At the airport, fit to fly from port health was requested for despite having one from my doctor. Flew virgin atlantic at 35weeks 5days in november( better to fly them earlier because they almost did not fly me under the pretence that they dont fly pregnant women beyond 32weeks as opposed to what is on their website). Anyways, God showed up for me.
Fast forward to POE
POE was atlanta. The queue was extremely long, after standing for like 1hr 30mins i was directed to use the self service machine. Got my print out and joined another queue. Got to my turn eventually.
CBP: hello
Me: hi good day
Cbp: why are you here
Me: to have my baby and spend my maternity leave
Cbp: how long will you be spending here
Me:9weeks(note i said 12weeks at my interview but couldnt make it early as i planned due to work)
Cbp: where will you stay
Me: gave him the address of the intown suite
Cbp: lemme have the hospital correspondence(handed it over to him
Cbp: how much do you have on you
Me: 4kdollars , ive paid my hospital fees and i have about 6kdollars on my cards
Cbp: can i see the receipt of payment you made to the hospital
Looked at it for a minute and went to meet another officer who told him to go give another officer.
Cbp 2: hello
Me: hi good day
Cbp 2: why are you in the US
Me: for childbirth
Cbp: how much do you have with you(gave him same response as above)
Cbp: any food stuff
Me:yes
My documents were kept in a folder and given to a lady who told me my bags will be retrieved so as to be searched.
Got to agric and they asked same questions as above and checked the documents i submitted earlier while i waited for my bags to be brought..
Waited for like 20mins and didnt see my bags, had to go bring it from baggage claim myself.
The officer in agric just said i should go with my bags, it wasnt opened. Carried rice, beans, egusi, yam flour, knor cubes, dried fish, dry pepper, peak milk, milo all packed in ziploc bags and labelled.

Planned and paid for a vaginal delievery though i ended up with a csection.Had my 9pounds 6ounce baby 5weeks after at 41weeks via emergency Ceaserian section at northside hospital . Came in for induction which was almost successful until i got dilated to 9.5cm for over 2hrs. Baby didnt descend enough to be pushed out hence i was sectioned.

hospital bill $6875

Paid extra $685 for baby

Anesthesia: $3063

Paed $850

Doctor $1900

Infant ticket on VA $436( i almost fainted when i was told, guess its cos its peak period)

Filled the birth cert form 2days after delivery.
Birth cert was gotten 1week after( 3copies for $35

American passport $165(was gotten same day i got BC
Naija passport $235 (they had only 64pages, expedited it and got it after 1week)
SSN was gotten 12days after by mail.

Missionary journey ended successfully. We give God all the glory
A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this forum.
Sorry about the typos(time constraints)

Hello ma, I’m been searching for information on giving birth at northside hospital and came across yours. Would love to send you an email to get more usful information please

Hello, I need information about these states. I have an opportunity of moving to one of them. I've gathered some information from Google but first hand info from nurses who is living or have lived there would be appreciated.

For example, what's the hourly rate for RNs, staff and agency wise.
Cost of living
Best School zone
Nursing home vs hospital, which pays better?

TIA

KikiAde89:
Hi everyone , please I just got to atlanta , I’m in urgent need of a doctor because my EDD is close . I will appreciate recommendations. Thanks

Please, share you POE experience in ATL. Was your visa gotten for medical or visit? My wife is pregnant now and would be using a hospital in Houston. I’m unsure if she should fly to Houston POE or go through some other state. Our visa was gotten for vacation and no question of child birth came up. Also, she conceived few weeks after our interview. I don’t know if they’re strict about birth tourism now, especially if you didn’t inform them during your interview? Anyone here that has traveled for child birth and didn’t inform the consular during interview? Is Houston a good POE for a situation like this? I’m thinking JFK or LAX, then connecting to Houston. Though, I’ll prefer a straight journey to Houston because of stress and also luggage (domestic airlines charge separately for luggage).

Hey all,

I hope you're doing awesome! I'm looking for a good OBGYN in atlanta and thought, who better to ask than here?

I'm looking for someone who's not only good at their job but also super attentive. It's essential that they treat everyone respectfully, with no exceptions.

Please drop their names if you've had positive experiences with OBGYNs in atlanta. Also, if you've given birth between 2022 and 2024, I'd love to know which hospital and doctors you chose in atlanta. And, if you're comfortable sharing, a bit about the cost breakdown would be fantastic.

Thanks a ton for any insights you can share!

I used Northside hospital for the delivery of my Twins. Very good hospital.

Hi everyone. Please I need help with a doctor and hospital in atlanta.

I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

Firstly majority Nigerians in the US are not much exposed to living abroad, how things work in the United States, and many Nigerians, USA is their first travel experience/ destination.

What most Nigerians do when they travel to the United States is to get education and become either a Nurse, Doctor or Engineer, Work in the DC ( Distribution center or fulfillment centers) aka warehouse, housekeepers, some are Uber drivers and that’s all, which to me is not bad and maybe that’s what works for them and pays their bill.

You make money in healthcare especially RN if you’re ready to work overtime not only in Healthcare but in any other sector, you must work overtime to make more and remember the more money you make the change in your tax bracket, meaning you’ll be paying back to Uncle Sam ( IRS).

While Nigerians are working others are making it big doing business like the Russians, Indians, Chinese, Mexicans and Europeans but Africans are just working with no life.

US is designed in a way that you work and work then govt will take it back through health, that’s why Healthcare is expensive in US because you must surely end up in the hospital with either back injury, cancer or another sickness.

I live in Buckhead, atlanta GA and to be honest most Nigerians are scared to try out new things and scared of challenges while the Russians, Indians and Chinese are taking the risk to become millionaires.

Russians and E. Europe controls the trucking industry in Mid-West, Indians owns 90% of all the gas stations in the US, Chinese are into importation, real estate flipping and food, Mexicans are into construction, trucking, restaurants, White own 90% of Trucking business in the US and are the major players.

Now to my story, I came to the US with $12300 after my tickets and others, I went straight to a boot camp with GTech and after graduation I got a job with Microsoft Atlantic Station as Data Analyst competing with Indians, after working for 7 months I upgraded my certificate to cloud engineering, then left the Microsoft to work for Walmart HQ in Arkanas as a System Admin, then Networking Engineer then Snr Cloud Engineer, I was earning roughly $110/hr working 40hrs/wk , which I was able to save and form my company ( s-corp).

I bought a 26ft box truck after I left my job to start a trucking company with hope, which after I got a loan from a community bank and added another truck, making it 2, I was driving one of the truck and have a driver in the other one paying him 25% after fuel deductions and both were doing OTR, hauling for Amazon and booking loads off Loadboards, I made in my first year almost $210k gross.

I enrolled for 3 weeks to earn my CDL A, which I saved enough from the box truck and bought a semi doing hook and drop for Amazon and booking off from other brokers I built up a relationship with during the Covid as rate was skyrocketing to even$10/mile and I was covering 4000 miles a week.

I made enough money from the Semi and 2 box truck, which I later sold off the box truck and venture fully into Semi. I approached 4 banks and luckily I was approved. I got firstly 3 semi and 3 trailers then got my Hazmat, Tanker, Twic, TSA endorsements.

I paid off my loans quickly and applied for another business loan with a business deal/plan to banks, I have BOA, Chase, Delta approved my loan/ financing with 3.5% interest rate and I was able to purchase more trucks ( semi and trailers ).

Today I have a fleet ( 12 Tractors with trailers), I have 4 53ft Refeer Trailers, 4 53ft Dry Van, 3 48ft Flatbed, I step deck. I am into LTL, FTL, Dedicated, Long Haul ( Coast -Coast) Hazmat,

I have a dedicated lane FL - Oregon ( Reefer ) 3 times in a week and each trip pays $65,600 3 times in a week

I have a dedicated hazmat lane from NY - CA 2 times in a week ( $88 ,000 a week )

My 3 flat bed makes almost $52000 each every week and my step deck makes almost $30,000 weekly

I have 14 employees, 12 drivers and 1 broker/dispatcher that dispatch my trucks.

I know my overhead expenses are high but as S-Corp, I pay myself $10k weekly as the ceo and works only 4 hrs daily and mostly from home.

Someone will read all this and still call you a liar

How where you able to build your credit score for the bank to give you loan to buy a truck?

Your analysis is on point. As an aspiring O/O, I hope to get into this sector soon with reefers and flatbeds. God bless your hustle and for sharing this great success story.

I bought a 26ft box truck after I left my job to start a trucking company with hope, which after I got a loan from a community bank and added another truck, making it 2, I was driving one of the truck and have a driver in the other one paying him 25% after fuel deductions and both were doing OTR, hauling for Amazon and booking loads off Loadboards, I made in my first year almost $210k gross.

I enrolled for 3 weeks to earn my CDL A, which I saved enough from the box truck and bought a semi doing hook and drop for Amazon and booking off from other brokers I built up a relationship with during the Covid as rate was skyrocketing to even$10/mile and I was covering 4000 miles a week.

I made enough money from the Semi and 2 box truck, which I later sold off the box truck and venture fully into Semi. I approached 4 banks and luckily I was approved. I got firstly 3 semi and 3 trailers then got my Hazmat, Tanker, Twic, TSA endorsements.

I paid off my loans quickly and applied for another business loan with a business deal/plan to banks, I have BOA, Chase, Delta approved my loan/ financing with 3.5% interest rate and I was able to purchase more trucks ( semi and trailers ).

Today I have a fleet ( 12 Tractors with trailers), I have 4 53ft Refeer Trailers, 4 53ft Dry Van, 3 48ft Flatbed, I step deck. I am into LTL, FTL, Dedicated, Long Haul ( Coast -Coast) Hazmat,

I have a dedicated lane FL - Oregon ( Reefer ) 3 times in a week and each trip pays $65,600 3 times in a week

I have a dedicated hazmat lane from NY - CA 2 times in a week ( $88 ,000 a week )

My 3 flat bed makes almost $52000 each every week and my step deck makes almost $30,000 weekly

I have 14 employees, 12 drivers and 1 broker/dispatcher that dispatch my trucks.

I know my overhead expenses are high but as S-Corp, I pay myself $10k weekly as the ceo and works only 4 hrs daily and mostly from home.

Wow bro!

You are living the American Dream!!

I made a comment here that I gross $988k this 2022 and gross $750+k 2021 and have only been in the United States 3 years going to 4 years by June, someone said I’m lying and some other said no true. Now let me explain in details.

Firstly majority Nigerians in the US are not much exposed to living abroad, how things work in the United States, and many Nigerians, USA is their first travel experience/ destination.

What most Nigerians do when they travel to the United States is to get education and become either a Nurse, Doctor or Engineer, Work in the DC ( Distribution center or fulfillment centers) aka warehouse, housekeepers, some are Uber drivers and that’s all, which to me is not bad and maybe that’s what works for them and pays their bill.

You make money in healthcare especially RN if you’re ready to work overtime not only in Healthcare but in any other sector, you must work overtime to make more and remember the more money you make the change in your tax bracket, meaning you’ll be paying back to Uncle Sam ( IRS).

While Nigerians are working others are making it big doing business like the Russians, Indians, Chinese, Mexicans and Europeans but Africans are just working with no life.

US is designed in a way that you work and work then govt will take it back through health, that’s why Healthcare is expensive in US because you must surely end up in the hospital with either back injury, cancer or another sickness.

I live in Buckhead, atlanta GA and to be honest most Nigerians are scared to try out new things and scared of challenges while the Russians, Indians and Chinese are taking the risk to become millionaires.

Russians and E. Europe controls the trucking industry in Mid-West, Indians owns 90% of all the gas stations in the US, Chinese are into importation, real estate flipping and food, Mexicans are into construction, trucking, restaurants, White own 90% of Trucking business in the US and are the major players.

Very impressive,kudos to you bro. Some of my friends are into trucking and they tell me how much they make but they are very busy with client calls etc. I am not into the truck thing as it seems to me I don't have the strength handle the wahala that comes with trucking.

I am close to buck head area,let's link up.

Congratulations mama!!

I think 35weeks is fine, you can do earlier if you wish and don’t mind staying for a while before you give birth.

It’ll be advisable to book a return ticket because what if you’re asked at POE? If you don’t have it’ll signal you wanting to stay back in the country.

I don’t think it’s too early to contact a doctor; the earlier the better and I guess you have the luxury of time to shop around for more alternatives.

Lastly, because your visa was given for a different reason I’d advise that you write to the embassy to inform them that you are planning on Travelling to give birth there on your already existing visa. Whether or not they respond at least it would be documented that you communicated this to them . Also have it handy at POE in case you get asked, you just never know.

All the best!

Good day @all,

I have read through the thread and previous ones as well and I appreciate everyone that contributed to the information available on this platform.

My EDD is 22nd May 2023, Is it okay to book a flight now and how soon can I travel?..I am contemplating @ 35 weeks.

Must I book a return ticket?


Any airline running promo?

Is it early to contact a doctor and hospital now? I am just 16 weeks gone

Any Mama that will be traveling same period and planning to use Oakbend should reach out to me.

I have a B1/B2 visa issued this June for a pre-employment training in atlanta, the organization facilitated in schedulingthe interviewat the embassy. I later got a more stable offer in my current place of work same June and didn't travel again. I took in Mid-August.

While I understand the implications, I didn't want to re-apply due to difficulty getting an interview date. I have prove of the correspondence with the organization even when flights have been booked and I eventually communicated I wouldn't be coming again. Any advice?

Apologies for the plenty questions

Kindly help me with the name of the hospital you used

Coriander45351:
Thank you soo much for the information. I was able to get in through atlanta and was stamped in for 6months.

Just to share some information about my POE.

I declared i was coming in for child birth in 2020 for my 1st baby, so they put me through the secondary screening. They asked questions about my work, how much i have, advised me not to take discount and to make sure i come with all my hospital receipts when next i am entering.

For my 2nd entry through same atlanta, i was asked what my purpose of visit was then i was taken straight to secondary screening. I guess i was already flagged in the system from my 1st entry. They wanted to see all my receipt of payments from my 1st childbirth, including documentation from the hospital. I showed them everything. They were surprised i was coming in for another baby when they noticed i was pregnant. Wanted to know where my 1st baby was, how long i intend staying, when my EDD is, where my final destination is, who i will be staying with, how much i had on me, if i had a credit card.
Then he said i should make sure i bring all my receipts and hospital documentation next time like i did now. At that point, i knew he was going to stamp me in. WHEW!! Thank God!!

I think low hospital bill is still an issue because they were discussing if the hospital bill was high enough. My hospital zero balance letter carried $5100 for CS, luckily i gave them the receipts for the other expenses first. I.e. Gynecologist, paediatrician, Anesthetics, etc. So they saw all of those receipts 1st before seeing the amount on the zero balance letter. That didnt make them conclude i paid only $5100. My total bill was above $10k.

No one can accurately predict your future chances of getting a US visa.

Usually, people can enter the US before their visa expires and are permitted to stay there for a period corresponding to the stamp on their passport (usually 6 months max), regardless of whether their visa expires during their stay e.g. visa expires the day after they enter the US.

I briefly grew up in Macon Georgia so I perfectly relate to what you wrote. I had to move to NC in pursuit of education and where I currently live.. My problem with you is this. There is no need protecting your identity and lastly you might actually be away for a very long time except God of Joseph remembers you.. Stay strong and build yourself mentally.. Truth be told there's little or nothing anyone can do as long as it's that racist Georgia.. Forgive my long write up but I want Nigerian youths to know this.. You guys are strong, brave and hustlers forget anything.. You see those young guys especially in atlanta, Douglas, infact the whole of Georgia down to South Chicago, they are the real lazy youths.. All they do is stereotype, rape, kill, drugs and baby mama and breaking and entry.. Good morning people.. Let me add this, there's no hospital in Baltimore that you won't find a Nigerian doctor.. Not one

And there is no prison in the US where you won’t find a Nigerian inmate. Hopefully your xenophobia didn’t blind your eyes to that.

YOU have a lot of nerve to disparage Black Americans especially since one of the MAIN reasons Nigerians were ever able to migrate to the US was because of BLACK AMERICANS AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT. And oh yeah, Nigerians do the same things that you claim Black Americans do. And so do Whites. And so do Asians.

For those of you who were not daft enough to like his comment, I want to tell you something.

See the horrible way this guy spoke about Black Americans? As soon as many Nigerian men set foot on American soil, they seek out White people so that they can say those same things about Black Americans to White people which makes White people lose even more trust in Nigerians.

OP mentioned groups not wanting to help him but it wasn’t just because of his crime. Most Black organizations are reluctant to help Nigerians who really need and deserve help because of Nigerians like the guy that I am replying to. They waste no time talking bad about Black Americans to White people but the minute White people show them that they don’t see them as special, they want to cry racism and expect help from the people they disparaged. [size=8pt][/size]

I’m sure OP felt the same way and now look, he has received a longer sentence than ANY Black American man in the history of the US.

This is also why some Nigerian immigrants are very careful about the Nigerians that they befriend in the US.

I sent you a small request.



[quote author=Chriscero post=104449740]Hello House,

Wifey and I gave birth to our daughter in the US in Q1 2021 and I want to share a few tips 'cos we benefitted so much from the experience of others here. We travelled on B1/B2 visas and the baby bump was very visible. Wifey's legs were hurting too much right from Nigeria so she was on a wheelchair to help with the pain. Ironically, it prioritised us and we were able to board the aircraft and even pass through security faster.

We travelled straight to atlanta via Delta Air and from atlanta to Houston. The drilling in atlanta no be here o! We were asked to go for the secondary screening but I was fully prepared for the questions that came. The CBP officer took a quick look at wifey sitting in the wheelchair with our baby bump and asked, what are you here for?

Ans: We are here for medical reasons.
CBP: And what is the medical reason?
Ans: My wife is pregnant and we want her to put to bed in the US.
CBP: That can't be done in Nigeria?
Ans: It can and we have actually tried in the past. However, our Nigerian doctor refered us to a Doc. in the US to better manage the pregnancy since my wife has peculiar medical needs.
CBP: Any document supporting that?
Ans: Yes, showed him.
CBP: What is the name of the US Doc?
Ans. Told him.
CBP: Is he expecting you?
Ans: Yes?
CBP: Any letters?
Ans: Yes. And showed him.
CBP: Have you made any payments for your medical bills?
Ans: Yes. And I showed him.
CBP: Where will you be staying?
Ans: I told him and showed him evidence of payment.
We did not want any family drama with relations so we paid for a commercial apartment for the whole 3 months wifey will be around. Sometimes, unknown to you, your relations and friends in the US may have issues that you don't want to be vicariously visited upon you especially if your village peeps are very active . There is a lovely Nigerian couple who have a very huge self contained room for rent in Richmond, Texas and the rates are great. I can hook you up if you are interested.
CBP: How long do you plan to stay?
Ans: 3 months for my wife but just a month for me.
CBP: Why are you leaving her behind?
Ans: I need to get back to work and I have strict instructions to complete the design of the baby's room before their return.
(General Laughter and lessening of tension previously created by wicked village people)
CBP: Oh! You do now, don't you. So, how much have you got.
Ans: In cash I have $XXXXX here and in my card, I have $XXXXXX.
CBP: What do you do for a living?
Ans: I am a Bleep.
CBP: Where do you work?
Ans: XYZ company and ABC.
CBP: And your wife?
Ans: She works with WXY company.
CBP: You got any document to prove that?
Ans: Yes. And I showed him.
CBP: So what do you plan to do after the baby is born?
Ans: I will travel back to the US to accompany them back to Nigeria.
CBP: So, have you visited Northern Nigeria recently? Got any relatives or friends there?
[/color] :oMy eyes nearly popped at this unexpected question. WTF!!! I braced myself and told the whole truth and nothing but the truth 'cos I do not know what document my wicked village pipu were flashing on his computer screen.
Ans: I was born there and I schooled there many years ago but I have not visited recently.
CBP: So you wouldn't know anything about Boko Haram, right?
[color=#990000] Me thinking, thinking of all my prayer points against marine spirit, ancestral spirit, familiar spirit, etc to die by fire IJN! Somebody cannot even play with these wicked pipu again . I braced myself and continued in the line of truth.
Ans: I certainly have. I listen to the news and I know as much about Boko Haram as anyone who pays attention to the news coming from Nigeria but I have nothing to do with them
CBP: OK (smiles) Welcome to the US and all the best with the baby and your future plans.
See relief washing all over me like a river!

I thanked him and an assistant helped me wheel madam away to catch our flight to Houston.

LESSONS LEARNT.
1. CBP accepts legitimate travellers with intention to depart the US.
2. Have your all your relevant documentation with you.
3. Speak confidently and truthfully.
4. Maintain eye contact politely.
5. Have sufficient funds $$$$$

Congratulations on the visa!

I am a newbie here and your post captures the current question on my mind. From the beginning of the thread, I have read that one should apply for a B1/B2 visa. However, I am currently filling my DS-160 FORM and I am traveling for Tourism and Child birth, not business (B2).. Should I apply for a B2 visa or B1/B2 as previously mentioned here.

Secondly, please can you tell me the hospital you used previously at Houston and the costs? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hello everyone! I had my son in Emory in 2018. With all the stories of getting rejected because of low Bills and filling B1/B2 instead of B2 when filling forms, I was so worried about my interview. I'm pleased to say we had a successful application in Abuja. Here is the transcript.

VO: Good morning, may I have your passports please.
(I hand them over)
VO: Have you two ever travelled together before?
DH: Yes
VO: Where?
DH: Houston

Hi,

I used Holy Cross Silverspring and Dr Moore in 2019 because it was 5mins away from home. It turned out to be the best decision because I was 9cm dilated when we got to the hospital. Anne Arundel is very far from Silverspring unless you are open to it. I’d suggest you get there and go and inquire from the hospitals. Someone posted the hospital costs for Maryland some years ago. You can use the search button to find it but I quite remember it wasn’t cheap! Most hospitals in Maryland aren't cheap.

Currently, I’m in atlanta using Northside and North atlanta Obgyn. I didn’t use Holy Cross again because of accommodation but I really liked my experience with them and Dr Moore if that helps.

Mind sharing the cost implications

Thanks for the response.

I have gotten rates for Maryland. They are so high. I’m running back to Houston. Lol.

Did you arrive at atlanta airport as your first POE? How was the experience?

Did you take Medicaid? How many months were you stamped in? Did you use any benefits?
