Hello everyone!! I stumbled on this particular thread a few days ago. Please I want to register o. What are the requirements/dues #TeamSeptember

@cheldas: When I applied, my maiden name was on my bank statement and my passport had my new last name. I went with my hubby's bank statement and mine as well. I had little compared to hubby's statement but on the form and during the interview I indicated that hubby was sponsoring the trip and I was traveling alone. After the VO checked my acct statement he asked for hubby's own. So in my opinion, I don't think the problem was the different last names on your wife's document.

cheldas:
Good mamas in the building, my wife was at the embassy yesterday
Vo: gd am ma
Wifeey: gd am sir
Vo: why are you goin to the us
Wifeey: for childbirth
Vo: what does your hubby do
Wifeey: bla bla bla
Vo: what do you do
Wifeey: bla bla bla
Vo: have you travelled before
Wifeey: no sir
Vo: has your hubby travelled before
Wifeey: yes sir
Vo: to where
Wifeey: so so and so
Vo: does he have usa visa
Wifeey: no
Vo: can I have your own bank statement
Wifeey: here is it sir
Vo: is this your account
Wifeey: yes sir
Vo: I'm sorry you are not qualified, handed blue paper

Let me explain her account details here pls, she bears my name on passport as mrs abc but she has not changed her acc name cos she still bears miss xyz and this xyz name she have with her old passport of this name. Also, her own account has slim amount of money while mine has the larger sum (times 6 of her account bal.) cos I'm the on sponsoring the trip but the VO does not request for mine.
@ all gurus here what do you think she should do at this point cos I'm think she should reapply or we both apply together cos we don't have time again cos she will be due by late oct. We got expedited app for this, can we still get one again and should I apply with her or let her go alone?

Whatever you guys suggest is final

Thanks for your contribution so far.
@ O'cheldas

Hello everyone! I just want to share my houston POE experience. I was delayed for 5 hours, it was very frustrating. The CBP officers kept attending to
US citizens including those that came hours after me. They claimed they were the VIP and the rest of us were not to priority. I don't blame them sha, it's their country. The first CBP I met sent me for secondary inspection immediately I told him my purpose of visit was to give birth. I got my B2 visa solely for this purpose 2 weeks ago. After what seemed like eternity, I was finally called.

CBP: hello, how are you?
Me: tired, very tired.
CBP: So you're here to give birth?
Me: yes
CBP: why did you choose el paso? have you been there before?
Me: No i haven't been there before. Did research on hospitals, blah blah, blah, found DR N and decided to contact him.
CBP: what do you do?
Me: Medical Dr
CBP: how much do you earn monthly?
Me: x amount
CBP: started residency training?
Me: NO
CBP: what about your husband? did he come with you? what does he do
Me: Bleep
CBP:how much does he earn? what is the cumulative amount from the both of you.
Me: hubby earns x amount with is about 10 times my salary, he is the one sponsoring the trip
CBP: Any letter from the hospital or DR
Me: yes, *hands over letters*
CBP: how much do you have with you?
Me: $9000, plus some pounds
CBP: Any credit or debit cards?
Me: yes
CBP: what's the daily withdrawal limit
Me: $300
CBP: please come with me so i can see the money you have
we went into another room, where himself and another officer counted the money, then we went back to the counter
CBP: whats your budget for the entire trip?
Me: $15k
CBP: so the cash on you is for what aspect of your budget? Any pre-payment done to the hospital or DR?
Me: Cash is for hospital bills and transportation, flight has been paid for, accommodation, feeding, miscellaneous will be paid with my credit cards.
CBP: Ok. Please collect receipt of payment so when you come next time, you show it to us
Me: ok
CBP: When are you due?
Me: end of september
CBP: congratulations!
he stamps me in for 6 months
I missed my connecting flight but luckily there was another flight available.

VO: thank you, take care
Me: thank you

I am so happy! God favoured me. I am happy because I had received lots of wrong advices from family members to hide my intention to give birth and apply as a tourist. I insisted I was going to be truthful and if it was Gods will I will be granted. Thank you everyone. Thank God.
