Hello people Hope you are all doing good So i went for my vusa interview today and was denied The visa officer only asked where i work and what i do and which country i have been ro before and i said UK Next thing she said i am not eligible...she did not bother to ask for any documents. I had my doctors appointment, i had even paid most of the doctor's fee What could have informed this? Looking through my form am wondering if it has to do with contact info in the US when filling the form i put the name of the Doctor under organisation name and put contact as "i dont know" because the form never allowed me at the point of filling to put both name of contact and Org. name and contact at the same time. Dunno why... Also when it asked if i had done print for all 10 fingers i said NO because i frankly could not remember if i did the last time i was granted visa. Or could it be that the officer didnt hear when i said vacation and Childbirth? Meanwhile my baby bump is obviously showing I am really confused...anyway...its all good 1 Like |

Goodmorning everyone! Its been a while I posted here but i have been silently catching up. I just wanted to ask if anyone has used Miami as POE before. I arrived in Atlanta yesterday.. Miami was my POE, however i was surprised there was no CBP interview issh. We had to use a self service machine for scanning passport and fingerprinting, which printed out a receipt that i handed over to the officer . No stamping of passport whatsoever, and we were asked to go. I travelled with my daughter (had her in US 2015). Im still abit confused. Just wanted to see if anyone has had similar experience.. as I haven’t been to US Since 2015. Thanks guys. |

roberta26: Na vip airport you pass,no need to waste ink or time stamping passport when all his electronic this days but you can track your travel entry to usa and ur duration of stay on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (i94) even if your passport was not stamped so far you have i94 on record it all ok "Foreign visitors to the U.S. arriving via air or sea no longer need to complete paper Customs and Border Protection Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record or Form I-94W Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver Arrival/Departure Record. Those who need to prove their legal-visitor status—to employers, schools/universities or government agencies—can access their CBP arrival/departure record information online". International travelers visiting the United States can apply for or retrieve their I-94 admission number/record (which is proof of legal visitor status) as well as retrieve a limited travel history of their U.S. arrivals and departures go to their website and you can click on recent i94 ,input your passport number first and last name with your date of birth and you go see ur entry details,visa class and date you allowed to stay till or you go to history and you go see all date you entry and depart usa since last 10 years https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home 2 Likes |

My POE experience yesterday.. in my visa application, I stated I’d be going to Virginia for my delivery I got the visa. But I changed my hospital, doc and state due to some reasons. Everyone was worried it may be an issue at POE. So I arrived Atlanta yesterday. There was a long ass queue. I signaled to one of the airport officials (a lady) that I couldn’t stay on the queue Cos I’m heavy. She spoke to one of the guys and they directed me to go do my scan. CBP official : how are you doing ma’am Me : very fine Him : are you here on vacation Me : no I’m here to have my baby Him : how long would you be staying Me : 3-4 months Him : did you come alone Me : yes Him : who would you be staying with Me : my aunt Him : a green card holder or US citizen Me : a green card holder Him : can I have the address Me : gave it to him Him : have u had a baby here before Me : no it’s my first time Him : how much do u hv on u Me : 10k Him : is it 10k on the dot or more Cos if it’s more u’d hv to declare it Me : I said no 10k on the dot. Him : do you have foodstuff if yes what are they Me : noodles, fish, beverages etc etc Him : says ok and stamps me in for 6 months... and says I should use a wheelchair next time so I don’t hurt myself . All these took like 5mins .. he was so nice.. I started to wonder if this is d Poe everyone was talking about. Lol I proceeded to my flight to Houston. 9 Likes |

I am actually having difficulties with accommodation in Atlanta. The ones I'm seeing on airbnb are over 2k per month. Please who has any recommendation on accommodation in ATL? abi I should switch to Maryland? I actually have accommodation in Maryland, but my hospital Bill's the last time cost way over 20k, infact almost 30k and I don't want a repeat experience. |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by temistraws: 3:28pm On Dec 01, 2019 |
Hello, I birthed there in 2015. I paid about 5.5k (hospital bill alone - 4k for myself and 1.5k for my daughter). Doctors fee, anesthesia, paed, blood works about 7k The bill in question wasn’t even mine but my baby’s (the room charges for extra night, apparently..the person who printed the receipt included the original charges and discounted charges and I was asked to pay the balance, which I did.) If I had known it was going to cause issues, I wouldn’t have taken it along, I just packed all my receipts and the V.O noticed that and she noted it against my profile. They’ve been asking me to pay the discount meanwhile the hospital is insisting I am not owing them. I have been in a fix since then �� Laurieuc: |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Bcpump: 10:34am On Dec 02, 2019 |
cretin: I had a valid Visa then I updated my records with the embassy for birthing purposes. they did not ask for new hospital correspondence. just asked me to ensure I return with all receipts and show them at the next interview. I had already gotten emory correspondence to send to them before they updated it though. 2 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Bcpump: 10:37am On Dec 02, 2019 |
ladyprosper: the bill you got, was it for hospital alone?? it looks fair/ok for hospital only. if it is hospital + doc, then even I would run away as the discount on the final bill would be huge. I would be scared of a low bill. confirm that there is none or no much discount from the hospital. you do not want to have problems during your next renewal. Even for the 13500, I know when I add scans and some things that may come up the total should come up to about 16k at the end of the day |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by cretin: 11:32am On Dec 02, 2019 |
ladyprosper: Am fairly certain docs fee is not there, their current avg price is $10k plus for vaginal and 13k plus for csection, for singleton birth, or you got your quote prior sept 2019, as the statement below was attached to their current quote. These prices are valid September 2019 – August 2020. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by ladyprosper: 12:23pm On Dec 02, 2019 |
i really don’t know what am not doing right...The doctor’s fee for the third trimester is 2100. Can someone please put me through? cretin:
|
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by cretin: 1:32pm On Dec 02, 2019 |
ladyprosper: ahaa... i see the problem, you probablly contacted a private doc who uses emory, doc T perhaps??, he has given you a bill of 2100, while what you attached is just the hospital/facility charges. should you wish to use emory - the complete package doc inclusive has an additional amout, $6k or so....and this covers docs fees, tests, appointments etc, so by sourcing for your own doc, you wud be saving over $3k. how the VO will see this during interview/renewal...is subject to diff interpretations. Below is the terms normally used in the usa, and the naija equivalent Prenatal Care & Delivery ----- docs fee & all associated fees, excluding paediatricians fee Facility ---------- hospital fees |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Bcpump: 4:03pm On Dec 02, 2019 |
So I just called emory and they told me there are still costs not included in that 13,600k bill, such as paed, drugs dispensed during delivery etc. please who has like an idea of the total amount it would cost with these things inclusive just so that I am better prepared. Thanks. |
