@firsttymum so sorry if i upset you. Not to worry thanks for pointing it out again. Have channeled my enquiry to the right forum and have gotten replies and also am not an agent any info i get here is for my use expect on one occasion where i help a non nairaland member to make enquiry.

pls softly on me u seem to be in angry mood today. Am your sis next door.

Lol... I hardly get angry o, not to talk of getting angry in a "faceless" forum..
I'm glad you've gotten your replies... Enjoy ur vacation jare
Cheers

I have a feeling agents now open accounts to ask questions for their clients

Either
Looking for a packaged lie
Or looking for a way out after a lie

Seriously I don't get all these small small lies in d name of asking questions

The worse is they are coming in numbers one question after another just visa related
New nairaland accounts or dormant nairaland accounts

REMEMBER VISA JUST GETS YOU TO THE POE, IT DOESNT NECESSARILY ADMITS ANYONE.

dyout:
What branch of Zenith and what rate?

Gra Portharcourt , and every regional branch

Mrsoje
I didn't wanna reply you since u mentioned me, I will

u said that question hasn't been answered here
Which isn't true

On the USA visa visit page u asked same question precisely may14 at 10 am and u were answered.

U said u r asking based on vacation and not birthing...
Then again this forum is for birthing and question related to birthing...

plus everything MODATH said

Zenith bank has started giving PTA

@firstymum. hmnnn,, you know how our hubbys can be at times with info
they share wen you pressurise or they feel need to. as soon as he told me this story about his old passport.. i shared.
so pls pardon US.

i dint put the 400k lump sum in hubby account on this thread cos i feel US doesnt look for such on statements unlike UK

the story is clearer. we both have uk application rejection, mine in 2014, i have only been to ghana b4. his in 2007, he has been to uk few times b4 the rejection and germany last year

we wana give birth in us. do we reaply for uk first, or face US squarely

People replied u already! U.S. Visa is not fill form today go to embassy tomorrow, u might have to wait almost 2months depends on the crowd applying at that time to get a date.. The visa rejection they ask about on the form is US VISA. Sometimes the VO won't ask about ur history... Browse through this thread and gather ur burden of proof and be prepared .. On a serious note go through this thread with ur jotter and pen and gather materials and read people's experiences... It would really help. It's not just account statements, it's hospital, Drs correspondence , accommodation, strong ties etc so u must read through
Don't forget to pray for Favour

nefertitiram:
@uptown17 face US squarely.

As for UK rejection, old tinz have passed away and all tinz av become new.

As in she was already carefully told this as there's no time... Someone was complaining about getting sept 24 th as the earliest us visa interview date.

FinanceFitness:
@all, CBN has now issued a circular banning fx cash deposits into domicilliary accounts. All previous deposits can only be withdrawn in cash. So all banks will now turn down all FX cash deposits.

Sorry justwise, just thought to update the house

The only way to fund the Dom account is electronically .... Let's hope naira will rise

Mamatukwas:
Hi Ladies. Just wondering... Why we no dey go Ohio?? Someone mentioned University hospital Ohio on a diff platform as I made some calls, my sisters d rates are not bad oh... Some kain WHMC levels.

Nah just to find doctor so that il see if this super story is true...

As soon as it was brought up, my dear the findings just discouraged people jare

uptown17:
haaaaa. help again o. dont be tired pls. hubby has an old passport (before epassport started) that has a 6mnths, 2yrs, visa and a rejection of 5yrs application. the rejection was in 2007 wt reason (he was a student then and dint have sufficient ties to nigeria) all from way back before we got married. his new passport has just schengen visa

as you have advised we should face our us visa for birthing, does this new discovery on his old passport matter?
should we take this passport alongside the new one at all?

pls bear in mined, my self n 2yr old baby have 6months uk application rejection on ours

thanks guru mums

What's the real story? Cos ur story isn't consistent... In the UK visa page u said and I quote "
note: hubby never had a rejection any time and has been to few other countries. his will be a renewal"

Now u r saying he was denied?
In the UK visa page u talked about funds(how someone transferred 400k to ur hubby and he transferred same amount to another person) and that u preferred to use ur sisters account. And u also said u intend to apply end of August to the UK (and you'll be 24 or 25 weeks) lets add the duration of their visa processing and then let's add when you will b able to secure an appointment with d US embassy

What do u want? To birth in the UK or US ? You seem confused and not completely honest.
Like financefitness said HAVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGED?

It obviously hasn't and note that you were denied visa based on finances..

You are even beginning to confuse me

It is well

Firsttymum comman speak for urself

Copied and saved....
People will soon ask me why I'm laughing like this...
Press #1 to hear this message again in a different dialect hahhahahahhahhahaha

FinanceFitness:
Lucky and favored you dear - they ask me each time I get interviewed.

Oh yes how can I forget Favour... It was FAVOUR .. My interview was 3 mins tops ...

I went with my Mantu, recharged myself with annoiting oil , drank communion... Then reinforced with prayers

customised87:
This babe right here is a clown loooool

Erm erm erm erm #okbye lol

When I applied for US visa it was on a fresh passport (change of name)
They detached my other passport that has my travel history before I got to the VO.
And No question about if I had travelled before came up

olokings:
While you may be very right.
I think they can work their way around it with a gud back story as to why they wanna go to the states em all.

When I and my family went for interview, we just recently (like 2 months old) got the big rejection stamp from France embassy.
What we did was top build travel history by taking a 4 day vacation to dubai with layover in Ethiopia (yeah! Dt adds to travel history lol)..
As such we weren't asked why the rejection. ..just if we have b4 n I said yes. ..

Tnxie much

Very smart move... Now that's where finances come into play... She might just b lucky and they might not ask her why she was rejected

FinanceFitness:
@firsttymum- interestingly, I did 2 interviews at American embassy before drop box and each time they referred to my UK visa - first time VO said hmm, I see you have 2yrs UK visa, that's cool. Second time, I see you have a valid 5yrs visa.

And guess what, when I was entering US this last time, the CBP officer asked me why I was refused the very first time I applied for a UK visa, which was many many years ago - thats after having many issued visas subsequently.

My view is that they know the documentation requirements for the British embassy is huge, they are not huge on documentation, so having the former helps corroborate their decisions.

But at the end of it all, prayer works and of God says yes, no number of rejection stamp will change it.

Wow for shizzle?
Na wa o... And UK visa is a "real time" process not like US WHERE U GET YOUR PASSPORT IN 2days.
After the UK the time needed before she reserves appointment for the U.S. Visa is my concern.
Like you asked "HAS HER CIRCUMSTANCES REALLY CHANGED" second refusal will be bad o

OLOKINGS

What if his budget (to b presented to the VO) can't cover the birth trip plus vacation

Plus if she's visibly preggy, the VO WILL BE LIKE who are u fooling, u wan go born, u wan go born.

prettymoi:
Please any information for birthing centre / hospital in minesota or tex as? Urgent plus 08023346120
Thanks

We shld call you to give you the info? Wow

Ok then just chill, we will all get out our jotters and summarize the info and then call you...

Wait BOSS

ozycy:
thanks, the interview was in Abuja. The next available date now is 24th September. That's quite far

Hmmmm while waiting for a better option for a closer date... I hope u don't loose the 24th u even saw... Can't u move ur flight?

uptown17:
hi people. please i need clarification on this us visa ooooo

i was refused uk visa as first timer last year with my baby; reason : insufficient funds & they could not reach the person that invited me

now i am 21wks pregnant and want to go and give birth in the us. hubby is our sponsor and has uk & shenghen visa that are expired.

do we reapply for the uk visa first before going to us embassy or do we just leave uk and apply to us to give birth

what are our chances of getting the us visa


i will appreciate your candid response dear gurus

As dem no gree answer u na, u gats do copy and paste
Let me attempt to answer you ( I stand corrected )
Concentrate on ur US visa, (if u like have all the visas whether expired or not, if they wanna deny, dey will)
Gather your burden of proof ( I assume u know what that is)
Read the thread from part 1 to this page
If u read through the thread you'll see "testimonies" or preggy mums who went for visa interview with virgin passports, they've never travelled outside lagos sef (just kidding).
So get ur pen and jotter and start reading( if u hate to write Oya open msword connect ur printer and start copying pasting and printing)

Any news about Ben Taub hospital.... I can't even get a dr affiliated to that Hospital... has anyone gotten any new info?

ozycy:
Hi house, my hubby went for interview this morning and was denied, guess it's my fault cos I didn't give him my last delivery receipt, I totally forgot, dunno what I was thinking shaa. he said dat was what dey asked him for and how much I paid for the hospital bills. They told him dat he wasn't prepared in his last application we all went for in 2013 and he is still not prepared now. I was thinking since that's the only thing they wanted, they would have told him to go get it and come back. Dunno if he shud reapply (dats if he will agree sef lol) but the next available date now is September, can I still get available date sometime this august cos I plan to travel by September? And How?

Expedited is now very strict(the condition for expedited is spelt out on their website)... I suggest u compare Abuja and lagos consular offices to get a closer date... Abuja is less crowdy so u might b lucky... Abeg package ogas burden of proof for him and "school" him if possible... U that read this thread have more experience.

I hope a better option as to how to get a closer date is available

Terese69:
Those guys are not smiling o. I don't know about PTA but I used my GTB Naira debit card a few days ago for a POS transaction and realised they charged me N225 per dollar.

The thing pain me sha, I nor fit lie!

GTB is perfect for Internet banking and shii... And naija pos transaction et al ... Anything out naija it's a big no

FinanceFitness:
I think it may be more of a confusion between turnover/ sales and net earnings. While the former refers to actual sales, the latter tracks profit after all business expenses which may or may not include salary of the owner. I think she still has a chance to change it if she made an honest mistake. In my opinion, earnings quoted on the form should be the after tax profit from the business or after tax income she earns as salary from the business. She can explain this when she goes back.

The key here is that our business people should try to understand all these terms and use them appropriately at interviews.

The VO is interested in how much you have available to spend, and that isn't sales. So one needs to break it down by saying I sell bla bla, my profit margin is bla bla bla e.t.c. So it is clearer.

This is just in case she quoted sales instead of profits though...

If otherwise, then olokings and co have suggested the way forward.

Perfect
Exactly the reason I said PROFIT...
But "what do u earn is even a very direct question" anyway we all understand things different

BTW ur name fits u...
Hope the OP has read this
