Beautyaddy i have also responded to your assertions on that thread as well. You have it wrong. I was offered the package when i contacted the hospital from Nigeria, stating i wanted to know about their prices for birthing. i never posed as a resident of maricopa county.

chigrad:
Hi all,
Please I need advise to the following questions
Had my baby in the US on my last visitor visa, Paid all hospital bills in cash, have all receipts, Did not use medic aid.
I want to renew my visa as its expired.

1-My husband's visa will expire in early August , Can he apply for renewal in April for a planned trip for end of August or is too early?
2-As i had a baby is it ok,me and my husband apply together or is it good we apply seperately?Both have been issued visa before seperately before marriage.
3-Is it obligatory to apply through drop box if you had a visa before or can you still apply to the the face to face interview?For our situation which is better? drop box or face interview.
4-Couple have a child who was born in the USA, when filling area people travelling with you on the DS160 form , is if advisable to state the child will be travelling with parents as visa is not required or is it not necessary?
Thank you.

Mamaiyanu:
He can change it to b1/b2 I think.

You can try Abuja as well for a faster date. I wanted to reapply in Lagos but the earliest date I got was June 11 after refreshing like one million times and checking at odd times of the day and night.

I decided to peek at Abuja and voila! April 26 was staring me in the face. I jejely changed to Abuja sharply.

All the best!

TWoods:


It is not their responsibility to find out where you are calling from and thus determine if you are eligible for the package or not. it is your responsibility to read the agreement that you signed. As I mentioned above, that agreement limits eligibility to county residents only.

ozymes:
Sorry

ozycy:

1.start applying now cos the next available date for Lagos is in June already while Abuja is April. Apply now especially if you want to use Dropbox so even if you are called for interview, you will still be able to get date before your planned trip.

2. Of recent, they ve been denying people that gave birth with visitors visa, so you Amy want to apply alone. So they won't use because of one person and deny both of you. My opinion

3. Face to face would have been better but you know we want to see if we can dodge interview by doing Dropbox. You are likely to be called for interview. But try drop box first, you never can tell, you may not be called in for interview

4. Sure you should say the truth here

Safest Option - Fill another DS-160 and schedule another interview to declare your intention of child birth. This option gives you more confidence at POE and increases your visa renewal chances in the future.

Next Option - If possible, travel for a vacation with the visa before travelling for child birth. With this option, be prepared for possible drilling at POE for child birth trip. Also, chances of getting visa renewed subsequently is reduced as several people that have done this option have been denied recently after being called for interview following dropbox application.

Last Option - Travel for child birth with visa. But be prepared for possible drilling at POE which can be quite stressful. Chances for getting visa renewed subsequently is greatly reduced.

Generally, it appears the VOs have seen an increasing trend in people getting pregnant after getting VISAs and seem to be on the look out for such trends with high visa renewal denials following non-declaration of intent to use visa for medical purpose including childbirth. If there is any likelihood that you would use a visa for childbirth subsequently after a planned vacation, declare this intent even if you are not pregnant at the interview and ensure it is documented.

Pls permit me to paste this classic response to your question...copyright...@abanzi...hope it helps.
That response was for me when I had the same issue. I made use of the first option which is the safest and it worked for me without much delay at the embassy. Ask for his grace cos it was a very tough decision for my hubby and I to make. God's grace

I paid $417 over the phone with my card. I guess it's not cheap because of the season. People are starting to buy summer tickets and all

In my opinion, I think it was easy for former MIHS Int’l patients simply cos the Obama administration was friendly towards immigrants, birth tourism, etc. It is now difficult cos Trump isn’t as we all know. They look for the flimsiest excuse to reject visa applications now.

If the OP, signed the residents contract unknowingly, then she’s in for it. Let’s also be aware that u can get a zero balance from the hospital but still have some kind of medic aid pay for the difference. My advice is, we should always still call after a little while to ascertain our hospital account status.

gretop:
Good evening my people. Pls I need help and advise. The earliest visa application appointment date I got for my mum today is June 19 (why this far? ) which is close to my wife’s EDD. The plan is for her to travel with my wife first week in June because she has never travelled outside the country before so I am bothered about her travelling on her own. Is there anything I can do to get an earlier appointment date? Can you pls advise me on what to do?
