When filling the Dropbox what do I put here , as am really scared ... things like this just discourage one from ever wanting to do things with family at times

i understand your troubles however your answer is YES, the details of your dad is automatically alongside your own
all you need to do is come clean with the VO, this is never your fault,you can't control him he's an adult and made his own decision

kuljiyke:

Hey fam
Weldone to everyone for the great works here.
A quick one pls, I have filled the DS160 forms and have scheduled appointment for me & DW. Just realised I made an error on DW’s DS160. I have filled a new one but I’m having difficulty updating her DS160 on the appointment portal. The ‘update profile’ tab on the portal only allows me to update my own DS160 no. Kindly assist on how to update dependant’s DS160 no.
Thanks

continue trying

@Franca04,fill out ds160 form(you can goggle u. S visa application),please do it yourself,thereafter submit then you can go to any GT bank branch with your international passport and make payment for b1/b2 visa category if any challenge please come back with any questions

teamgreat:
Thank you so much.
Please,a hospital in St Louis approved my daughter for a free child care (free medicals) for 2018,we are to pay for flight and also use the hospital's hospitality accommodation at a lower cost. The hospital agreed to treat her anytime she gets to USA as we were not able to meet up last year. We have our letter of invitation from the hospital and all cost they will cover is stated there. Please,hope we won't have much problems with getting visa approval. Already getting scared with all that I'm reading.

a major oil firm(their medical dept) got same thing for someone I know cos the son has some health issues.so it's possible

Choi! Story plenty die! i swear because, my childhood was full of memories. As child; i grew in the east. Ekwulobia in Anambra 2 be precise. My father use to be a truck driver back then. Enrouting frm south to north transporting stuffs. One of the worst beating of my life came a certain weekend that my dad came back with his truck lorry(911) frm his trip. I had earlier boasted to my frnds that i can drive my popsys truck. To prove it, when my fada left that very evening to go&see his frnd, i gathered my frnds,went inside my dad's room&got d keys. I proceeded like a boss,opened the truck door&sat on the driver's side. My idiotic frnds were then hailing me because they cud not blv i cud even open d door to the truck& to make matter worst; my mom&siblings were at the backyard so they didn't know what was going on. Even at my age then, i already knw how to switch on the engine so i pushed in the 1st key&turned the second ignition key. The lorry came to life&all my frnds went gaga. I kept on powering the pedals to show off. I cud ve just stopped there but the devil in me kept pushing me to go ahead and complete what i started. My brodas&sistas na so i use my little hands&power; having seen my popsy do that alot of times. I matched the clutch,pushed the gear to the front,commot leg for clutch&pedalled down. Na so the truck climbed the veranda&parked itself inside my paale room...what my papa do me that dey-i cannot finish telling it the whole of today.

u end, wetin mak u no stop for ignition? Had similar experience with my uncle grand Cherokee jeep, I hear am dat day

That year in JS3 for my school wey be strict Catholic mission school. Awon boys arrange erotic nudes pictures for one Java phone like that carry come class. That time wey those small small Java phone be king na, we come position for one corner during break time the mulae the pics, we no know say one holy holy pass amebo wey still follow us for we clique don go report give "father" wey wicked scatter. The yeye "father" wey no marry, wey dey carry out his sexual frustration on we students. The idiot caught us red-handed for corner come pull our shirts use am tie our hand against eachother, we come dey march from that spot to our staff room like convicted criminals. Of course! Cause as far as the ijiot father is concerned we were on death row.

The disgrace and pain we got from that episode is better left for imagination. That incident caused me to see my dad cry, that was the first time. He vowed to end my life. He gave me all kinds of wound added to the one the useless father and his people gave to me in school. For one week he disowned me because I run comot for house when it was obvious he wanted to end my life. Palae brandished his sharp cutlass and it took the saving grace of our Lord Jesus, my mama fainted out of fear, na one uncle for we yard after receiving some cuts himself as they were dragging the cutlass na I see road escape o.

No! I dont like my father. Left for him I would have died tey-tey.

Ntorr! To him life dey for God hand. I forgive him sha though I will never forget

what an experience especially with your dad's reaction. That was way out of line.no matter the situation we shouldn't raise cutlass against our own children.am happy you have forgiven him

What exactly was this visa issued for? One thing is certain here, dare write them that ”yeye” letter and your visa is cancelled. Way forward since you have the resources to birth in the US is to jejely just rebook another appointment to go inform them of the birthing plan, which I doubt you will agree to do.

From what I deduce she “suddenly” realised she’s 6 months gone about a month ago, that’s a month after her visa interview, which puts her at 7 months now. You don’t even have the luxury of time to quickly use the visa for the purpose it was issued. CBP will almost die with you to allow you in for birthing, but renewal of that visa if you go ahead just like that to birth with it is almost impossible.

The only gamble you can even dare take now is to go birth in an hospital that won’t give discount and the birthing bill should be $20-30k, you may then magically have a chance with both the CBP and the adjudicating officer during renewal if at all! You see?

The other less acceptable but best option is to just birth here in naija if possible to avoid all these wahala

have told him to give birth in 9ja and avoid unnecessary wahala even though he has enough cash .b1/b2

ifyalways:

See BS story.

The wife didn't know she was 5 months plus pregnant when she went for visa interview?

This is exactly one of tbe reasons Nigerians find it difficult getting visas ; lies and misrepresentation. She might think shes smart but she should hold her breathe, POE awaits her.

it was 6 weeks then and not 6 months according to him its 11 weeks now

goodmorning house,i have a situation with a colleague at work, they were granted visa (b1/b2) in late January, now wifey realised she is 6 weeks pregnant in mid-february after visa was out, she intend to put to bed in the u.s.
My advise to them;
1.write embassy and inform them that wifey is pregnant and they intend to put to bed since there is enough fund available.

Please gurus in the house, i will appreciate further advise to assist my friend.

VO: why did you travel late on your last visa, you were suppose to put to bed in the U.s,why didnt you?
Me: we travelled late because hubby is very busy, he currently manage a major gas project in the NigerDelta for xyz oil and gas firm. i didnt put to bed in the U.s again because, we have a family physician (my hubby's brother)in the U.k hence opted for it. he has been there practicing for 11 years

salsera:


No need to attach any document. Like I said just fill the form and book appointment.
If ds160,has issues then just try later. Probably a tech glitch

Many thanks will continue to try for ds 160, any advise on making renewal before expiration of current visa?

salsera:
Dropbox is the same process as fresh application.
Fill ds 160 form then book your interview appointment process, when you're booking your interview appointment the system will ask questions that you click your 6&6 to see if you qualify for dropbox. You can then choose to do dropbox or not.

many thanks,from what have read both on their site and nairaland here, i think am qualify, however documents to attach aside international passport?DS 180 form isnt opening completely,is anyone experiencing these in the house?

@ seyewest and OTHER GURUs in the house, please i need step by step update or web link to do drop box including which form to fill, i also want to enquire if its possible to do drop box before expiration of current visa, the current visa expires in 1 days time

to the GURUs in the house, please i need step by step update or web link to do drop box including which form to fill, i also want to enquire if its possible to do drop box before expiration of current visa, the current visa expires in 1 days time
