LadyGuinivere:
Issit for expedited date? The person just posted na. She offered zpeariz to pm her

Not expedited cos We used expedited for the last interview and lobus said we can't use it anymore but to get closer date or I let go and do vacation for the whole family come feb if crazy dollar don come down.
I can do expedited cos I did the last one myself. Pls what's your take

LadyGuinivere:
@Cheldas. Sorry for the waste of time and money and stress.
However I agree with the previous poster, accont name is not the ish. The account balance however is. IMO your wife did not handle that part well.
Give me your statement means 'Show me you can afford this venture'
She should not wait to be asked to show Mr Cheldas the sponsor's account. Rather she should have said: My husband is the Sponsor and these are our statements.
He looked at the account and saw insufficent money. To the best of his knowledge that's all the money at your wife's disposal.never forget, the burden is on you not the VO.
So if you want to change the account name, fine and good but let her correct the lapse.
God's grace

Mama O,
Thanks jare, my spirit was downcast until I read post from U, lobus,gurlnext2u and toknow. Should apply with her or she should face the music herself. Rmbr, I told you an agent misrepresented for me in the past in 2010. Thanks always madam G-unit. Kikikikikikikikikikikiikiii

Zpearlz1:
Thanks lobus & ladyG..I have searched but cant find it on the thread. Please if anyone has the contact, please send to me. I am just here confused, crying and wondering why things are turning out this way.

Pls if you make through kindly get in touch with me cos I'm desperately in need of a closer date asap. Pls PM me asap cos I'm counting on you and others to PM me. God grace shall see us thru.
Thanks in anticipation

damsell:
I rmbr dat post too @zpearl1 but unfortunately can't remember the page number but I know it's in this part 4 and maybe around the 90th-200th page. Too bad I can't be of more

I've read thru but to no avail,
Pls help. Thanks

MzYemie:
I've sent u a PM. I'd email u the guys details(dunno why the post was removed as I didn't put any details), I didn't want wahala which is why I didn't respond earlier, I hope he'd be able to help as he has done for my family in the past. Sorry dear

@MzYemie, pls I need the person's contact asap. Pls pm as I'm sending you PM right now.
Thanks

lobus:
No, you cannot get another expedited interview. Your option might be to follow the path of those trying to contact someone for a closer date. I would suggest you apply with your wife.

The idea is that you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt to the VO. Try not to leave room for doubt by covering any supposed loophole (acct name shld match with name on passport....etc). Try to think of loopholes in your application and haven successfully blocked them, pray to God to see you through.

Thanks so much. Pls how do I get the contact of the person who get closer date for people so I can get closer one for me and my wife cos this morning she is going to the bank to change her account name

Good mamas in the building, my wife was at the embassy yesterday
Vo: gd am ma
Wifeey: gd am sir
Vo: why are you goin to the us
Wifeey: for childbirth
Vo: what does your hubby do
Wifeey: bla bla bla
Vo: what do you do
Wifeey: bla bla bla
Vo: have you travelled before
Wifeey: no sir
Vo: has your hubby travelled before
Wifeey: yes sir
Vo: to where
Wifeey: so so and so
Vo: does he have usa visa
Wifeey: no
Vo: can I have your own bank statement
Wifeey: here is it sir
Vo: is this your account
Wifeey: yes sir
Vo: I'm sorry you are not qualified, handed blue paper

Let me explain her account details here pls, she bears my name on passport as mrs abc but she has not changed her acc name cos she still bears miss xyz and this xyz name she have with her old passport of this name. Also, her own account has slim amount of money while mine has the larger sum (times 6 of her account bal.) cos I'm the on sponsoring the trip but the VO does not request for mine.
@ all gurus here what do you think she should do at this point cos I'm think she should reapply or we both apply together cos we don't have time again cos she will be due by late oct. We got expedited app for this, can we still get one again and should I apply with her or let her go alone?

Whatever you guys suggest is final

Thanks for your contribution so far.
@ O'cheldas

Good morning dears,
I decided I will not post until I have something positive and today God did it the way only Him knows how. After my denial in July, I reapplied with hubby this time and requested for emergency appointment. Went for the interview today and below is the Transcript:

VO: Good morning
US: Good morning
VO: What are you going to do in US?
me: To have our baby
VO: Oh! good. congratulations
US: Thank you
VO: Is this is your first child?
ME: No, our third
VO: Have you travelled before?
ME: Yes, to the UK and Dubai, in 2014. We went with our children
VO: Nodded and looked through the passports, then asks ''what do you both do for work?
ME: I am a supervisor in ........financial institution and have been there for the past 8 years
Hubby: Quality control engineer in ..........dealers in .......... and went on to describe his duties (He sha wanted the VO to be the one to say its okay and he did)
VO: Whats your budget for the trip?
Me: USD13,153.00
vo:Which medical facility will you be using?
Me: Oak Bend Medical Centre
VO: Have a doctor?
Me: Yes, gave him name of Doctor and correspondence.

After checking through the documents, he returned them and at this point he then settled down to look through our passports, mine in particular. You remember I mentioned here that the first VO that denied me perused my passport same way too. Now the truth is that there was actually a stamp I had an agent put on my passport earlier in the year. I didn't know better then. After that denial, and reading the answers from some of you on this thread, I knew it had something to do with those stamps. And so today, the VO showed me the stamp and told they were fake and asked me whether I knew about it, I said yes and told him how I got them on my passports. He was I didnt need to do that and that it will put question mark on my integrity. I told him it was a huge mistake and of course will never do such a thing.

long and short, he approved our Visas with a strict warning on having an agent put stamp on passports. My people if anyone ever tries to convince you there is no God or that He doesnt answer prayers, hmmm.....I pity such a person. Never heard that a VO will see a fake stamp and still approves Visa. Today God showed me how ''the heart of kings are in His Hands''. You may know someone who is as ignorant as I was and considering using an agent, please tell them its the worst decision ever.

Finally, Thank you LadyG, Firsttymum and a host of others here. You guided me well on how to answer well. God Bless.

Congrats

I applied for expedited interview ... I told them my doctor advised me to travel at most 30 weeks because of my health conditions as well . And they replied me that same day and gave me appointment for 5 days later . Try ur luck
quote author=Tmmum post=45949653]Egba mi oooooooo

I went for my interview yesterday in abj but was turned back cos I made an error on my appointment form...I still can't explain how I filled my visa payment receipt number instead of my ds 160 number. I was told to wait for two days for my visa receipt to be revalidated before I can reschedule another appointment .although my receipt is yet to be revalidated but I can see that the next available date is July 12 in abj and June 27 in Lag. I am considering using the expedite option to book an appointment as I am currently 29weeks gone.
Pls does anyone have any info on expedite option for the purpose of childbirth? Pls help a jjc

Pls when filling your expedited appointment, what did you provide as *Evidence of how you will pay for the cost of the treatment.*
Budget sheet or acc statement?
Thanks

lobus:
1. Book your normal appointment regardless of the date.

2. Click on Emmergency request

3. Select the ground for Emmergency request (Medical etc)

4. You would be provided a column to explain your reason for the request and attach documents to support your claim.

Regards

On the evidence of payment, does that mean statement of account or budget sheet? Pls need clarification because statement of account would be many to scan.
Thanks

HillyMa:
Dear house,
I got into Dallas yesterday through Dubai on Emirates. The trip was long but thankfully I had 2 extra sits next to me so I was able to stretch and sleep with my legs elevated so no swelling. I used a wheel chair in Dubai and Dallas.
Dallas POE was Ok, I was asked why I was here I answered childbirth, the CBP asked for documentations and how much I had I gave him and said $8130 in cash and naira debit card funded, sent me in for secondary inspection. I waited for what seemed like 30mins before a female CBP called my name and asked how long I was here for and how much I had and I told her 3 months and $8,130 in cash she didn't ask to count it. She then stamped me for 6 months and said to make sure I get zero balance and sent me to agric, the wheel chair guy got my luggage and we headed to agric, got there my indomie onion was seized by this immigration whitie that knew all about Nigerian foods our ugu okazi egusi lol he just kept mentioning and asking if I had then he scanned my bag and took out the noodles only and I got wheeled out after that.
Grateful for all the information I got here.

Congrats & stress free delivery

CBP: you declare you have food items; what are they?
Me: yam flour, cassava flour etc
CBP: Any specialist doc you are seeing
Me: yea, have an appointment with a doc on Tuesday. .showed him the appointment letter
CBP: excuse me, I will be back in few mins

Pls how else can I get his/her contact. Pls anyone here should pm me his/her e-mail.
Thanks in anticipation.

gold638:
I'm sure the details for this hospital and doc is over flogged on this thread. However, You'd need to contact Dr. M's secretary. She'd send you details of both the doc and hospital fees. I didn't have to call the hospital directly. Hospital and doctor might be cheap but it's very important you consider accommodation cost as that can be pricey before you conclude on LA Waka. I'm still in search of that.

Thanks so much, this is the best for me sofar cos I have an uncle in ca who is willing to take care of anything that concerns me but mine is to secure the visa first cos he doesn't have time for any search.
So gotta do it myself.
Do you have the info?

@ Firstymum,

If you got the visa for child birth the first time, let Mumsy apply now. You need help with a toddler although I have seen some mamas come alone with toddlers.

Even me wey dey go with mumsy, I am wondering how we are going to cope with my hyperactive 2yr old. Already looking for creche around our apartment. Just that dollar is not smiling.

@ Ezigbozi,

That your journey was so long. Pele dearie.

@ Cheldas
Please note that the apartment was not 600dollars, I was just thinking of giving out a room for that price. Also, since your wife is yet to get a visa, I do not think it will be a good idea to get an apartment on airbnb yet because you need to pay immediately to reserve your booking. However, airbnb does not remit the funds to the host until arrival date or a closer date (not sure of exact date though).

Thanks so much ma

ijeomaobi1:
Thanks sabi mamas on the return policy for Wal-Mart.

@bisoye82,

Biko how do I know a superstore? Cos I want to change diaper bag(I Don prepare mine from naija come finer sef) to a portable baby bed

@cheldas,

LA is all about getting accommodation o. So arrange that one first. Very critical o.

@bait,

Since u haven't gotten d visa, what stops u from telling the VO u are pregnant? Pls include doctors correspondence and others. Do read up to check necessary ones

@ijeomaobi1, meaning apt is very expensive in LA? Does that mean I should just stick with my El Paso tinz? I'm just trying to cut cost because of this dollar wahala u no.
Pls advice, Thanks

feddy27:
Sorry about d late response, I dey sleep since

2700 is inclusive of hospital fee, anaesthesia and pediatrician.

1000 is the doctor's fee, does not include 1st visit + ultrasound.

Firsttymum, mornin dear! Hw re u enjoyin d rain?

Pls ma, I need info about this hosp for God sake cos I see this is cheaper compared to my former search. Thanks as I wait your reply.

@ladyG, @all,
Is it advisable to book an expedited when there is no date in august and my wife dues late oct/early nov..
Thanks in anticipation.

happytbaby:
My friend said they typically leave the airport around 9am when she flies Arik. I saved myself the stress and of worrying about the next flight and booked an hotel to chill and rest till next morning.

Meanwhile El Paso mamas that will be in town for the two months of September and October, I may be giving out a room in the apartment I got on airbnb for about 600dollars per month but I have to get there first (at aug end) and see how the place be. You may pm me if interested.

I am not so keen on sharing apartments though....so I guess my spirit has to flow with the person first plus other considerations.

Pls put me through how did you book one cos the least I saw was 48$/night and I need something of that range for my wife too. Pls give me your contact. Thanks

@ladyG, @all,
