 births. In fact people have been known to use visiting visa for 2 birth,talkless of you that used medical visa. I'll advise you to apply again with your husband and present a new Dr correspondence that's in the neighborhood of 10k and above, and let's see what happens. All the best. 2 Likes |
