Good morning all. I have been a silent member and would love to give back (if possible) I joined this platform in 2017 to find a hospital to have my baby in( I already had my visa in 2016 and disclosed to the VO I was going to give birth. I, however, had PROM and gave birth in Nigeria at 29 weeks, and eventually lost that baby when he turned 9 months). I got pregnant again, and gave birth 9 months after and used the previous b1/b2 visa to travel in 2017. I disclosed at the NY POE and wasn't searched or questioned. In total, I spent about five minutes at POE and travelled to Florida to have my baby because I had family there. I spent about $12,000. In March 2019, my husband and I applied for dropbox together in Abuja and got the 221g letter. We scheduled an appointment for Thursday, April 11, 2019. We were a little scared as 99.9% of the people were being rejected and coming out with pink papers. The AfricanAmerican lady VO would reject about 10 people before the other VO's would complete one interview. Anyways, I do not remember much, but this is our transcript (not 100% verbatim fyi). VO: Hello, may I have your passports Hubs and I: Good morning, yes please (hands them over) VO: Do you have relatives in the US? Hubs: Yes, my brother lives in the US I: My aunt also lives there VO: Have you visited the USA before (types on her desktop) Hubs and I: Yes we have severally, and even had our baby there in 2017 VO: How many kids do you have? Hubs: One I: We had two, but lost our first. He was, however, not born in the USA VO: Sorry about that. VO: What do you do? Hubs: I work as a xxxxx I: I work as xxxx in xxxx VO: May I see your previous hospital bill. How much was it? I: (Handover all bills, with all the adjustments, discounts, zero balances and Itemized bills) Our previous bill was about $11,600 VO: How much do you intend spending? I: From our correspondence, about $14,000 (she didn't ask for any dr/hosp. correspondence, even though I had it there) VO: So you intend to use a different hospital? I; Yes VO: Asks for account statement (We handover both from our various banks) She goes through them thoroughly, and types for a very long amount of time. VO: (Hands us a white paper) Your visa has been approved. Please pick up your passport in three business days. In the two hours we spent, every other person had pink papers. I want to thank @TripleKmama and @mrshappy who answered and supported all my numerous questions and requests. What I learnt from all this is try to be as honest as possible and follow your instincts on things, especially bills. I want to say thank you for providing me with all the research I needed and Good luck to mothers and fathers applying for Visas. 15 Likes |
