Indeed, this is a wrong forum for this. Just so you know, she qualify for medicaid because no one is working yet. In addition, public charge rules have nothing to do with legal residence. Again, I am not trying to cheat the system. We all like to judge someone here not knowing the predicament of the person. Thank you all for the response 4 Likes |

Good morning everyone. Please does anyone have any info on how to pay discounts from hospital in Texas? I had my last baby in WHMC, Houston and was given some discounts as a self pay patient but the embassy is insisting that it’s too much and was denied in July.. Tried applying again after so much back and forth with the hospital and they kept insisting they can’t collect any more money from me as I am not owing them. I just left the embassy and was still denied visa cuz of this same discount issue but the V.O asked me to search google and look for means of payment to the state as he has seen some people with similar case make such payment. Please any one with useful info should please reply ASAP. Thank you. |

Bluefin: Thanks for schooling him. Always acting goody two shoes and upright but we know his kind. He disappears for a long time whenever his credibility is called into question and has to defend himself and only reappears when he thinks the dust has settled and the coast is clear. Na him modus operandi be that. In as much as I detest taking advantage of the Medicaid system, the OP’s case is entirely different. I don’t mind him making use of Medicaid at all, cos eventually when him and his spouse starts working they will pay into it. 9 Likes |

Good day good people. I got to start following this thread this year under the B2 visa renewal issues. Particularly 2017 I was at Oakbend medical center, Texas to give birth to our first child. Visa expired and hubby renewed his successfully. However on my profile page I could see an appointment but won't able to pick the appointment.it keeps giving an error notification (pls see my attachment). I sent several emails and made calls to the call center but was told they had escalated it. First it was showing 221g from there own end.I hadn't made a prior application or done any drop box. So was surprised to see the 221g on my profile. Though I applied for F1 last year 2018 when had the window to do so but was denied. I git back to my work. I took in and I was distressed that after five months of complaining able the inability to pick appointment it was not resolved. I took up courage to call an agent few weeks, ago I had never used agents before . The agent told me he knows of a CGI guys who can help me with the error messages and would help me book an appointment.low and behold as soon as u sent the guy 50k as charged he booked the appointment which was today. My interview today wasn't successful as it looked like the vo wasn't ready to give visa. I presented all the required documents and itemized bills yet was found not eligible to for va isa. I had a mind to reapply soonest as my due date is drawing nearer, however, wI as surprised to find the same initial problem I encountered not able to pick an appointment even when it showed clearly on my profile. I am not ready to continue paying the 50k each time as I strongly feel its not right for me to continuously exploit this way. Can't this be resolved legally without having to wait for forever or pay us partner agent such huge money to rectify it from there system. I need help right now (don't pass judgment pls) as I'm not US migrant but a Nigerian who is only sacrificing for my children, giving them the privilege I never had.

Good evening, I would like to know if anyone has given birth in Cleveland Ohio before. Also in terms of POE which do u think is more friendly. I have the option of coming through Chicago or Atlanta and New York as there are no direct flights to Cleveland Ohio. I would also appreciate some advise from those who gave birth after Oct 29 2019 on the new process of getting your baby’s passport and all. I’m asking cause of the publication in the news sometime ago about the 6 weeks stay to get citizenship for a child. I appreciate your kind response. 1 Like |

Good morning all. Please who has successfully changed the address on their child's birth certificate. I had my baby a year ago in Houston and pleaded with the hospital to use my Nigerian residential address. The lady insisted that they can't put a foreign address on a birth certificate. Today, I went back to the US birth certificate office and explained my request. They said such changes are only done online and processed in Austin. I spoke with 3 different staff and they all said the same thing. Please who has successfully changed theirs? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Beautyaddy: 3:27pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
happyme31: Why are you bothering yourself to have the address on your child's birth certificate change to a Nigerian address. Didn't you have this child in the US? Didn't you stay temporary in a US State before you had your child? Still not getting the problem here |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by happyme31: 6:05pm On Nov 19, 2019 |
Beautyaddy: Thanks beauty. I have read here severally that VOs want to see Nigerian residential address on the bc to show that we aren't claiming to be Americans thereby misleading the hospital to give us huge discounts. |

Making donations The truth is if you donate even 50k dollars. If they will not give someone, they will not. Their system has been gamed for a long time. They are hurting and they are lashing out. We have a target on our back - Nigeria. My advise, keep your money. I don’t know about others, but making money in Nigeria is not easy. I can’t come and spend it on something that is not sure. That will be double jeopardy. Because if after lying back or donating, they deny you, it can lead to deppression oooo. if you must travel, get elsewhere. Do your research- there are many opportunities out there. My 5 naira. Bluefin: 7 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by FabioPeter: 5:35pm On Nov 20, 2019 |
mldtemi: Thanks a lot, it helped. I got a cost estimate of 9,500 for VD and 15,000 for CS(non negotiable and no discount) Cost covers doctor, epidural, Pediatrician and 2 days hospital stay. They insist I make an appointment over the phone to get a confirmation letter. I made the call and got a physician assigned, forwarded my details but I am yet to get a confirmation letter, guess it may take a few days. Will 9,500 be ok with VO? Doing all these on behalf of DW, right now I am really feeling the phrase “we are pregnant” Thanks a lot. 2 Likes |

Well, that is the quote I got too. I went to missionary journey with B1/B2 so I might not be able to tell you a yes or no. But just ensure that you have more than the 15k dollars of CS as proof of funds. All the VO wants to see is that you have enough money to take care of both yourself and the bill. Because giving birth in the US is expensive. 10k dollars is 3.6million naira already. That can build a house or start a business. It is true that cost can easily escalate when it comes to child birth. I am a witness to that. Although I used Wyckoff initially but I ended up at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ), Katz women. They are more expensive than Wyckoff. I paid 21k dollars for CS. FabioPeter: 1 Like |
