Tips For Birthing in the USA

1. If you already have a B visa, you are advised to write a Notification/Change of Intent email to the embassy(If you declared your intent to give birth in USA during your the visa interview then you don't need to send a letter to the embassy) but if you have withheld this info during the visa interview then letter of intent is not a shortcut.

Use these addresses
LagosNIV@state.gov and /or
Consularabuja@state.gov

This correspondence and the reply is carried by the traveler to the point of entry (POE)
*For the format of the said letter, kindly use the search button on top or below this page and key in the key words. You will have to search until you see the info which has been posted by several users.

2. If you do not have a visa, apply for a B1/B2 Medical visa. Go with evidence to show that you have a hospital,doctor and funds to cover accommodation, medical treatment and any other incidences. (This is popularly referred to as' Burden of proof' on this thread). You may go with the complete cash for your stay. This is preferable but not a must too prove you are capable of paying your bills and provide a smoother poe experience.
For more details , use the search button and follow the already highlighted step for search.
* Both successful and unsuccessful visa applicants have posted their transcripts. It will be of great benefit to you to go through the thread and learn. Nobody will repost for you again.

3.The decision on a choice of hospital is dependent on several factors. Cost of treatment I.e hospital, doctor's fees, epidural, NICU etc with cost of accommodation and Flight to your final destination .

Use the search button to search for locations visited and used by previous mothers. This is a Do it yourself thread and it is only courteous to search out info already freely posted for future users and not ask people to repost again.

4. At the POE, you are expected to go with your burden of proof and be well prepared to answer questions to avoid deportation. Note : It is not a crime to birth in the US. It is a crime however if you conceal this fact from your visa officer (VO) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This act is considered misrepresentation and can result in deportation and cancellation of visa and sometimes a ban.

5. After birthing. Kindly pay ALL your bills and ALL your baby/ies' bills. Do not accept medicaid. Although your Child acquires automatic citizenship, it is presumed you were not allowed on the shores of America to add to their financial/Tax burdens.

6. After birthing , you follow the steps for getting a US passport, Nigerian passport/Visa /Travel documents for your child.
If your child's travel document is his international passport, you require a dual way ticket.

1. Cost - $270 plus $20 for post office or $30 for FedEx

- 2 passport photos of baby.

greeners222:
Thanks for the quick response. Errmmmm you know the UK letter goes for example
The Consular
12, Walter Carrington
Victoria Island
Bla bla bla
So I've got a cousin who wanted to address to France embassy in Lagos but we don't know where to address that to. We don't know if we should just put the new address in Lekki. My cousin wanted to apply a France tourist visa. Is not the letter I want you to help with but where to address it to. Thanks

If the application will be made in Lekki then address it to Lekki or Abuja if the application will be made there.

Ok, then you need to meet the requirement as an individual even as you are accompanying your sister, you still have to proof your tie to Nigeria just as you will do if you are the main applicant.

greeners222:

bubsykay:
Thank you for the response sir! There is a dependent visa they do give to families of post graduate students (msc/phd), which allows them to stay with their spouse and permit them to work unlike the general visiting visa. Any idea?

All the info you need is here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-dependants-of-uk-visa-applicants-tiers-1-2-4-5 and here https://www.gov.uk/tier-4-general-visa/family-members

bubsykay:
@ justwise and other gurus in the house! Please I will like to know: if the spouse visa application process/ appeal I'm seeing here is the same when the principal is a graduate student and the wife wants to go meet him? thank you.

No, that is visiting visa

He is a national of south america to be precise ( Argentina). His passport is genuine and no doubt.

Ok.

He should give it a go and see what happens, there is no way to know what they have on file against him.

Davdar:
Thanks so much Justwise, God bless you. Please what do you think about our chances of winning the case and roughly how long does it take?

I wouldn't say that your chances are low because the refusal wasn't on a very strong point, appeal takes average of 6 months but if you have a good case you could be called before hearing date to submit your passport for visa.

muteEcho:
As always, you have spoken well Sire. @Justwise
People will be doing 'overKaKu'.

What does that mean? Never seen that combination before

chukyrooy:
Hello Profs and everybody.
Been reading a lot and i must say that i am very thankful for the job you guys a doing here.

my situation is I have been a regular Uk and US traveller, I got my 5 years visa renewed in 2010 and its supposed to expire next month. however in 2013 i got a student visa to study for my MSc. I just returned last year.
My younger sisters graduation is in December and my whole family wants to attend. we would like to apply for a 2 year instead.
My dad insisted that since he is the one sponsoring the family and we making it as a family application he would use his account and frankly i do not have a problem with it because my account is not in the best shape due to irregular salary payments deductions etc. i also work as a civil servant in a fed govt parastatal. and earn almost 300k

my question is
1. apart from letter of introduction, leave letter, appointment letter, posting letter do i also need to submit my ID card and letter from the accounts department confirming my salary ?
2. I would not be submitting my account statement to avoid rejection due to irregularities on my salary payment and the low balance due to other commitments. hope my job details is enough ties to my home country.
3. my five years visa will expire late next month and we want to schedule the interview for this month. hope thats not a problem?

Thank you guys.

1. Like FrontPageLawyer pointed out you need to submit your ID but letter from your account dept is not needed.

2. You have to submit your salary account and explain any irregularities

3. No its not a problem

Davdar:
Hello Justwise
Yes I did print the whatsapp chat, added calling cards and he also added the calling cards he has been using to call me. I added receipts of all the money I transfered to him before and after marriage but they said the chat should be more and the pictures were taking during my holidays. They also said the calling cards are readily in Ghana and can be bought at secondhand. These are their reasons. Please I can mail it to you if on ur personal email to go through if is ok. I need advice has to what to do next.

Thank you

You can appeal the decision within 28days of refusal then add more documents if you were unable to add them in the initial application

@ Justwise
Usually most visa free countries to the uk are for six months visit. He overstayed for 7 years and voluntarily went back home. He was not served any banned or given any restrictions on his passport, neither was his ´passport checked by immigratioins. After three years since he left the uk, he's planning again to come and visit his son who is now 4 years old. Do you think he would have any problem on point of entry into the uk or any E.U countries?
Thank you

True that.

Is he really from South Africa and holding genuine passport?

PedigreeCity:
Hello house ,

What are you doing currently in Nigeria?

Winso26:
Thanks all for your time and contributation, expecially @Justwish, Lexusgs430 and Portsmouth86. I am very grateful as God has done a miraculous work. I got this email from Sheffield visa section today:

"The decision to refuse your visa application has been overturned and our office is now ready to issue you a UK Visa. To complete this process we require that you submit your passport to our office at:

International Operations & Visas
Sheffield Visa Section
Vulcan House Iron, 4th Floor
6 Millsands
Sheffield
S3 8NU

It is recommended that an international courier is used to submit your passport.

You will also need to provide a valid TB certificate as you will not be allowed entry to the UK without this."

This means I don't need to bother myself with the lawyer.
Thank you all, I am so happy right now.

Great! Congratulations!

@justwise, lexusgs430 or anyone with good information can you help with advise on this case.

Just had my Settlement Application denied on Monday 5th October. the ECO denied on the financial requirement of my spouse.

We applied based on the Category B, 5.3.9 of the Financial guidelines on pg. 25. ECO said he won't take into consideration her previous work in Nigeria because it ended 3 days after the 12months window she's expected to have been in employment outside the UK.

We have now collected payslip from her previuos employer in Nigeria which countered the ECO assumption that she was on Fully paid 3 months maternity leave after the date the ECO said her employment ended in Nigeria.

She had our son in the UK in June 2014 and left Nigeria same June 2014, the ECO who i guess believed since she returned to UK since June 2014 then her employment ended in June 2014.

She has done 4month work with an Agency in the UK at £100/day at the time I applied in July 3rd 2015 so was earning like £2000/month gross at that time.

The ECO refusal was based on his assumption that her previous work ended June 2014 and not September 2014.

We have contacted the MP in the area And he has forwarded our request for review to the home office, his PA has been helpful so far.

Wanna ask if I should go ahead to lodge an appeal straight on mindful of the 28days I have to Appeal or wait till the outcome of the Review Request by the MP is concluded. Thanks for the pleasant job you and other guys 're doing here.

You have a strong case but if i were you i will wait for the outcome of the MP's intervention because that will be quicker, appeal may take ages.

Keep your eyes on the 28days duration so as to act just in case the review delays
