Apologies for your denial. It can be very painful knowing u posses and qualify for the visa in all ramification. But what I feel the VO misunderstood is that the $2300 was for the entire medical expenses (doctor, tests and scan, hospital) which in my little experience here, is low for the entire expense. That was what raised his curiosity and maybe coupled with a bad day for him. Omodadi2: Good afternoon ppl. I havve come to really rant here this afternoon as I personally feel that some cases of visa denial including mine are extreme wickedness. What exactly is the criteria to qualify for a US visa or renewal?
I got a B1/B2 visa purposely for birth which I used last year, paid my bills and came back. Went with my mum and my husband came to join us, he was there for 6weeks while we spent 11weeks.
Planned a vacation for December, discovered I was pregnant so cancelled vacation to accomodate childbirth for next year and we opted for dropbox due to our location but his visa was renewed while I was invited for follow up. And interview went thus today- Abuja
VO: Your passport please Gave her passport VO: where are you going to Houston Texas Are you going with your child Yes Does she have a visa already She was born in the US and eligible to travel with her US visa, I gave birth to her in Houston last year. VO: Can I have your medical receipts Gave her all receipts and zero balance statements. VO: Can u explain why you paid 2300usd for your medical services? 2300 ws the hospitals price for selfpay patient who are not eligible for insurrance and have to pay 1month ahead EDD. VO: Read through the itemized bill and asked sme question again dding the fact that the main cost is around 23000usd. I explained myself again. And added thefct that i made other payments for tests, doctor, baby, epodural etc to make a tota bill of about 7,000usd, all receipts in her hands, but she dint check at all. VO:started typingandasked me where i work and how much I earn monthly I work with a ....and earn 900,000 naira ( i am intentionally adding this here so u all can see more to my rant) monthly after all deductions. VO: So you want to use 2300 to pay for health care when you earn 900,000 naira monthly? ( I was confused here cos we were only talking about what I have paid bt had to answer her) Well, no amount of money is too much for good health if one can afford it and moreso we would also be giving that child the dual citizenship opportunity. Vo continues to type, i had to say that I am also going again for childbirth thinking that she was granting me visa. She said she knows, we would discuss that. After few seconds, then she looked up and said you arnt eligible this time and gave me the white paper.
I would like our LagosNiv and others to comment on this case. I personally feel Iam eligilbe but wnt to know what exactly went wrong.
Applying again? may have to do this but its really a hard thing for me and my reason for ranting and infact confused. I reside in far north where to get flight to Abuja when you have ur money sef is wahala, i need to take at least 3days leave from office again to attend interview, lodge in a hotel, etc.
I just want to know if we have to opt for the insurance residents payment to be able to renew our visas.

Please I want to find out if: 1. You declared at Interview that you knew someone in the US or would be staying with someone. 2. If your excess cash of 10k was declared prior to boarding. brooklyn20: So I came in through Houston Poe on 23rd november (exactly a week ago) .i've been lazy to type my Poe experience.
Got my visit visa last year and used it for vacation both I hubby and toddler.got pregnant this year and decided to give birth with it.wrote the embassy and also got correspondence from hnwmc,Dr xydas. Ever since we decided to go give birth in the us ,I've been praying about my journey to the us ,my stay , delivery etc and everything has been smooth so far and it will till the end by God's grace.
hubbys friend helped us to get accommodation with an American woman (May God bless her ,she's nice and sweet ,her kids are lovely too). And the accommodation came with transportation and feeding. She even said there's a spare Car for me to drive if I wanted to( fear no go fit let me drive for america) .
Back to the Poe story.
I and my toddler came in with Qatar airline.sent my medif form and cert. like 7days to travelled date. Hubby was at the airport some days later and went to ask if it was approved and they said it was ( travelled at 33 weeks 4days) . Also went with fit to fly from my doctor also did medical examination at d airport. Journey was smooth ,got to Doha and got airport accommodation , had my bath and had a good sleep.
From Doha to us was not bad too. I had a roll to my Self so I was able to sleep and stretch my legs. The air hostess kept asking if I was okay and needed anything. Also bringing chocolate ,sweet and snacks for my son .i applied to use a wheel chair but didn't eventually use it ,
At Houston there was a long que , I joined the que ,when it was almost my turn my son started shouting that he wanted to pee. I was allowed to take him to the toilet then come straight to the front.
Me: Good afternoon Cbp: what are u here for? Me: to have my baby Cbp:How long will you be staying Me: ***** Cbp:How much do you have on you Me: ****** (more than $10k) Cbp: I'll have to send you to secondary inspection cos I can't count your money here) . Me: ok
He called some to come take me there. I waited for a while ,then I was called
Cbp: how much did u come in with Me:****? Let me see,she didn't count it Cbp: what's the name of d hospital u are using? Me: told her Cbp:How did u get the cash Me:Told her some from pta and d rest from beaut De change Cbp: where will u be staying Me : told her my host name and her address (she typed it on the system) and asked how much I'm paying her. Cbp: do you have a credit card on you.me: yes Cbp: make sure u pay all your bills and get the receipt and always take it along when travelling or else your visa will be cancelled . Then she stood up and said follow me. She took me to an escalator and asked me to go down to Agric. Went there and my bags were brought to me , it was scanned and my chicken nooddles was seized but every other food made it ,came in with all kinds of naija food. Waiting for my first appointment tomorrow.

Thanks dear Vlesparza:
It may help to have proof of acceptance from a doctor if you are asked for it during your interview. Some are asked for documentation and some are rejected without being asked for any documentation. |

Thanks a bunch dere5:
Most Dr & hospitals that collect this will not even send you correspondence if you don't pay it. It is what assures them that you are not wasting their time, since it will most likely be deducted from your total bill at the end of the day. With regards to the 'genuinenty ' issue you raised. It all depends on the particular Vo and how he sees it. People have paid bills of $12k upfront and still didn't get visa,so it can be an advantage and at the same time not mean Jack. |

Hello family, please is there any advantage paying the $150 (or thereabout) hospital registration fee alongside correspondence with your doctor before going for the interview? At least to show some form of genuinety. Thanks |

Please can u shed more light on this J1 visa. Thanks BlowJobs:
the bolded, Yes, you must go through the designated agency. That is why i said J1 visa is the easiest. Once you get the documents from the agency, your Visa na 90% confirm. so for J1 visa, you will need to go through Dept of State designated agencies
All my J1 interview, Vo just ask for my DS form and Sevis plus insurance and told me to pick up my visa while handling me the white paper.
It was like i went there to do finger print.
My first J1 visa interview was the longest and it took approximately 30secs to 1min, 30secs.
PS: i didn't apply in Nigeria, maybe that was a factor too (it was definitely a factor in getting direct contact with one of the DOS agency) 1 Like 1 Share |

Thanks so much. Your advise has been well taken. May God guide us all. Cheers AroOkigbo:
Get a price estimate from the US hospital where you intend your DW to birth and get an appointment- note that for most hospitals, doctor's and other fees (circumcision, epidural, anesthetics) are charged separately. Ensure you have proof of fund for the expenses- pay slip and bank statement You may book a hotel online (invite from your US green card holder is not an assurance- it can only take care of accommodation expense) Let your DW fill the DS-160 form- apply for B2. Apply for the B1/B2 class (it's good you stand by her on the interview and delivery dates) Pay and secure appointment. The earlier you start, the better- earliest appointment date now is thereabout Jan 19, 2018. On the appointment date, answer all questions as sincerely as possible- those VO's are trained to spot lies and lies lead to blue paper Follow it up with prayer. ..Good luck.

Thanks so much. I'm grateful for the response Dwebb55:
I would say the invitation letter is quite okay if you can prove relationship. But you can also apply on your own but note that applying on your own will increase your cost and hence budget as you'll have to factor in feeding and accommodation |

im still expectiing your responses and advice. thanks captain90210: Hello NL members Great job you guys are doing here. I'm a silent reader here and believe me I've learnt a whole lot from the few days I've spent here. I've practically imagined likeable questions from VO and CBP at Poe. But I know God's grace will always abound.
Now my situation is this: 1. My intent is to have DW give birth in the us, 2. I've learnt here to make all intentions known both at the interview and Poe. 3. I have a friend who's got a green card in us, willing to send me and DW an invite for visitation (if that will get us the visa) and thereafter use the same visa for child birth purpose later next year. 4. Or I jejely make arrangements for visa interview without the invitation from my green card friend in the us.
Permit me if I haven't framed this scenario well (as a learner) but your sincere advise would be appreciated. Thanks |
