Good morning everyone, pls need your help on this. My visa application was meant for vacation and hotel was mentioned as accommodation. Now the story has changed, though the chance of intent letter has been sent and reply received. And I'm planning of staying with somebody now, if at the POE I'm asked where I will be staying do I need to still book the hotel or just mention my new host address. Please I need your help |

Really nice thread. Please will really appreciate your answers. Someone that doesn't have relatives over there can she still birth there and if possible what are the procedures. Thanks a lot. |

volsea: Where you pregnant when you applied for the visa? If no,then i think the best thing for you to do at this stage is to come clean and be truthful since the whole wake has changed. If i were you,if asked at POE,i will just tell them that visa was originally gotten for vacation and i had planned to stay in a hotel then,but since i couldn't use it for that purpose,i decided to use it for birthing and had informed the embassy of my change of intent and I'm staying with a friend now,shikina ! 1 Like |

dunnibaby: Honesty is very important. Most women that have had issues at the POE usually lie. They usually will not give you issues if you tell the truth. If you tell them, you are here to give birth. Medical Tourism is actually welcomed in the USA. As long as you did not lie to the embassy in Nigeria, if you get to the POE and tell them you are here to give birth, you won't be troubled. Most women that have had issues or were turned back usually lie or try to hide the pregnancy. A lot of people complain about several POE's as being difficult but they never tell the truth. They usually will get here and try to cover up the pregnancy. By the time the POE officer finds out, it's usually too late. Anyway, congrats and safe delivery. 2 Likes |

bisiswag: Any one can birth in the USA,whether you have relatives there or not. The important thing there is if you can afford it. If you are planning on embacking on this journey,i will strongly advice the you get a pen and jotter and start reading from part one,it will do you a whole lot of good. |

Hello house; This is an ‘almost’ silent follower [my story is on the ‘anyone trying iui, ivf’ thread] coming back to say thank you. I can honestly attribute our success at the visa interview yesterday to all the info I gathered here over the months & prayer. One good sign was that just before our turn, a man & his infant was granted by the oyibo lady we were waiting for. Meanwhile, DH was busy calmly reading a book [Lady G, u people get liver o! ], while I was feverishly internally praying make our visa money no enter bush (if denied there was inadequate EDD time left to reapply separately). The interview: VO: why are you going to the US? DH: medical reasons - my wife is having a baby and it’s a precious one, she’s having 1st baby in Bleep years of marriage… ME: involuntarily exclaiming, : hen?! DH: I mean at Bleep years of age ( I’m an old mama youngy) i.e, AMA in obstetrics/medical jargon VO starts typing: what do you do? DH: I’m a lawyer and chairman of Bleep Turning to me: what do you do? ME: Homemaker. She nods and continues typing VO: have you travelled out together before? DH: yes, to the UK in 2006 & 2008 VO: have you contacted any doctor and how much do you want to spend? ME: yes, & I pass over doc’s letter & budget sheet (courtesy this thread). VO studies it for a minute: when are you due? ME: December Bleep. VO: do you have family in Texas? ME: no, North Carolina VO: you can pick up your passports in 3 days time… My e-brethren, that was it o. I quickly gathered my papers & waddled out after DH! Only God’s favour, despite my fears, no exam of bank statement (which had only a few thousands balance) or other document apart from above mentioned. Because experienced posters & mods on this thread have been continually hammering on plainness & honesty, I had explicitly stated on my form DS160, that my reason for this travel was to birth my baby & I also contacted & printed out letters of 3 other docs/hosp just in case I needed to prove that a ‘self pay’ can deliver in the US for under $8,000. So now, forex/ticket hustle. Don’t know how it will happen cos of cost/availability but it must only end in praise! 40 Likes |

Austine2020: Is this sarcasm, or are you trying to be funny? And who is Justwise? I am giving advice. Many women, especially Nigerian, have been turned back because of this issue. Are you advocating they continue to lie? It is better of to be honest. They will not prevent you from entering if you tell the truth. The USA is different from the UK. You are allowed to come have your child here even if your sole reason is to acquire citizenship for that child. Until the law is ramified, they will not prevent you from doing so. 4 Likes |

Why did you not lie or encourage your wife to do so during your visa interview but you are here campaigning for one? I read your interview, you told the truth and the VO recommended you for that. Otubio is absolutely right! some people can't be bothered to tell the simple truth even if they are going to be paid. Of course i have lied before and im not proud of it neither will i come here to encourage people to do the same. 4 Likes |

Good afternoon beautiful people! I joined Nairaland in May 2016 and interview date was today 10.45am. I got there early enough to sort things I might have missed out... The cafe section of the car park was helpful. I forgot to print the appointment confirmation. Painful but I had to pay 1000 for 2 pages. Also, I took new passports as the one I had was with fringe hairstyle @ the cost of 1000. I stapled all doc and proceeded to the entrance for check in. All doc was accurate, contraband in my wallet were trashed. I was allowed to go in with my iced water (drained the water and left the ice). It was a long wait to my turn and the bottled water came handy. Other people wondered how I got that in. Vo: good morning with a big smile. How are you? Me: morning, fine thank you. leaning on his cubicle Vo: passport please Me: passed it on Vo: why are you going to the USA? Me: childbirth Vo:is this your first child? Me:no, I have 2 already Vo:wgere in the USA? Me: Houston, texas Vo: do you have relatives or friends there? Me:no Vo: Why the Doctor ? Me: I stuttered/blabbed and then said based on review on zocdoc and he comes highly recommended after he prompted me again. Vo:tell me what you do? Me: I own so and so company and these are what I do. Vo:how many staff do you have? Me:X numbers But, my husband will be sponsoring Vo: where does he work? Me: mentioned his company and role in detail Vo:whats the budget? Me: about $15k Vo:how so you intend to source for dollars? Me: as an individual, I'm entitled to $4000 PTA... Cuts in... What's PTA? Me: personal travel allowance Vo:ok Me : and travelex/black market for the rest Can't remember any other thing... I got the white paper!!! This is to God & God alone. The VO rejected people before me... But I kept giving thanks as I needed a miracle. No document was asked for!!! I didn't have detailed "burden of proof" as broken down on this thread... I prayed much towards this for God to go ahead and grant me favor. I specifically prayed for no doc perusing oo.. God did favour me. Thank you ALL for giving. Now on to ticket, accommodation in sugarland & dollars sourcing. Houston bound moms to be November, holla 17 Likes |

Austine2020: I noticed you modified your post after i responded so i will quote and respond to this. I will try to make this last response since i do not want to take away from the main purpose of this thread. I did not accuse anyone and never said i was holier than though. I simply stated the truth. My assertion that people lie is based on evidence and not hearsay. Again, for those who are interested in the truth and not the ill advise this person posted, JUST BE HONEST. Medical tourism is LEGAL in the USA. They Will not refuse you entry based on having your child in the states. On the other hand, if you lie, they CAN and MAY refuse entry IF and WHEN they find out. For example, if you obtained the visa in Nigeria and were pregnant at the time but didn't let them know. In some cases, when you get to the POE, they will ask if you told them at the embassy. Most will say YES, Guess what happens when they take you to SECONDARY INSPECTION - They verify. If you lied, then can send you back. If you get to the POE and they ask for the purpose of your trip, and you say just visiting and fail to mention childbirth, if they find out after, they MAY send you back for DECEIT. Do you know the amount of PAPERWORK it requires to SEND SOMEONE back? They do not do so unless they have reason to. The number one reason is usually DECEIT. If you do not lie and are truthful, you will not have issues unless you are randomly selected for further screening or your name comes up on a flagged list. When people tell you they sent them back for no reason, 99% of the time, they are lieing. 16 Likes |
