Thanks a lot for sharing so generously - pls for someone who doesnt want to risk DIY- would you recommend a lawyer or this "myeb2niw.com/shop/"


NotsonewMary:


If you have the extra financial resources for a lawyer, then by all means go for it. The average charge I’ve heard of in recent times has ranged between $3k-4k for the lawyers fees alone!

Alternatively, this process is also something you can put together all by yourself if you do your research very well and you’re ready to put in the work.

Below is a link that could help you to get started;

https://myeb2niw.com/

There is a DIY package on that website that goes for only $150, and trust me when I say that package has ALL that you need to get started and MORE.
N.B. I have no business links or ties with the owner of the website. You can also download the free ebook from the website.

YouTube and the internet generally has many great videos and resources for sample petition letters, recommendation letters and how to properly fill the required form(s) for EB2NIW.

Good luck to you and your spouse!

im considering using an attorney- to maximize the paid consultation- could anyone pls share likely solid questions to ask the attorney to be sure that firm if the most suitable.
pls advice
Helpout12345:


You are right sis.

Another information to share with people going through attorneys is that mode of operations of the attorneys are usually different for this route.

Some attorneys help their clients draft recommendations letters while some don't.

Some attorneys require clients to write own cover letters to them to describe each of the criteria you want to claim among the 10.

Folks should consider this also before retaining an attorney.

Finnalllyyy...I get to give my post as I have been reading and taking notes from page 1. This is because I didnt want to ask questios that has already been addressed.
Thank you to everyone that have TAKEN PRECIOUS TIME to keep the thread going.
I observed that it may be safer to apply for tourist or visit visa while Not pregnant and then get pregnant and arm up with "water tight" documentation and funds and declare intent at POE. Pls correct if this is incorrect, also if I ask a question that has been answered, it must be that I must have missed it. So I had my baby 2018 in USA with B2 declared and shared transcript etc on USA platform. My baby and I have been to S.A and got U.K visa for1 week in November to visit siblings. My husband is a frequent traveler with all valid visas. I'm looking at applying from UK for canada visa not that I am not yet pregnant. Will it increase my chances or speed up duration of the process? Can I start it there and complete in lagos or can it be completed while I am there. Pls gurus, your take on this.

Pls which hospital was convicted of Medicare fraud pls.
Sonone can be well guided.
I used oak bend.. any alarms?



overlord77:


Yea, I feel ya.

It doesn't make sense that a hospital gives one discount and VOs are capitalizing on that as one's crime. They should come up with something else.
Like you said, if the hospital is convicted of Medicaid fraud and demands their full payment afterwards, that'd make sense than calling them up to request you want to pay the balance given to you in form of a discount.

Anyway, like I said earlier. Let's those trying to renew their visas pipe down for now and give it a while, US elections are coming up pretty soon. For intending mothers, try Canada or some place else. Cheers

Pls what's the definition of lumpsum?
Do I have to explain N20? N50? 100k-200k?
Or is it any amount above my monthly earning?
Pls help clarify so I dont explain every little dime and make the cover letter too long
Pls help


quote author=DMainMan post=80446710]


(no subject)



Your monthly salary income must not be twice your proposed trip.

So your budgeted amount should be less than N549780.

According to Oanda, which is what UK Home office use, https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/,

1200 pounds is N537,806

The budget for your trip for 1200 pounds.

Return flight budget is okay. 555.49 pounds

Budget for feeding. 50 pounds per day. 50 times 8: 400 pounds.

Taxi and transport from airport to your destination: 60 pounds

Taxi and transport from destination to airport when going back home: 60 pounds

One week bus ticket within city transport: 20 pounds

Shopping and Miscellaneous: 104.51 pounds.

This gives 1200 pounds. In addition, your sister should include her passport, documents, tenancy agreement and utility bill. In her letter of invitation, she should clearly state that she is responsible for your accommodation and that you and your baby will live with her in her house.

You also need to submit your vital documents such as cover letter stating reason you are traveling and state the above budget there and that you are returning back to Nigeria. Also include in your cover letter that you will be living with your sister in her accommodation that she has offered you to stay there for free. Include your employment letter, letter from company approving your travel stating the day you at travelling and the day you will return to Nigeria, proof of home ties such as land. Consent letter from your husband stating that he allows and you will return to Nigeria (state the date of travelling to the UK and return to Nigeria).

In your bank statement, your monthly salary must be reflected. Any huge money and unusual money you lodge in your account should be accounted for and explained in your cover letter.

Include birth certificate of your baby, and marriage certificate to proof relationship of your baby and your husband.

Good luck.[/quote]

Hello mums,
Sorry not being following the thread after delivery, trying to bounce back.
Pls what's this update on trump's ban against birth citizenship for mums.
Is there any such thing? Pls can someone refer me to the facts of what happened and what consequences this poses for intending mums traveling to birth and return?
I truly appreciate



iwuoahsamuels:
Below are the list of documents I attended my interview with- aka “burden of proof”
mutual benefit statement
Personal savings account
Salary acount statement
Pension statement
1 year payslips
Letter of introduction from employer stating how long I have worked , my destination and that I’d be on paid vacation from the month of travel
Preggy scan
Marriage certificate and court affidavit of change of names
Marriage picture
Budget sheet (attached in previous post)
Tax I’d
Hospital correspondence showing bill(unpaid)
Doc correspondence showing date of first appointment and bill(unpaid)
Correspondence from hotel (unpaid)
Drivers license
Hubby valid visa page datapage

That’s what I can recall, will check and add more when I’m home to check the files, some of those documents may not apply to u or u may not need it but I always believe to be “over-prepared” than miss a thing.
All the best

If the letter you're referring to is the one from your employer, I don't think that is an issue. The letter should be addressed to UK High Commission, and it is located at Walter Carrington, VI. The Visa Application Center (VAC), is different from UK High Commission.

Giddyperson:

Just buy a sippy cup, buy a good one with straw like the one in the picture, they are easier to drink from instead of all those ones you have to bend or pull and squeeze. At one, he should be able to eat what you eat, with less pepper. Try amala with ogbono, ripe plantain porridge, unripe plantain porridge, yam or potato porridge, rice, beans, moimoi, fried overripe plantain with egg saice. Still mash most of his food a bit or make them as soft as possible, it makes feeding easier. Try everything and stick to the ones he likes. Feed him with plate and spoon.

....
