TeamclicksAir: I understand you are a professor of English language. Your suggestion will only waste her time and make her spend more on the fare. Agencies always have cheap fare compared to the airline . Now after spending weeks tracking the price on the websites you listed , she visits the airline website and sees the price is more expensive. What would you have her do then. If you've been following my post, you will see I always post the airlines and there current prices so members can book themselves.

olamuah: Pls have been following dis thread need some advice urgently, hv been to d embassy July wit my family for vacation but was denied visa although I was preg then nd was asked I said no, and my kids passport still virgin we have nt traveld together before and nw want to reapply but wit my hubby alone and this time making it obvious am going to give birth, my appointment is soon but am scared what if am asked y I lied the last time dat I wasn't preg what should I say?although hv gotten letter from doctores para Ti. Thnks waiting for ur reply ASAP

malory84: You can tell them you had not made proper arrangements with doctors and hospitals, so you were not really sure , and because you also didn't state childbirth in ur form, so you didn't want to complicate issues. and you had also heard from alot of people how they reject preggy women. or u can as well just tell them the truth that u were scared do u lied! The gurus in d house can give u more advice

Tvegas:
Madam if truly you've been following this thread,you will see that some consequences often accompany lying, chief of them is a 10 year ban for misrepresentation or cancelling an already issued Visa for same reason. The VO has most likely noted the false answer on your record,you can read my transcript as an example. Also,Doctores parati cannot resolve the inconsistency on your record as they also beg their patient to always say the truth at every point. Left to me, i will drop the idea for now as you've made the issue difficult but nothing is impossible so you may still go ahead.
Malory I appreciate your willingness to advice the OP but consider this fact. Do you know that a lot of NIV applicants who are repeatedly denied US visas are under the 10 year ban for misrepresentation but its not the VO's responsibility to tell them hence they keep burning their hard earn cash via several applications?. Poster can try her luck but its an obvious risk someone like me wont take. The DS160 does not even give you any direct means to declare childbirth,what you find there is medical/tourism and that medical can be for eye,nose,leg etc treatment. That is why,its the duty of every applicant to declare upfront and damn the consequence.

jaysmom: @Flowers, I met a lady who was staying in a rented house about 20 minutes from the hospital and she said she paid $700 per month. She dropped the number with me. Let me see if I can dig it out.

Please who is heading to Oakbend in December? Which accommodation is nice and closer to the hospital?

MerryMom: Truth is, whether you lie or not, VO will decide the eligibility before issuing visa so why lie to create loads of problems for yourself and other family members in future?

MerryMom: Please and please, whoever is reading this thread, I beg you, do not lie, do not pretend "there is no where to declare your birth intentions". That is why there is "B2" which clearly states Medical/Tourism.

Not trying to sound upright but we cannot continue to uphold our leaders to a certain level of criticism in Nigeria when we normal citizens are willing to lie for little things (or big things in this case). The onus is on everyone of us to tell the truth and let the VO decide to issue the visa or not based on eligibility. Truth is, whether you lie or not, VO will decide the eligibility before issuing visa so why lie to create loads of problems for yourself and other family members in future?

Sorry about the rant but I just had to also drum it here that we do not need to lie to get to the top in life. Ese gan, nagode

Jay6:

My wife is heading to Oakbend in December and I think it will be nice if Oakbend Dec/Jan mamas can hook up. @flowers, I sent you a private message.

Tvegas:
God bless you ma,This is the summary of the matter. Eligibility for NIV comes before any other factor. All of us lie but some lies are unnecessary. I know 2 people who didn't declare medical on their DS160 but told the VO the truth when asked about pregnancy, the VO went ahead to include that in their record and still issued their visas because they are well qualified for NIV.

MerryMom: @Genomi, I am not talking to you o. I am encouraging those that are yet to fill their own DS-I60 forms to come out straight because it's almost even easier to get the visa that way. So if you feel insulted, I am not responsible.

I have heard about 5 pregnant women who concealed their intentions turned back at POE because of that, imagine the stress. These people won't tell you the real reason why they were turned back but you will see some testimonials in previous nairaland pages (unfortunately, some data got wiped out). All the border officer will do is simply look at your visa application date, ask for your documents showing EDD, look at your interview transcripts, calculate it backwards and if it falls within when it's obvious one is preggys, we all know the answer.

Again, for the benefit of those that are yet to fill their forms, chose "B2", in the organization where you will visit, you can easily fill in your US hospital details there with their address, phone numbers e.t.c . That way, when you get to POE, whether Houston, Atlanta or Ajegunle , the broder officer won't stress you much or turn you back cause you concealed information which they view as premeditated falsely under "Vacation" when you were applied.

Biko, I'm not talking to those that have done their thing their way o, I'm not in the business of accusing people. Ema binu

phmom: Shawbabe: Any April 2015 mums heading to MIHS


hi shawbabe, I just sent u a mail. but I was thinking of going towards the end of march at about 35 weeks.
this 1 they want to review the price for MIHS na wa o. do u have someone der or will u pay for accommodation as well?

olamuah: Thanks for ur advice so far, really appreciate. Kipping my fingers crossed, hoping on God.Not even sure our denial was cos of dat, some said they might be thinking we want to run since it was all d family and haven't travelled before, but whatever will kip u posted.thnks

Shawbabe:

Yea I saw email saying you are trying to contact me. But it didn't show the message.

My dear personally, I think you traveling at 35 weeks is pushing it. Like Bloggerina said, 34 weeks should be out MAXIMUM! Me I plan to leave in february, Like 30 Weeks so I can have a comfortable flight and rest well. I am still trying to decide between Sugarland, Tx or Phoenix. Reason being that in Texas, I can get around easily and cost of living is cheaper.

I plan to travel with my mum so we will have to rent a place in any of the cities we decide on. I am looking at all these places suggested on here. Crossland (for phoenix) and 1-bed apt in Houston, close to sugarland.

virgymaria: Hello Everyone, I trust you all are having a great day.

I am really sorry nefertitiram for your loss. May God wipe away your tears and that of your husband and give you both the grace to bear this loss. Amen.

Please house your assistance is urgently required. I am presently pregnant and I intend renewing my US (B1/B2) visa via dropbox so that I can give birth in the US. My visa will be expiring at the end of January 2015 and I intended travelling by the beginning of January and staying till end of March. I want to know what to write as the reason for travelling. A lot of people have suggested that I write "going on vacation" since I might not be called for an interview but following this topic on nairaland has enlightened me on the dangers of that. Please what do you suggest I write as the reason for travelling. Can writing travelling for Childbirth while applying for a B1/B2 visa deprive me from getting the visa?

Thanks guys.

kuzeh:
What of those that have no choice but to fly 35/36?
God be with us all! !!

Shawbabe:

Your health and baby's health comes FIRST!!! Anybody that tells you to push it to 35 or 36 weeks won't be there to make you comfortable during the long flights and layovers! So even if it is work, beg them that you have to leave early!! The ultimate is God's protection! But we have to do our part and keep it to 34 weeks max!
