lafflaff123: @Justwise of course my post is full of assumptions and yours as the EXPERT/CONSULAR OFFICER/IMMIGRATION LAWYER/KNOW ALL/EVERYBODY ELSE IS WRONG EXCEPT ME/SABI SABI/SUPER MOD is always right.

Stick to things in Europe you know about.

The United States will not tell you that you have been banned for violating any of their regulations as they are not answerable to anybody as compared to their European counter parts,but will continue to string you along by collecting your visa application fee because thats more money into their coffers.

The OP should stop wasting her time pursuing the United States and try somewhere else.

The United States is very strict against HEALTH TOURIST and that was what she was even if she paid the hospital bills.[/b[b]]mi sis had her last two kids in usa and she still gets her visa,i guess maybe becos she looks and acts so innocent everyone just loves her so

Ever heard the word lying under OATH?the consular officer specifically ASKED her if she was PREGNANT and she LIED?it does not matter her excuse of not knowing if she wants to have the baby or not but the point is she LIED.

Pregnant women go for Visa interviews and tell the consular officers they are pregnant and still get their visa's and in her own case she played the typical NIGERIAN I AM SMARTER than everybody.

@Justwise ever gone for a US interview in your life?do you think the consular will have the time to be listening to her pleas of what happened with her not planning on having the baby in the US?her case would have been decided before she walks through the DOOR, but they have to follow the formality of conducting the interview after all she paid the visa fee for interview.

Let her go to T.B Joshua to get annointing oil,she will still be denied.

@OP try Europe. Its easier to go their and their record keeping is very poor plus if you have a baby there and have hospital payments receipt they allow you in again. But for the United States?you can continue seeing it on CNN or Cable until your child turns 18 and files for immigrant visa for you.

Vikin: What a story at a very short date

Jan 31 st she was contemplating on applying.

Feb 4 th, she got her visa before 9 am.

Na wa!

mamathrice: Hello all. I need desperate advice.

Some might remember my story. Years ago, I went for a visa interview, denied I was pregnant and had my baby in the US. I paid all my bills and everything. When I tried to renew my visa, I was rejected twice. Both times I insisted I was not aware of my pregnancy. It has been over a year since my last interview and I am thinking of applying again. Am I wasting my time?

I went as far as to write to the US immigration people after the incident and they said I shouldn't take it personally, the consular officer has to use his discretion and that I can apply again.

What do you think? Will I be wasting my money and time? And if there's a chance I could be given a visa at all... What do I do if the old matter comes up? Insist on my story that I didn't know I was pregnant? Or just say I lied and am sorry?

efoshizzle: Yes, it is possible that she was only contemplating applying on the 31st of January (thursday), and got her visa on the 4th of February (monday)...

All she would have done was book an appointment, and seeing they had availability today, taken the chance, and gone for the interview...

mamathrice: Nobody has to believe anything I have written here. How can I prove it without divulging personal information? But I don't understand or see what reasons I have to lie.

In the end, I came for advice and I ended up with testimony and as someone giving advice. Tell the truth, do the right thing, apologise for your mistakes and God will answer your prayers. Yes, sometimes the answer will be No but you won't have shamed yourself or closed yourself from future blessings.


Not getting the visa a year ago harmed me and my family in many ways, some I have shared on this site and some too fresh and painful to share. And I cheated my second child of the opportunity of being born a citizen because first, I was a coward and secondly, I was too proud to admit a lie. The VO today was very clear: medical tourism is not a crime (as long as you pay forit), it was my lying that denied me my visa renewals.

If only one person reads this thread and learns from it then I will be happy with the thought that I have been able to pass on this particular blessing in one small way.

mamathrice: Well - am back from the interview and I did what I said I would do. I told the truth, held nothing back. I was told that my lies caused my previous refusals and I had broken the first rule of the system by lying.

I was given the visa. I left the embassy in tears. Even though I was given, it is still a very painful experience, especially as it was something that I could have avoided with a little honesty.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who ever finds herself in my shoes. Tell the truth and keep your dignity. It might not alwaysget you what you want but you will be able to hold your head high in the end.

prince_onx:
The US will NEVER EVER issue you a visa after lying in your first/original interview, and the following two times you went back. Let me get this right, you went back this morning then explain to them, told the truth, and the VO now told you that you were denied the last times because you lied and now that you said the truth, here is your visa? Pleasassseee! If you can trick them with pregnancy knowing or not knowing, paid medical bills or not, which US born citizens can get waived if you know what papers to file! what make you think they believe your age? Your name? How are they sure you're not another Abdul mutalab or whatever his name is? And present purpose of traveling? You can NEVER lie under oat and change it and then receive a benefit from the US government. Your first story/post in this thread is incomplete! As for the "I went back and just told the truth thing" and got a visa, biggest lie on top of the original lie.
You don't have to prove anything to me cux this is a field I know too much about!

lafflaff123: Storyyyyy. No be only Visa them give her sef na Citizenship.

I no believe say them GIVE her. SAhe just dey yarn that story here. Once YANKEE don put RED INK for your matter it dey dey difficult.

Once again i say na STORYYY STORRYYY.

Anthony247: @OP, i've been following ur post with keen interest as well as all the responses that uve gotten so far. My advice to u, pls dont let anyone discourage u. That they denied u twice before now doesnt mean they can never ever grant u visa. It had never been a crime to give birth in US, neither will it ever be. The only problem is that they think u lied about being pregnant at the point of interview, but even at that, theres still a possibility u didnt know u were pregnant. So all u need to do is to insist, i mean INSIST on ur previous claims. If u dare change ur story, apologies wont save u, rather it might earn u a BAN! Since uve already gotten a date for ur interview, pray well and go for it with full confidence. God will grant u d Visa. I have a relative who had dsame case with u. She had her child in US and paid all her bills, time for renewal, she was denied..... she tried again after 3months on my advice and she was granted a Visa. Go and grab tha visa, but pls insist on ur ignorance.... Goodluck.

Sky-walker:


Erm, Did you not follow the post to where she said she has been granted Visa to the USA?

Emilo: @mamathrice, you maybe be saying the truth or lying as you have done in the past to make us believe that you progressed this time around. To save everyone their worries, scan the stamped page on your passport so we can see the date. Now or when you collect your passport..No go bring somebody own sha....

With this you would be exonerated...

walterkenny: Do you want it? Like do you really desire to get an American visa if yes, then continue until you get what you want,once you have the resources to. Plus cheer up and be positive

Siena:

Exonerated from what? You make it sound like she's on trial, which she clearly isn't. How self righteous can you get? Exonerate herself? Bro, listen to yourself!

She certainly doesn't have to scan any documents to tender here (Nairaland Court?) for anyone to examine. It's either you believe her, or you don't. You believing or not won't affect her quality of life. She owes no one anything.
