Use the account that reflects his true state of affairs and can be defended. The money in the account for cars, if I understand you belong to other people for cars they want to purchase.Right.
So that isn't his money...

@ladyG the money there now is his payment( commission) for all his purchases. Just that the account has constant in flow of very large sum.

Pls, one other thing I was at Gtb to pay for B2 visa and it showed B1/B2. I asked the lady and she said there is no B2 in her system that I can use B1/B2 for medical. Since my purpose is for child birth I wanted to apply directly for medical visa. I need to b sure b4 I submit and book appointment.

It's the same thing,they combine the two together to get B1/B2. The lady you met at the bank is right

I don't agree with this. @ chanbaby, you husband is simply doing business that the money was paid in by other people does not matter. If you are asked u tell the vo that you are husband works for. ........ And he is also into car business or importation of vehicles (after all some dey come from outside naija) .while giving him the statement you can tell him that one is for his salary while the second is his business account. The fact that both are in his name is better for you. That way u might not need reference letter from bank to identify or state ownership. Oyibo people de do 2-4 jobs so it's not strange for one to be working and having a side business.

BTW does hubby work in a bank?

from what i have noticed, VO don't even like hearing about car importation and selling business. I think i read it in one of the previous threads. If you need to prove that you have money to pay for your trip, kindly put that money where you are sure won't raise questions. Money for buying and selling cars should actually be in a company account if it is a business. i might be wrong thou. try and look up previous threads

@Chanbaby
Carry the 2 statements,explain to the VO as he goes through them
-that is his salary account...
-that one has cash inflow from importation business he does on the side
Atleast that is what I did,my husband's accounts were both in his name(personal and business) all I did was explain,although we already had our money for the trip saved up in another account.I presented all and explained each as VO flipped through.

Hello house,
A quick question to those who booked flight on BA website, was your card charged the same rate as shown on the website or a totally different amount?
Thanks

Very true, they should use both statement of Accounts.since both Accounts are in his name and explain it all to the VO. It wiil enhance their chances of getting the visa even more, Good luck to them.

Each applicant MUST fill his ds 160.
So each of you will fill, submit and get the same time of appointment.

As for the question u posted on the VO's thread, you do realise the VO does not answer such questions?

Thank you so much. Muah!!!! And for the VO, that's ignorance of me I guess. God bless you

@ChanBaby I think you should go with both accounts ....it's makes more sense as long as the both accounts has your husband name has the business owner.. I went with my both accounts too ..

It seems my point was misunderstood. Let me try again. If the money is business money, can it be used to give birth? I don't believe so. That's what I mean by 'what u can defend'. So if you can defend that money, why not?
Now, you have clarified that the balance as at now reflects his own money/balance. Imo, there's no point moving the money from account a to b.so u don't start stuttering and long explanations. Take both along and explain the dynamics of each one..

Give the Vo both statements and explain to them . I know people that got visas solely by telling the vo that they are travelling to the US to buy cars and other goods eg supermarket groceries to sell in Nigeria and they got visas without any qualms

Good day house. Please I have plans of traveling in Feb. planning on using Doctoresparati in El Paso. Have read on this trend that people have being denied medical Visa sake for reservations for this doctor... Please can anyone share reason why? Make I change hospital sharp sharp. Plus i intend applying alone is there any risk of not applying with hubby. Thanks and God bless

This is not true. The documentation provided by the doctor is as required by the US Embassy. Although the petitioner may still be rejected, it would not be because of the medical documentation.

To add to what bigfido said, car importation and sales are usually viewed as smuggling business. if it's not a registered company I don't advice you go wiv it o. U just neva knw what the VO will ask for. What if company registration and taxes are asked for? Better to err on the side of caution.

Good day nairaland gurus, pls I am a bit confused. When filing my form and scheduling appointment should I choose B1/B2 or B2 alone ? since I am going for birthing purpose (medical)

I paid for B1/B2 cos B2 alone wasn't on their system at Gtbank.

Thanks for ur anticipated responses.

@chanbaby..I think this question has been answered over and over again here . You will need to read back to better equip yourself.. since it's for medical purpose select B2 for yourself but if your hubby , mom or child is going with you then you fill b1/b2 for them but yours has to be B2 only ..

Mama, I actually filled for B1/B2 as advised by the Visa Officer because i told him my purpose and i also check online for some other fact before making that decision. My own issue now is appointment date. Is too far? I can see first appointment as october 26th and i intend travel Early November. I just hope this wont cause denial again. @LadyGuinivere, come to our aid please. Thank you as always.

Good day good people of NL.....Thank you for all the info being shared here. As a silent follower, I really appreciate each and everyone....
Like the coming saying, in the spirit of giving back, Let me share my POE experience
I flew emirates on Tuesday and arrived JFK. Flight was long, but there was enough food and drinks
Entertainment was good, on air wifi and I got empty row of seats which I converted to a bed. The hostesses were so nice and kept asking if I wanted anything.
Arrived JFK, did the automated check in and then proceeded to the CBP officer.
Officer: Good afternoon
Me: Goof afternoon. Hands him my passport and the slip from d automated machine
Officer: what are u here for
Me: To have a baby
Officer: is this your first time here
Me: No
Officer: when last did you visit
Me: Dec 2014
Officer : same reason
Me: Yes
Stamps me in for 6 months and that's all. Proceeded to get my bags. No secondary inspection, ...rechecked my bags for my flight to Chicago with Jetblue airlines
Flight was delayed cos there was a bad weather at Chicago....they kept apologizing but gave us water, drinks and $20 meal vouchers. We finally boarded. Flight was good and still got complimentary cookies and water in board. Arrived Chicago safely.
To God be the Glory. Surely we would all have great testimonies in Jesus name. Amen
Wishing everyone a successful journey through all stages, Visa interview, flight, POE, accomodation, hospital, etc. Indeed we would all have a supernatural childbirth process and it will end in Praise. Amen
Thank you.
