Please where did your mum have that interview, Abuja or Lagos ?

Lagos

Congrats dear God favor and grace was yours, honestly I think male VO’s are just the best honestly they are so so patient. Am due early next year, I wish I have faith like you to keep trying but I have been heart broken about this issue and I just want to heal.

curiouslearner:
Sorry about your visa being revoked.
My interview was on Wednesday 5th.
I had my doctors correspondence and Hospital correspondence from Dr Xydas and HNWMC.
The VO took time to look through each of them as well as my bank statements. Here is my transcript.
VO- Good Morning
Me- Good Morning
VO- May I have your passport please?
Passed it over to him.
VO - Why are you going to the US?
Me- I am going to the US to have my baby born there.
VO- Where are you planning to go?
Me - Houston Texas
VO- Do have any family there?
Me- No . I have made a booking for an accommodation in a hotel.
VO- Y do you want to have your baby born there?
Me- I want to give my child the privilege of dual citizenship as well as access good medical care.
VO- What do you do?
Me - I am a ......
VO- Can you explain that?
Me - Explained further and he nodded his head.
VO- Are you married and do you have kids?
Me- Yes I am married and I have two kids. Gave their ages.
VO- Where does your husband work?
Me - He works with XYZ as a ......
VO- Have you got any doctors correspondence?
Me - Yes and hands them over and he also asked for my bank statements which I passed to him along with my budget sheet.
VO - Y did i choose to go to Houston.
Me- I had good reviews about the Doctor and the hospital and decided to go with them.
VO- Looks through Nd took a great deal of time checking through.
VO - Have you travelled before?
Me- No but my husband has travelled severally.
VO - Where has he been to?
Me- He had been to ...
The VO was really patient, he went through the statements and asked questions for bulk transfers. I answered honestly and after a while he hands Me the white paper.

I had initially applied with my family but we were denied on the grounds of no strong. So i applied alone and prayed like I have never done before.
The VO didn't ask y I was initially denied.I think in all God was truly involved. I am due in December. Thanks for your contributions.
I "d say don't give up because I almost did. I paid for Visa fee three times and got an agent to get me a close date.

duvocharrison:
Am also in ur shoes my interview is nxtmonth but used west Houston.abt ur 3.5g is it going abi return leg.can help out.but I no sabi how u guys do pm

I also used WHMC, just go with all your receipts and itemized bill, you will be fine by God’s special grace. Amen. 3-5kg US - Nigeria leg Biko my sister, I just need to get some major things I can’t find around, I will pm you don’t worry just respond via your email.

duvocharrison:
So sorry it's well dear.pls which hospital did u use first

I used WHMC, although my documents were not checked in my interview. The day the VO revoked my visa was when she asked for the hospital I will be using and ask for my appointment letter and because I wanted to use HWNWC she had a lot to say about the hospital explaining what some lines meant in the document given. She didn’t know I even had my first in the US.

At my interview I had contacted some other hospitals including WHMC but unfortunately no documents was asked for, I met the same VO who fought me about date typed for long and then sent me to another VO, second VO asked me two or three questions reads for long, types for long and gives me blue paper. Off course first VO had done the damage.

Lisaosato:
Wow! So sorry about this. I had my hospital correspondence and acceptance letter from Dr X and HNWMC waiting for interview date but you set me straight. I quickly resumed communication with expensive hospitals I was running from. I'm even afraid to use any Houston hospital especially those mentioned here because I feel they read this thread. If I get my visa I will definitely carry your 3.5 kg load, it's a promise. Please I sent a PM.

Am happy you can make adjustments quickly please do the needful, I wish you the very best in your interview, I will be praying for you and thanks for the offer I really appreciate, Am looking forward to the 3.5kg. I will respond to your PM.

Yettyolaseni:
Hi madam...sorry about all d stress...i used HNWMC for last baby and also renew my family visa for tourism. Also have a friend that just renew her visa last month and used HNWMC . And have seen someone that was denied for 2nd mission after using Oakbend for first mission and also plan to use same hospital for second mission..
Dr Xydas fee is not cheap . It is almost same price with oakbend and west houston hospital. Only the hospital is cheap.
VO Always look for excuse to deny visa especially for childbirth and we all know God's favour is what we need to achieve a purpose and our handwork( filling, documentation and interview)
Warning: We should be careful of what we post before interview. I think we can post after passing thru POE and return back home .
Is better to PM ur question.

Hello Madam if you read very I said stay away from cheap hospitals I didn’t mention doctor here. The fact you and your friend were able to renew successfully I suppose via drop box doesn’t mean others have. Did you get an itemized bill from your hospital? That hospital will only pass through an interview with God’s favor and if not spotted, I know what I was told my sister, am here just to help my fellow ladies okay. After my advice it’s left for everyone to do as it pleases him or her, I have done the best I can.

Hello All,
I feel a lot better now to talk about it so others can learn. My Visa was REVOKED recently on the day of my mums interview. If you recall my previous post, my mom was to have her interview although I wanted to change her interview date until am gone but there were no dates available before my delivery and I will be having a CS, so we prayed and trusted God that all will be fine with her interview, I even asked if ones visa could be revoked, Little did I know it would happen to me and things will turn out this way. I really can’t type the whole transcript of what happened, I might take almost 4 Pages here if I do that besides am saving my energy for child birth.

I tried to reapply after the VO revoked my visa cos her last words were Madam you can reapply, go and reapply, I have written it here that you can reapply, but to my greatest surprise I found myself In front of the same VO who revoked my visa on the day of my interview (Yes oo same VO) and her problem was how did I get an interview date, (note this was about a month difference in date from my moms interview) she said they are fully booked and waiting period is 4 months so how did I get date, una see me see Wahala ba infact if you know how that day also went you will cry for me and this baby, the things our eyes have seen and ears heard. But in all am thankful to God and I find Peace staying back to have my baby here, as I don’t know God’s will and plans for me and this baby but to wait on his will. In God’s hands lies our destiny no one can change that fact. Try do your best and leave the rest to God.

Please note, I have been to the US several times and I have never committed any crime Ooo I had also written to the embassy of my plans and got a reply from them (check my previous post) Before my mums interview.
I renewed my visa when I was not pregnant via interview cos my previous visa wasn’t issued in Nigeria so I didn’t qualify for drop box, My first baby was born in US, I paid all my bills and have all receipts , itemized bill and Zero balance letters, so I came clean in everything guys.
I had way above 20k dols for the trip in my statement.

I was invited in for questioning on the day of my mums interview after I dropped her off, she had already been given the white paper and asked to come and call me I don’t know who that VO went to consult that changed everything by the time I got in, while I was with her she kept going in an coming out, infact make I stop here, I don’t want to break down again, am putting the past behind me.

My Advice:
Stay away from cheap hospitals, HNWMC has a red flag with US VO, the miracle moment package given to self pay patients has something to do with insurance, read in between the lines on the document usually sent. They have a list of hospitals with red flag.

Make sure you have your Nigeria address on your child/Children’s birth certificates.

If you did not get your visa for birthing, send your letter of intent quietly, carry your self go US go born your pikin. Am reading about one sister trying to apply for her sister Biko sister hold on. Ladies once you have your visa, I beg manage your husband will be fine, go born come home, don’t complicate issues cos theses people are making things difficult for Nigerians these days. I forgot to mention that in September they passed a document that will make it difficult for Nigerian to get US visa, wish I can screenshot and post here so please let’s be careful.

After your birthing experience, before another missionary journey try travel elsewhere so you have good travel history.

Never stop saying the truth, Prepare well and Pray very well before your interview, so your village people go miss road, dey no go find you reach US embassy gate

Ehen ooo those going to have baby or those who are planning to come back and can help a sister with about 3-5kg of some very important items please indicate or PM me God go bless you for me

Sorry for the long post so you see that if I have to type the whole transcript part 1 and 2 some people will beat me here

Mamaiyanu:
Please what did they say oo.... can you post?

Don’t know if am allowed to post it here, but long and short story they are not in position to update a record of an already issued visa.

My B1/b2 visa allows for childbirth in the US

Before I travel I should ensure I have my doctors appointment letter, details of where I will be receiving medical care, estimated cost of financial medical care because immigration officials will ask for it.

I should know that childbirth in the US is expensive and cost can escalate if there are complications, I will be required to pay all my bills.

I should ensure I collect my itemized statement of account from my healthcare provider and receipts.

I have just summarized the letter in detail.

Nabie:
Please i need urgent response,my husband is unable to notorise at the lagos embassy(change of name and id issues)am due to leave 15th of september.my question is what does little one need since the embassy suggested we cn apply for her US passport when we arrive.

Your child will need a Nigerian passport.

mimiessien:
still awaiting any help or advise I can get on this.if you sent letter of intent please how long did it take till you got a response and which of the emails did you send to?thanks ppl

Send to Lagos I just got my response some minutes ago.

DeeandGLady:
My dear I think it takes forever now ooo, I have also sent a letter of change of intent to Lagos embassy, I haven’t gotten a response too waiting for their response as well.

Some minutes back I wrote here that I haven’t gotten a response, I just refreshed my mail now and gbam!!! I saw their response sent 5mins ago, it’s not the usual auto response as before ohh, am still trying to understand the grammar they are speaking.

chibertha:
Send it again this time copy Lagos

I sent to Lagos too over a week no response from them.

mimiessien:
still awaiting any help or advise I can get on this.if you sent letter of intent please how long did it take till you got a response and which of the emails did you send to?thanks ppl

My dear I think it takes forever now ooo, I have also sent a letter of change of intent to Lagos embassy, I haven’t gotten a response too waiting for their response as well.

TsunamiHot:
Is the person pregnant or a regular visitor cos I heard they are more strict towards pregnant women.

Why was she sent back

She was pregnant, her husband and child were allowed in eventually after spending hours, she wasn’t pregnant when she had the visa, and had all her documents for child birth, what would have passed in any other POE was an issue. Her husband panicked and answered a question a little different from what she said they capitalized on that, I don’t have so much details dear.

dremye:
Plz guyz is it particularly necessary for my wife and child to at least travel to a neighbouring country e.g Ghana to disvirgin their passport before proceeding for the interview in Nov. I (the husband ) have been out of d country before once.. I.e. to Kenya. Plz I need to know.this is the first time we are applying for US visa and shes going for child delivering and I am going for a tour with d child for a month with her. We applied for B1/B2

People who haven’t travelled ever before have gotten the US visa, and some people who have travelled very well have been denied the visa as well it all comes down to God’s favor which is all you need so I don’t think it’s necessary for them to travel, although they love travel history all the same, so if you can afford them to travel let them travel if not just pray for God’s favor.

dremye:
Thanks for your response...but am thinking of letting them know that my wife is going first and myself and child to join her in two weeks later which is the truth and then to return together in 4weeks after...she's to spend 6weeks all together...both of us are tied with our work in Nigeria. She's a banker am a production engineer....could this suffice?

Let her apply alone first, the issue is all of you appearing for the interview at once. Sometimes the job is not enough ties for them.

dremye:
hello beautiful people, i am particularly new here. my wife is pregnant and will be due in january. we applied for b1/b2 for child delivery in USA. our interview is scheduled for November.so she plans to leave by 1st week in january. we applied for the whole family. myself, hubby, wife and daughter of 2yrs. any advice going into the interview and beyond?

I meant your wife should apply alone first, then the rest of the family can apply together later on.

overlord77:
I don't think so. What makes it more different than Houston, NYC, ATL etc.?

In recent times they are different in their own way, I honestly think people should avoid that POE for now.

overlord77:
Again I ask, what is wrong with Chicago POE? Let's stop creating this fear for people please. As long as your intentions are genuine and story coherent/straight forward, you have nothing to fear.

Someone I know was just sent back from that POE, so it will be best people avoid that POE as much as possible.

chibertha:
POE is usually the first place your plane touches ground in this case NYC

This is not sometimes the case, they might have drop off at NYC if you will still be using delta airline to Chicago, please check well it might be a drop off of passengers at NYC and then they proceed to final destination and POE will be at Chicago.

dremye:
No response?

From what people have posted here it will be better you apply alone first before the rest of the family does, before the VO thinks you guys want to run away.

Kennyayan:
All she needs is God's favour...

Now this post has just scared me, I plan to travel with my mom, I will still be in Nigeria when she will have her visa interview, am planning she goes with my visa page for her interview, so is it possible they cancel or revoke my visa?

I stated in my past post how my visa was renewed early this year, I wasn’t pregnant when I renewed my visa, I have had previous birthing experience in the US paid all my bills and have my zero balance letters, my visa renewal was an interview no question about my previous birthing was asked, just a few questions asked about my work and places I have been to, we were to visit the US for Easter but we didn’t go to the US but went somewhere cos hubby had a training in another country, planned to go to US for summer until baby showed up.

Please I need advice should my mom have her visa while am still here, I need serious help with my toddler during the trip and after the trip.

Amen ooo

sucre26:
Hi everyone. Please I really need help on this issue and advice. I have a valid medical visa. I had my 1st child in the usa and I want to go again to have my 2nd one in October. I’d like my grandma to go with me and her visa is next week. Is it advisable for her to go for interview while I’m still here or move the date forward and let her go for the interview when I’m there already. We are scared they might cancel my visa or it might affect me with the way they are doing anyhow these days. I’ll be giving her my data page and my daughter’s own as well.

Is it possible for them to cancel your visa for this reason? Did your grandma eventual go for her visa interview or you moved it? We seem to be in same situation.

ibukunpops:
I will suggest you leave first before she applies.

Even if the unexpected happens (the cancelling) you are already in and will finish the mission.

I know of a mother and child that applied through the child's school for a competition, the mother was put on administrative processing but the child was approved immediately, child had to travel as mother was still on administrative processing, mother was eventually refused and the very next day child's visa was revoked and cancelled.

All the best.

Now this post has just scared me, I plan to travel with my mom, I will still be in Nigeria when she will have her visa interview, am planning she goes with my visa page for her interview, so is it possible they cancel or revoke my visa?

I stated in my past post how my visa was renewed early this year, I wasn’t pregnant when I renewed my visa, I have had previous birthing experience in the US paid all my bills and have my zero balance letters, my visa renewal was an interview no question about my previous birthing was asked, just a few questions asked about my work and places I have been to, we were to visit the US for Easter but we didn’t go to the US but went somewhere cos hubby had a training in another country, planned to go to US for summer until baby showed up.

Please I need advice should my mom have her visa while am still here, I need serious help with my toddler during the trip and after the trip.

Momo13:
Anyone please?

I would say Yes as long as she had a previous visa.

Hello house,

Who has experienced missing baggage on Airfrance before? Arrived yesterday. And none of my bags arrived with me. I have filled the form. Who knows the days involved. I have baby food, diaper, clothes etc in that bag and all my stuff.

Please Who has experience?

Yes my bag came in after 3 days was delivered to my door step if you requested it when you filled the form. Bag was intact nothing broken nothing missing. Just pray things have not changed.

Jenge:
Thank you so much..pls I still have a few questions

1) The passport you’re referring to is the US passport right??

2) My husband is not coming with me So it means my he has to notarise the form before I can get the US passport for the LO....

3) Can I do only US passport for the LO...then do the Nigerian passport when I return?

4) If I do only US passport for the LO,,,means I have to get Nigerian visa on arrival at Lagos airport ie after applying online and all that..

1) Yes US Baby Passport-

2) Yes he will have to Notarise at the US embassy in Nigeria

3) Yes

4) Yes

So I guess you understand the process now

Chicserendipity:
Hi anitaamich. I'm also traveling in October and wish to use HNWMC too, but haven't contacted the hospital. Please can you share some information on how you contacted them? I couldn't get through to Dr. Xydas on phone.

DeeandGLady:
ello Mama's AM BACK!!!!! for my Second Missionary journey. I had my first baby in 2015 and I see a lot has changed here (being reading for a while now). Please I need help oooo 3 yrs now so I feel new here. I used WHMC in 2015 but their bills (for CS cos I can't have VG delivery) no be here again ooo I want to run am considering HNWMC now but I need to have an Idea what their bill for CS is so I can make up my mind. Please anyone who has used HNWMC before for childbirth via CS please indicate so I can PM you or drop your experience and bill please I need to make up my mind ASAP. Thanks and God bless.

Secondly I renewed my Visa in January (via interview) with the hope of visiting US for Easter but we went to another country instead hoping to go for summer but as it is, baby is on the way, I can't travel again for summer I need to save and travel in November as my EDD is January. Now with what I read here hope its not a crime if I use my visa to travel for birthing, I want to send a letter of change of intent but I read its no longer relevant. Please advice.

NOTE: I wasn't preg during my interview, I wasn't asked any question about my previous childbirth, I wasn't asked if I will use the visa for childbirth, I have all my receipts and zero balance letters for childbirth. (the VO just asked about my work and pay and said she was giving me the visa based on my good travel history and I should make sure I have enough funds for my holiday). Please advise, as a lot has changed and am confused.

You can travel with this visa in Nov get stamped in for 6 months which will be valid for your stay in the US, this is my own advice oooo considering we don’t know the outcome if you go reapply for a medical Visa, those VO people are not smiling.

Yinkzy03:
Good day Mothers in the House, you guys are wholesome and I pray that it shall all end in praise and thanksgiving in Jesus name.

Please I need advice from Veteran Mothers, see my request below;

So I applied for a medical Visa Oct 2013 and was granted , went to the embassy with my medical bills paid . We lost the baby but still travelled May 2014. Asked me at POE and I explained we got a medical Visa coz we were expecting a baby which we lost , the officer sympathized with us and stamped us in. Then we did a drawbox entry for renewal jan 2017. We planned to use the Visa 2018 but now I m pregnant again. I m due feb 2019 and my Visa expires jan 2019. Now we re confused on what to do . Either
1. Should I go to the Us say Nov 2018 and I should be probably stamped in for 6months . Meaning on leaving Us , my Visa would have been expired
2. Do another draw box renewal, even without using the 2 years Visa that is expiring soon.
3 . Reapply for a Medical Visa and pay all my bills and visit the embassy .
Please appreciate your quick response to enable plan properly. Thank you
