I should have read through the pages of this forum to know but i dont know the exact page to see that and the forum has gone so far up to part 11 with each part having up to 350 or more pages. She has been a frequent traveler to Europe and the USA,which i hope will help her application. Pls No one should be offended we need help,Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for your response...The appointment I booked was for visa renewal and not for clarification which I can still cancel if it is not necessary or what do you think? I was even qualified for Dropbox but I chose interview instead in case there's need for any explanation.

Anyway u can try your luck and travel,then lets see how it goes. The mail u sent to them makes me think otherwise. Its just dicey,because when the same thing happened to a sister here,she didnt call or mail the embassy and she didnt book for appointment too,since her visa was still valid,she was advised here to travel immediately,.which she did and her journey was successful till the end. So for me i think u can give it a try,back it up with prayer and God will do the rest for U. U should have jejely travel alone and give birth to your baby without all these "my husband will join me" later things, U did the first alone,u should have done the second alone too,to avoid all these kind of problems. I have never been to the US for the first time but my wife has been travelling to the USA since 2014 with my kids,but i have never been there,Am not interested until she finishes all her missionary journey. I might apply now,they might think we are running away and problem comes with her own visa,these VO's are just unpredictable.

QUEENBIZ:
Good day my wonderful people. I have been a silent reader of this thread and I must say I've really learnt a lot from reading various post on this thread now I need your sincere assistance.
I was issued 2yrs medical visa for birthing purpose in 2015 which I successfully use and paid all my bills. My DH applied while I was in the state to join me for assistance cos I had CS but was refused. I came back after processing all my baby documents and used the visa again January,2016 for baby follow up medical appointment with his dr after a scrotal scan was done on him when I noticed a swollen scrotum and as well paid all bills. Now I intend to use the same visa for my second baby as I will be due by April and visa will expire by August and we decide that hubby should apply again December 2016 so he can join me later ard my due date so assist with our first child and his application was again refused despite showing the vo all the previous bill receipt. He re-applied within a month interval (Jan 2017) and was refused again but this time he was told not to put me on plane that my visa has been revoked. I tried to mail the embassy to mail the embassy to find out about the cancellation but the response I got does not explain whether the visa was cancelled or not and I don't know what to do next. Though I already scheduled an appointment for mid February to visit the embassy for detailed explanation and new application but I a lil bit confused. Don't know if that's the next thing to do. Kindly help a sister out.

This kind of a thing happened to a sister here on Nairaland and she was advised to travel immediately and she did and succeeded in entering US and gave birth too, and even succeeded in renewing her visa later after some hassles with the embassy. Your problem is that had it been that u read through the past parts of this thread your husband shouldnt have gone for the second interview at all with the experience some people have here.And u should have asked people for advice here and shouldnt have mail the embassy or booking appointment for clarification. And with these now they have open a case file for your case,if am not mistaken. Just wait for your appointment,wishing u good luck.

Swisstk:
I'm sorry o

If u can get visa on arrival with ur American passport.....why do people still go ahead to get Nigerian passport and 9ja visa before leaving the states?

It depends on choice, or what u want to use for your child & also the area u gave birth determines what u will use as well,because some people gave birth in atlanta & new york where our embassy is & some in cities near our embassy . meanwhile this visa on arrival was newly explored by Desoul and some people here.

This trump self! Nawao things dont change ooo,everyone has to buckle up,this president is not smiling at all.

Derinoye:



She is not the one dat said dat check it will

Ok,sorry about that.thought she was the one.

septmom:


is this the only fee you paid at the hospital ?. that is $3700. PLEASE explain.
thanks

No,She later said that they sent her additional 3,800usd pediatrician bill. So she is asking for a way to price down the pediatrician bill.

kemex:
Is there anyone using Dr Para Ti and needs dollars to pay the bills? I already made some prepayment but my visa was denied. Planning to inform Dr Para Ti to transfer the payment to the person while the person pays me naira. Instead of having to get my money through Western union. Need to say, i bought the dollars from black market can't afford to lose so much to money transfer.

Sorry about the Denial, paying your bills upfront is not a guarantee to Visa issuance. Thats why its better to get your visa first before making payments to your Dr or Hospital to avoid this kind of stress to return your money. But can't u reapply immediately like "Freshdad" did?

staceyo:

Please where is Bayshore Medical Center Pasedena

Its in Texas.

nefertitiram:


It is 4 years not 1 year. SO there is really no rush

Oh,I just saw it on their website now, i thought it was still 1 year as before.

IjayMama:

Thanks dear, I just did but same thing. As I enter location and enter the code generated on the front page, it reloads and shows session timed out and I have to start all over again but same thing happens. I don't even get the chance to enter any info. Wondering if there's a problem with their site. I need to fill this form & submit asap as its been almost year my visa expired and I'm trying to meet up the time line to be eligible for dropbox. I understand I need to renew my visa within a year after its expiry to be eligible for Dropbox or am I wrong?

You are Right.

missieytea:
Please I'm very New here and I have a couple of questions concerning travelling to the US to give birth.
1. Do I need to present my own bank account statement at the interview since my husband is sponsoring the whole trip or can I be asked to present it?
2. Does the length of stay I filled in the DS 160 form need to tally with my hotel reservation confirmation.
3. I have paid all my hospital bills as at now so it's remaining funds for the other things like feeding, accommodation etc. Is it a problem if I don't have the funds for that before the interview?? But I will definitely have it before traveling.
Thank you

U should have waited until u get your visa before paying those bills in full,but all the same it might help your application in a way. Then to your questions.(1) Since your husband is the sponsor,his statement of account is the most important and u can add yours too if u are earning some salaries or if have some money in your account as well,it will add weight to the money u prepared to spend on your Childbirth trip. (2) Both dates are supposed to tally together,at least for the success of your interview first,then its not a must that u will stay in the hotel.(3) Its a problem, because they always want to see that u are fully prepared for your trip both financially and otherwise to convince them. Atleast since u have paid your Hospital bills in full,make sure that U and your husband have atleast a reasonable amount in your Bank accounts, It might not be that big,then u can start to explain the rest to the VO that u will be ready with the rest before your departure date. Not going there with empty Bank statement of account and tell the VO stories. US visas is all about what VO sees with u there and not something that they didnt see or know if they exist or not. GoodLuck!!

Hello mates,
My LO would be 23months on departure and 25months old on return. Should I select child or infant while booking our ticket?
Please help

U have to select CHILD so far your LO will turn 2yrs before your arrival. if u dont select CHILD u will be asked to pay the balance before your arrival,.but they must see it when u will fill the date of birth of your LO in the ticket. It has happened to me in 2014 with my daughter. I just brought down their arrival date by one week, to make them come back before she is 2yrs.

chloe7:


Child is 60% of adult fare abi?, 691k is high o, na wa o. Just put a price alert on your dates and also call them give them the month your travelling and tell them to tell you the cheapest dates to fly in that month

Tickets prices are not smiling at all, I bought Emirates tickets 1.5m for my wife and my 2 kids to Seattle for xmass vacation last december, Emirates is even the cheapest,other airlines are from 2m upwards. they will be back by next week,Its not easy now and even heart breaking to buy aviation tickets in this Buhari Era. May God help Us.

Delta

Pls why is it hard to book Delta tickets direct from their websites?

muyiwaojo1:
Hello everyone, please I just need to be sure of something. My wife's passport is expiring in June(less than 6 months from now) She has a 2yrs valid US visa on it.. I want to renew the passport before she travels, but I was told that immigration do not have 32 pages passport that what they have is 64 pages and it's for frequent travelers, diplomats and businesses men.
I want to know if I obtain the 64 pages passport for her, will she encounter any type of delay/hindrance while traveling... Thanks guys

No,its just a normal passport with 64 pages,thats all and nothing more. No immigration officer will even ask u anything about that at the POE because its the same thing with the 32 pages,just the pages is the only difference. So she is good to go.

nefertitiram:
This thread is dulling o! Where is everyone? Izzit Holidays, MMM or Recession?!!

Everyone is enjoying their Christmas Holiday,attending functions. So its very few people that have time for Nairaland. But after the holiday u will see people once again travelling and attending embassy appointments,then they can have some new stories to write.My opinion though!

anonymousmum:


Mehn this your story is deep. In short you travelled with a cancelled visa.

I respect your faith. Me I no fit mehn! Fear will catch me.

God is truly faithful

Very strong woman with Faith and moral booster from her fellow Nairaland mothers who advised her to travell immediately. Devil wants to frustrate her Efforts but God said NO,. Congrats to her,Its just Lords doing.

nefertitiram:


With belle again, make that two lives

Exactly, Nef.

nefertitiram:


Azzin! Night bus tinz. God be with her

Instead of Night bus,she should forget her visa money and pay another one,then book for another appointment because its better be late than the Late. Its just too risky to travel by road at night to North these days and the road is very far. Life is precious,She can always replace the money she lost but cant replace her life if she lose it. Goodluck to her.

cisco123:
Dear housemates,
Pls I'm preparing my budget sheet for my interview in January, I used N375/$1. Hope the VO won't raise a query considering the difficulties in getting PTA from the banks nowadays.

I believe the 375 is ok, but what matters most is the weight of your Bank statement,because they dont care how u source your Dollars. So which ever rate u want to use,make sure that your bank statements is very ok with a good inflow/outlow,and an after balance of good amount that can cover what u have on your budget sheet and other expenses also. Goodluck.

nefertitiram:


E be like say the VO na learner.

Reapply with d same documents. Another VO will approve your visa

Thats Exactly what i mean, these VO's are totally different the way they see things. I didnt see any mistake she made or any reason for the denial,because everything was going well with the interview before the VO just decided to deny her the Visa. She should still reapply alone and i believe another VO will grant her the Visa.

firsttymum:

Busted

Justwise is Real and original DSS in disguise,Lol

Swisstk:
It was on the 7th of Nov

Thats correct. I always tell people that what works for one might not work for another. These VO's are different people with different ideas,thinking and understanding. One VO might deny your application while another VO will give you a visa when u reapply. People shouldn't be afraid to reapply,because those VO's see things differently,just do your homework well and all will be fine. Goodluck to everyone!!

ajobi21:
Hello house, Please, I am about to do dropbox but one of the instructions on the letter is do not drop anything not requested. Does that mean I cannot drop my receipts in my dropbox just to show my non-indebtredness. Experienced persons...pls answer o. thanks

No, u just get them the Exact documents they requested. If they need your receipts or want to know how u gave birth,then they will call u for interview,it is that time that u can go to the Embassy with all the receipts & documents that u may need to support your application.

chibertha:
Just replying her mail that's all.

Ok,I have done that through my Email.

finegirlna:
pls Austine2020 I pmd u

Sorry Pls i dont know how to open the PM,Unless u can teach me.

MamaP003:
Please what questions was she asked and was she given the visa?

She was asked why she said that she will stay 2weeks and stayed 2months, also what was she doing in the US for 2months leaving her job & Family.And if she gave birth in the US. She answered that she didnt give birth in the US and she was enjoying her Holiday travelling from one city to another since they stamped her in for 6months,also that she has used the visa for vacation again & stayed 3weeks. But she was denied. And i was so angry,but she reapplied and another VO gave her the VISA back and told her that its not offence to stay for 2months in the US since she was stamped in for 6months,but they wanted to know what she was doing in the US for that Long.

In your own case, if you had told the VO that u notified the Embassy via Email of your intention to use the visa for Childbirth,with the print out of the Email evidence to show for it,that could have made a very big difference. because thats where the VO anger comes from & thats why u were called for the interview in the first place to know why u were given a visa for vacation but u never used it for vacation rather u used it for childbirth. Just reapply,another VO will give u back your visa and might not see anything wrong in your case.The VO's are different in everything,.so reapply u will be fine.its normal.

chibertha:
I believe the loop hole is you not mentioning change of intent. Reapply and this time try to drop it in at the interview.

yes,change of intent letter would have made a difference if she had mentioned it to the VO.because she is not the first person to get their visa for vacation but used it for only childbirth. Infact a lot of people has done the same and renew their visas through Dropbox successfully without being called for interview. I have seen here someone that was refused renewal because the VO thought the bill she paid for her Child delivery is too small,while some mothers that used thesame hospital with the same bill still renew Visa through Drop box without being called for interview.So she just have to reapply and she will fine, Goodluck to her.
