ViceChief:
Guys i just got this email

Your document(s) have been collected from the US Embassy/Consulate

The passport number being returned is XXXXXXXXXX

You have chosen to have your documents delivered to the following location:

Benin, DHL, Benin, Benin

Pls was it drop box? When did u submit it.


Should I proceed to the collection center or I should give them more time?

Dear lady, even here in nairaland you are writing in February you were planted an embryo and you are following the fertility treatment.
Are you sure, American embassy doesn't read nairaland when you were saying you are not pregnant? I think if it's not nairaland, VO did see you hiding your pregnancy or did see you are not telling the truth or in your last visit you were observed what were you doing in the states.
So better blame yourself, not me.

Yes, but you can't book an appointment without paying

At the bolded is the issue.

I found your interview refreshing. You were clear and honest. Genuine travelers are now getting caught in the net... with the US now tightly scrutinizing visa applicants from Nigeria.

The only thought I had was that your monthly income is low - barely $400 per month. Also you’ve traveled to the US three times already and spent 6 weeks the last time. The VOs expect that you use the visa sparingly. Visiting the US too frequently and for long periods suggest you may have stronger ties here than your home country. The cost of traveling to and staying in the US is high... it’s tough to prove you can do this that often on a paycheck that is less than half minimum wage.

What is becoming clear - especially with the suspension of the interview waiver program - is that the days of Nigerians frequently renewing US visas to travel willy nilly as a status symbol are now over.

How insensitive can you be? You went to dig up her posts? Na wa!!!

Investigative journalist awon womb-watcher!

I can't read anywhere she blamed anybody for the negative outcome of her interview or maybe I missed the post.

Calm down abeg! it's HER denial, not yours!!!

@Ebalu953 , sorry about your denial. If i were in your shoes, I will apply again.
Whatever you chose to do, I wish you all the best.

Greatg0809:
This is the only reason why people don’t post transcripts because awon stay at home visa officers won’t let you rest, still they won’t go to the embassy and look for a job as a visa officer. Even some people that travelled once in 2 years might have issues renewing with or without stating birthing nothing is sure again. If u Dnt have anything reasonable to comment go and comment on instablog9ja.

ozymes:
It is okay. Nor vex again

Greatg0809:

Lol ozzy, I no vexoo,I’m sure if I call you now and tell you who typed this u will laugh tire

Ebalu953:


Is there a law on nairaland that states i cant follow other threads? This is very insensitive of you! FBI yes i was but unfortunately it didnt work. And i would never hide a pregnancy for any reason in the world. Never!

Blackfinegirl:



Sorry for your loss. Baby dust to you.

Please just ignore, I dont want you talking about your loss because no woman likes talking about it. When you are ready to have your rainbow baby, just select b2 medical like i did and apply.

You will surely get your Visa by the grace of God.


I wish you the best.

fkj950ax:


Totally concur with you. Let us keep the transcript coming. That's the gist if this thread. Visa refusal mustn't cause us to be insensitive to each other.

My sincere apologies to you @Ebalu953

I have a valid B1/B2 visa and i very very recently found out that I'm pregnant again (1 year and 1 month after my current visa was issued).

Can i attempt to use the visa for birth tourism or should i just stay here and give birth jeje? And i didn't plan to travel at all this year oh!

However, If i travel with the visa and declare at the POE that I'm there to have my baby and ready to pay all my bills and everything, will they cancel my visa and chase me back home?

What do you guys advice?

OmoBendel24:


Have you used this visa at all for the purpose it was issued or something?

TWoods:


If you did not indicate you would use the visa to have a baby at your previous interviews, then the right thing would be to apply for another visa.

PinkSunset:
Ok.... i asked because i saw a post on the thread about giving birth in the U.S.

I attached the image to this comment, i hope it shows because i don't really know how to do that.

Does the underlined in the image not apply anymore? I assume that those who are not allowed into the country are those who lied about being pregnant at the embassy not those who got preggers months after getting the visa.

I might be wrong though...that's why I'm asking.

Beautyaddy:


Huh... doing that right thing might be a risk that might or might not favor her.

And as you already know most Nigerians don't like taking risk.

TWoods:


That advise was provided a while back. Note also that the consular officer says your entry is determined by cbp. Cbp typically has access to your visa interview information... they will certainly know that you only requested the visa to visit, not to give birth. At that point, the choice to let you in or not is up for speculation.

Even if cbp let you in, you’ll have a harder time renewing that visa when it expires. The choice is yours.
