[quote author=estasplash post=48421438]Hello all, pls I'm trying to renew my visa via dropbox, after filling and submitting the D-160 I went to schedule an appointment but I'm not seeing the option for dropbox. I'm only seeing dates for interview. Pls I need help on hw to renew via dropbox.

please estasplash how did you go with the drop box thing? Plus have you given birth in the US before? Please enlighten me.

Good day everyone, am not quite new but i have been away long enough... please my question is a bit diverting from what's trending. Can anyone throw more light on drop box and this thing i hear about the embassy inviting those who have gone to birth on B1B2 visa to appear in person before visa can be re issued. I just heard this new development and would want to know if anyone has first hand experience and how it went.
Ps: sorry for any inconvenience.

Good day Abuja NIV,

I was granted B1/B2 visa in feb 2014 for the purpose of childbirth. Travelled in March and returned to Nigeria in June.
I want to renew my visa via drop box as my B1/B2 visa expired in February this year. Never been refused visa before, I have my zero balance from the hospital had my child in the US. I have just been informed by a friend that If you travelled on the above visa type, you for birthing purpose, you'll be required to appear in person. Please is this information true and what is the reason for this new development? Awaiting your prompt response. Thanks!

Hello bosslady1, I sent you an email. Please check and reply. I need to seek your opinion urgently. Many thanks!

@ ewagbamio, thanks alot. I just sent you an email. Hope to hear from you soonest.

ewagbamio:
Nice one @UBKtech! are you an IMG too? You you appear to have firsthand experience of how its going down over there.
Seeing as it is that JCU and Flinders appear to be in urban areas, can you suggest any uni located in the countryside offering Masters Programs in Public Health/Primary Care/Paliative Care etc.

Also, as to practicing in regional areas, I understand exceptions are given for Afterhours practice, kindly say a thing or two about it please.

Any other contributions you might have on the issue of Nigerian IMGs/health workers generally in Aus esp on; getting in, good locations, settling down, and the ULTIMATE -- Jobs. Info from people like you are in demand here.

Thank you

@ewagbamio, good to know I've got a colleague here. Am also am IMG and an interested in MPH 2016. Have you gotten any shool yet? Please let me in, on any news about best choice of school with respect to work-demand and stabilisation. Will be glad to read from you. I will be in Launceston next month though. I hope to start my application process while in assuie.

[quote author=jyde2014]Gd morn all,
My wife was denied at the embassy this morning without any reason. None of our documents were checked,just the normal template of refusal was given to her.....
Maybe the baby wants to be born in Nigeria......
Anyway,will give it one final shot,and if God says yes,then so be it.....

Oh dear, so sorry to hear that. Please where did she attend the interview ?what questions did they ask? What do you guys intend to do now?

[quote author=charliee2109]@amynuch my interview date will be january ending and it would be in abjua,then I would be travelling in march by God's grace.

ok great. Wishing you God's Favour! Waiting to share in your joy

[quote author=wunmi38]Lagos and beginining to believe they grant better in Abuja

Please if you can, take the pain and reapply to abuja. Get the earliest date possible and go for another interview. March is still far and I believe you will have a positive result. Trust God!

[quote author=wunmi38]My brother I wish her the very best in her interview.
Just to inform the whole huse dat were not granted the Visa and I felt really bad about it but I just remembered that if its the will of God they would have granted Us even after paying the deposit for elpaso I felt really bad because even the lady that interviewed Us was not ready to check the invoice from elpaso she said they have warned that we should not pay before interview in al I just feel its not ment to be.
They don't really app8 truth if I had said I was goin for vacation an the Visa was granted it wll be better in all i wish you all th very best my wife is due in March and.stress will be too much on her if we apply and refused again.

oh Dear! I feel so sad right now @ wunmi38. Please where did you guys have your interview (lag or abuja)? It is well.

[quote author=jyde2014]Her interview is within the week. If granted, she should leave end of the month. She's likely to go thru uk,spend few days and then proceed to Houston. Her first appointment with Dr Rizk should be 6th Feb.

@Jyde2014, my prayers are with your wife. She will get her visa by God's grace. Amen

[quote author=momc2bee]@amynuch..I'll be applying in Lagos in february too,I'm also due in May.Gods willing will be in el-paso in April.

Aww that good to know. I wish you God's favour during your interview. Please also put me in your prayers. By God's race we shall pull through and possibly plan our trip together. Where do you intend to stay in el paso?

[quote author=charliee2109]Thanks for your reply@amynuch really it would be great if firsttimer would help us get info from the front desk person so we can get a cover letter if possible or advice on what to do.
Cheers

@ Charliee2109, surprisingly, I was able to put a call through to the reservation centre early this morning and got my booking extended to one month. I was also asked to call about 11am (us time) so I can request for a cover letter. U can do same too.
Meanwhile, when is your interview? Which state to you intend to have your interview? When do you intend to travel? Just to know if we both have close date. Am looking at having mine in abuja in February. I hope to be in el paso in April cos am due in May.

[quote author=charliee2109]Hello ladies and happy new year.
This forum has been so helpful to me a lot,God bless you all and I pray we all have safe deliveries IJN amen.
I guess most of us are having the same issue of booking for 3mths and getting 2wks reservation. Pls simeone sholud share more light as to how we can go bout it so we have these docs for the interview.
Cheers

Charliee2109, my dear sadly its been same story for me too. You are lucky to get your reservation for up to two weeks, mine is just a week.. I was communicating with a reservation officer two nights ago to see how possible it will be for them to send me an email stating their policy (short time booking until arrival to el paso), unfortunately, I ran out of airtime before I could get the number to call in el paso to that effect. Maybe you should try and do same. If I get the contact, I will surely send it to this forum.

@Firstimer, please I will like to implore your help. Is it possible for you to go to the front desk and make enquiry about how we can receive a cover up letter (with regards to the booking policy at intown suites) for the purposes of interview and POE?
