Good afternoon , please i have 2 questions for an upcoming interview for an infant

1. I cant seem to locate the filled ds160, is there a way i can redownload it now that the site has been changed.
2. Is there any specific process for infant visa as i already have my visa (Do i need to attach it or take my passport) and is there anything different i should expect or itll be a regular interview


Many thanks

Good morning, i applied for us visa for my child early this month but i cancelled the appoinment because i used IW and its not supposed to be so, i am trying to redo the appointment but it keeps asking me to pay for fresh visa fees, then when i try to reschedule the initial cancelled IW appointment every time i click post appointment it says slot already filled (Even after the date shows available)

i have sent multiple messages via the support ticket but none have been responded to

please assist

Please has any one received invite for Commercial coordinator ?

Jammie101:
Has anyone been contacted since the deadline? My status is still Application Received.

I applied for a role as well , also awaiting feedback. status remains Applications received as at now.

Hopeful they will contact applicants soon

Alabamah:
Please when is next available date for B1/b2

i just checked November 2025

Good afternoon House, Please i have an inquiry. I currently hold a us visa and will like to apply for my infant who is 1 year old. i clicked on schedule appointment as she qualifies for an interview waiver but the questions for inteview waiver are that of renewal,

am i supposed to fill all of them as if we want to do a renewal because infants meet the qualifications for interview waiver but the questions are like is your visa expiring within 3 months or within the past 48 months etc and this is my child's first passport and application.

do i just go ahead and fill everything like im doing a renewal? if i go the normal route id have to schedule for Nov 2025 for an interview which i believe is not needed for an infant especially as i have a valid US Visa as well.

Please advise

Good afternoon All,

please whats the procedure to apply for us visa for an infant (Mother already has her visa)
Reason for trip: Vacation

is it the same normal procedure for kids or is there an exception since its a baby and will the baby need to do physical interview?

NothingDoMe:
I had about 5 of that. Guess it's passing through offices and checks. I checked daily. lol.

Oh wow !! Fingers crossed!! Thanks for the feedback

Eriokanmi:
They're working on your application. At times, it could also mean an officer only looked at your casefile and left without doing anything on it. Mine was updated about 8 times as I was checking regularly before it was finally approved.

Thanks for the feedback

Good afternoon All,

Please i am back again.

i submitted my passport for IW process at DHL surulere last week Monday 17th April
I tracked the status online the next day and saw that the case was created on 18th April , i have just checked again and i see case updated 25th April (Still shows Application received) what does it mean when they update the case.

babestell:
I travel at 35 weeks. Never had an issue with Delta or Air France. But it depends on your body.

Pls check pg 410, i dropped my own bill breakdown from Memorial hermann there. My own advice is that you hold plenty money. they have many hidden charges that the folks at the front desk don't know about

Thanks for your prompt feedback. will check right away

Eriokanmi:
Isolo is 3 straight weeks, going by my experience, my cousin's and others who had submitted documents to them between January and March. Last December, I learnt it took between a week and 2 to have passports back. The timeline could take a different turn tomorrow sha

I pray it does!! Cz I need it out asap. It is well

YoungMetrosG:
Doesn’t look like there’s a definite timeline. I submitted on the 23rd of March at Surulere DHL and the place was empty that day too. Tracking still shows “Application received” 4 weeks later

Oh wow that long it is well

Good evening,

Please who has timeline for IW submission via surulere Lagos Dhl office. Went this Monday 17th April and I was so surprised how Empty it was. We were barely 5 people there for 8am submission. Does this mean the application will be faster since limited no of applicants?

Pwinkle1:
Latest time to travel depends on the airline you are flying with, and I guess also depends on how strong you feel - confirm with the airline what their policy is. I travelled at 35weeks+6days on a 10hr flight 😩

Thanks alot will call the available airlines and find out 😥 this IW feedback after passport submission been taking long lately. It is well

Good morning , Happy Eid Al Fitr!!

Please who has the current bill for Memorial Hermann Houston TX and their direct contact email. DR LA has now moved from WHMC to Memorial Hermann though his office has sent the proposed bill for Memorial Hermann but i want to try and re-confirm cz i have been hearing they have increased prices.

Also what's the latest time an expectant mother can fly international (is 34-36 weeks too late?)

Good morning All,

please i have a quick question.

I am eligible for drop box interview which i applied for 25th March 2023 and got a date for 17th April 2023.

is there a way that i can reschedule to try and get an earlier date . is it possible?if so how?

Good day house, please does any one know if it’s possible to get passport without the notarized document as there is no appointment date for lagos/Abuja office in October and only available date is november 30th and return flight is already scheduled for 11th.

Is there also a way one can apply you passport without SSN? No passport appointment available in November in Houston . Only date available is Oct 29th as at today

Please assist

Debbieeeeeee:
$3600 and $5k is their old price o. They increased price like 2017/2018. A lot of people on this thread used to use whmc until their price increment to like 2.5/3x

Price as at today is $3,600 for vaginal (2days hospital stay) and $5,000 for CS (3 days hospital stay). I literally just got off the phone with WHMC to reconfirm . I think you have to state that it’s self pay (cash) and they’ll advise you accordingly .

Debbieeeeeee:
They quoted me $6k for CS , WHMC is like $10k , Methodist $10k . I didn’t even check oakbend because my friends that used there gave me bad reviews.

Hi @debieeeeeee , WHMC (west Houston medical Centre on Richmond avenue right ?) is actually $3,600 for vaginal delivery & $5,000 for CS. Got their rates last month from my Dr

Good morning All,

Please Has anyone done a cerclage at 24weeks and was it successful!

Cervical length measured 2.35cm at 24weeks scan and bed rest with cyclogest insert has been offered by hospital at the moment.

Ps no bleeding , no cramps or Back aches at the moment

Please advise is greatly appreciated

First Timer, just thought to share my experience as I am very distraught ATM . I lost my first baby last Saturday 1st Feb at 21 weeks.

It started out like any other day the Thursday before . I went to the office , bought a few food stuff on my way home n then went home cooked , served my husband and then we got intimate .

Few hours later I had re occurring cramps (I have growing fibroids which isn't in the uretus) I assumed that was what caused the cramps but if was persistent from midnight to 6am my husband insisted we went to the hospital which we did and I found out I was contracting .

The Gynae gave me some injections n placed me on drip and the contractions continued and eventually stopped. On Friday morning I noticed I was bleeding non stop I asked for the gynaecologist and was told he doesn't work on weekends that he has travelled to visit his family (I was surprised Cz I was his patient and it was an emergency so expected him to atleast stay Friday to monitor me ) .

In the afternoon on Friday , I noticed my gestational sac hanging out of my vagina (that is the sac that holds the amniotic fluid and baby ) I was screaming in tears n shock . I was supposed to have my baby in the us so I called my Us doctor who insisted they carry out an emergency cerclage (stitching of the cervix) but the gynae was unavailable .

I asked to be transferred to another hospital n they said their ambulance was at their ikeja office , wow I was dumb founded Cz I couldn't stand n needed to be in laying position due to the sac sticking out. After some time the sac went back in . I kept on praying n crying as this was our first child.

I asked if they had incubator just incase the baby comes out they said no.

After much back n forth he sent a replacement gynae from their ikeja branch (I was in ikoyi branch ) who arrived at 8pm who advised that nothing could be done but observe and pray and he left back to ikeja branch instead of staying with me as I was an emergency patient.

I bled all night , my baby was a fighter his heart beat was still on functioning well all through the distress (every time I did scan in the past , drs always commented of how active my son was)

On Saturday morning I woke up to pee and felt like a balloon burst from inside me my water broke. Immediately called the nurses who checked the heart beat n the baby's heart rate was still perfect.

I went to the delivery room , my son head popped out he was still moving as he came out inside the sac after 5 mins he passed. Then the torture began . They general practitioner n nurses spent 2-3 hrs trying to remove the placenta , used all sort to expand my uterus - forcep, hands , clamps I was in excruciating pain . All this while the gynae n replacement gynae were not available .

They finally got the placenta out n I had to be treated with lots of antibiotics as I was feverish n having short breaths so they gave me that incase of any infection .

Been crying all through , the gynae finally graced us with his presence on Monday night imagine the loss was on sat(no calls or nothing the whole weekend) .

My husband and I asked him for reason for the pre term labour he couldn't give us a specific reason . Just said stress , sex we had a night before or anything .

Let me just stop here ,I am recovering and I pray no one ever experience such treatment as I feel like this could have been controlled and the loss was due to negligence .
