Ooops, she will need to pay for another visa fees.

You can only change the appointment once and since she has already exhausted that, she wont be able to get another appointment on that.

Sorry

tootush:
hello everyone. Urgent pls! A friend is supposed to appear for B2(Child birth) interview on Friday along with her mum but on getting there; the officials checking d names said the confirmation code on the Ds-160 didn't change as she has appeared before so she wasn't allowed in for the interview but they persuaded her to leave the mum to appear without her and she was so confused. eventually she left her mum to go in for the interview( virgin passport and even she wasn't the main applicant) lo n behold she was granted the visa without her.
Now she was told to wait 3 working days and she should log back on her profile that she should pick any available date and then go on emergency travel and scan d GTB receipt, doctor's correspondence,letter from the doctor and upload so she can qualify for emergency travel date as her edd is in march . Has anyone experienced this? pls share any info that can help. p.s. she has cancelled appointment once so am thinking she will need to pay visa fee again but no one is sure of what to do. thanks n srry for the lng story

Check this out, the person screenshot sample budget sheet.

@justwise or any of the mama's in the house, kindly screenshot or attach a sample budget sheet here.

Because agents run a business and make their livelihood from that.

Not fair to run down some people's daily income, how would you feel if your line of work is scrapped, or someone says "i dont understand why people need your profession"

Let people make their own decision instead of spoiling some people's handwork

justwise:


Buy directly from the airline because it saves you all sorts of problems, I still don't understand why people buy ticket through agents.

I will advise your wife and child applies first since they are the ones going to stay all through.

You and the second child can apply afterwards because if you all apply together they might think you want to relocate and wont return back.

My two cents, lets hear from the guru's as well.

All the best.

Hello house,

I need your professional input on this. I applied for a student visa sometime in 2005 for my Masters but was denied twice one for Fall term and the other for Spring term. In fact I lost interest in anything traveling out and started my hustles in Naija. I got married in 2012 and my marriage has been blessed all around with two wonderful kids (a boy and a girl).

There has been quantum leap in my finance as I not only manage 3 hotels, I consult for several other hotels and currently co-own a company which is just two years old but doing so well financially. Wifey who is a nurse recently took in for our 3rd baby and we are considering having the baby in US. I've been following this thread and I've been encouraged by the positives and challenged by the negatives on getting a US B1/B2 Visa.

We are considering going for an interview as a family by March ending or first week of April and would need all the encouragement to proceed. While wifey will be going for the medical visa, my kids and I will go for the tourist visa (Note: this is our first travel out of Naija as our vacation has always been in Naija or Ghana). I'll be sponsoring this and have enough financial backing (Bank statement plus fixed deposit). Wifey's aunt in Texas, US wants to provide accommodation and has made arrangements with a doctor in a hospital with a total package not more than 6k for either cs or vag.

Wifey will travel first with my last baby while I intend to meet up with them together with my son close to her EDD as my job is really very demanding. What is your take on this and what chances do we have to get the visa as a family.

I will appreciate some constructive and objective response from the experts in the house. Is there something we can do differently?

Thank you guys...

Delta is the best for a Pregnant woman, at 35wks you are good to go without any documentation as you can travel anytime.

Adding the infant to the mothers ticket not soo cheap but i still prefer them anyday.

Hello everyone, I have come to testify to the goodness of God, the visa application is a purely secular endeavour but before God nothing is secular, God rules in the affairs ( secular activities of men). My wife applied for visa to enable her birth our baby in the US sometimes in Nov 2017 and was refused. The VO had only few questions for her: Where else have you been besides the UAE? ( her answer: No where else) How much do you earn ( she said: less than 150k). Then the blue paper came out, they did not bother to inquire about me, being the sponsor nor look at the various documents she took with her. We decided to try again, this time, I also applied. And the conversation went this way:

VO: What are you going to the in the US
Me: We are going for vacation, family visit and to birth our first child
VO: Where are you going in the US
Wife: South Austin
Me: Interjected: Austin ( my wife was talking about the hospital)
VO: What do you do
Me: I am a lawyer
VO: What year were you called
Me: (mentioned the year)
VO: Which of the law schools did you attend ( this is tricky, a fake lawyer can say Zaria)
Me: ( mentioned the law school)
VO: What you do where you work, is it all legal related
Me: Not entirely, I do other things
VO: Madam what do you
Wife: Interior decorator .. we do bla bla bla bla bla
VO: Have you contacted any Doctor
Me: yes, and I showed him the doctor's correspondence and a proof of the down payment of the hospital bill ( he asked how we got to know
about the doctor and I mentioned the relative living in the city that referred him)
VO: Have you two travelled out of the country before
Me: Yes, we had our honey moon in Dubai last year and I was also in UK last year ( he also asked about when we got married and about my uk
trip. he checked my UK visa which is still valid till February)
VO: Can I have the budget sheet
Me: (Passed it to him and some other VO came to request for his help so he left is desk and later came back)
VO: Let me see your statement of account
Me: ( I handed him my bank statement printed out of my online account and explained that the bank's network was bad yesterday)
VO: How did you pay your initial deposit
Me: I paid through my Sister
VO : where does your sister live
Me: I answered
VO: What does your sister do
Me: I answered
VO: ( Typed for few minutes) Your visas have been approved, ( handed us the white paper)

I earn about 700k but no question came up on that. It may all look good but there is so much that could have gone wrong if God who rules in the affairs of men was not set to help us. The reference to my sister could have led to further discussion about my parents, also American citizens and our ties could have been called to question... and what if I didn't remember the number of dinners or missed it up with the cocktail parties ( we had two of that too). We plan to pay all of our bills as we want to be able to have more babies in the US and visit our family members at will. I wanted that so bad. Glory to God and good luck to others. Saying the truth helped, having sufficient funds to show helped, paying ahead helped, but the mercy of God makes all the difference!!!

Having given back to this community. Please I need advise on the best airline for a pregnant woman and the one that has a convenient arrangement and cheaper cost for adding the baby. Also, we plan for her to travel at 35 weeks is this ok?

Hi Zeenayah,

Congrats on the smooth ride and safe arrival in Chicago.

Didint realise you are just getting into Chicago

Zeenayah:
Hi everyone, jetlag is real o. I still need plenty sleep.
I am not going to use that line. I am really glad this thread as thrived as all I did from July last year when I found the thread was read and read and make all the phone calls I need to.

I left Lagos via Qatar Airways on Saturday (27th) at 33 weeks 5 days. I had submitted my Mediff Form and co at their office on Tuesday because I didn't want stories that touch and they called me that it had been processed same day. After check in, the lady held my boarding pass and said I should go to port health for fit to fly and she hinted that I should just do whatever the woman says.
Port Health lady was forming drama that ehn she can't write more than 32 weeks o because Qatar is very strict o, forming calling her colleagues up and down the place . Hian, no be naija, my husband just dey observe, we gave her extra 1,500 and that was it.

Any Chicago Feb Mum bound?

Please is this Virgin or BA?

Was there need for any documents for the one day visa?

Thanks

doyin2me:




Yes, they do.
If you have long hours before connecting your flight. They have a desk where they issue it .
Entered London without a Visa...got a 1 day visa at the immigration. Went to the hotel slept well and went back to the airport .
Travelled with husband and son .

No you dont need a transit Visa.

You are good to go with your US Visa.

dere5:
Pls do you need a transit visa for France for those that bought delta ticket and had to travel Lagos to Paris on KLM and Paris Atlanta on delta. Pls do let me know.

Applying for the medical Visa is the right thing.

Its a Big No No for me to use your Father In Law's statement.

All the best in your next application.

Hello everyone. I had my interview recently and I was denied. The VO assumed we didn’t have enough funds to cover the trip as DH transferred the money to my account. ( I used my salary account statement which showed my then salary of 186k. I say then because it is now slightly above 200k.) She also didn’t bother to look at my money market statement which also had some funds in it. I want to reapply but I want to clarify a few things.

1. I transferred the money back to DH’s account as I want to carry his statement in addition to mine this time around. We will also be liquidating our fixed deposit and investment accounts to show we can cover the expenses. Would this put us in a better position?

2. My father in law has also offered to give me his boa statement and his dom acct statement as neither I nor DH have any. Is it wise to take up this offer or will it spoil my chances?

Everybody seems to be blaming me for telling the truth and applying for a medical visa as they believed I would have gotten the visa if I had said I was only visiting because I don’t have an obvious belly.

Hello Everyone,

Any Chicago momma leaving mid to ending February in the house?

Please send me a message.

Thank you.

Hello Zeenayah,

I sent a mail request.

Kindly respond.

Thank you very much.

Zeenayah:
Hiya, the best thing to do would be to contact the Dr you want to use to give you the new price or call the hospital, ask to speak to the financial counselor and get the new pricing. I think they call it the Miracle Moments program.

The information I have was at September last year so I dunno if the prices have been reviewed. 5k for normal and 8k for CS (Hospital, Dr X and Epidural only no pediatrician bills etc).
