MadameU:
@Ahmazing, you are fine, though you in my opinion need to do a budget sheet, even though your hospital bill is 3000do a budget that shows you have kept aside or have planned to spend over 9000dollars on your hospital bills, separate amounts for paediatrician , transportation , feeding, miscellaneous et al cos that's the kinda bill and capability wey VOs like to see these days. And if your accounts have progressively been built, you have your tax receipts and business reg docs and family docs plus your game face with overflowing grace and confidence you go slay them collect ya white paper only there! All the best .
MadameU all I can say is next time you go to that embassy God will clear the way for you and you are getting your visa back because na collect dey collect am from you, it is well kiss

My wonderful ppl !!!To God Be the glory... DH and I got our B2 visa today ( Lagos 7am appointment) after 4 mnths of B1/B2 rejection. I have decided to share my testimony because I used other ppls info here to keep my faith going .However, I prayed like never before and visited the motherless home with my seed for this purpose. My B1/B2 story goes...... Got married Nov 2015 and we applied in January and interview in February 2016 B1/B2 for honeymoon and to celebrate my upcoming birthday which was 2mnths and some weeks after wedding and God being God I took in immediately after wedding but that was confirmed some days to the visa interview(although what I had in mind was to use it for child birth and vacation if I had gotten it because i went for my honey moon after wedding but needed to tell an attracting story to....... ) so on the process of the interview the VO asked if I was pregnant(immediately I remembered advise from my friends and this site that is good to say the truth ) and I said yes, that I got to know some days after applying and he asked if am giving birth in US and I said for now no plans because we just got to know but I will wish to and the decision will be after the honeymoon vacation and the VO asked again u wish to give birth....and I said yes. So he rejected us then told us to apply for B2 and make available doctors correspondence and also our financial .i was still trying to convince him that I have not made any plans so we can get the visa but he insisted and gave us the blue paper. So we left and I was sad. I talked to justwise and he gave me his advice .Then in march we started sorting for doctors correspondence and i got info here true a good friend i PM that sent DR Fs email ( God bless you thou cant remember ur name again) that i used to get correspondence for doctors F fees and hospital ( Chi St Luke’s Health hospital) and also report from Nigeria hospital and financial. Then we reapplied in May 18TH and Our transcript today:

You should do airbnb. Got a good deal on there. Few pointers.......
Don't forget to check the filters and ensure where you are renting is family friendly.
Some people charge for extra guests.... contact the host to ensure your baby doesn't count as extra guests. And also ask of their tolerance for having a new born around
You can ask for deals/discount.... I did and my future host gave me a very good deal.


If i remember anything else id let you know. Cheers

Hello everyone,trust you are all doing good,Thank God I had my baby boy via C-Section on Monday at HNMC,I used Dr Morgan,intially I was pissed about aving a repeat c section but I am glad a did cos my baby weighed 4.4kg,I don't think I could AV survived pushing him out of me. Everything went well,they were not able to give me epidural cos for some reason it wasn't staying so I was put to sleep. So far everything went well I am good and my baby is healthy no complications,I AV paid my bills paid,3k dr fees and 3500 hospital bills and 750 epidural,I was discharged and I got a letter from d hospital stating I AV performed my financial obligations,however I am still expecting the pediatrician's bill,when I called I was told my son's info wasn't yet in their billing system and I should check next week.
But I must say HNMC wasn't nice when it came to giving free things,I was give six 40mls similac,and 10 diapers and a pack of baby wipe. And they wore a top for my baby through out our 2 night stay,the top was old and worn out,I wished I had brought my own stuff from the start.
Anyway boy is doing good Alhamdulilah

Hello house.
Pls can anyone help with information on how to get accomodation in Chicago?
Would appreciate any info on getting an apartment for 5wks in July.

It may be difficult to find an apartment for 5 weeks outside of airbnb or an extended stay hotel. I haven't been to Chicago but I know in Dallas theye rarely lease out for less than 2 months except for the fully furnished apartments which are pricey. An extended stay hotel may be your best bet and you can get good deals depending on when exactly you're going. I know Candlewood suites is an extended stay kind of place and they have most things you use in a home , a decent kitchen in the room with a fridge and all. I've stayed there a number of times. If you choose that option call them to negotiate an extended stay price and also ask for the tax free stay granted for hotel stays longer than 30 days.
