DeeandGLady:

Don’t know if am allowed to post it here, but long and short story they are not in position to update a record of an already issued visa.

My B1/b2 visa allows for childbirth in the US

Before I travel I should ensure I have my doctors appointment letter, details of where I will be receiving medical care, estimated cost of financial medical care because immigration officials will ask for it.

I should know that childbirth in the US is expensive and cost can escalate if there are complications, I will be required to pay all my bills.

I should ensure I collect my itemized statement of account from my healthcare provider and receipts.

I have just summarized the letter in detail.

ibukunpops:
I feel its because you didnt mention you got discounted rates as a self paying cash patient, and then as you are talking showing her the itemised bill and direct her courteseously to look at the itemised bill.

Vlesparza:


I think it is important to address how the "so-called" discounted price is calculated with doctors as it seems that many Visa officers are unaware of this, and educating the people that are applying for their Visa's seems to be the best option for everybody. The "discounted price" is not necessarily a "discounted price", it is simply the real amount insurance companies and Medicaid pays Health providers (doctors/hospital) for the procedure. In other words, it seems that officials think that the price they see quoted for a normal delivery on a US Citizen with insurance is the amount the doctor/hospital receives from the insurance agency/Medicaid, which is absolutely false. Once again, the discounted rate is simply the amount the doctor/hospital would receive if the patient had insurance or Medicaid from these institutions. I hope this information helps to educate the members who are applying for Visa and recommend also watching the video below. Best wishes to all.

KaraDanvers:
Nah. It's kinda clear from this interview that the VO's mind was made up. The vibes are like senatornuella has reaped enough from the US and should not bother applying again. She didn't use tax payers money in anyway which makes it really weird. You can't truly say that they don't know about discount pricing. They see it all the time at interviews and POE. They must have even researched it so the VO can't claim ignorance.

OmoBendel24:


Wow! This is awesome, congratulations is very much in order.... This wasn't an easy one, thanks to God and your proper preparation. The Chicago POE experience seem to have served as a training for you I swear, came in handy. Once you actually pass through and survive secondary inspection at the US POE, nothing scares you again almost at every airport worldwide. You actually come across as a woman of steel though, the type that may be "pretending" not to know so to speak, but know loads, busy cleverly covering loose ends and stylishly blocking loopholes.

You had this together, sound responses all the way especially with adding the extras you weren't yet asked by the VO. Oh, on the POE experience, I like the part where you even refused the 2 months stamp, some good gut backed with clear reasoning as to why. God bless you all dear parents for the things you do to place your kids on an advantageous pedestal ab initio, God bless and multiply your seed sowed. Regards

Senatornuella:
I agree with you on the vibes, but it isn't my fault God blessed me with twin babies for my second trip. I have read many people who have done even 3 missionary journey. Again, my visas were both medical visas. That said. On getting home and going over the incidence of the interview, I feel really angry. For her to say that it wasn't possible to birth twin babies thru a CS and pay the amount I paid implied that I ran away from the US without paying my bills, I forged the documents I presented to her and I am a liar, n a fraud. Most people who use HNWMC pay much less. My bill got to that level cos they were twins in the first instance. My God! Yet such decision is not appealable. Isn't there a way to register such grievances. I need to clear my name. Only God know what she typed into that system. It could just be...bla bla bla lied about her bills or bla bla bla didn't pay her bills. I seriously need to clear my name for my children's sake


So sorry about this, where did the interview take place? Abuja or Lagos?. I had similar experience in Abuja when I was given 221g and I went for interview and was denied. The VO refused to even look at my itemized bills and zero balances or even listen to me and see that I paid all my bills. But reapplied in Lagos and as God may have It, this VO gave me attention, was patient with me and I had to open up, told him how the previous VO didn't give me enough audience to explain myself and pleaded with him to look at all my receipts if he wouldn't mind. I also took the hospital quote of all their prices I got from them immediately I registered along side and explained that those quotes was for cash/ self pay patients. In all, pls always ask for God's favour. There is nothing He can't do and He gives us the right VO that can have the patience to look into our cases.

Gloriagee:


Yeah that seems like the best option but available dates are pretty far away.

Jenny8935:

I don’t even know what to do, do I reapply. All the questions I read here that they ask, I didn’t even get a chance. He didn’t even look at any of my documents. I didn’t spend up to 2 mins there and am due in December.
Please advice me Abeg.

Gloriouscrown:
Good morning mamas, please will I be allowed to carry snacks and drinks through the immigration for my toddler before we board?

Also while in Houston do I need to carry a toddler car seat along for when we go out with Uber.
Thanks

Tripletmom:
Hi house, please how soon can my DH book appt for notarized consent.
Edd is mid March .
Although, he went for visa interview last week but was denied, wants to reapply but available interview date is April 11 and that’s after my Edd.

Teeqib1:
Hello Everyone I am very new here
My Dh applied for his B1/B2 visa since June but the earliest date we got was for today sept 7. I already had my visa and I am due sept 20. I had already used my visa for its visiting purpose so I didn’t have any problem at the POE when I came in for my missionary in July. I stated my intention for childbirth and all went smoothly with the Cbp no secondary inspection or anything like that. Today my Dh was denied his visa at Abuja embassy . He said he wasn’t even asked for any documents all the vo told him was that why would he let me come 6weeks earlier than him and why would me work permit me to be out of work for that long he explained to the vo that I was on maternity leave and I was entitled to it but the VO wouldn’t have it. Do you advise him to reapply soon or what do you think?

Senatornuella:
Don't be sad. I too was there yesterday and Abuja yesterday was bloody. Almost everyone came out with a pink slip. Felt like the VOs were unhappy about something. Don't give up, apply again if you can and by God's grace n favour you will get it.

Gloriouscrown:
Thank you Gloriagee

Gloriagee:
Think he can reapply. Let him concentrate on proving he has ties - well paid job, investment or home ownership, anything that shows he has ties n can your office give you a letter confirming you are on maternity leave etc
