@desoul.... Please kindly send me a PM on how to go about Visa on arrival...It is really urgent. Thanks.

FabioRomani:

My wife and I were issued a b1/b2 visa in May 2016. However my wife discovered that she was some weeks pregnant (about 2 or 3 weeks, not too sure) after the visa had been issued. She honestly didn't know she was pregnant during the interview because she was asked if she was pregnant and she said no.

We travelled to the U.S for vacation in October last year which was the original reason why we applied for the visa. We later decided to have our baby in the U.S since we can afford it. 

While at the port of entry, she was asked about her EDD by the CBP officer. She told the officer the truth that her EDD is in February this year, and that she did not know she was pregnant during the visa interview. 

If you do the calculation, you will discover that it's exactly 9 months from when the visa was issued. If she had known she was pregnant, she would have disclosed it during the visa interview because we know that V.Os usually find out when people are lieing.

However, while at the POE, the CBP officer said that she lied during her interview because her expected delivery date is in february hence she was already pregnant during the interview. He was so mean and used so many harsh words. He kept saying that she lied. She was later taken to the immigration unit for some further questioning and eventually they allowed her to enter the U.S.

I am unhappy because the CBP officer said she lied; it's not everyone that tell lies.

But we are worried that this incident may affect her while renewing her visa, because he kept saying that she lied

Please advice if it can affect her visa renewal, because she honestly didn't know she was pregnant during the interview.

Please I need urgent response.

Regards.

Hello House, underground user of the thread, very helpful and here is me trying to give back to the house that gave me a lot.

DW and I went for an interview on the 6th of January in Lagos and we were denied on the basis of ties back home.

We re applied immediately but only DW this time and she got it today. interviewed by an elderly woman. Transcript below:

DW: Yes

DW: No, but am expecting one.

VO: So thats why you are going to houston?
DW: Yes

VO: So who would you be staying with
DW: A family friend

VO: How long have you know her
DW: She's a childhood friend of my husband

VO: Ok, so did she pick the hospital for you?
DW: No, online reviews but she put in a good word for the hospital

Hello good pple, I want to find out between the Hospital and Dr's Office which shd be closer to my Accommodation? I was thinking it should be the hospital considering the Day of delivery but[b] I have heard that the Dr's office shd be given more priority because u go 4 more appointments while one ends up going 2 d Hospital hopefully once.[/b] Please help a sister out as I need to make my decision about hospital/accomodation. Thank u n God bless.

Is there anyone using Dr Para Ti and needs dollars to pay the bills? I already made some prepayment but my visa was denied. Planning to inform Dr Para Ti to transfer the payment to the person while the person pays me naira. Instead of having to get my money through Western union. Need to say, i bought the dollars from black market can't afford to lose so much to money transfer.

Dear Sisters and brothers on this forum, please i need your advise badly.

For those whose mothers or mother in law have had to apply for visa to be with them at childbirth, is it advisable they apply before or after their daughter's arrival to the US. I am just afraid of stories that touch the heart (visa being cancelled etc), on the other hand, i want to apply earlier enough so we can go together.

My mum applied after me( due to logistics though) and her purpose for travel was to help her Daughter who is having a baby. She went with all the payments, hospital correspondence etc but says it was not even checked

Please help !!!

finegirlna:

You may send me a pm, cant put d info here. I used oakbend and went in thru Houston, no issues and i declared at d embassy dat i was going for childbirth.

kemex:


Thanks. I posted the transcript here. Only few people reacted to it. The second denial was so gross. She didn't give any reason. Seemed like the consular officer did not just like the idea of a birthing trip. At the third interview, I was asked about my hubby, if I'll be needing help and if i have a family in Texas. The VO sounded like it's not realistic to stay in an extended stay apartment for the long period of a birthing trip and as if one must definitely need help. Guess after checking my denial history, she just felt enabled to deny me.

Mbok, if you're using Dr Para Ti, kindly contact me.
Thanks.

For me I prefer to be closer to the hospital than Dr Office so that if there is an emergency I will get there on time to avoid using ambulance as much as possible.
Because the cost of ambulance will not be small.
