Hello house please can anyone help with this. Thank you

Japsylee:
I am so happy and elated for you. Please house I have a different problem. We were issued a U.S visa sometime March last year and I have visited twice while my wife was yet to use her own. She was asked wether she was pregnant last year and she said no she was not. She is now pregnant and wants to give birth in the U.s.
I am in a fix as regarding if we should write to the embassy to inform them of our plab or just travel cos we have bought our ticket already?
Please help a brother

Well for me, I checked in her car seat with the carton, underneath it i put alot of stuffs that where heavy but with small

Then i requested for wheel chair, so i could drag along two hand luggages because i carried her with baby carrier on the wheel chair, and they took one bag off me at the boarding gate to check it in.

Gingerzinger:

The AfricanAmerican lady VO would reject about 10 people before the other VO's would complete one interview. Anyways, I do not remember much, but this is our transcript (not 100% verbatim fyi).

folmus:



Thats where you would have solved all the current dilemma. "She is not pregnant now but we would like to have have baby in the US when she is pregnant in future." The V.O asked you to avoid the current problem. The POE is not smiling now. Am not discouraging you but not having a B2 for birthing might be huddle. Let them know now. If you are invited, go with your proofs.

@drafrican, thanks a lot for your help and advice... your advice saved me at point of entry. Mothers in Virginia if possible kindly don’t accept the self pay price. The immigration officer specifically told me if I had said I was going to use henricos doctors hospital, he was going to send me back to Nigeria because they use insurance.
Thanks once again @drafrican.

Titok207:
Apparently, I had the initial quote from henrico doctors hospital and had all my prenatal test done there. I then read drafricana’s post about henrico and visa renewal. At the POE, I was sent to secondary inspection. The IO that attended to me asked what hospital I wanted to use, gave him the henrico doctors hospital result and all. He then ask if that is the main hospital I wanted to use, I then mentioned to him I had changed my mind and showed him Dr Moore’s letter and all that I am aware of the insurance more reason I had to change my hospital. He replied saying; if you had told me you wanted to use this hospital, I would have send you back to Nigeria because they claim self pay whereas they use insurance and taxpayers money.
So, Mothers if possible kindly avoid hospitals with self pay price or rediculous bills. He accepted the Maryland own and stamped me in. I then asked if I wouldn’t have issue with the hospital, he said provided I pay all my bills.

Hello house, please for those that received their visa on arrival approval. Is it usually address to a company as the applicant or the name of the mother/child.

Good day mama's & papa's,

Dis forum av been of help to me, been a reader since 2017. I promised myself to give feedback, am sorry I am just fulfilling it.

In d spirit of giving back here is my Visa story, POE story and return story.

LAGOS US Embassy:: B2 [October 2018]

I did my research and mailed the hospital that I want to use, got my detailed bill from account officer, corresponding and appointment date after scheduling a B2 visa interview ...Am a first time mum.

VO: why do you want to travel
Me: to have my baby
VO: you work at *****
ME: ***** as a ******
VO: you choose Illinois cos your av relatives there?
Me: yes
VO: av u travelled out of the country before
ME: no, I av not
VO: do you have a Dr there?
Me: yes, Brot out my correspondence and gave her
VO: how much is the dr fee?
ME: told her the dr and hospital fee, and brot out by budget to give her
VO: av u made any payments
Me: no, financial officer said when I come, I can pay
VO: your husband works at ***** and for how long
ME: at ****** for 4 years, although I was wrong....
VO: do u av ur statement of account here?
ME: yes, brot out investment account letter to the embassy from d bank of about 6.5m, apparently she didn't understand, she kept looking and asked if I av another one, I gave her DH payslip from January to September .
VO: okay, bring all the documents that you have,
VO: when do u intend to travel again
ME: as soon as I get my visa, cos my dr appointment is in two weeks time.
VO: gave me a 221g form and told me, they need to verify something, I will be informed of my visa if approved or not. Passport and all documents was withheld by VO.

Got home and did my research, checked my status on the Embassy site, it indicated "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING" I tot that's the end, cos they wrote minimum period for that is about 3 months and am 28th weeks already.

6 days later, I got a message to pick up my passport and my documents, lo and behold it was approved...
I learnt in this thread to be truthful as much as possible, and it helped cos the embassy did thier investigations and approved the visa... God helped me.

I hope you don't misunderstand, we see local uninsured patients and offer the same rate. Let me rephrase, the price offered to international patients is the price originally offered to the uninsured and is in fact how the price became about. It would be wrong to discriminate on this variable if all else is the same and if there is no reason to charge more. Letter explains specifically on this matter:

Mrskay2017:
Please ,I had my two kids in this hospital, and I want to refuse, and I think this letter will be useful to my renewal, please who can I call to get the letter, thank you

Japsylee:


Thank you for your response. Please what documents should she go with if we are called after writing to inform them.
Also I was thinking of just going through Houston poe and having at least 20k dollars between me and my wife and also having a card with money as well plus a letter from a hospital and also pay ments of maybe 2k advance to the doctor and a letter from the hospital expecting me?
Also what's the worst case scenario?
Please advice? Thanks A lot

folmus:


If you remember where you had your babies, contact them.
