Actually I did not read the post but I think the girl has no right to slap her boyfriend in public. Maybe they should report the issue to their village elders but if the neighbours refuse to pay the rent, they should just kill the landlord and forget about the missing car.

lol. And u said dat u dint not read it. You must be a modern day native doc cos ur response is on point. Good sense of humor.

Here is how the interview went
Vo- gm
Both replied - gm
Vo - passports please
Vo - why do u wanna travel to the us
Me - to have our baby
Vo - which state ?
Me - Michigan
Vo - what do you do
Me - told her my occupation . Wanted to explain am almost done with Nysc but she just said ohh ok
Vo - asked my husband what he does too
He answered
Vo - asked hubby what his company does
DH - answered
VO -how long
We answered , me 3 months , him 4 weeks
Vo - asked how I knew about the hopistal
Me - told her thru extensive research and spoke with the doctor and am satisfied with my findings
Vo - do u have a doctor's correspondence
Me - handed the paper to her . The paper is from the doctor only indicated his fees
Vo - is this al[/b]l
Me - answered yes
Vo - [b]do u have a budget prepared
Me - I Dnt but I know all wat I budget to do
Vo -types types types
Handed blue letter .
So I Presumed it's because the letter didn't carry hospital fees . And because I didn't present a budget. Pls any advise on what to do before I areapply? I have a mail from the hospital now explaining their fees. With the same letter , would that suffice? Thank u

Search for a sample budget sheet here and get a comprehensive doc/hospital correspondences where you have all their cost details and re-apply, I feel you will be fine.

Richards08:


Yea, we never thought about it. If it were money, we can afford it. Sorry for my words. However, it was later we got to know that Chicago poe is a no-no. I just hope they issue d visa asap, we're running out of time.

So sorry about all the stress. This is very scary ooo. Was her first visa obtain for birthing or just visit? is this present visa pending one undergoing AP obtain for birthing as well?

baldman:
My Sis Visa got in through Visa Lottery, and later filed for my parents. They are all naturalized now. Thanks for your interest

See 2 comments below of Babatwi advice. There is no hard and fast rule to that.

I earn a little over half a million per month ( working with an indigenous company) My wife earns about 120k. My parents live in the US ( aged) as well as my elder sister ( different homes). [b]What are our chances from the finances point of view? Thanks in anticipation of your wise guidance

Finances point of view = okay. Your family abroad, how did they get there? That is also wat u need to consider and also other ties back home.

diranseun:
Good day. Pls I need your advice on my issue. Had a successful interview in June and after that we realized wife was 10 weeks pregnant. (we were not sure because of some pills she used which the doctor said could affect her monthly period. This is our first issue after 5 years of coming together). The issue now is that the visa is tourist visa and no question about pregnancy was asked during interview. We have the plan of giving birth in US and how due date is November. How do you think we can go about it to avoid being turned back. Also, we plan to stay in an hotel in Houston. Please your candid advise would be appreciated.

Good day diranseun,

VO said something about your issue. It will save you alot of hurt if you go to the first page and read it up yourself cos the moderator pushed it to the first page. There is no point letting pple do mathematics on top of your matter, since this is your first issue after 5 years of marriage, it is natural that pills might distort your wife's normal circle, even the VOs are not this judgemental but as you know, nobody will determine your outcome in the end except the responsible officers. We are all here to say our bit.

In summary, chose btw this two options the one that your risk appetite can carry as contained on the VO's input.

Option 1, get yourself equiped with all documentations for giving birth eg, doc correspondences, plenty cash and convincing power at POE and travel.

Option 2, Fill anther form, schedule another interview and explain yourself better to the VO still equip with all documentations including budget sheet and above all, please put God first.

Congrats.

Please if it is a credit card he is using to pay, note that some airlines might request to see said credit card or want to speak to the owner. (This happened to my bro but outside naija so I dnt know)

Okay, Thnks for the heads up

Babatwi:


Yes,your ticket can be bought in the US,if it's cheaper for you and you find someone willing

Thanks Babatwi. Let me go ahead then.

Good day everyone,

just to find out if it is possible for my host to book my return ticket from America, he told me that tickets are cheaper compare with the price I am seeing here.

Kindly assist if you have any idea or implication. Thanks

mymy2015:
Hello House, the cost of tickets to travel mid august is not smiling at all. The cheapest I am getting is Qatar, and I currently have one booking on hold but need to decide asap. Now my question is how is the travel experience with Qatar Airlines? How true is it that immigration in Doha is harsh esp to preggas? plan is to travel at 34 wks 6 days, is this ok? considering it doesn't fall into 36 weeks as described on their website? Considering the current controversies facing them, anyone that has recently used Qatar airlines can you please help me out.

Sup, I am seeing tickets of N522k from ABJ - Dallas/Houston from icarrygo website for mid Aug (United Airline and Luftansa)

MizKay1:
Good Morning,

So I got my B1/B2 visa. Never lied at the interview. I was just asked if i was going on holiday and about my work. I said yes.

Travelling to have my baby was never even on the plan until a few weeks ago due to need for better medical attention and I was not satisfied with the hospital i was using even though i had changed hospitals twice. and asides that my MIL who would ordinarily help out has been in the US for a while now and asked that i come rather than be here without help as she wont be able to make it down to Nigeria before my EDD due to the fact that she is undergoing treatment.

I was searching for something else and i stumbled on this platform. So after reading extensively, i called the embassy and asked if i could have my baby in the US tho i didnt state earlier, they asked for my passport details to verify. The lady who answered me said she could not give information as regards that but referred me to the CBP website to read up on the risks.
Do you think i have complicated the situation by calling the embassy?
Kindly advise.
I have all my funds and have booked a Dr's appointment.

Thank you.

Sup,
Check the Abujaniv post on page 261, the post will ans your questions and clear all doubts.

Blackgolden:
Iong post alert:

In the spirit of giving back, I'd like to share my experience at the dreaded Houston POE. Even though I feel hurt that since I join this forum, the 2 post I had posted for inquiries have been deleted, and I really don't why.
It's all good, cos I still was diligent in reading the threads and equipping myself.

Congrats! I am also an Oct mum coming to Dallas but cannot leave till in Mid Aug. Pls can u confirm what the hospital bill is for CS as I also intend to use the hospital if it is cheaper than Medical Centre of Plano.

Mamaah:
Hi everyone, I need an advise, during my visa interview when I was asked which state I was going to , I told the VO I was going to Chicago
Now my plans have changed, I will be heading to Houston and yes my intention of giving birth was disclosed during the interview.

I'm just wondering if the change of state will not affect me at POE, if such question comes up what do I say?

Kindly advise.

Thanks

You also have the option of renewing your visa 6months b4 the expiring date if you want to play safe. Anyone that will make you sleep well at night!

modelmike7:
Wailers, bring it on.........

Why u keep quiet, keeping challenging pple here and defending your presdo, as u no dey like truth.

naijaboy756:
Pls while paying for the visa in GTB for vacation is it B or B1 or B2

Pardon my question pls. I am in the bank now and need urgent clarification pls

Pay for B1/B2. it goes together.

uzyfine:
I also don't understand it myself but that was what they sent to me via email, about the qater yes Poe is dallas and I paid like 558k for flexible ticket

I dont think that there is any cause for alarm, since you will be in Dallas early, just go and negotiate, U can also get other hospitals with better offer. I will be coming in mid - end of Aug. Like Qatar dont fly from Abuja. I reside in Abuja, checked no flight from Abj - Dallas.

uzyfine:
I had to settle for qater airline. I try to get a quote from Baylor Carrollton it was difficult as they told me they don't have a package for cs twin but later she said the estimates are 15 to 30k for me then 5 to 10k for each of my babies. I really don't know what to do now, am scheduled to travel 3 Ed week of June. Pls house any i deal of another hospital in Dallas for twin birth that will not cut my neck

Babes this bill high and not clear. If you intend renting an apartment, I think Houston will be cheaper for you as adviced below. I used Medical Centre of Plano in 2015 but I dont think that their bill will be this high for multiple.

I also strongly believe that u can get a better deal if you go there urself and pay upfront. meanwhile how much is qatat airline and is their POE in Dallas DFW?

Diapearl:
Good Morning all the very good people of this thread. Please dont eat me raw even if i mistakenly step on your toes by asking what i am about to ask. i just need help. i had a child in the US in 2015 and my( including my hubyy's and daughter's) visa expired January 2017. my International passport expired as well and while renewing it i decided to do a name change to my marital name, meanwhile my previous passport and visa bore my maiden name. Now, i want to renew my visa and dont know how best to go about it inorder to be successful. Please dearies, has anyone been in my situation before or has an idea on what to do? Please @Justwise and other guru's help. Thanks in advance.

Sup, there is really no big deal about the name, from ur info, u and your family qualify for dropbox, all u need to do is while feeling the DS160 form, your maiden name will serve as named previously used while your marital name will be the current one. While submitting your document, you need to submit both passports cos they usually request for current passport and previous passport with already issued US visa.
my 2cents.

Hamdat55:


Anyway thanks. I wasn't really sure I saw the question but I saw it when filling mine so I thought I must have ticked no.

travel history and school attended applies to only male form. Sure u have a file copy, go thru it, u may have not made any mistake after all.

biolarh:
pls house my interview is in a weeks time and I need reply frm the gurus in the house,in the correspondence sent to my husband the total bill is 2200doll for cs(office visit,all lab work done,ultra sound,delivery and postpartum visit).pls if asked by the VO how much is my bugdet.will I just add my accommodation fee with the doctor fee,feeding fee and all other expensive

Contact the hospital/Doc to confirm if the 2200 is only Doc's fees or inclusive of hospital fees. Usually there is Doctor's fee which is about the amount you quoted and there is also hospital fees which is given at the hospital.

reniduke:
Justwise ku ise ooo. So the posts that needed deleting are plenty like this. I hope there's a salary inside this your work oooo.

I came late, but my observation is that peeps were fighting about something that did not exist. weda in your office the HR works one way and in another's office the HR works another way, point is, the madam that asked the question says she has already told them she's preggy and that's her situation at work. So Biko how is arguing on NL about it going to undo it?

Toh! make i just they watch this NL nollywood film, im sure there will be part 2 with Shawbabe or Twoods in the lead role. *buys popcorn* for NL game of thrones.

Laugh don carry me go another street. Shebi na d-same pple way say na fraud to conceal to the VO dat you are pregnant is now telling you not to tell your HR that u are pregnant even when they dont know what is in place at their workplace.

uzyfine:
pls which hospital will u use in Dallas and what are the quotes am considering Baylor Scott and white Carrollton but yet to contact them

sup dear, I am also considering Baylor Scott and white Carrollton based on someone's quote here. I also intend to travel early and see if I can get a better option.

Pls let me know if u find an affordable ticket. When are u planning ur trip? We are 3 in this trend heading to Dallas almost same time.

iamnikky69:

Thanks a lot for ur answer. One more thing...Pls does this correspondence include any other thing apart from the price quotations from the doctor? Cos that's all he sent to me.

sup dear, the one I used in 2015 had d maximum time an international pregy Momma is accepted at d hospitals, d test they accept and their price quote.

Though details were written by d doc on d body of d email while the quote was sent as an attachment.

they all make up d correspondence.

My renewal was via drop box so i just contacted d hospital dat I used to send me their bill dat I intend to use at Poe.
