@princeadeade

Thank you for taking time out to analyse my earlier post, b4 replying u I went thru ur interview you posted in october and it was exactly a cabon copy of wat we went thru, our interviewer is the African-American lady b4 d VO who interviewed you.

Our VO typed "forever" and kept looking at the paper containing a schedule beside her and typed like her life depended on it!

We gave her the doctor's letter which contained acknowledgement of our deposit and all the letters from the hospital showing the breakdown of fees. She took her time to read all dis line by line as tho she was studying for an exam!

We did not, however, have a spreadsheet containing all expenses sha (dat I will do now! To include flight cost etc) she just guessed we cldnt afford, moreso wth my MIL also included in our application.

I'm thinking to convert abt $10k n deposit in my dom account and take along for the next interview together with a more detailed breakdown of expenses down to d minutest detail.

PrinceAdeAde:


hello bj2012golf,

Was also denied a while back with no clear reason like yours though.Did you have the hospital and docs fee breakdown as mailed to you to show as evidence that the said money is sufficient?
Also what was the basis for the VO concluding that you could not fund your trip, was it on the basis of the hospital bill of $8,645 plus other expenses such as flight cost versus your bank balance OR was it based on his/her assumption that birthing costs more that you budgeted, lets say an outrageous $20K and he/she believed that your bank statement could not fund it

Finally was your total budget very close to your bank balance as the VO also want to see you have a reasonable cushion after your travelling expenses

Hmm congratulations

Well my wife, MIL & were denied renewal of our B1/B2 visa on thursday, the VO's first and main grouse was dat the hospital bill of $8,645 was too low for birthing, second was dat we cldnt fund d expenses (we av saved N3.4m).

We av however applied again, dis time around without my MIL, interview date is dec. 2nd, wonder wat more we can do?

Comments welcomed

Thanks n God bless

Hmm Mr Inspired is now a big boy o, he started this thread way back in 2008, I remember vividly. That year he brought an invoice to my office himself, I'm very sure he is too "BIG" to do such a thing now, Lol!

Good to see Inspired is fully entrenched in the big boys circle

Big ups

@ Shayo.... It is always good to hold some few cash....they can not verify if you have money on your mastercard. The 1st time i went to have my 1st son i had about 8k, 2nd time i went for my 2nd son i had abt 5k....that saw me through...hence hold some cash esp when they see you are heavily preggy, they want to know you have means of sorting yourself out....

do you have where you are staying in dallas...gat someone that will do all ur hospital runs, shopping, running around generally and house you for an amount.. she is in Houston though....lemme know....glad to help

Hi

I agree with holding cash. My wife is doing Houston, Dr Z, oakbend in mid February, kindly forward the details of the person you mentioned

Thank you,

If u have a long stop over in istanbul, it's best you use a lounge. It's about €20 I think. There's free wifi,plenty food and desserts,comfortable seats and even a shower

Thank you, u r appreciated

I enjoyed turkish, I had a 1hr 20mins stopover that was most convenient but the flight to US was forever! Lolz, about 9hrs. The food was mostly vegetable but I was too hungry to complain. Lol! I did not have to change terminals, it's about 20mins walk from the landing terminal from Lagos. Hope I could help

Since you initiated this thread in 2011, numerous families have had their dream come true, hope you also got yours?

Thank you

Good day, my wife and I intend to give birth in the USA as we know that gives the child automatic citizenship.

However, we would require valid information on cost of hospital bill, procedure to register in the hospital. The best state, procedure to obtain the childs nigerian and US passport as we intend to come back within 2 weeks so the locations of both embassy. We already know the cost of visa and flight. We would be grateful if someone with a first hand or second hand experience can but us through with specification info and hospitals addresses, embassy addresses and cost value so we can plan ahead.

Thanks God bless you.

ocelot2006:


Please one question: how much does it cost to give birth in the US? 'thinking of doing same.

The cost depends on the State you intend to visit, the hospital, Doctor, form of delivery i.e varginal birth or CS. This could range from $3000 to $10,000.00 or more!

voltron:


Congratulations in advance.. it is well with you and your family

Thanks a lot

*just read through my post and discovered an error I didn't correct because I rephrased the first 2 lines, arrrgGgh!!!!!

my funny (not funny for the applicant though) experience was watching some dude from the east. answering one question.

1: You said you own a farm, what is the value in naira? JAMB question the dude kept going, it is a farm and i make plenty money on it. it is in millions of naira. it is bigger than this embassy sef. in my mind i was like, just give the guy a figure between N10-N15 million

I think the key to getting a US visa most times is your Financial Standing when filling out the application. my interview lasted 3 minutes and the interviewer told me my visa has been approved and to pick it up at this address in VI. I never had the chance to show him my carefully packed documents. strange. i thought it was a prank. i actually thought i had been denied until i got to DHL office to pick it up. my Wife was even heavily pregnant and the questions he asked were

1: have you been out of Nigeria as a family -YES
2: Do you plan to give birth in the US - YES
3: have you made arrangements -NO i plan to if i get the visa but I have made calls

scanned our finger prints and that was it.

CONGRATULATIONS!

My wife and I are scheduled for interview to renewal of our visas thursday next week, she's pregnant and we plan to have our baby in US. Yours is an indication that obtaining the US visa is grace n favour, not just by getting Doctor's letter of responsibility etc
