Lol. So what do you advise. She's really worried

TWoods:


There is no law against carrying food on a flight. I don't think you can bring food from home and it will be allowed through security. You can buy food after security and board your flight though. That's the difference.

Hello NL members
Great job you guys are doing here. I'm a silent reader here and believe me I've learnt a whole lot from the few days I've spent here. I've practically imagined likeable questions from VO and CBP at Poe. But I know God's grace will always abound.

Now my situation is this:
1. My intent is to have DW give birth in the us,
2. I've learnt here to make all intentions known both at the interview and Poe.
3. I have a friend who's got a green card in us, willing to send me and DW an invite for visitation (if that will get us the visa) and thereafter use the same visa for child birth purpose later next year.
4. Or I jejely make arrangements for visa interview without the invitation from my green card friend in the us.


Permit me if I haven't framed this scenario well (as a learner) but your sincere advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Good evening all,

So I went for another interview today after coming out clean that I didn't use my previous visa for the purpose which I was meant for... Transcript below...

VO: Good morning, Passport Please
Me: Good morning and I gave him my passport
VO: Why are you going to the US and where
Me: To have my baby and am going to Boston MANOR
VO: Where will you be staying
Me: Ramada Hotel,gave him the address
VO: What do you do
Me: Told him where I work
VO: What does your DH do
Me: He owns a business and I explain his business and when he started.
VO: How much does he make a month
Me: I told him and he said wow, and I immediately, I told him I have his statements of accounts to prove he make as much as I claimed, he said I should give him the statement of accounts, which I did
VO: Have you travelled outside Nigeria before
Me: Yes, UK, UAE and US
VO: Why US and not UAE to give birth
Me: Because US gives dual citizenship which my first child already has and I don't want to deny my second child the opportunity too
VO: Does your husband have valid visa
Me: Yes and I gave him copy of his visa
Then he asked to see the receipt of my past delivery and I showed him,
VO: Are you using the same contract and hospital
Me: Yes
VO: Have you contacted the hospital
Me: Yes, he asked for the mail and new contract, and I gave him.
VO: Your Visa has been approved and he gave me the white paper.

Lesson: I realised that everybody's story is different but the most important thing is to be always truthful... And likewise, don't be scared about saying the truth.
Most importantly, I prayed, Yes... I prayed.... because the VO did not even talk or say anything about why I was denied last month....which was when I came out clean that I didn't use my visa for the purpose it was meant for before going to give birth.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions here, because if not for this place, I won't know I can go to the embassy and say I want to have my child in the US.

Sorry for the long post.

Hello house, This is me giving back �
I got into the US on 18th of September at 35 weeks pregnant through Turkish airline with my toddler. I went with my fit to fly from my doctor to the airport but they insisted I still go to port health ( I feel they are just looking for business for themselves jare). The lady at the porthealth was soo cold saying they never issue fit to fly at 35 weeks. I knew she was just being difficult so I insisted that it's on my airline policy that 35wks is okay. She finally did it and afterwards, my hubby dash her 1k...come and see her shine the brightest smile ever. Smh!!.
Anyway I almost missed my connecting flight at Turkey cus it was just 1 hr wait but thank God we made it. I travelled with my toddler.
We finally got to New York and the queue was so oooo long. A lady came to move us to self service, I got my slip and was moved to poe. This was the fastest interrogation ever!!
The officer asked why I was there...I said child birth. He then asked how much I had, I told him. The officer had no issue but his colleagues ear stood cus d money was like 9500 and so the colleague interrogated further , if it was because I didn't want to declare 10k that I made it 9500, I said no, that it just happened that was how much I got after changing to dollars. He said okay and they stamped my visa. He asked me what food I had, I said garri and could not even translate the others in English (pap, amala, crayfish, ogbono). He just asked me to go, didn't even send me to Agric

I kept looking back cus I didn't believe that was all. Then I noticed my son's passport wasn't stamped but didn't want to go back to same guy before he will remember something he forgot. So I asked another officer walking by who then told me they don't stamp pasport for citizens again.
I was so happy cus nothing was asked sef even though I had carried everything. I had my toddler in US in 2015 but I wasn't even asked for receipts.

My visa was b1/B2 which was renewed through Dropbox in December. I almost wanted to travel during the course of the year just to "use" the visa for visit purpose but thank God I didn't! .

I'm in New jersey now in a rented apartment waiting for baby's arrival. I'm still yet to understand this notarisarion from Naija and VOA cus my hubby was here the last time. Hopefully I will understand it before baby comes, if not, someone who has done it in NJ can give me expo.
All the best guys

I would say the invitation letter is quite okay if you can prove relationship. But you can also apply on your own but note that applying on your own will increase your cost and hence budget as you'll have to factor in feeding and accommodation

AroOkigbo:

Get a price estimate from the US hospital where you intend your DW to birth and get an appointment- note that for most hospitals, doctor's and other fees (circumcision, epidural, anesthetics) are charged separately.
Ensure you have proof of fund for the expenses- pay slip and bank statement
You may book a hotel online (invite from your US green card holder is not an assurance- it can only take care of accommodation expense)
Let your DW fill the DS-160 form- apply for B2. Apply for the B1/B2 class (it's good you stand by her on the interview and delivery dates)
Pay and secure appointment. The earlier you start, the better- earliest appointment date now is thereabout Jan 19, 2018.
On the appointment date, answer all questions as sincerely as possible- those VO's are trained to spot lies and lies lead to blue paper
Follow it up with prayer. ..Good luck.

Although,I intend traveling by 31wks.

Tripletmom:


Oh yes you will need a transit visa. However, they also have a lounge within the airport where you can stay. I didnt want to spend money on the visa so i stayed there and no issue at all, we were comfortable till our flight time

Hello mamas, please I have a question for those who used Qatar Airways

Chijiuche:


check special service section on their website...Always print it closer to when you are leaving as it is always numbered. You have to summit it at any of their offices not earlier than one week and not later than 48 hours before your departure. Ensure you get email approval before the departure date.
Their 36th week is 35 weeks + any additional day and they will not carry you ( even if it is one day), so try and calculate it well. They can be very mean
