For childbirth

WOLEXGINO:
Hello All,
Please, I am new here and need a guidance on my B1/B2 Visa.

in 2017, I got my Visa with my wife and truth been told, we didn't know she was 2 weeks gone. We wrote to the embassy to inform them about our intention to use the visa for childbirth and they replied we can as long as we can defend our purpose at the port of entry. Fortunately, No question was asked related to this matter and was able to enter the US and deliver the baby. To cut the long story, Upon our application for renewal (Dropbox), the visa was denied under 221g and we went for the interview with the proof of payment (Zero Balance Letter) but was denied.

We have reapplied for our B1/B2 visa in 2023 and hoping to visit the embassy for an interview in November.

Please, is there anything we need to do to defend or proof our innocence? Although, I stayed 1 week for the first time in the US and stayed 2 weeks for the second visit while my wife stayed 3 months at a stretch and both left at the same time for Nigeria?

Please, we need professional advise on what to do during the interview.

Ask on the other thread. You will get better answers from experienced people. Are you sure the hospital didn't give you a discount? If yes, then it could be the reason.

I reached out to the hospital again yesterday. They faxed my itemized bill to me again and said because I was paying cash.3k was just for the hospital. I paid 1.200 dollars to the doctor. I had a vaginal natural delivery. I didn’t use epidural. And when I told them I want to pay the adjustment on my bill,they said I do not owe . The lady I spoke to told me to call back today to see if I can get a letter stating that I am not owing. My cousin had her 3 children in the same hospital as me and she renewed her visa. At the time I had this issue was durning Trump’s time ,when they placed a ban on Nigerians .

Then get them to write a letter stating that you are not owing. Also that they did not collect any funds fir bills from the government on your behalf. I pray you find favour in your next application.

Did your cousin also pay 3k?

Ijaay83:



3k dollars was exactly how much the hospital charged. I got a zero balance. I know people that paid less than 3k and didn’t have this issues at the point of renewal.

Hmmmmmm. Ask those people if they later paid extra. I know for a fact that 3k is too small for someone that is not resident in the US. So ask your friends very well. Also reach out to the hospital and tell them your challenge. Your bill shouldn't be less than 5k.

Ijaay83:





I had my baby in Dallas 2017and I paid out of pocket. The hospital charged 3k dollars which I paid in full. I was given my zero balance. I did drop box and was asked to come for interview. The consular officer asked for my zero balance and I gave it to him . He looked @ it and then said the hospital gave me discount and handed the blue paper to me. I told him I didn’t ask for one,that the hospital charged me 3k and that was exactly how much I paid. Since then I haven’t been able to renew my visa. I need help please . Anyone in the same situation?

Find a way to pay the balance if you want to still visit the US. What you paid is not the right bill.

mommatriplets:
hello house, whats the most affordable flight to the US now..not exceeding 28hrs, layovers inclusive. ethiopian used to be a sure plug, but they have jacked up prices

None! Even Qatar that was cheap has gone up. This is high season so it is expected.

fkj950ax:
I need help with the steps for this.

I got an interview appointment.

How do I add other family members to that interview?

I was unable to “Add Dependent or Family Members” before getting appointment. Tried repeatedly with the three profiles and it kept failing.

Call the embassy. Although I know that previously you are meant to add them before getting an appointment. Call them today.

mfonox:
Good day house,

A friend filled and submitted her visa application over a year ago. Her interview date is in October. Please does she need to fill another form before her interview? I think I read that somewhere. Not sure.

If she does, how does she link her new application ID to the old one.

Thanks

Yes.

P0SITIVITY:
Good day all, I have a US visiting visa valid for a period of 5 years. Please any idea how I can maximize this opportunity is it possible I get a job there or something? Please I will appreciate your idea/contribution

I'm glad you said visiting visa. So use it to visit and go back to your home country. Except you want to get deported and banned.

chima1978:
Hello everyone. For those who have used drop box aka visa waiver, can you please post your timeline. That is from when you dropped it at DHL to when you picked your passport. Thank you,

No specific timeline. 10days - 2 months.

Molajim:
Pls can anyone verify this info… someone told me a one year old doesn’t need appointment, just like the 70 and above elderly. Pls is it true? I have a date for just me and I want to travel with my one year old baby

Does your baby have a visa? If no then you can't travel with her. You must book an appointment. Call the embassy to add her to your date.

TeeD:


quick question. MRV fee needed to book apointments is only valid for a year. Will your fee not have expired by then?

No. It will still be valid.

Ess:


Those that have bought will not agree to this. This is now an open secret and people are doing it, but my mind is'nt too comfortable with it actually.

Until they get you emergency appointment date with fake documents and you get rejected then your eye will clear.

How many of them have you seen come here to say the dates gotten worked out?

The family that wants to travel this year should have applied since last year. I applied in February for a family member and got may 2024. I'm OK with the date except new dates open up.

Make una try de stay away from wuru wuru.

overlord77:


Can one reschedule to an earlier date after scheduling ? How many times is one allowed to reschedule ?

Yes you can but I don't know the number of times you can change.

zichien:
—— in response to the earlier post asking for confirmation that the US government no longer requires COVID 19 vaccine status—-


If the us government website states no vaccine status is required..whatelse do you need again? You’ve heard it directly from the horses mouth. They no longer require vaccine status for travel to the US. If I tell you the website is lying does that mean you’ll believe the word of an anonymous stranger on a website over something easily verifiable by googling and finding the answer yourself straight from the horses mouth i.e us government website ??

I don't know who you are firing missles at. What we were all searching for was first hand experience for people that recently travelled.

Once there's a picnic in Adada river,expect something like this.

Someone must go with the river.

If it didn't happen in the river, accident likely occur on their way back.

Either ways, they have never returned back same way they left.

My SS1 Geography excursion in secondary school comes to mind.

Keep resting in peace, you didn't ask questions before swimming.

It never ends well swimming in Adada river.

Unisec alumni?

aomagh01:
please can someone tell me when they open us visa dates in lagos. They are saying no available dates!

New interview or renewal? If new call the embassy.

preciousradiance:



Please what time did you check? I'm looking at the best time in the day to check for dates

Check twice daily. Morning and afternoon. Pick a date if you haven't done it already then change when you get a closer one.

Sunshine34:
No no no.. Serious investigation is needed here. The story doesn't match at all. RIP

No. That water get something. Always the same story. The water is also not clear. Students should stay away but dem no de hear word.

dominique:
He should have known that diving into a waterfall with a very rocky base is extremely dangerous. He must have probably hit his head on a rock at the bottom of the pool, gotten unconscious and drowned afterwards but none of his mates noticed his absence and left without him? People are getting colder by the day ☹️

Not just that, most UNN students know that adada river is a no go area. There's always a case of drowning or accident after the trip. I don't know why students still go there.

HRMK:
soludo must have financed his election!

Obviously.

Send an anonymous message to his wife. This is a very bad situation.

I have been using oraimo power bank for almost two years. No issues with it. Depends on where you bought from.

Phakabir06:
Good morning, please my son has regular appointments interview in the next two weeks. He is a minor, is it necessary for me to take him along. He is just 4 years old that wont be needing a biometrics.

Please I need a response

You are supposed to go with him. It is a must until he turns 18. That's when he can attend interviews alone.

Dansakimotors:
Sorry bro !!

Thats why i always advise keeping the archive of your application before submitting. I aways do . (i have the 2012, 2018 and even the 2023 application stored in my mail box). The 1st time i was issued Visa was in 2013 after 4 attempt. I wld remember while i was with the VO she did make inquiry on some of my answers in my previous application. Meaning, they all have your responses stored in their archives. Thats why i aways advice people to be as truthful as possible (as truth can never be wrong) and if you have to lie, stick with the lie cos all your responses are stored for future references.

Since you cant remember, just be prayerful that the VO attending to you is not that detailed. Wish you all the best bro.

Bottom line is just be truthful. I don't archive mine cos everything filled is 💯 truth. A VO has once commended me for being honest. She went inside and verified everything I wrote and said.
Please guys no matter how challenging it is just stick to the truth. It will help you years down the line.

babs4all:
Good day great people. Please I need guidance. I have a valid Schengen visa on a passport that will expire in October. I just got my US visa on my new passport. I will be travelling in July to Europe and travel to America from Europe.
How do I handle the passport presentation to immigration officers in Nigeria, Europe and America? Do I have to present the 2 to Immigration guys in Naija and in Europe? When leaving Europe, do I have to present the two?
Please your advice is required. Preferably someone that had similar experience.
Thanks

If you know an immigration officer call and ask. I was recently informed it is wrong to have two valid passports. The old one should be stamped canceled. It doesn't mean the visa is canceled. Better go to an immigration office to clear this so you don't have issues when you want to board.

Handey:
I planned going on visit to the US Dec 13,2023.
When I tried scheduling my appointment,I was pushed to Jan 2025 for appointments.
Pls what do I need to do because it seems the appointment date is not aligning with my travel plans.
How do I change the appointment date from 2025 to 2023?
Urgent response pls

That's the current date. A lot of people are on the wait list. Select it ASAP before it moves to march 2025. You can reschedule if you find a nearer date.

seyewest:


Depending on the Airline, they will request for Covid test at the transit country but CBP won't request for it in U.S.A

Qatar airways. Do they still ask for it at the airport in Nigeria?
