Hi hi

sugah:

Are you in Lagos?

You know dear, you really didn't have to go all defensive. She was asking why a change of intent letter was now frowned upon and somewhat discouraged ( something along those lines). All you said in reply to her was that she should tell the truth when applying (that already kinda implied that she didn't tell the truth, it didn't really answer her question). No one is/was encouraging not being truthful if applying while pregnant.... I was only viewing the change of intent letter from a broader perspective.
Anyway, that's about that. My post wasn't to diss you in any way.

When i say speak the truth, i didnt say she was lieing...I only meant if u are pregnant and you are applying, declare ur pregnancy. It will save u lots of stress in the future. Do NOT infer what i did not say from what I said,PLEASE.
I also got my visa for vacation but couldnt travel at the time of my travel cos i battled severe morning sickness and I went on to send the change of intent letter and travelled to have my baby. I have also just renewed my visa last week via dropbox without being called for any interview.
Even though i used a visa i got for the purpose of vacation to birth, I still SPOKE the TRUTH while applying.

She MAY not have lied when applying. She may have genuinely had travel plans before something came up. I mean, don't we sometimes make concrete plans to do stuff and then something else happens? I don't think it's fair to just assume that EVERYONE lied when applying for a visa. Eg. A person plans to travel then gets news of the death of someone or something that totally ruins the travel plans and probably has serious cost implications ( we do know that travelling these days ain't cheap anymore). Then say after like 4 months the person gets a positive pregnancy test and toys with the idea of having the baby abroad. 4 months plus say 6 months gives some time to save up for the birth trip...
That's just a possible scenario. Doesn't mean the person lied when applying. Or is the person supposed to forsee a pregnancy 6 months ahead, apply for B2 when there's no pregnancy, have correspondence with doctors and hospitals with an empty belly?
In all, there are different circumstances in life. Let's not be so quick to call a person a liar.
My humble thoughts.

Well, thats why its good to always tell the truth when applying.

On the serious note, I think rather than respond to every post that irks us, we should just ignore. There's no point insulting each other or making statements solely to provoke someone. This page is for COST and PROCEDURE for birthing in the US. So let's add value with experiences at Visa interview, POE, Hospitals, etc. Let's 'Adult -up'
My 2 cents.
Thank you.

This part 5 sha. So much exchange of words. I think it should be tagged ' the Battle of the keyboards' ...winter is coming

You are right. I just read through
again. This is serious. There goes my dream of going with Emirates...

Shawbabe:


No. She's right. You're looking at flights less than or equal to 8 hours.
You should be looking at flights more than 8 hrs becoz Dubai to and city in the US is at least 8 hours. You might be fine from naija to Dubai leg

It's 36 weeks for single pregnancies ( only one baby in the belly) and 32 weeks for multiple pregnancies (2 or more babies in the belly)

idonhear:
I used to think Emirate allows up to 36 weeks of pregnancy for all flight routes, but was shocked to see on their website that it is 32 weeks for flights more than 8 hours.
