Ok in the spirit of giving back. I will like to share my story. I recently renewed my visa.

2016 got a B1/B2 Visa for my family. We had our vacation June 2016 and stayed for a month. 2017, I got pregnant and I did the change of intent. Had my baby Dec 2017 and got back April 2018. Did dropbox Feb 2019 and I got the almighty 221G letter after 8days.

Scheduling a follow-up interview was tasking but by end of March I checked my status and the whole of April was available. I picked end of April to give me ample time to prepare for the interview. My hospital bill for birthing was about $9250 excluding lab. Got all my zero receipts and kept reading this thread on nairaland.
On the D-Day. I set out with all my documents even carried my LO blue passport as I saw on this thread with her BC. Infact I was more than ready, had my itemized bill, zero receipts, 6month payslips, statement of account, letter of introduction from my office...my people I even carried my recent promotion and recommendation letter����
Guess what? absolute nothing was asked other than my receipts, itemized bill.
In my opinion, I think is the confidence that one exudes during interview goes a long way, be sincere and look them in the eye. Try not to stutter.
I mean everyone on my queue during my interview time was not given a visa, I was scared but I told myself that I will give my best smile and be as confident as I can.
Visa was granted.
Grateful to God.
Thanks for giving back, pls you did not state if you had discounts, because that is the prevalent issue and reason for denying visas.

Women, always antagonistic towards their own.All the times I was denied, I was interviewed by a woman.The visas I was given, where men.So sorry about what transpired, she was very furious, I don't see what you did wrong, except they where expecting you to notify the embassy you where travelling again for child birth, which had been same intention, so nothing like change of intent..I would advise you apply with your husband it may soften grounds...The embassy is really hot this period, but they will soon cool down by God's Grace. Wish you Good luck as u re-apply.
Amaka6934:
Good day my people, I've been following this thread from the beginning and it has helped me alot. But abeg I need help
I applied for my ist US Visa in 2015, I was about 6months pregnant and I fully declared my intention and was granted my Visa. I had my ist baby in Dallas and used MCA, in total I paid almost 11k. I also had a 2nd baby in 2017 in Houston used st luke chi and dr f. I paid about 7k5. I also collected all my receipts and zero balance and everything. I didn't overstay or use any insurance of any kind,paid all my Bill's. Fast forward to renewal of my Visa,did drop box and was invited for an interview. I was actually very shocked and speechless , it was so fast that before I could react it was over and I was denied. The vo was visibly upset infact she was RED. I was so scared thought I had committed a crime. Here's a transcript of what transpired. I wasn't pregnant at the time just wanted to renew it so applied for b1/b2 Visa.
Interview was in Abuja
Vo. Good morning
Me .good morning
Vo can I have your passport
Me. Hands it over
Vo how many times have you visited the us
Me twice in 2015 and 2017 both purposes for child birth.
(This was where everything scattered, she was typing then she looked up gradually started turning red)
Vo you were issued a Visa to have one baby and you decided to have 2 babies how convenient
Me was confused at this point was wondering if it was illegal) since it was for the same purpose and I got pregnant again and could afford the bills
Vo( she kept on repeating one Visa 2 babies, very convenient. Said this like 5 times and typing as well)
Me I was told it's ok as long as you can afford it and I paid all my bills and I'm with my receipts
Vo are you pregnant
Me no
Vo do you intend to have more babies in the us?
Me for now no, I have a boy and girl and blah blah
Vo (nodding her head in disgust like superstory ) so the only times you entered the us was to have babies
Me yes, I paid all my Bill's and I have all my receipts
Vo let me see
Me. I hand them over ( started explaining, paid about 11k for the ist blah blah
She cuts me
Vo why where you given discount
Me trying to explain self pay blah blah
Vo you were given discount, I put it to you that you used insurance
She was already so red with anger, me self do give up tire self cause it's obvious she was looking for fault
Me I didn't you can see it clearly written no insurance was used self pay
We argued back and forth when she saw she wasn't making sense she moved to the other bill. Immediately she saw it was from dr.f
Vo aha you went to dr f right,
Me yes
At this point she started typing, the only bills she used to type whatever in her computer was dr f own,she then hands me the pink form and said a bunch of rubbish me I already packed all my things cause me I don vex too.

My question is, 1.has anyone experienced this kinda thing with dr fs package, do they have anything against him?
2. Was I wrong to have used the Visa for the same purpose twice as that's what really ticked her off
3. I'm expecting now and intend to travel again, my husband wants to go for the interview to also renew his Visa but he didn't use the last one he was issued, it was a training but it was later done in Nigeria and being busy never really had the time to travel. Is it wise to apply with him or go alone .
Please I need answers on how to proceed a new doctor since dr f, didn't seem to go down well with her.
Thanks everyone.

Thank GOD for favour, I wish you safe delivery and a pleasant stay.I felt good reading your feedback almost did not want it to end...Did you apply for a medical visa?
Leez29:
Hello Mommas , hope everyone is doing fine. My trip went on quite smoothly - came in through JFK from Lagos with airfrance . Then took Delta flight to Elpaso through Atlanta, it was quite a tirey journey but glad I went through JFK .
My visa had expired but I dint do Dropbox as I saw from this thread that most people got called for interview so I quietly donated myself for a fresh interview without dropbox to save time and stories .
Using Doctoresparati letter (same I used in 2015 when I had my son) I applied with my sister (since am going with my son and will need help) but she was rejected. So I was scarred to apply for my mum cos of someones experience here as well.
My mum's visa was approved no much question only asked why she was going , my visa page, how many kids and grandkids she had.
When we got to JFK, I showed the officers my son America passport and she asked I join the citizen line and go ahead to do the self machine stuff. I stayed on the line for five mins and the officer asked me only one question - how long are you here for and I told him 3months and he stamped me and said have a nice stay . That was it , no agriculture though I had few food items and had a little below $10k as I dint want to waste time declaring.
I bless God for His favor cos we were treated like we just came back to our country. No hassles , no questions , nothing .
Am in Elpaso now in a very comfy accomodation I secured through airbnb -
Sorry for my long writeup. I wish everyone going for interview and those who have gotten visa a safe trip and safe delivery for all of us. May God grant us favor and above all Wisdom in making any decision.

How would they know your ties when in some cases your not asked what you do for a living back home, it is really funny
OmoBendel24:
Lolz! No transcript. Just like that? But they did not tie a rope to your neck to follow THEIR process through na.... Must you?

An American citizen for a daughter doesn't in any way mean you will get their visa na. You just have to mostly qualify for it as an individual, basically.

Well, sorry about the refusal.... Go build your ties better for now sha.
FamilyRe: Why Aren't Baby Strollers Popular In Nigeria? by ardel(f): 4:13am On Feb 20, 2019
Stroller is a luxury in Nigeria but a life saver out of the country.I use mine mostly when I travel cos you must need it, you walk more when shopping, because of the necessity, at the airport it's free to travel with a stroller and car seat.If you use a stroller on a road outside an estate, the stares you will get will be alarming...I guess with time we would embrace it again, strollers where common when I was a child but don't know about now.

Help, Trouble In My Marriage

Hello Nairalanders.

I have been married for a year and half. I thought hubby and i have been living happily and i would've swore he was faithful. A few days ago i saw that a random lady messaged him on Facebook and they got talking. I was shocked at first to see that he was chatting her up. Fast forward to yesterday I checked his phone and saw that himself and the lady had more conversation and what started as facebook chat had progressed from phone calls to whatsapp chat. The content of their chat seems they were eventually planning to hook up.

I confronted hubby but he wasn't remorseful and told me he doesn't owe me faithfulness and went on to sleep in the other room. Hubby and I pray together and are looking towards a very bright future together, this is not something i really saw coming from him. I am very troubled in my heart and pregnant for our first baby. He dozent feel any atom of pity that the whole issue might cause me problems and I have been wondering what has come over him. I am 100 percent faithful to my hubby and want the union to work out. I am at work typing and holding back tears. Please i need advise from mature people in the house, how do i deal with the situation. I am in my late 20s, he is in his late 30s.
My dear such is life, dnt let it hurt your baby im speaking from experience. Think.of your unborn and be geateful to GOD. Men always feel the need to explore, they feel boxed up most times.But keep praying for him and all will be well.GOD will do it trust me.

Hi, pls I am trying to book an appointment for my sister, she had an agent apply for her some two years ago, and was denied. Now I can't use her e-mail to book because the agent used a random e-mail for her profile. Please what can I do to rectify this ASAP. Has anyone had this experience. Please HELP a sister
Had that experience, it took a while but it was sorted out via phone call. Call their customer care and pray a knowledgeable person receives your call cos some tried to help to no avail kept calling till it was eventually sorted out.

I think when someone is being incorrigibly daft and mannerless,the onus is on the ones who are sane in the society to call such person to order. If not, God may hold us ransom. He said love your neighbor as yourself,it's also said open rebuke is better than secret love.

Now the onus is on her to correct herself as we have done our part.

Efe is too desperate. I thought he was just a free guy that takes things as they come, see the way he was withdrawn after he was swapped, he was even seen kneeling by his bed side praying....And today he went ahead to steal the crown.Also heard him tell Uriel over the weekend that if she had swapped him he would ve cursed her. What happened to the freestyle attitude he is suppose to portray? I know they are all there too win.
