I don't know if i am on the right tread for this. My sister want to go into the importation and sales of sewing machines and accessories but, she does not have any information concerning the business as she feels it's going to be viable since, almost all ladies are into Fashion & design. Please, help a brother out if you in any way have information concerning this, no information is too little. Thanks as I await your comments.

deboydebo:
Please, all those who have used Drs Parati El paso I need you advice concerning accommodation that will be closest to the Hospital. Again, how do I book an internal flight from JFK to Houston from here, our flight is New York then to Houston but, we hav'nt booked the one to Houston. Can I also use the Form A to pay the hospital bills before making our journey?
Please, someone should help...

LadyGuinivere:
Interviews are based on appointments.
Don't assume you will be attended to as a walk in.
The nos for the embassy was just posted by me, on the us embassy site and also on paage 1 of this thread. The email is also contained on those pages

It all started first, My wife and i finally got PTA from fidelity bank PH and Lagos respectively @199.05, after Access Bank stop selling the same day firstymum recommended, thanks.

Wify left Lagos on wednesday via KLM(Lagos-Amsterdam-Atlanta-Dallas). At MMI2, luggage search was not done (when they notice she was pregnant, she couldn't lift her luggage) the man said carry ur wahala they goo...lolz. Had excess luggage of extra 3kg but was waived. No fit to fly was asked. Also booked wheelchair with assistance, Don't want to hear any story. She only used wheelchair in Atlanta, almost missed her connecting flight to Dallas.

Got to Amsterdam, took 4hrs layover before heading to Atlanta. POE gist:

CBP: what are u here for?
Wify: Vacation and child birth (She shouted the child birth)
CBP: Why are u fidgeting?
Wify: I am not fidgeting, just tired and i also told the Embassy of my child birth
CBP: Nope.... from our system u did not inform the Embassy
Wify: brought out the change of intent letter to/from the embassy
CBP: What do u do?
Wify: I am a Doc
CBP: why do u want to give birth in the USA?
Wify: for expert mgt
CBP: Is dat not irony for expert mgt and u are a doc in Nigeria
Wify: anyways Dats my preference I smiled
CBP: Wow... that is lovely and how much do u have?
Wify: i have $7,500 (it was not counted)
CBP: make sure you pay ur bills and keep ur receipts

He was asking all theses questions after stamping me till April next year
No Agriculture and she went with all the recommended food stuff, small palm oil and noodles. Gods favor all through. Her luggage was not searched through out her journey.
Chilling in Dallas for some days before porting El paso.

Forgive my typos

Tanks for the Info......
Please help me out with the following;

was misdirected by a friend who gave birth in the us that i can use a visiting visa the b1/b2 to give birth in the us. After filling the ds160 form and
submitted (without mentioning medical) i bumped into the "usa visit visa" thread which i read from part 1 to 3 for the last 2 weeks and was referred here, my interview is in 2weeks time with hubby;

1) Can we mention vacation & child birth if we are asked purpose of travel? Since there is no child birth mentioned on the ds160 form b/c frm my experience on this thread it's always good to stick to wat's on d ds160 form during d interview.

2) If we stick to vacation, since it's wat we have on the ds160 form & are giving d visa. Can we write to d embassy on our change of plans to giving birth over there in the us with proof of payments b/4 making d trip, with enough cash @ d POE? can dis b possible? Can dis affect our renewal later?

3) If we mention Child birth, wat should be a minimum amount on our statement of account in case VO asked for it?

4) Do we need to make any payment to d hospital over there in the us, b/4 d interview?

5) How do i get a breakdown of expenses to cover d trip b4 d interview, in case Vo ask for it?

6) Is it possible to edit d already submitted form to include medical as reason of travel or if we fill out a new form, Can we still maintain the same interview date?

Please, house i really need your assistance on this.

Hello people, so I had my 3rd baby in NJ May 2014. Fast forward to October 2015, we(hubby and 1st two kids) all applied for visas via drop-box and we where called for an interview even though hubby and I used the previous visa for vacation April this year. Interview was on Monday this week;

VO- Hello
Us-Goodmorning
VO- Why do you intend visiting the US?
Me-Vacation
VO-Where do you intend staying?
Me-NJ
VO-Why NJ?
Me-That's where we stayed last time and we loved it
VO-Where do you work?
Me-Self-employed
VO-How much income do you make monthly?
Me-I answered
Looks to hubby and asked same-where he works, how much he earns, how long he has been working for his current company
VO- We actually assumed your kids where in the US all along because the last time they traveled was in 2013 and you traveled in 2014 alone while you also both traveled April 2015 without them so we just wanted to sight them and approve your visas. Your visas has been approved, pick up on Thursday.
I was surprised as I went with all my proof of payments thinking that is all they wanted to see. I was so confident that our visas would be approved via drop-box as we used it for vacation after childbirth. Thank God it ended in praise

LadyGuinivere:
^^^^^ @Deboydebo ist,there's a speciaal thread for birthing in the US. https://www.nairaland.com/2655925/give-birth-usa-cost-procedures/50 but I'll Try and answer your questions and set u on your research path. The thread has part 1 and 2.
U MUST read part 1. MUST!!!
The factor to consider in the path/procedure u adopt is the fact that its Not just about getting the visa. POE for birthing is another issue so thou shall be prepared.
1. Purpose of trip-Family trip and Childbirth. Refresh me memory as I Haven't filled DS160 in agess. U clicked on B1/B2 right? That covrrs medical. Is there any other place to add childbirth?

2. Yes. If there's space for that, fill another ds 160 and initiate proceedings for them to swap it.

3.U can't stick to vacation story dear for a variety of reasons. One, its misrepresentation. Two, 'are you pregnant or planning to get medical treatment' is an expected question. What do u now do? Deportation is the end point and a very nasty experience. Even if u have all correspondence, u omitted or outrightly lied at point of interview. When u read the other thread, you l see how a family of 5 frequent travellers were deported. Please, always fulfill all righteousness.

4.Answered

5. No u shouldn't for already mentioned reasons. U can't deny being pregnant or omit it and do a 360 and write a letter.
U have the funds. Be prepared. Get a hospital. Carry their correspondence. Do a budget sheet (expenses expected for everything). Go with your financial proof. Read part 1 of thebirthing thread. Look out for Phema's posts. She posted lotsa helpful links and a sample of the budget sheet and burden of proof. Read the POE stories and see why u should do the right thing from the get go.
Good luck and congrats on the baby bump
