Heart05:
Can you please help me with the email address of Dr F? Thank you

Me tooo and the quotes too

dere5:


She says his visa will expire on the month of her delivery and you can even apply for renewal 2/3 months before expiration, they will just cancel the old one before they issuing the new one.

so we apply together on the same form?


Thank you

elfmann:

But the husband has a running visa.

Yes, which will expire around my EDD and he will need to travel too during that period

Hence my question. Does he get a renewal first via drop box before I apply? or we apply together


Thank you

dere5:


I think you stand a better chance applying with your husband since he has been to the states before

Ok thank you.

ALADE4J2:
Long post caveat!
So DW and I got our visas approved. She had earlier applied alone but was denied. I had to therefore apply with her, eventhough I still had a valid visa. Because from the interview she had, it seemed the VO had a problem with my monthly income as she asked her again and again about my salary after she had reviewed my previous DS 160 application which I filled to get my current visa. It turned out, when I checked the DS 160, that I did not update my salary information the last time I applied; as I just copied the information from my previous application. The salary figure there was the one I was earning like 5 years ago; and it’s like 25% of my current salary! Lesson 1, always update your DS 160 information correctly, even when you are copying from previous applications.

The first emergency request we made was made under my profile, and was denied with an explanation that applicants who are traveling for the purpose of taking care of pregnant relatives are not eligible for expedited interview. We therefore made another emergency interview request with the same supporting documents using DW’s profile; and was granted. Lesson 2, when making an expedited interview request, apply under your wife’s profile, even when you are the sponsor.

Interview:
We met a very good and professional VO who, seeing the size of DW’s stomach, informed her that she could sit down if she wanted with a smile.

VO: good morning, passport please.
Me and DW: good morning (dropped passports)
VO: why are you going to the US
me: for child birth because of my wife medical history and previous negative experience with medical personnel in Nigeria that is making us scared ( and this is the truth).
VO to DW: where do you work?
DW: I work with ........
VO: how much is your monthly income?
DW: my monthly income is .....
VO: what does this organization do?
DW: (she explained)
VO to me: where do you work?
Me: I work with..... as ......?
VO: what is your monthly income?
Me: my monthly income is ......
VO: how long have you been working with this organization?
Me: (told him)
VO: You have previously worked with (mentioned my former office); as what?
Me: (told him my functions in my former office).
VO: Have you been to the U.S before?
Me: Yes
VO: How many times?
Me: 5 times
VO: what for?
Me: All the trips were for work related trainings?
VO: what is the longest time you have ever spent in the U.S.?
Me: 2 weeks.
VO to DW: how long are you planning to stay?
DW: 2 months ( cuts in and told him I will be staying for 3 weeks)
VO to DW: do you have any relatives in Houston?
DW: no.
VO: do you have any other children?
Me: yes, 2 children.
VO: are you traveling with them?
Me: no.
VO: when is your due date?
DW: February
VO: are you sure the airline will allow you to board? (really DW’s stomach is very big)
Me: yes, up to the 35th week of pregnancy.
VO: do you have an estimate for this trip?
Me: yes, (passed the budget sheet together with correspondences with Dr F and OakBend to him)
VO: (reviewing the budget sheet and correspondences) how did you know this doctor?
Me: from research, and we spoke with a couple of people that have used him.
VO: your visas have been approved (passed us the instructions for picking them).

Lesson 3, always tell the truth. The VOs are just there to do their work.

I thank God first of all. Thank you to all the mamas and papas in this forum. Special thanks to Omodadi, Li, Mamao and nerftitiram. I’m sorry for the long post; just wanted to help folks avoid the mistakes we made.

P.S. DW has never travelled outside the country before.
