IVF & Green Card

We are thinking of going to India for IVF and are considering Dr.Geetha Haripriya in Chennai.

1. Have any of U from the US gone to India for IVF?
2. What has your experience been with the above doc?
3. How long after you get pregnant, do they ask you to stay. This is crucial for me as I am a GC holder and if I have the baby there, I cannot bring the child to US.

Please advise

Hi, Sorry, won't be able to help with the doctor status as I am notfrom southern part of India. You can get the successful cases list from the hospital though. But yes in India these days treatment for infertility is very reasonble and has successful rate too. My bhabhi recently had baby but through IUI in first time. As far as you are on GC, so discuss with your doctor so that you will have a good idea that how long you have to stay after IVF procedure successfully done. Also contact immigration lawyer in USA before you go to India . I personally won't take a chance leaving kid behind though. Wish you a good luck.

Hi

We have done ivf in mumbai in 2005. We r from Southindia orginally.We went to india in 2005 for ivf from usa. Not sure abt the chennai doctor but

You do have the option of getting a child into US eventhough that child is born outside US condition being the mother(should be a GC Holder) enters US within 2 years of the birth of the child. The child is automatically stamped GC at the port of entry. I dont have much idea exactly what all the documentation you need to carry with you while entering US with your baby. You can search this in google. I read about this in murthy.com. An immigration attorney will be able to give you exact details.

Thanks

Hope this helps

Once both husband and wife are permanent residents, they may face the decision whether to have their children born in the U.S. or in the home country. Some people chose to have their children in the home country to be close to their families. Children born abroad to permanent resident mothers are permanent residents, if certain conditions are met. The requirements are that such a child must be brought to the U.S. on the mother's first return trip, which must occur before the child is two years of age. As of this writing, the child in this situation does not need a visa. The necessary paperwork is processed at the port of entry, based on the mother's permanent resident status and the child's birth certificate.

Hi:

We were in the same boat before. Yes we went to India and had IVF at Apollo Hospitals Chennai (Teynampet). The doctor's name is Dr. B.Sharat. We got successful in the first attempt itself. My wife took birth control pills in US itself for about one month (based on the consulation from India doctor), and went directly to Chennai. She took injections for about 3 weeks to simulate ovaries. I went there after 3 weeks, and stayed for two months. Due to god's grace, the treatment got successful in the first attempt itself.

You can apply for the Advance Parole 30 days before going to India, so that its legal to stay there for atleast two years (I believe). We had green-card during the India visit. But we didn't apply for the advance parole. My wife was there in India close to 6 months, and returned back to US, and had delivery done here. My daughter is around 7 weeks old now.

In India IVF treatments are very good, and we heard that at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai there were around 26 IVF cycles got successful during the same period when we went for treatment.

We took a furnished house for rent for about 3 months in Chennai. Luckily my company accepted me to work remotely from India.

Good luck with your treatment and you are taking a nice step to go to India for the IVF treatment. Hope to hear good news from you soon.

Hi there

I have been to Dr.Geetha Haripriya . She is quite successful. Previously I had several IUI 's done by another doctor in coimbatore. But i didn't concieve. Then i went to Dr.Geetha where she suggested me to go for an IUI for one more attempt and if i dont concieve we would go with laproscopy to see if there are any problems regarding the tubes. By laproscopy they found i had fibriods and polycystic ovaries so that has been removed. She has asked me to take 2 months break and if i concieve naturally within these 2 months tht's fine, otherwise i will be going back to her.

My sister-in-law had an IVF done by her, she concieved and just now delivered a baby.

But we both ( myself and my sister-in-law ) are not from united states. As your question for anybody from US gone to india is still not answered i believe.

One more thing Dr.Geetha haripriya personally does all the treatments and operations.In few hospitals they dont. That's something which i like about her.

This is my personal experience with her.

Good Luck.

jay.

Hi all,
I wanted info about how to contact Dr.Sarat from here regarding IVF treatment.
Does anybody have his email ? I would like to contact him before I go to Chennai for treatment, as my hubby can get only 3 weeks off. Any info regarding Dr.Sarat would be appreciated.
