0ga be serious o!
6 months k, remember that’s 180 days .

WarriBrandChic:
it's 6mths o. There are two sections when you try scheduling an appointment now. 1. Previously refused in 6mths and 2. Regular. Appointment date will never drop if you choose option 1.

It's stated on the same appt page that one would be denied a visa outrightly for MISREPRESENTATION if you choose regular when you have been previously refused in 6mths.

However, a man I know took the risk and appeared for interview about 3weeks after refusal. He was truthful when asked by V.O. how he got an early date. Told her that he bought the date from an agent though filled his DS-160 himself. He was granted the visa.

Bottomline is, all applications and circumstances are different and he was lucky. Are you willing to take a RISK In my opinion, it's best to wait the 6mths out to avoid stories that touch.

aye88:



I think you can apply anytime though they usually say 6months. People have reapplied after refuser even when its less than 6montha. I reapplied two weeks after a refusal. I choose the option 1 for the previously refused wthin 6 months and i got a date. Infact i was even able to change the date later myself and got a date the following week. Meaning i was able to schedule another interview 3 weeks after my previous denial. If you feel you have a strong reason to reapply, by all means pls do immediatly

Dhollargurl:
Thanks a lot. Was she given though?

Please has anyone been able to get a letter from West Houston Medical Center for visa renewal purpose stating that you have a ZERO balance and no government funds/Medicaid was used to make payment and the discount applies to indigenes and foreigners

Hello everyone, thanks for the contribution. I thought I should share the outcome -

VO: How long did you stay the last time?
Me: 176 Days
VO: Why?
Me: I started bleeding right after I got to the US. I had my baby taken out prematurely to save my life. The doctor said I could not fly back to Nigeria and a written note was given to me to that effect.
VO: Can I see that?
I handed over the report
VO: How did you pay your bills?
Me: I sourced for a private insurance following the incident and it got approved. I bought the Platinum Plan, which costs about $500 per month.
VO: Did you pay the insurance premiums out of pocket?
Me: Yes I did
VO: Can I see the premium receipts and itemized bill?
I handed that as well.
VO: Has anyone filed for you?
Me: Yes
VO: Who did?
Me: My Sister
VO: Do you intend to have a baby this time?
Me: No I don’t
That was how he handed a white paper to me and told me to pick up my passport in 3 working days o.

Isn’t God just wonderful?
That was how I packed my burden of proof back.
Apparently, if you have a guarantor in the US, a Private insurance can be approved.
To everyone who contributed, thank you and I wish you good luck in your endeavor.

I am with you on this aswell but looking at Chicago. People kindly help us with hospital packages and Dr's. Thank you

Youngjenny:
i decided to try agents as its my first time(being a mum and going to the us but not virgin passport) but the prices they were calling just brought me back to nairaland. you have to pay their birth fees in full regardless of if you get the visa or not which is just a waste. And they were not honest at first telling me birthing will cost 2500 it was when i kept asking that they said its for clinics and medical center not hospitals. so ill try my luck with US and if i don't get it, then maybe i may use them for canada. i find the whole process daunting.

Kween2014:


Hello, yes i have a letter from WHMC to this effect. You can send an email to jasmine.lewis2@parallon.com requesting for this.

WarriBrandChic:
I believe It's ok reapply anytime after refusal as long as option 1 (previously refused) is chosen. But no appointments dates are up for that category at the moment and choosing option 2 will be misrepresentation. Prayer is they open up dates for this category soonest.

I will advise you stay away from agents entirely. Read up, ask and find out how to do it yourself. I used an agent for hospital and doctor’s confirmation. Guess what? The confirmation letter I got was bogus, the appointment was never confirmed. So imagine my surprise as I am preparing to travel and I call the hospital to reconfirm my appointment and they don’t have my name in their system. Imagine that happened at POE, I will be on the next plane back to Naija. Thankfully, I had booked other hospitals and doctors so I just used that instead. I’ll strongly advise everyone to do it themselves. No value add using an agent.

esthero9:


Okay. Thank you so much. Please can I possibly see a copy of the email you sent her.

WarriBrandChic:
Guess your last refused date was between last week January and first week February. No appt date on my portal yet

FOLALANA:
It was firts week of March 2019. Although, I sent several complaints via the Feedback platform (on my profile) on the error message ("THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE".

Congratulations..and I was thinking memorial was good. Which hospital are you going to use ?

Hello everyone, so i proceeded to apply for a B2 visa, i havent gotten a date yet but i have applied on the Website. My issue now is people are saying that since i have a valid B1B2 visa, even if i apply for a B2 visa i will still be issued a B1B2 visa. That applying for a new visa when i still have a valid one makes no sense and waste of money. My current visa expires in December 2019.

I am just confused at this point sef.

Biko guys come to my aid oo, since i have a valid visa i dont need to apply for a new one. that its only when it expires and i want to go give birth that is when i will apply specifically for B2 visa.

Friends in the house help crack this ooo....

Nersh:
I will suggest you call the embassy and ask these questions. State your history and why you are looking to apply for a b2 visa ( to be upfront about your intentions). Only they can guide you authoritatively.

Anything told to you here will be heresay/ guess work which will not be 100% reliable. Goodluck.

Just to say, a b2 visa is pretty specific to the intention of the non immigrant while a b1/b2 is more general. With a b2 visa, going through immigration and travel in general will be easier cos it’s clear what your intention is. I just got into Chicago yesterday on a b2 visa and immigration was a breeze. Was out in 2 mins.
