@Phema
Top of the day to you dear. Please I need info on MIHS services. I just narrated my ordeal at the hands of a visa officer during my visa interview last week and I am considering arming myself with another hospital estimate before I reapply. Please can you give me details on how to get through to them? I have gone to their website and I printed out the package for non-residents. Looks attractive. Is there any other thing I need to get. Do I need to get appointment from them? Please help with any info you might have that will help me. Cos I intend to prove to them that hospitals actually have packages that can be affordable and not necessarily within the $20k range.

Pls this just happened now and she is demoralised, any advice pls. I am d USA and she intend to stay with me for d period.

I read somewhere on this thread where someone said same thing happened to her sister inlaw or something and she applied to some govt agency and her visa was extended,but i cant remember the the details of the case anymore. You can consult an immigration lawyer for best advice

Phema:


I remember that case too. But she wasn't stamped in with "no extension or adjustment", so it was easy for her to appeal that decision and seek for an extension. ]

I don't have 90 days. I am due 2nd week in June. I need to travel at least 2nd week of May. Will I be refused based on not waiting till 90 days? I am wondering that they should know that I have no control over the timing of my trip cos the baby must come anyway. Mehn, why is this thing so hard?

Hi Kizluv,

Could you please send me contact details for Mobap... I've sent them messages via their website but they've not responded.
Thanks

lalavita:
So sorry about what happened to your sister. It will be better to provide more details but based on what you have said, she did not declare her birthing plans at the POE. If she did, they would not have given 2 weeks. They will either give enough time (6 months) or send her bk.

Now she has 2 options.
1. Apply for an 1-94 extension despite the annotation which said she should not. The issue is the process for application and response normally takes several weeks.

2. Quickly travel and come back. She can go to the UK or somewhere for a few days. Then come back with her burden of proof and declare birthing at POE

Please encourage your sis to be 100 percent honest and open in all her dealings with immigration. It helps a lot

I was thinking along your line of number 1. I hear it takes a really long time, that by the time she gets a response she may have had her baby and returned. But I don't know if that will affect her chances of re-entry since it was clearly stated no extension/readjustments.

Maybe she should go to mexico and return. Since she may not have a UK visa and that distance is not a small one. I hear you don't need a mexican visa if you have a US visa and traveling from US, or maybe Barbados

mom2015:
I stand to be corrected but I feel this issue of bank statement is a bit over rated . I went to the embassy with an account balance of 250k and was granted a visa even after telling the VO I was going for delivery. I was advised by my friends not to boost the account as it may look fishy.
Though I'm not in support of u going to the embassy with three statement of accounts.
My advice will be to go simple, state that ur hubby will sponsor the trip and make sure that whatever funds u have is in your hubby's account, den also prove to them that he has a stable job and dat u're also working. U can also go with other hospital packages if possible (to prove that other hospitals also offer cheaper packages) but still use the initial hospital.
The most important thing is to pray for God's favor and ure good to go.
Too much money can also portray a sign of desperation what matters most is ur history and what goes in and out of ur account not necessarily the current bank statement.
Another thing I feel that gave u away is the fact that u made a part payment when u haven't gotten a visa,according to the rumors I heard(i stand to be corrected) initial payments either for tickets or services expected to be rendered in the USA makes the VO feel u're making (forcing) him or her to feel obligated to grant u a visa. It's better to book for an appointment rather dan paying for the service.
My advice to future applicants will be to Just go with ur appointment letter and correspondence with the Dr.
I hope this helps.

justwise:


Are you honestly telling us that the VO gave you a visa as body going to deliver in US with only 250k in your account?

Popri:


Yep she should go to Barbados or St kitts, Caribbean islands closer to the Us or Mexico if possible than going all the way to the UK . Nig passport holders don't need a visa if visiting for less than 3 months
All the best...

Phema:


I'm so sorry for the disappointing news. Truth is, some people may have to apply more than once before they will be granted. In the end, it will be all worth it.


Another thing you can do is bring your budget a notch down. Look for a way your other expenses (other than the hospital bills as those can't be modified) can be reduced abit so your total budget won't exceed 2.5m. Atleast, that way, you have an extra of 1m. 1m seems way more appealing than some hundreds of thousands. Also, please and please, go to Abuja. They rarely ask why one changed venues.

Maybe she wasn't asked to produce her statement, which was a huge risk if you ask me o! N250k ke? For delivery US wants to see the MONEY!!! Proof that you won't be a burden to the govt. But she highlighted using hubby's statement which also works by the way

Mum2bee:


I agree with most of what you said, but I don't think the payment was the issue. 2 years ago I applied for a visa at 7 months and I had paid all the bills (ie hospital and physician) and I could see that the VO was desperately trying to figure out through my statements if I could pay, when I told him I had made full payments and showed him my letters he didn't bother checking any other statement. I think she was just very unlucky that day cos I don't see anything that she did wrong.

mom2015:


Yes Justwise, i was granted a visa with less dan 250k in my account. Combination of what myself and hubby earns is more dan 1.5m per month including benefits. I was thoroughly advised by people who know me not to put any other funds in my account (even though we had in some other account as we had withdrew some money at that moment) all he checked was my job history and our annual income and my account to prove I received such amount on a monthly basis.
I must tell u that I know more than 3-5 families that has done this in mine and hubby's office that were also granted a visa.
Like someone rightly said, maybe I was lucky. That means the luck runs amongst my friends and families then.

greetings house...
please can anyone help with email contact for doctors affliated with ARLINGTON MEDICAL CENTRE, DALLAS TX.

thanks.
pm me on olokings@gmail.com

smileymum:
The lady didn't even look at the correspondence from the doctor. All she looked at was my budget sheet and that was it. She didn't even compare the amount on the sheet to what was quoted by the doctor. All she said when she saw was that no hospital will charge less than 2ok for delivery and that it looks fishy that they are gearing me up to accept govt aid. I intend to move all our money into our joint acct and hope that mumsie's letter of sponsorship and bank statement will not raise eyebrows

smileymum:
The lady didn't know about the part payment cos she didnt even look at any correspondence between me and the doctor. The payment I made wasn't for any service. It is pre-requisite for getting a letter of medical responsibility and appointment from the doc. If I will be applying again, I intend to move all the funds into our joint account so that i dont present too many statements. Our joint monthly salary is about 1m. I wonder why they do not take that into consideration. What happened to us having steady jobs that can provide funds at the end of the month to foot any bills. I just think the lady didnt made up her mind not to give me the visa tho.
She's a saddist like I said. In fact u even sounded confident,so I'm still wondering about what went wrong.That means all u need to do is to try again and I'm sure with phemas burden of prove and a simple history, u shud be granted a visa by Gods grace.
Pls don't feel dejected, everything happens for a reason. Just do ur due diligence and pray,pray and pray.
