Hi justwise. Where some one with an existing visa which has been used for the purpose it was gotten for gets pregnant along the line, and applies for another visa in other to clearly declare intention but gets denied, what becomes the status of the pre existing visa?

Such application is it via dropbox or what?
Can such a person be denied at all?
Is there a legal way to declare intention without applying for another visa? Since change of intent letter don't seem to carry much weight again?

The VO has addressed this issue here before and i refer you to it.

Hello. We don’t normally post in this thread, but it seemed worthwhile to drop in and correct some misconceptions. We say this a lot, but it bears repeating: Birth tourism is legal in the US provided the applicant is open about their intention and pays the medical expenses in full. This means that the applicant should declare any such intention they have at the Embassy/Consulate and again at the port of entry.

If it happens that the applicant gets pregnant well after the initial visa interview, they will have the opportunity to make their intention, medical preparations and financial resources known at the POE. However, it will remain up to Customs and Border Patrol whether to allow that applicant into the country. Some are not, and they are put on the next flight home. This must be extremely uncomfortable for a heavily pregnant person, to spend 15-20 hours on a flight to America, several more hours being questioned, then another 15-20 hours on a plane home. This is what we want to avoid.

Onto some other misconceptions:
The concept of the “change of intent” letter is not valid. These e-mails are not read nor correlated with the applicant’s file. Some people who send such letters may get a form letter in response, but it is informational in nature and in no way confers permission to amend the declared purpose of travel. What matters is what you declare at the Embassy/Consulate and at the POE. After the fact e-mails do not carry any weight.

Some applicants say, “I applied for only the B2 visa to declare my medical intent.” The B1/B2 visa categories are conjoined, so applying for only one does not make any difference. Other applicants say, “I appeared at the window with a big belly,” as if this alone is enough to declare their medical intent. Again, the responsibility is on the applicant to be honest about what they plan to do in the US.

Other considerations:
Medical care is expensive in the US, and costs can escalate dramatically if there are complications.
Credibility is paramount in the US visa process. If visa officers detect any deception or obfuscation, no amount of excuses, documents or receipts will make up for the loss of credibility.

The choice is yours.

In the spirit of giving back, my visa got approved. Few weeks back, I asked about paying money into my account. Some people bluntly said No. I follow my instincts went ahead to pay the money. As Far, there’s inflow and outflow of transactions. I think you are good to go.
All I submitted at tls Abuja was
Introduction letter
Pay slip
Leave letter from my company
Statement of account
I applied along with my sister who is sponsoring the trip.

When was that?

blank:
Probably. It's either furnished accommodation or unfurnished. Maybe added perks?

You really believed that this guy rented a pad at the cost of £800 plus a month with only cooker on it? A student accommodation?

hodari:
Wetin consign me sef. Weder you believe it or not that's your own wahala. By the way, I don travel today to a place called Steyning in West Sussex. In the heart of onyibo countryside where they breed Shetland horses. Old money. I'm sure you've never travelled to such a place. You're just managing Peckham and Lewisham small.

..yea neither do i rent fridge and microwave to avoid buying my own

kaakaa:
@justwise and nerfetitiram, ayam not understanding your point pls,,,,

From you respose to @ramj are you saying if i find a good hospital with awesome self pay package, i shouldnt come and share here so that agents wont use it? What of the non agents it will help?....i dont get it please.... or did i miss the point?

Don't place a free ad for hospitals here, the same way you researched and got those deals let others do the same.

Its not fair on companies that paid to place an ad here while other companies are getting a free ride.

hodari:
You're still carrying this fridge matter for head like gala bah Wetin be your own, oga park well jor. And for the LAST time, why should I buy these stuff when it's cheaper to rent? I'm leaving here by August, 2018.

This is what happens when stories dosn't add up

blank:
He is probably in student accommodation. Some of these new fangled student buildings offer stuff like that.

You will struggle to find any student accommodation in the UK where they rent fridge and microwave.

hodari:
My pad came with only a cooker fitted in and I don't cook anyways. I had to rent or buy the rest of the equipment. Takeaway every night tends to raise the bills, not to mention grocery shopping and warm clothes as well. You know Richmond na. Anyway sha, you are implying that for one to live in the UK you must lower your standards, abi? Isn't that proving the OPs point?

This UK is hell on earth. After my masters I'll go back the next day after graduation. I'd rather move to saner African countries like Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, etc than stay in Onyiboland ever again.

I don't know if i should believe you.

You don't cook but at the same time you buy grocery? How exactly do you rent fridge, microwave and washing machine the UK?

Weperwema:
@All ....Hello everyone in the house...pls I have peculiar case and I need urgent response.My wife is due for B1/B2 visa interview this week and we claim to be travelling on Christmas vacation together because I already have visa.Pls advise because we intend that she give birth by February 2018 in US and we may not likely go in December if given the visa because we need enough funds for the possible delivery in February. Does she have to tell the V.O(without been asked) that she is presently pregnant and intends to have the baby next year in the US possibly after the Christmas vacation which we are not likely to?since they say notice of change of intention is not relevant.....

Yes.

hodari:
Mr. man which UK? Is it not the same one that I'am staying?

Rent-£ 850 pcm
Internet (BT)-£30
Phone (EE) -£15
Tube (Oyster)-£161.84 monthly.
Renting fridge, microwave, washing machine & drier-£40
Utilities (SSE)-£150
Shopping-£400
Drycleaning-£30

That's a total of £1700 (almost 800,000 Naira!) And that's a very modest student lifestyle ooo, assuming you stay locked up in your crib with no enjoyment whatsoever.

To be honest, people are just managing in this fcukd up place.

Speechless, rented a room in the UK without fridge, microwave and washing machine already there?

£400 on shopping alone? You need to be flogged

I love M & S food shopping. If you want to eat classic and class, shop at M & S Food hall.........

Over priced goods, not for me

coolsegun2002:
Oga just wise abeg no vex...I've searched the thread though not throughly. .its hard to be looking for one specific information in a 200+ page thread.
I just wanna know if it's OK to use fixed deposit account to apply for UK tier 4 visa...weda if it's popsy's account or my younger brother's account if yes how do we go about it..cos the balance in the account is not up to 2m now cos the deposit booked since August and it usually rolls over once it ends
or should we just go and liquidate it... because popsy no wan loose the interest and so that we can start counting the 28day wahala.
even if he will move the funds to my brother can my brother run a fixed deposit with it for 30days and still apply for vis with it.thanks

You did not read this thread at least the first page or even the UKBA link i provided there

Post this in USA student visa thread

Post this in appropriate thread here

ACE1010:
I think this also apply to Nigerians living in UK. But don't blame them for their rant, blame it on ignorance. I used to think like them when I was in UK. It's total rubbish!! Why, if you may ask? 75% of their monthly income goes for rent alone and this is just a room for God sake!!
I dey here dey laugh

That is just a careless lie and i know it.

centboy123456:
how much do u think that will take to the US

ameh99:
Come to Kaduna leme give you correct 2bedroom with all fitted tiles and water for 250k

No thanks, not even for 1K

fleetfeet:
I got a massive 3 bedroom flat (well finished with light, running water, fenced and all) in. Cool residential area in Oyo State for 120k. In shomolu, ketu, ebutte metta and co u can get flats for 250 so let that argument go.

So you are earning 80K a month and living in 2bedroom flat worth 250K? Does that make any financial sense?

UKmigrant:
I did some grocery shopping for the week ahead...

If you have started shopping in poundland then you manage your credit card well

If you want to know the difference visit Mark & Spencer

Whoever took that awful picture also need to be arrested and the camera or phone smashed

Olatara:
What do u mean?

I'm referring to those agreeing with the op

seniorkachion:
I live in a suburban town 30 minutes drive from umuahia and l pay 7k for a newly built 2 bedroom flat. Front and back doors are both steel. Parlour 14x12,dinning 8x10,bedrooms 10x11,kitchen same,bathroom 7x6.8 aluminum windows ,front outside has German floor but no fence. I earn 60k,my wife 30k.

That is a typical village then, i came from Abia and any town 30mis away from umuahia is just a village You are paying too much even.

I thought you were going to tell me about Lagos Abuja or even umuahia township

timesup234:
Even someone earning 2500 usd before tax in America has a room mate while someone earning 80k in nigeria can afford to rent a two bedroom flat if he chooses to move out of his father's house.

Two bedroom flat in which village in Nigeria?

timesup234:
It is the plain truth. It is impossible to save 10kusd annually in the united states, even those with a paying job of $75,000 cant save that much. Do you know what it means to have $100,0000 in cash in america? 85% of americans dont have it and i am even talking about first class citizens

timesup234:
Point out the lies and lets engage in an elderly manner

That is lies because its absolutely possible to save 10K a year when you earn 75K

UKmigrant:
So I am finally begining to settle into my new job. I have had my orientation, IT training, gotten a smartcard to access the organisation's records relevant to my work and have also gotten my ID card which doubles as a security door pass. I am in the part of England known as East Anglia, it is a beautiful place, layed back and free of the congestion and razzmatazz of London. I deliberately chose this place for many reasons, some being what the organisation is offering me and the low cost of living in this region. If I don't like it after a while, I might decide to move to get a position in a bigger city, but for now I am loving every bit of it.

Everyone around here seems nice and ready to help. This region of England is dominated by whites/natives unlike big cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester. I have managed to meet a few Nigerians though and other African nationals.

I am staying at a temporary accommodation arranged by my employer and I've already started meeting agents to get a small place for myself close to my work. They all require some form of deposits and references. Working on that...

Its a good idea for a start, very conservative area in England and quite.

You will enjoy it even more if you are an introvert

Nice to see a thread where like minded Nigerians gathered together to lie to themselves.

Ramj:
..

More than enough info do you really mean that... Where in the world do you get to that...

If enough info has been shared then why not lets close this thread

It seems you are not just getting the point.

It's open for people who are not lazy to read to benefit from invaluable resources here.

DisGuy:
I think it's mainly about how credit is built/calculated in different countries.... lets not too get personal

Seems in USA everything is tied to the credit card, whilst in EU you can get finance or credit directly from the seller

You can buy car/furniture/high cost items from a dealer and he will provide the finance... that counts towards your profile, same way your income/regular wages, you expenses and incomings
You can rent a car without credit cards what that about lol you're just paying> got a car in Texas for two days with just a debit card

Exactly!!

signature2012:
Yes.At bolded,if that is the only reason for getting it,is really worth it a million times.

You will get mortgage in the UK without credit card as long as you have the deposit.

maternal:
You can't book a hotel here with a debit card. Credit card also have fraud protection. These are backdoor/ 2nd class methods.

..maybe that is American or Canadian thing but here you can book with debit card with no problem at all.
