Dearfellows

Can anyone recommend any hospitals anywhere in usa.

My budget is around 5000 to 6000 usd all inclusive. I checked oakbend hwmc... they have quoted me 9800 us dollars all inclusive.

Check dr esparsti in elpaso they have an all inclusive package. Hospitals in Houston are not as affordable as they were 4-5 years ago. One hospital in California too that was mentioned on time here a very long time ago I’m unsure of the name.

Anyone delivered in Philadelphia?
I’d like to know after how many days after the birth date can i get the certificate?
And from where to get it?
In my last kids in Houston I bring the BC after 3 days of the delivery,
Please if any one know about the process let me know.

Well on the flyerthe cost looks 4000 usd plus 2000 usd for dr plus 750 for the baby... doesnt inlude epidural and induction... pls correct me

NBako:


Are you just talking about hospital for birthing ? Cos there’s a different fee for The gynaecologist that’s your Dr you see B4 and after delivery , totally different from the hospital.
I used a Dr in NJ his fees was about 2k and my birthing was 5k .. I posted about them earlier.

Epidural should be under anaesthesia fees I guess .
I didn’t use that service. But everything is listed on the flyer.

You might get cheaper in other states I guess . But this was good for me as it was straight forward and no Hidden charges

How much time it takes to get birth certificate and port in new jerssy
As per flier minimum cost is 4000+2000+750=6750

But you told the total cost u paid is 5000

Hello, please I am flying out of Abuja Nigeria with Lufthansa on Saturday, transiting through FRA to Dallas, US. I’m Nigerian flying with a Nigerian port and was fully vaccinated last year against Covid -19. Do I still need a negative covid test to fly or would my certificate of vaccination suffice?

Also, at PoE, I want to say I’m here for vacation and to have my baby even though I got the visa for tourism but its B1/B2 (which is the same for medical visa). Is this advisable or should I stick with tourism?

Please declare that you are also going to deliveryour baby during your vacation. Kindly ensure you have your evidence of sufficient funds.

Your covid vaccine card is all you need , you don’t have to do test if ur fully vaccinated.

I entered USA, Phoenix point of entry in October, declared I was there to give birth and I had proof of funds should they have asked, and if they asked why USA, I was going to be straight forward and say dual citizenship, I was 35weeks and visibly showing.

Point of entry questions
Cbp: What brings you to the USA today?
Me: to birth my baby

Cbp: how long would you be visiting
Me: 2 months

Cbp: ports please, goodluck on your birth.

I and hubby went to agriculture to declare our foods, but they just said we should continue to our connecting flight.

Flew BA, had fit to fly from Dr, no questions asked.

Oh thank you.

Phew. Okay. I think I’ll just declare if asked. I have proof of funds, doctor’s appointment in Dallas, estimate from the hospital and everything else.
Fingers crossed! �

Good evening good people in the house

Please can anyone help with affordable hospital and procedure on child birth.

Thank you

hiya did you declare you were going to have your baby at the PoE?

NBako:
I thought I put this out here Incase it helps anyone. I just had my baby in New Jersey and the Dr and hospital I used was reasonably charged. I have family in NJ so I didn’t have to pay for accommodation. I was happy after birth no other hidden charges, having a baby in the us you must pay for a dr differently from hospital charges, Not sure how to explain that part sha!! But your Obs/gynea isn’t going to see you at a hospital they have their own practice that’s d with a bigger hospital where you do the birthing ,if this make sense.
I have attached a flyer, it’s all the details of the dr and prices. I hope this helps

I was 33 weeks and really showing , was sure they would ask at POE what was the nature of my travel , but to my surprise he just asked if I had any fruits and fresh meat and where I was going to stay .. and then stamped and said welcome to America.

Haha, God I receive this favour o! I don’t want unnecessary questions please � phew. Thank you!

Good day . Please has anyone recently tried to start a new application as in fill a DS 160form.

I have been trying all night to retrieve an old application and start a fresh one but the portal has been frustrating �

@All

I just think i should drop this here hope it helps those looking for an appointment


It appears that Abuja is opening a small number of dropbox opportunities every day. Just to note, from the way they seem to be managing their appointments, it appears that everyone has an equal chance to obtain an appointment whether they use a visa agent or not. In short I would encourage you to save your money and to make your own appointment without using an agent if you qualify for Abuja's interview waiver.

Please can someone help me with answers to this? My due date is fast approaching. Agents are charging $300 as service charge only to fill form. I want to apply for Emergency interview so I need to fill my form and pay my visa fee ASAP. [/quote

I think you should just keep trying. Use a laptop and use chrome.

I had similar challenges when I tried using my phone.

Has it been more than 30days since you submitted the last DS 160? If yes, that could be the issue.

Why are you trying to retrieve it though, since you don’t have an appointment yet. Can’t you just do a new one afresh or you need some of the info on there?

No I haven’t submitted any form at all recently. I’m actually trying to start a fresh application. It just keeps refreshing. I’ve got to the point where the security question is set and name and surname/ DOB is inputted and saved then I’m kicked out again. So trying to retrieve the application I just started is also an issue.

Mamas & Papas

How much have you all paid for infant return ticket from USA to Nigeria recently?

Thanks in advance

I had same challenge. Had to persist. Took me days to complete the form because i was a bit frustrated.

Funny it only kicked my wife out once. Maybe cos she filled and completed her form late at night.
