Hello everyone,
I'm working on my visa application and would like to seek your advice. Please which is better, say my family would be staying with a distant relative or hotel.

Thank you

Which ever you chose is okay,but you should have the following at the back of your mind,because you might be asked when you go for interview .
Is the distant relative a us citizen,? Is he there legally?
If you are stating hotel,you must have a reservation from the hotel to show when you go for the interview and also,you should work out total cost of your period of stay and add it to your budget sheet

My wife is a US green card holder and she want to travel with my 1yr old son to Nigeria. she already got our son his US passport book so I want to know if she will need to acquire Nigeria visa on his US passport book before he can travel back home with her to visit my parents? I want to know if he can get Nigeria passport on arrival or she must get him Nigeria passport before leaving the states? Great mother in the house who have travel to US for child birth and return home should kindly advice on this questions.

Yes she needs to get him a Nigeria visa on his us passport or a Nigeria passport before leaving the us or process visa on arrival for him, which ever you guys prefer, but if it was me,i will get him a 9ja passport or visa before leaving the Us,to save me plenty English and explanation at the us airport

I got same phone numbers I have been calling and my calls been transferred...

Is it that when they transfer the calls,no body picks up at the other end or what?
I remember having a similar scenario when I called some hospitals/Dr's office ,in some instances I had to wait for like 10-15mins after transferbefore someone picked up,so I will advise you keep trying and be patient,if you situation is similar to what I just described.

Asin, the thing just tire me. This new bank policies are frustrating. I won't be surprised if there'll be no more international spending on naira denominated cards from November. It is well.

Some banks like diamond bank has already stopped the use of their visa debit card for online purchases. I tried it some days back and couldn't,so i decided to chat then up,only to be told that it's use has been suspended for now

Hello house; This is an ‘almost’ silent follower [my story is on the ‘anyone trying iui, ivf’ thread] coming back to say thank you. I can honestly attribute our success at the visa interview yesterday to all the info I gathered here over the months & prayer.

After reading your story on the other thread "Anyone trying IVF /IUI /ICSI " i can only say that your case was God all the way. It gives hope to people that would normally want to give up,that if God can do it for you,He can also do it for them. I'm saying a prayer for you that your testimony will be full. IJN.Amen .

POE testimony coming soon..........

I say this is really trusting God, having faith in him and taking faith to another level. If i read you right ,you started reading this thread even before you got engaged,you had faith that the husband will come,not only that,also that the baby will follow and you guys will also have money to make the trip. My sister i hail your faith o,Baba God pls strengthen my faith like the one of eribooboo o.
I pray that the good Lord that brought you this far will complete that which he started.

Really nice thread. Please will really appreciate your answers. Someone that doesn't have relatives over there can she still birth there and if possible what are the procedures. Thanks a lot.

Any one can birth in the USA,whether you have relatives there or not. The important thing there is if you can afford it. If you are planning on embacking on this journey,i will strongly advice the you get a pen and jotter and start reading from part one,it will do you a whole lot of good.

Good morning everyone, pls need your help on this. My visa application was meant for vacation and hotel was mentioned as accommodation. Now the story has changed, though the chance of intent letter has been sent and reply received. And I'm planning of staying with somebody now, if at the POE I'm asked where I will be staying do I need to still book the hotel or just mention my new host address. Please I need your help

Where you pregnant when you applied for the visa? If no,then i think the best thing for you to do at this stage is to come clean and be truthful since the whole wake has changed. If i were you,if asked at POE,i will just tell them that visa was originally gotten for vacation and i had planned to stay in a hotel then,but since i couldn't use it for that purpose,i decided to use it for birthing and had informed the embassy of my change of intent and I'm staying with a friend now,shikina !

Thanks.

what do you think about my second question if am called eventually
I have calculated the amount spent on hospital and doctor F the last time was about 7k, I hope they won't say it's small based on VOs assumptions that child birth cost up to $15,000. Do I just go ahead and use same budget but state that due to current exchange rate which is three times I will be spending more.

If peradventure you are called for an interview,i would advice you get a new doctor and hospital correspondence you should reflect the price quoted in your budget sheet , all the same i think you are in order with $7k assumption,,most people that apply for visa on this thread usually gets quotes in that neighbourhood . If the issue come up,tell them it's cash/selfpay package ,they can contact the doctor if they are in doub.

Good day all. I am a returning preggo mama. Husby wants to fill drop box and I insists he states medical for me. He said he will attach all our previous receipts for my last delivery. I will just be preparing for a follow up appointment if called or should I just pick an appointment date and go for an interview. I have calculated the amount spent on hospital and doctor F the last time was about 7k, I hope they won't say it's small based on VOs assumptions that child birth cost up to $15,000. I have the documents for the zero balance

I don't think you are allowed to add things like receipts when submitting passport for drop box. They are usually very strict with documents you can add. Will advice you still do drop box and fill in doctor's name and address as US contact,that way it's obvious you are going for medical,and if they are still not satisfied and invite you to come for interview,you can then go with your receipts .
