Read of someone on this forum that made this same mistake,she came back to naija and wanted to renew her visa and was told to go back and settle the debt before coming back for renewal and she got her visa after settling the debt. I have also heard of people that even after they applied for renewal and were told to go back and settle their debt and they did they still were not given visa.
My advice to you is look for a way and work out a payment plan with the hospital and clear your debt and collect your letter of zero balance if not to get yankee visa again from 9ja go hard o.

Hi Bernghos. You may nt need to reapply. My visa expires in April and am traveln ds feb. I sent a mail to the embassy and i was told that u cn still use d visa even on d last day. What matters is the length of time u get stamped in at POE. Hope this helps.

Bernghos:
Dear House,

Please, I intend to travel in May'15 but my passport is expiring in OCT'15. Please, any idea if will be a problem to the CBP at POE?

Cheers!

I dont think Bernghos issue is the same with yours o,in her own case her passport is going to expire soon,not her visa o. I dont think its the same thing o. Will advice she renews her passport before leaving naija and travels with both. My 2 cent. Gurus in the house pls contribute.

THANKS SO MUCH

I wish I could, to begin with California is an expensive state.
Maybe your brother can transfer money to you that you would slowly lodge in your account , so your statement has enough money to foot her bills? That has to depend on what you do to, so it doesn't look suspicious.
Honestly this isn't my area of expertise. So sorry...

Phema ooo,I Don laff tire tears full my eyes.u dey labour u still remember to ask questions.that means na pre labour pain. I feel you jare, I will impress it on my subconscious mind to ask if any service is free

My dear, na correct labour ooo. Had to quickly ask in between contractions . No blame me toomuch. I no ready for stories that touch.

Doesn't strike me like she plans to pay the bills. Considering her friend helped her and she left for the US very early, there was probably no intention to pay from the onset.

what if his invitation letter states that he will foot her bills, woud that be enough grounds that her expenses wouldnt be an issue?

@ceee, replied.

Sincerely speaking, this won't fly. You will just be telling the VO that you and your wife cannot afford to give birth in the US and that is a red flag.

You either wait till you have enough money in your account before applying or apply with the little you have and hope for the best.

Search for Heliano ' s post, she is currently in Philadelphia using Delaware County memorial or so

Ok, thank you for honest response. One more thing, is $4,000 to little to present as cash to be carried by my wife? What would be the least acceptable cash a VO can accept?

The money you should present should be enough to foot your hospital bills and take care of your miscellaneous needs. You should also have extra. So it doesn't look like your using all you have for the birth project.

So, calculate how much the hospital you intend to use charges, DR's fees, Paediatrician fees, lab work, Aneasthesiologist fees, flight fare, transportation within the city you intend having your baby etc

For a sample of a budget sheet you could use, check pages 105 and 106 of this thread.

Good luck.
