Hi utcheylee,

Lol. Try to relax a little. Take a deep breathe and then let it out. Now, read what I'm about to say carefully. You have good chances, if you apply alone, considering that you're on a tight budget. Your husband and kids will serve as your strong tie to your home country, so the likelihood of an issuance is quite high for you. You can apply for the general B1/B2 visa. Don't apply for just the B2. The B1/B2 is not as limiting as the B2. If your budget for your trip is N1.5m all-inclusive, you are good to go. Tailor your mind to giving birth in the US, and let that be your purpose for applying, because it would be rather difficult to convince a V.O that you do not intend to give birth in the US, when you are obviously heavily pregnant. In fact, you might end up getting an annotation on your visa, if you stick to this vacation story. So, at this point, I refer you to Phema's infamous burden of proof. It consists of a list of documents you will need for your visa application, in addition to the ones you already have. I cannot remember the exact page Phema's post on the burden of proof is, but you can just do a quick breeze-through to locate the page. About El Paso, now that they have a doctor's appointment and signature attached to their letter of medical responsibility, I think you can go ahead and use them. Check with other recent El Paso mamas like Lindapurple, Virtuousdiva and mumdearest to get good guidance, since they are using the hospital you intend using. If you have further questions after contacting them privately, feel free to ask here. Those with the answers will give it to you. By the way, you don't have much time on your hands, being 7 months pregnant. So get on with your visa application immediately and try to apply to Abuja, for higher chances of issuance. All the best, dear one.

For phemas burden of proof let her go to page 104 and 105

Hello All,

I want to update my ds-160 application form and i understand that a new confirmation number will be generated which will now be different from that on my appointment letter.

With this new mail the US embassy sent out recently that the ds 160 confirmation number must match that on the appointment letter. How can I go about updating my profile with the new confirmation number.

I have sent mails to their support desk but their instructions are not clear.

Please advice

Me, my wife and daughter did our visa interview today, at the end of the interview, the consular officer collected my bank statement and told us we will be contacted. He didn't ask much question.

VO: good morning
Us: good morning
VO: you were denied visa in April 2014.
Me: yes (in April 2014, our purpose of visit was same as today, but we didn't have doctor correspondence)
VO: what's your purpose of visit this time.
Me: vacation and childbirth
VO: childbirth is for your wife and not you, right
Me: yes ( with a smile)
VO: do you have doctor correspondence?
Me: yes ( I gave him email correspondence with hospital, letter of medical responsibility and 2-receipts from hospital & Ob/Gyn Doctor of 50% down payment for Hospital and for Physician bills).
VO: he read them
VO: your account statement pls ?
Me: I gave him
VO: (he left his seat with the account statement, spend about 3-mins and came back, and started typing for about 1-min)
VO: we will contact you later, don't pay any money, don't reapply.. We will contact you after further administrative processes t(he took only my bank statement and return other document to me) he also issue us a paper (221g) and mark the part that concern us,

The part marked says ," additional administrative processing is required. No further action on your part necessary. Consular section will contact you when the case is ready"

1) do anyone knows how long the administrative process will take?
2) Do anyone know if they will consider our dec 9th departure date to US, and our doctor appointment date dec 11th?

My account statement in my previous interview was low, due to dubai trip with my family. But in this interview as a permanent staff of multinational firm, I used my current acct statement so as to show source of my monthly income, I was able to maintain btw 2.7 to 5.2 for the 4-months statement.. The last balance on the acct statement was 5.1

Finally our Visa was approved today, with no question. I received a mail yesterday by 4pm to come to Embassy any Tuesday or Thursday of the week by 1:30pm. We got there, with no further question, the Lady (VO) collected our Passport & Application, and said your Visas are approved.

A big thank you to Almighty GOD, who gave Nairalanders the grace to pour out enormous knowledge on the procedure for child birth in US. GOD bless you all... U all are my great friend & family... I love u All.

Thanks sis. I went to several labs, they don't do the chlamydia culture. The one I eventually called this morning said it's 35k while the gonorrhea culture is 1500. I Don't want to pay 35k and repeat it again in the US. That was my reason for asking.
