Hello nairalanders,

And so I have been silently learning from y'all and I really want to commend everyone who has at some point given pointers, shared personal experiences for the success of fellow expecting mums and Dads.

My situation goes thus, wife had previously travelled to the US (visa obtained while she was in the UK), but was denied twice on renewal because she had an issue at ATL POE ( was stopped and visa almost got cancelled) but was later allowed to continue her trip but I am sure it was recorded because it was mentioned in her interviews. she is 27 weeks pregnant and plan to use Oakbend Medical Centre, I have contacted Dr Fagbohun and he has accepted to cater for her delivery. My issue is this;

a. At the third attempt she was issued the visa for vacation as stated in her application but was not questioned if she was pregnant or expecting and she didn't disclose since she wasn't asked (probably due to fear of being denied again) as she wasn't really showing.

b. Visa was issued in February and she is due in May; I am of the opinion she should send a letter of change on intent to the US Consulate notifying them she intends to have a baby in the US. That she wasn't decided on having the baby in the US initially when applying for the US visa but has a change of mind and wants to. In order to avoid POE issues, proof of funds, and Dr's appointment is not an issue at this point but
I hope the reason stated is (b) above is viable to avoid any allegations of visa fraud or not disclosing true intent of applying for the visa.

Constructive opinions please.

Thanks everyone and any mum due in May/June with a 2 bedroom apartment to share in Richmond or Sugarland should also contact me.

My opinion from other people's experiences on the thread is, sheshould send a letter to the embassy informing them. She has a point in that, she was not asked at the interview which she could state as a reason. However, just like earlier advised, also avoid difficult POEs. I believe she'll be fine with that and all her docs intact. My opinion though

worry359:

She needs to notify the embassy, otherwise at POE if they do the calculation they could say she committed fraud by not telling the visa officer.

Hi Guys,

Please I have a question that's bothering me. I am due in September but I have a visitor's visa that will expire in May. I have the visa twice since I got it. My dilemma now is do I just renew my current visa after expiry via dropbox and then notify them of my intent to give birth in the US in September afterwards. Or am I required to apply for a Medical/Tourism visa instead?

What do you guys think? I am scared of being turned back at the POE.

Please help!

I dont think your changing hospital is a big deal,but i would advice you have a good reason for doing this just incase the Vo should ask. Or better still if you dont want to complicate things you can stick to your old hospital for the interview and port to the new hospital when you get to the States since according to you they are both in the same axis.

MrMandilas:
Thank u so much.If we get in touch with the doctor, is there documents that i should get from him or her to solidify our chances of getting the visa? because in ur burden of proof. u stated a document from the doctor in the states. will i demand for that from the doctor or will they just send it to me? if yes, am i going to pay? My wedding certificate if from Mountain of fire. is it ok? Thanks for helping me. Chukwu gozie gi.

I dont really agree that u will be sent back home at POE because of failure to write a letter of intent.
Plans do change.
Look at my own scenario, my wife has gone to US twice in with her initial visitor's visa.
The visa was to expire in April ending at the same time she will be due to give birth. Obviously the visa will expire before leaving the US around May thereabouts. Several suggestions came that she should not renew the visa here for possibility of getting refused coz shez now pregnant and all that. Another school of thought said it doesnt matter as she will be stamped in for 6 mths at the point of entry etc.
At the end of the day, I looked at the whole case OBJECTIVELY and i acted without any intent to lie.
She applied for renewal (drop box) in February that she would be going on vacation. Afterall, there is nothing like pregnancy visa and giving birth may as well qualify for going on vacation(maternity leave). She was given another two years without sneezing. Remember, there was no interview, meaning no opportunity to see her pregnancy.
At the POE in atlanta two weeks ago, we were there together and i was the one answering questions:
VO: Why are you here?
ME: On vacation, and my wife will stay back to give birth (Pure truth)
VO: Have you contacted any doctor?
ME: Yes
VO: Do you have any evidence?
ME: Yes, and i handed him the letter from the doctor (Mwhile, we have made some part payment of the doctor's fees alone)
VO: How much do you have with you?
ME: $1100
VO: Is that all you have with you?
ME: Yes, but I have some funds on my Mastercard (Showed him my Union Bank Card)
VO: Where would you be staying?
ME: with my Sister
VO: Stamped my passport, handed it over to me. Stamped my wife's passport and put in a yellow bag and called a lady .
The lady took us to another office, i think for secondary inspection.
We were alone in one room.
Then they called my wife. (Now first time she was gonna talk herself)
After few mins she came back.
VO: Why are you in the US?
My wife: To deliver a baby
VO: How much do you have with you?
My wife: $1100
VO: He checked the declaration form (we wrote same amount there)
The visa officer asked her to go back and have a seat.
2 mins later, he called the two of us out.
VO: (Handed my wife her passport)
VO: Good luck with the baby, rmber to collect all the receipts.
My wife: Thank you.
Then we left. Next time, she will appear at POE all she has to do is to have zero balance letter handy just in case she requires it.
Plans do change. Just make sure that whatever you are saying is nothing but the truth per time.
Thank you, hope this helps someone.
We plan to use Gwinnett hospital though. Any experience to share as per Gwinnett?
Thanks.

After getting a hospital and doctor that is willing to accept your wife,if your correspondence with both doctor and hospital is by phone,then you should request them to send you a mail in the case of the hospital with their fee breakdown,while that from the doctor should also indicate that he is willing to accept you and a breakdown of his fees,these you will then print out as part of your burden of proof
Some doctors demand for a fee for this service while others dont,it all depends on the doctor you are using.
Your wedding certificate can be from any church,the important thing is that they are authorised by law to conduct mariages.
