Hello everyone, Thanks for making this thread so helpful. I arrived new jersey today via delta airline, a direct flight from Lagos to JFK and then to New Jersey by road. The journey was smooth and the food OK too. POE was so smooth.. Transcript CBP -what are u here for? Me- visit and child birth. CBP- how many months is your pregnancy Me- 33weeks CBP-Who are you staying with here Me - xyz CPB - how much are you with Me - xyz CBP- can I see the money Me - sure CBP-counted CBP-any doc's correspondence Me- brought out my self pay pack/ bill CBP-dont worry put it away She didn't bother looking at any of my documents and then stamped me for 6months. My luggage wasn't searched for food items even though I carried some foods. Claimed my bags and left. I thank God for the success and wishing everyone a successful trip. There is nothing to be afraid of, Just make sure you say the truth at the POE. Thank you all for contributions 11 Likes |

Can't she just send a change of intent e-mail? MCareNetwork: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by cindermum: 12:30pm On May 03, 2018 |
Ebony84: The thing is she might have issues at the port of entry when she eventually shows up for childbirth as opposed to holiday. If she scales through now, not sure she will scale through for renewal cos there's nothing she would say to convince the vo that childbirth wasn't her primary motive. I would ve said she should first use the visa for the purpose it was obtained but there's no money to throw around. So she either risks it by sending change of intent (this won't be in your file) or reapply to declare her intentions . Search for Viola2017's transcript, she did the same. She forfeited her previous visa for a medical visa. Then again what worked for her might not work for you. At the end of the day the decision is hers to make. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Awesome777:sorry my reply is coming late. Just saw your post now while going through the thread. You can give birth in the USA with ur visiting visa, it is not a crime , u don’t even have to send any letter of intent . My sister went with her visiting visa, told them she came for vacation and childbirth , and they let her through provided you have enough money on you to proof to them that you wouldn’t be a burden to the us government by using their Medicaid n u can afford to pay ur bills. Google if u can give birth in the USA with visiting visa and u would see you can 1 Like |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Teny4: 1:06am On May 04, 2018 |
I don't think it's an issue if you don't have a doc's correspondence. The major issue is have enough cash. Tell them you communicated through phone with the doc and that they don't make payment before hand. But let the doc or hospital send you their self pay bill. And also make sure to have the docs name and phone number. Good luck! Somie4: |

jenny3: How will you be getting around? If you will be riding in a car, yes it is required. I might add, required for the toddler and the baby. Yes it will be annoying, but safety first and if you are caught , a fine may be assessed. There are options available, renting one from the car rental agency. Or u might buy one outright. There are many different travel systems that can accomodate your needs. U will need to use google. More insight requested from fellow posters.. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by cindermum: 6:37am On May 04, 2018 |
Somie4: Having alot of cash isn't enough. I read somewhere in part 2 abi 3 not sure where a woman had 18k but didn't ve a hospital neither did she have a Dr and She was sent back. Please call the hospital and tell them to give you an email address or you ask them to mail you the self pay package. This way the CBP is assured you won't become a burden. Do not go without one please. Better to be over prepared. 1 Like |

[quote author=Cretaceous post=67087840]My wife's interview was today. Transcript: VO: Good morning W: GM VO: Your passport, please VO: Why are you going to the US? W: To have my baby? VO: Where are you going to in the US? W: Houston Texas VO: Why Houston Texas? W: *confused* wasn't sure if he meant why the US or why Texas and not any other states in the US. W: it was based on a friend’s recommendation. VO: looked up, (like, not convinced) W: reads body language then says: for dual citizenship purposes and access to better medical health care. VO: Where do you work? W: I work at….as a....I’m in charge of…. VO: How many years have you been working? W: 3 years VO: Where does your husband work? W: He is a …. He works at .... VO: Have you traveled before? W: No VO: Has your husband traveled before? W: Yes VO: Can I see his passport? W: Passes my passport to VO. I also have an intro letter from his coy, would you like to see it? VO: Yes, please. W: tosses it VO: I would like to see bank statement, correspondence, and budget sheet? W: passes all three documents to him. VO: Which hospital? W: Houston Medi…VO interjects and completes it. W: yes VO: Where will you be staying? W: Precious cedar mother care.

I have the marriage certificate here, would you like to see it? VO: Yes, please VO: passes a white paper and says pick up visa after three days. Advice from my wife: Be organized. Make sure all your documents are well arranged and you can easily reach them. VO looked at the bank statement and focused on where there were bulk transfers but he didn’t pick it because he noticed those transfers were from my company. So, avoid bulk transfers. And lastly, take the initiative, read body language and ask to show them documents that you think can help you. Thanks everyone Hello Cretaceous, Can you please share budget sheet of Houston Medical Centre with me. I have also contacted Precious Cedar Mother Care for the package. Thank you. 1 Like |

My dear nairalanders, I applied for my first us visa in 2014 to have my first child. Denied. Applied to have my second child this year in March (posted the transcript earlier). Denied again So I decided to apply again for the visa. I took time to fill my ds-160. In the space where they asked have you been denied a us visa before. I said Yes, and explained several reasons to contradict why I thought I was denied. In the space for employment, I also described what I do in my company with plenty story . Lagos dates were not looking favourable so I decided to pick Abuja. On top visa only God knows how much I have spent. Visa fee twice, flight ticket to Abuja, hotel in Abuja, taxi to move around. It is well. My interview was scheduled for 7:30 am this morning. I'm sure my burden of proof was more than Phemas own sef. There were 3 ladies and a guy doing interviews. The three ladies were more thorough, asking plenty questions and requesting for documents. The guy on the other hand was sharp sharp. Denying people like water in less than a minute. I was just praying to God that I should not go to the guy. Alas it was my turn and I was asked to go to him. I just braced myself and said babe let's do this. Vo: pass me your passport please Me: hands it over Vo: How are you doing today? Me: Very well thank you Vo: I see you're going to Richmond Texas, when is your exact due date Me: (Said the month and day). I'm currently 6 months pregnant Vo: You work at Bleep? (I guess he Saw that on my ds-160) Me: Yes I do. I am a manager in the Bleep dept Vo: How much do you earn per month? Me: I earn Bleep on the average although it varies monthly. So Bleep is just an average Vo: where does your husband work? Me: He works in Bleep as an Bleep. Also explained his job role briefly. Vo: How long has been working there? Me: 6 years. He started working there in 2012 Vo: How much does he earn? Me: He earns about xx annually, in addition to a yearly bonus of Bleep per annum. So on the average he earns Bleep (which was not accurate. My maths skills suddenly failed me, and I stammered) Vo: Does your husband have a us visa? Me: No he doesn't Vo: I see you were here in March. What has changed since that time? Me: I believe I did not present my financial situation properly. I have a mutual funds which has now matured and has been transferred to my account. I have access to the funds now. I also brought a 3 month bank statement the last time but now I have a 6 month bank statement which further shows my financial situation. Vo: How long are you staying in the US? Me: two months. I intend to travel at the end of June and be back by the end of August Vo: do you have a child? Me: Yes I have a son Vo: How old is He? Me: He's 3 years old Vo: Thank you ma'am for attending this interview with the us embassy Me: (At this point I was already scared cos that's the tone he used to reject all the others) Your visa has been approved! I didn't hear a word of what he said after that. I don't even know how my legs carried me out of that place No single document checked! I just thank God for favor. I've been praying and believing God since I applied, thank God he came through for me My advice of course would be to pray very well and believe God. Cos sometimes it's not about the truckload of documents you bring. Also be smart. Prayer can't do everything. We are very religious in this country and believe only prayer would solve everything. Prayer just helps after you have done the necessary things in the natural. Dress well. It boosts your confidence. I fixed human hair, did makeup wore a jacket and heels. One woman even said ahn ahn , sexy pregnant woman. Also take charge of the interview. If he asks a question, give him more details than what was asked. Don't just stand there giving one liners and waiting for the questions to be asked. Their default predisposition is to reject you, so you need to give them a reason to give you the visa by showing you know what you are saying. All the best to future applicants! 29 Likes |
