Please I need advise I had my baby in 2014,went for interview told them for visit to attend sis in law graduation as RN, was visibly pregnant About 6month,wasnt asked and I traveled at poe was asked and I told them after series of interrogation at BA was stamped six month into the USA d testimony was shared here in 2014, had my baby and paid all bills as advise on poe to ensure I have any reciept of payments which I have. On going for renewal via Dropbox was called for interview asked to narrate my trip and I did, he asked delivery was not mentioned at interview with vo and he didn't give room for explanation just denied the visa. I tried again Feb 14 2017,and explain reason for denial on application based on the fact that I didn't disclose pregnancy at interview but at poe and have paid all bills, the visa was denied again this time no story, ask question reason I want to travel but he said denied again like the last one. Pls advise I intend to reapply with family soon like early next year to visit what are my chances?please advise a sister. Thanks


But if your main purpose of applying/travelling is to give birth why don't you wait till u take in and then apply for medical visa(B2),but if no childbirth in the USA is in the plan,then apply for family vacation. But make sure u back it up with prayers
GOD GIVES VISA

Hello Guys,

My wife is schedule for an interview with US embassy for First week of August and the testimonies and advice from this forum has been amazing.
We plan she would be staying with my relative in Brooklyn New York and we use Kings County Hospital. Has anyone here used this hospital, ideas on the cost of delivery(Virginal/CS) and Any Doctors contact there to get correspondence.

Thanks for your assistance.

to say this thread has been helpful to my journey with my family is an understatement.
This has to be the most educative and informative thread on nairaland in my own opinion.......

Let me quickly share my poe experience:

As soon as we landed @ jfk on 29th Aug, 3 police officers walk up to us:
Officers: Hello
Me: Hello
Officers: What are u guys here for? (for my mind i dey think say una no go
even let us enter first?)
Me : Vacation and my wife is here to give birth
Officers: Oh your wife is pregnant?
Me: Yes she is
Officers: thats cool- what do u know about female circumcision?
Me: I told them what i know about it in my own little understanding
and my wife also did the same
Officers: Are u in support of it?
Me : Support ke? No o ( At this point i come ask them if they
are the immigration officers cos we have not even scanned our passport yet)
Officers: they quickly say no that they are just doing a survey on female circumcision
Me: I said oh ok

Meanwhile , why they are asking us questions the other lady who is one of the officers (by the
way all of them are ladies) was taking down note from my response like say they one write jamb exams.
Anyways, to cut the long story short, they led us to another officer who now started another round of
questions and ask to see our correspondence with d doctor and ask how much we have on us- the officer
later said we should proceed to the immigration that he is sure they will let us in.

As soon as we got there, they ask me to submit my passport and that of my family. I was taken to another room
for another round of questions while my wife and kids stayed outside.

I was kept on the waiting list with other folks for close to 2hrs b4 i was called in, they asked the same questions the ladies asked me
and some of the ones they asked when we went for d interview in Lagos.

Long story short, i was eventually stamped in for 6months and surprisingly when i stepped outside,
my wife told me they have already stamped her passport and that of the kids at the point they took
me inside. That they immediately handed her d passports and that of the kids and ask her to go wait for me.

In all, i just want to say thank u to everyone who has contributed to this thread and share their
wealth of knowledge with us all- i hope that my own experience will inspire others who are aspiring to go
on this journey too.
Cheers

Hmm ....JFK kwa don dey act James bond. This shows that any POE can decide to act otherwise. This tells us that no matter your POE, just be prepared. I wish your Wifey safe delivery.

Hi All,

Please I need your help.

My DW and I got the visa and during our interview we declared our intention to have a baby in New York. After getting the visa we changed our mind to travel to Florida instead and I fear that this might be a cause for dispute at the POE.

Kindly advise on what I need to do to avoid disappointment at the POE.

Thanks in advance.

Hello house!
I have shared visa and Poe experience so it's time to share my birthing experience.
I stayed in Michigan till a week to my EDD before I left for Chicago
I had my LO on Wednesday 19th of July in Chicago. A day after delivery my LO's birth certificate was ready but cldnt get it till after I was discharged (I fast tracked it).I was discharged on Friday evening..went to vital records to get the BC. Had an appointment with the paediatrician On Tuesday after I was discharged and LO was certified okay...I got a fit to fly for my LO from the paediatrician cos I was gonna travel to NY and domestic airlines need certification for infants less than 14days to fly. Went back to Michigan on weds.

Called Qatar airways Customer Care to get my LO ticket and was charged $150.(note that I got my ticket from wakanow but booked LO directly)
Hubby mailed notarized form thru FedEx (I was very disappointed in their service) after several calls to them I eventually got the package on Saturday after which I left for the airport to board plane to NY.

On Monday I went to NY passport office very early as walk in and I met a very long queue...eventually after 5hrs I made it in and my passport was processed for $165 I waited to collect it...left there around 9pm. On Tuesday I sent a mail for visa on on arrival to the immigration and got a reply after 5 hrs..
On Wednesday, Got to the airport checked in all my over weight luggage (3 big luggages 2 for me and 1 for baby) no extra charges the guy was too nice, checked in baby stroller and car seat and my supposed overweight hand luggage..lol...
Had 9 hrs layover at Doha was lodged in a hotel...slept for 3hrs before we were taken back to the airport..got to naija on Friday morn..got my luggage and went to the visa on arrival section...paid $200 and I was given change of $10 lol...
I left NY exactly 14 days(2weeks) after LO arrival.
We are doing great...just adapting to this no light country again..lol..
Thanks everyone who helped out in this journey.. o appreciate you all.. God bless

@JAZES,
Please this is my first time of posting. Am not pregnant nor planning to go to US anytime soon.
However, i was wondering if you went for the visa interview with all your family? What was the tie back home? Because I have been reading on this thread that one has to have a strong tie back in Nigeria before one can be given Visa.
Will appreciate your response. Thank you Sir

Anyone else having problems opening whmc website?? Or is it just me?

Supernaturalone:

Some sites block Nigeria IPs. If you install a Hotspot shield on your device, you'll be able to access the site.

In the spirit of giving back, I already posted my Poe expirience. I successfully had my twin via c section under doctor novoa in elpaso. Both of them were very ok so no issue and no nicu. Cs was done on Friday night and we were discharged on Sunday morning, thanks be to almighty God. I've gotten all their documents . Was waiting for my husband to go for his interview so we can add 1 baby to his ticket and 1 to mine.
