Veeeeery long post alert!

A big weldone to all the mamas and papas in the house and congratulations on all new births and about to be parents in the house.

My post is 2 years overdue and i cant but appreciate this forum . In 2015, i had my baby in richmond Virginia and because of all the information here i didnt have to ask questions from anyone. Please those that ask questions should always read tru. Its full of all necessary information.

Back to my story. I got my visa then for a conference that i didnt plan to attend. I joined this site and realised i should have said the truth. I called the embassy (i live in South Africa) and was told i could travel with it but i have to convince the CBP officer i could pay my bills. All went well and i had my baby then.

Fastforward to 2017, for renewal, i was torn between lying again or saying the truth. I decided to say the truth and i had all my burden of proof. Heres my interview

VO : why are you going to the states this time around

ME: for child birth

VO: Are you travelling alone?

ME:  Yes

VO: Y? Do you have family there?

ME: No

VO: Do you have a budget sheet?

ME: Yes and i handed it over along with the letter from my dr and hospital

VO: You had your baby there before?

ME: Yes and i have all the receipts

VO:  Let me see and your bank statement

ME: i handed them over and she flipped through all

VO: whao! Am impressed you kept all your receipts and you are so organised.
Then she calculates the hospital bill and dr's fees and compares with my budget sheet and bank statement. 
She smiles and says congratulations your visa has been approved.

ME: Thank you.

I owe it all to God and to the wonderful pple on this forum. It pays to tell the truth and have your burden of proof as well.

I used Chippenham$ Johnston willis hospital and the quote for 2015 is still the same with 2017

Sorry for the extra long post
