chikos: Epidural is bae and will always be bae. You may also go for natural birth if your pain level is high. I have only tried epidural and I don’t have any pros nor cons for it. Also, natural birth is natural nothing special too |

Lordcrixus: Hi Lordcrixus, please I am trying to PM you. I am not sure how it works. I wanted to find out how your wife was able to change interview locations. I am currently on the 221g stage but I am really pressed for time. As it is the date ‘pop up’ is still showing blank. Looking forward to your response. Thank you. |

Hi everyone. Please I need your urgent thoughts on this. I traveled to the US while I was 4-5 months pregnant and landed at the hospital on emergency due to complications - I have the doctor's report to prove that i was not fit to fly back to Nigeria. The intention was to visit my dad who lost his wife earlier that year (That was my second visit on that visa). I was enrolled for a private insurance (USA) in October 2017, and got approved in November 2018. The premiums for the 3 months were paid in full. Unfortunately, baby came at 29 weeks, earlier than usual due to complications. Insurance handled the major part of the bill and the balance of my bill was taken care of by the hospital through Charity care (Not government funded according to the hospital). Now, I applied to renew my visa via dropbox and I have been asked to appear for an interview. Should I be worried? I have non-indebtedness letter and zero balance statement, also the insurance premium receipts are available. What other documents can I take along with me? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Beautyaddy: 2:37pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
olamie: Are you saying that it took almost a year before your private insurance was approved? Hmmm...that's strange. Anyway, take all the proof of your insurance statement of accounts sent to you to prove to the VO that you paid all your bills for birthing. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Babyvet: 2:38pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
olamie: You should be very concerned , you violated the terms of your visa , and then you used public funds to pay for part of your bill. They’re going to ask more about the charity care. So your saying the charity care is privately funded ? 4 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by olamie: 3:05pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: So sorry, I'm meant to write November 2017. Just a month to approve the insurance |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by olamie: 3:13pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Babyvet: I confirmed from the hospital before accepting and they said it is funded by the hospital itself (It is a private hospital). The major part of the bill was incurred before insurance kicked off. The part taken care of by the hospital (in the zero balance statement) is labelled as "uninsured courtesy discount" - Has anyone heard of that? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Beautyaddy: 3:27pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
olamie: olamie: Okay, this discount by the hospital is contradicting. According to your statement you were approved of private insurance which you also state paid most of the incurred birthing bills. So why would the hospital still give you a discount rate to some of the bills if you had private insurance...hopefully you were paying this private insurance out of your pocket. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by olamie: 3:31pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: The discount is on the bills I incurred before the insurance was approved. I was admitted on 15th October through 30th October (Uninsured) - The hospital covered the cost incurred at that time. I paid the insurance premiums out of pocket. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Babyvet: 5:10pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
olamie: Most charities get tax cuts from the government. So it’s still a dicey situation, because you could not take care of the bill . |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Beautyaddy: 6:05pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Babyvet: Very true. That is why those hospitals that pay off outstanding medical bills in hospitals using charities are not doing it because they are generous but are doing it to get a significant number of tax cuts from the US government. |

Beautyaddy: Her chances of visa renewal are slim . They gave her visiting visa, she end up staying here longer and gave birth. In addition she ended up public funds. The VO’S are not going to take kindly to that , she better have plan b. I wonder what the the time line was from getting the visa, getting pregnant and actually arriving to the U.S. 2 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by olamie: 6:47pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Babyvet: Thanks alot for the response. I did not stay beyond 180 days |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Beautyaddy: 6:48pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Babyvet: Yes, this will be the main determining factor of her chances. Now hopefully she got pregnant after she was given the visa...her chances of getting her visa renewal might be more possible. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by olamie: 6:58pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: I got the visa before I got pregnant. I first travelled in January (then I was not pregnant). I spent just 2 weeks. The second visit was when I had the whole drama. I spent less than 6 months all together. 2 months before the baby and 3 months after. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Babyvet: 7:04pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
olamie: You are spending a long time in the US. The VO officers will think you risk for permanent stay . Here’s my advice , you can try to renew your visa but don’t be surprised if you are denied . So start planning other options that you can afford. |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Beautyaddy: 7:13pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Babyvet: Are you sure about this? She didn't stay in the US beyond the given 6 months given to her though. A little problem she might face with renewing the visa is with the "uninsured courtesy discount" she was given with bills she couldn't pay for. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Babyvet: 9:19pm On Mar 27, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: Read through the visa threads, some people visa were not renewed because of that reason. Staying months at time is a big risk. |

I used doctoresparati in 2015 and renewed my visa Dec 2018 with their letter. Well, am not sure I know someone who used them and got turned back sha.(there might be but I don't know yet) So I don't think they are red flagged ��♀️ Youngjenny: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by jericho2006: 6:44am On Mar 28, 2019 |
As for documents, make sure you have: *all correspondence with the hospital and doctors *all the billing they gave you, including the breakdown of services and charges *copies of the flight tickets you purchased and the boarding passes for the airplane *receipts from the hotel you stayed in and if you rented a car *a notarized letter from your pastor saying that are a lady of honor and strong faith Collect all these and organize them neatly in a binder. Then go to trash heap and throw them all away, because you are never going to get a visa ever again. olamie: |

Am here to update and warn about Henricos virginia. So finally got the financial counsellors no. She said the following 1) they dont have an itemized bill, becaus ei gave birth 2 yrs ago they cant trace my records beyond my initial deposit. 2) i saw computer print out of my payments where it was stated. Under discounts allowances(insurance discounts $4700) 3) i begged for a compregensive new bill that would just state it as discount ,they refused and said they cant change their billing form because of me. 4) now i have one bill with $10,000 discount and another stating insurance discount 5) i have spoken to dr fz have his details told him m a dr so we really got along back then He himself is helpless 6) a word is enough for the wise ,i even showed her the first email i sent the hospital where i asked if they give discounts and they replied me saying mo then they turn round to list insurance discount 7) mothers there now jenely pay the uninsured bill on $12000 to hospital them pay dr,pead and NAPA and thank me later or take d old bill that will put u in a mad fix. Right now i dont even know the way out or what to do henricos is not helpful or sympathetic they are not ready to help at all in any way. I just tire for their matter |

MamaOO: Good morning MamaOO. Please I need your thought on this. I didn't stay beyond 180days. Is it wrong to obtain an insurance as a non immigrant? The hospital gave me "uninsured courtesy discount" for the balance not covered by insurance. Now I have been asked to appear for an interview. I'm more than worried. Waiting for your response. Thanks |

Truth is if it were usa embassy before you can explain all these and then it depends on if the vo is sympathetic. But these days them dey craze well well,they have sent people for pregnancy test, they have denied people with a usa travel history of over 10 years who never had kids in usa. The issues you may have are 1) violating your visa rules but if u can explain these complication trust me it must be a life or death complication like you had a cardiac arrest a d got resurcitated or your membrane ruptured while at walmart and they called an ambulance not hypertension or diabetes . 2) the VO will then expect a bill of @1500 neonatal per day till discharge at 34/36 weeks thats 1500 x 7 days for 7 weeks. Your bill should be like 100-200k dollars. 3) the hospital wrote this off trust me the vo wont have expected you to sort it out but they will expect u paid at least half of that $30-50k or expect to see a payment plan u have been following 4) the worst thing on your profile is the insurance which i donno should have been in nigeria, also you can take a health insurance in the usa but for a foreigner it comes active after 1 year ,to them you cut corners and then what was your premium. 5) u ended up with an insurance suspected you wont be able to pay took an insurance and the hospital had to weite off your bill thats the summary It doesn’t look good ,i appreciate your honesty but you never know pray hard and hope but if i was ur sister i will say ,dont apply just wait till trump leaves office n try your luck. No one has come here to say it so i will help them inthe last one month they give most people life ban not visa denial life ban. Try canada or brazil and let usa rest for now. You may be lucky and get it but the odds are not in your favour. 1 Like |
