Hello Guru's in the house,

What will Joe Biden winning the US presidential election mean for Birth Tourism ?

Hi,

Are you into trucking of LPG and do you think its a profitable business to venture into?

ahiboilandgas:
I know you are broke ,pained and envious person am among the top 10 percentile of wealth income in Nigeria ....let me give u more hate that will last years ....am under 40 with 12 trucks , share holding in a mega station and an employer of Labour.

Good morning everyone & happy new year,

I got a B1/B2 visa in May, 2018 and it is expected to expire in May, 2020. Even though i applied for that visa for tourism purposes, i got pregnant in July, 2018 and used it for child birth in 2019. I declared the purpose for my visit at the POE and paid my bills in full $14k plus for Virginal delivery without discount.

My question is, in view of these ongoing denials will it help my case if i use the visa one more time for vacation in March/April before applying for a renewal in May/June ?

Gurus in the house kindly advise.

.

No you do not require your LO's SSN but if u have it beautiful..you will require your LO's birth certificate tho

Kesspru:
Hello house. Had my LO in Boston. Very expensive place. But considering what is going on with Texas decided to stick with my relatives here. Please I need help filling the passport application form. Do I need social security number before I can apply for her passport?

I await your response as this is really urgent.

Thank you all.

Hmmmm this is serious

TripleKMama:
How true pls?

SUDDEN CHANGES IN US VISA RULES THAT AFFECTS NIGERIA:

This Week without prior information or notice the US Government launched a New Immigration Policy called " Build America " It's a new merit base visa application system that seeks to increase the standard of scrutiny of visa application to prevent people of questionable reputation, economic immigrants and People without travel history from getting US visa.
Under this new rules key changes have already been implemented without notice, as follows :
1. End of Drop box (automatic visa renewal without interview for existing visa holders is cancelled. Existing visa owners will now apply and be interviewed like everyone else when their visa expires )
2. Green Card to be scrapped
3. Applicants for B1 or B2 visas without adequate travel experience will now be automatically denied.
4. Applicant with monthly income below $1700 will now be considered as economic immigrants and denied.
5. Strong ties & attachments (compelling proofs of what can bring you back )to Nigeria now to be strongly emphasized.

This is serious.

@justwise what will your advice be to us then...please bear in mind that some of us are new to this forum and already have existing visas. With your experience please advise us before we make mistake

I think people will keep getting refused until we stopped bending the truth and face the reality

She was asked for proof of payment for her previous delivery, hospital/doctor correspondence and bill for her intended delivery. The VO seemed satisfied with everything but said she should give them a week or two to investigate and make no travel plans till she hears from them.

My advise will be gather the relevant supporting documents with a sizeable budget and attend the interview as soon as possible. I wish you all the best...do keep us updated.

Grubsk:
This is more like it;
I sent them an email this morning asking them the process of scheduling the next interview; cos I have been getting different advice and it’s getting confusing.
Hope is not too much to ask can you help me ask what they asked her during the interview session

No she didn't have to, she just went in for an interview.

Grubsk:
Did she have to apply again cos another information I got was that I didn’t need to apply again but I can walk in around noon and they will schedule me immediately for interview. Don’t know how true this is

What would be your advice for people like us who had obtained B1/B2 visa's before getting pregnant because i am really getting confused.

fehinebony:
This confirms my assertion! there is a vendetta on Nigerians for US visa issuance especially for child birth related cases. I was at the Lagos embassy on the 19th of December for an interview following a 221g refusal due to my hospital zero balance ( story for another post)
My advice will be that you get a hospital that charges nothing less than $10k minus doctors fee and other charges.
During my both interviews, the emphasis was on the amount I paid for the hospital( $5000) despite stressing that I paid my doctor fee and some bills. I even mentioned the amount I spent on accommodation and living expenses but the VO told me it wasn’t her business and kept insisting the hospital bill was ridiculously small.
Note: after my 221g, I emailed my hospital explaining my experience during my interview and a letter stating in details the reason for the discount was sent, tried presenting the letter but the VO refused, insisting it was not a bill and the content was not her business..
The earlier you schedule your interview, the better.
I wish you all the best and pray God touches the VO that interviews you.

Please people let us share more of our POE experiences so that others can learn.

Wowwwww, it looks like this change of intent email is no longer valid. I know someone who has had a similar experience after sending her change of intent email, they called her for an interview and with held her passport for administrative review promising that she will hear back from them in 1/2 weeks.

May God help us all because i really don't understand what is going on.

Grubsk:
Hello everyone,

I really need your help; I have a B1/B2 valid visa which I have use before; am due to travel in February and I sent an email to the embassy informing them that I would be traveling to have my baby and I got the below response from them less than an hour ago. Please I need advise on how to book a second appointment and what to expect. Thanks

“Thank you for your inquiry.

Our records indicate that you applied for a different purpose of travel during your recent interview and/or DS-160 form submission. As your purpose of travel has now changed significantly to include medical treatment in the United States, you will need to return to the Consulate for a second interview. Please note that your visa is not valid for travel at this time.

For your second interview, you should bring all available information related to your planned medical treatment including correspondence with your doctor, the estimated cost of the procedure(s), any receipts showing prepayment for care, and evidence that you have the ability to pay for all costs while in the United States up to and including living expenses for yourself and any dependents. If the purpose of your travel is childbirth, you should also include a detailed birth plan.

If you have received any kind of medical treatment in the United States on previous visits, you will also need to bring evidence of payment of all fees and charges incurred to the interview. You should note any discounts or price adjustments received and indicate the source of these adjustments if known.



Regards,

Lagos Consular Section Chief

Hi, to ascertain what is actually wrong you need to do a full fertility investigation most especially a hormone profile test. Cheers

awesomemrs:
Hello mamas. Pls, I need your contribution on this issue.

After ovulation, I start to feel pregnancy symptoms, nausea, headache, tiredness, large b88bs etc. Then around 8-12 dpo, I would have this unusually high temperature, about 38.5 degree Celsius. This high temp last for about 5 hours, then the temp goes down and all my symptoms stop. And days later, I get my period.

Please, what do you think is responsible for this?

Thank you all.

If my answer is not too late for you, i renewed my visa via drop box after change of name and my visa was issued. I did not need to attach change of name documents, i only stated previous name and marriage details in my DS160 form.

ninab:
So no one has done a drop box after a name change due to marriage ?
Let me go and sleep since my question can’t be answered�

Hi i just sent you a PM

Ayomiidele:
You can send me a private message for this information, I don't think it is allowed to share such on this page.

I just saw this on the internet, what does it mean for students who just left for their masters and those about to go...Guru’s let’s discuss

Hi everyone, i am new to this thread but i have read up from, start to finish.. great job.

I have a question giving the upcoming elections, how will that affect our investments both in savings bond and treasury bill. I will appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Will do Tnx

whyworryPH:
My dear please speak to your doctor. Testing for infection would really be important to rule it out. Infection showed me pepper last pregnancy and eventually caused my water to break and then PPROM.

I'm not so concerned about the increase in discharge cos preggy women experience that, but that itching...
Please insist on running test for infection.

@chloe00 @Mzora @PraisesG @Anitaamich Thank you for your kind responses. During the day when i use pant liner i am fine. Its just in the evening when i remove my underwear i itch because the wetness in the area causes me discomfort... I will sha talk to my doctor
