Goodmorning beautiful people.
i just want thank God for a successful visa interview that took place on friday in Abuja. I also want to thank God for this forum... y'all have been informative cos i am a first time mom never travelled out befor.

My transcript:
VO: why r going to the state
ME: i will like to have my baby in the US
VO: ok, have you contacted a doctor?
ME: yes and i gave him d correspondance of Dr F and my statements of account
VO: where do you work?
ME: i work ××××
VO: where does you husband work?
ME: he works ××××
VO: what do u do for ××××
ME: i am ×××× for ×××
VO: ok, what does your husband do for ××××
ME: he does ××××
VO: how much do u earn
ME: ××××
VO: how much does your husband earn
ME: ××××
VO: starts typing and then drops his eyeglasses and said from my calculation your income and your husband's income wont be able to pay for this. How Would u pay without using medicaid?
ME: we actually made up our mind in december to have this baby in the US and from that time till now we have bn able to save ×××× and i still have bonus and allowance that will be paid befor and while i am away.
VO: impressive. (He started typing) and said congratulations your visa has been approved.
ME: thank you.

Lots of ppl with fantastic income were denied. Infact some guy said he earns 560k monthly. I looked at him, his shoe and family he really dint look like he earns such shocked cry
i was almost tempted to quote annual income when i dint quote that in my application.
My take: stick to what u filled in your form. Dont panic when you hear people's response. Be truthful.

Merci beaucoup!

@Hellomosquito 1. Ur transcript isn't complete. U didn't post ur income.
2. No travel history although people in same issues get visas aall the time but;
3. Ofa come spoil matter. Vo's are human and all want to feel important. Its within their personal prerogativeto give or deny visas. If na me sef go bounce una jus to prove a point. cheesy Whatever his feelings were, he should have checked it. Moreso the question was not out of line cos they need to know u are prepared.
I suggest u reapply alone


You are right... Sometimes your mode of communication matters alot. If you don't have additional information about the question asked just stick to yes or No answers. It helps alot.

I think money in the bank is pretty important, cuz the VOs know this is a capital intensive project

But you can always try your luck


Ok thank you so much.

If you apply now, you may not get free interview date till feb (not sure tho)

500k is small o! You need like 2m for this waka you are planning, not just for visa sake but to also pay your bills

Read up, you will be glad you did


yeah i know its small...i just want to know if money in the account is very important since we will submit payslips for the interview. am just in the first trimester and befor the last we will be good to go.

My concerns if just for the interview for now.

Thank you so much BBSweetheart.
I understand every thing u said but i am too clear on budget spreadsheet. please can u throw more light on this.

Thank you
BBSweetheart:


Its a good thing if you apply for your Visa early enough. your account details and payslips will suffice, however, it is the transactions record in terms of cash flow that matters at the point of visa application. your payslip would already give an idea of your income. You need to tell the truth, they will still find out at the POE. All the success stories here are based on the truth. Birthing your child in the US is not illegal.

Several questions have already been answered in previous thread and i have also benefited from scanning through 1,2 and 3, but to make it easiers for you and others, here is a list of documents you need for your visa application.

1 International passport
2 Hospital Email Correspondence
3 Visa Receipt
4 Appointment confirmation
5 DS160 Confirmation Page
6 Marriage Certificate
7 Two 5cm x5cm white background passport
8 Newspaper Change of Name
9 Change of name affidavit from court
10 Wedding Pictures
11 Hotel Reservation Confirmation
12 Letter of Consent/sponsorship from hubby
13 Hubby's 8 months account statements
14 Hubby's Employment and promotion letter
15 Hubby's international passport
16 Your 8 months account statement
17 Your employment letter
18 Evidence of pregnancy from hospital in Nigeria
19 Budget spreadsheet
20 Letter of introduction from your office

Cheers

Hello house,
i was referred to this house and i must confess that you guys are awesome.
i am in my first trimester and i wud like to have my baby in US. my husband wants us to apply for visa now (we havent travelled abroad) cos he feels i might not get the visa if there is baby bump and that i should state that i am going for vacation which i am not to comfy with it. i suggested tourism and medical but he said no.

2: we both work and we havent saved more than 500k and i was wondering if our bank account is very much important as we intend to attach our payslips?

should we apply now or wait till febuary or march 2016?

Please i need answers ooo.
