Blackgolden:
I just sent it to you.

Thank you so much ma

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.

I got my visa on a vigin passport in Feb 2017 and didn't know I was pregnant until weeks later, and when asked by the Vo then I said I wasn't. Was doing research online and bumped on this platform, where I keenly followed the Change of Intent info. I sent my change of intent sometime in April as I was planning to travel in June. Got the reply..."I'm not obligated to tell them, but be able to prove at POE I can handle my bills etc"

To cut the long story...Got to the airport(Abuja) June 4 while checking in at Lufthansa, the lady asked if I was pregnant I said yes, she asked if I had my fit to fly, I said yes, she said I'll need the port healthy cert. I told her I'm only 22 weeks and according to their online info, I wouldn't need that except from 35weeks, she insisted. I went to the portal and the lady said it was 2k, I said I thought it was 1k5, she said no, I just gave her the 2k. She took my temperature and BP and gave me the receipt.
Finished everything and we took off by 10:20pm for Frankfurt. Food was horrible- I begin purge for plane. Thank God I sat close to the lavatory. 4hrs layover and we were Houston bound - I no gree chop again, just asked for their dry bread, butter with Coke.

Landed at Houston June 5 around 1:30pm US time (just like I read here) target one young innocent looking CBP guy and stayed on his queue...

CBP- Good afternoon ma'am, passport plz?
Me- Good afternoon (hands it)
Cbp- why are you in the US
Me- Vacation and Childbirth
(looking a bit disoriented and was signalling for a colleague)
Cbp- How long are you staying
Me- 5months
Me - I have made some deposit at the hospital and I have correspondence with my doctor.
Cpb- plz let me have them. (Still calling his colleauge)
Me- (hands them to him)
At this time the colleague comes and he explains to him- This is her 1st time in the US and she plans to give birth, these are correspondence with her doctor and deposit receipt...
Cbp2 - who will you be staying with
Me- my sister in Dallas.
Cbp2 - Are you giving birth in Dallas
Me- Yes, Baylor Scott and White Hospital is also in Dallas.
Cbp2- during your interview, did you start this intention?
Me- no, because I didn't know at the time, but I sent a change of intent letter (reaching for the reply) and this was the reply I got.
He takes his time to read it and hands it back.
Cbp2 - I see you have paid $1000 deposit, how much is everything going to cost u?
Me- about $6k5
Cbp2 - V or Cs
Me- V.
Cbp1- I see you have $8k5 with you.
Me- yes, should I show you.
Cbp2- yes, but be careful, you don't want to call any attention to yourself.
Showed them in my purse
Cbp2- all 100bills
Me- yes.
CBP 2- How did you get all this cash
Me- part of my savings from salary and most from my husband.
Cbp2- is your husband joining you
Me- yes, much later
Cbp1- what do you do?
Me- Program and Communications Officer with....
Cbp1- Your husband?
Me- He is bleep bleep at.....
Cbp1- plz place your fingers on the machine
CBP2- make sure you keep all your receipt, cos we will request for it the next time you come. Also, do not accept any medicare here cos it will affect you visa and return to the states.
Welcome to the US (CBP1 was stamping my passport already)

Went to find my United Airline for my connecting flight to Dallas Forth Worth. After plenty delay, I reach home finially.

A word of advice - be confident and carry plenty money.

Ps: Don't blame your family, friends and relatives abroad. They dont have the info you want because they don't need it (their life na easy one as citizens), and you have to politely educate them, before you become Mrs know know and oversabi for their own country. My sisters will tell me, "we no know ooo", do your research and we will help you verify here.

many thanks to everyone who has contributed on this platform . Your experiences has help naive JJC like me. We're expecting our baby 1St week in October. First appointment is this weekend. Keep us in your prayers.

Okay,, Thanks.

Femi there is a way you can update your CGI appointment when you long into it you can change your DS 160 to the recent or new one you created. It happen to me I mistakenly fill 16 pages to my passport page instead of 32 pages Passport. So I fill a new D's 160 then Sign on my CGI appointment platform I choose update profile and I delete the old D's 160 and put the new one then reprint the Appointment page with the new DS 160 number on it.

Good day House, To God be the Glory Our Visa was Approved today. Am a silent reader and my Testimonies is FULL. I was denied F1 Visa 3 times within 6months in 2012 and tried Canada student Visa too and was denied 3 times too So I decide to travel to South Africa in 2015 for 10days. After then I Got married this year July . Today me and My Wife US visa was approved this is how it goes

To God be the Glory.
The bottom line what you fill in your DS 160 is 80% of your Interview. Most of what he asked us is in Ds 160 he just want to be sure we know what is there. Meanwhile he has been denying so many people visa. God is Faithful.

Temibrown1 please what did you fill on the colum that says reasons for your previous visa refusal on your DS160?
Thanks

jadapinket13: Hello everyone, am new here on nairaland, i want to share my experience just to encourage my fellow Nigerians.
Got my first admission for fall from Mcgill University for fall semester 2013 for my MSc-4th June 2013
Applied for CAQ- 9th june 2013 ( because my school is in Quebec)
Got my CAQ - 26 June 2013
Submitted paper application through VFS- 4th July 2013
Last date to resume for fall semester-17th Sep 2013
Went to Cdhc to update them on the 3rd Sep and the asked me to bring a new start date
Contacted school for new start date 3d Sep and my program is only for fall so can't differ for winter till fall 2014
Withdrew Application from Cdhc 5th Sep( due to delay in processing my application)
Applied again online 6th September 2013
Applied for winter admission in same school but a different department that has winter intake on 7th Sep 2013
Got a notification on my CIC online for my medicals on the 25th on Sep 2013( less than 3 weeks of submitting my application)
Got notification to submit an extended date to resume or new start date for winter 25th Sep 2013
Done my Medicals on 26th Sep 2013
Now waiting for the new offer later, hope to be ready soon....
Cheers

Beautiful Testimony. that means you paid anoda application fees for the online right?

sparta_300: Meanwhile, I got my medical instructions today.
Submitted sept 6 via online.
Replied them that I would go for my medical exams on wednesday for the fact I have to book a Dr's appoitment.
Go along with a photocopy of ur passport, 4 recent passport photos, the IMM7101_1 form that comes along with the instruction n a maximum of 30k.
Ps: no heavy drinking or smoking this period oh, e fit cast!
I would strongly advice pple to use the online route. Its simple n faster.

Congratz Mike

jaymdee: Hello house, my med instructions came with a further request to pay one year tuition and board. I'm willing to stay off the school residence when I hopefully resume. So what's the best approach to this? And does a GTB mastercard process such transactions as international sch fees? I'll appreciate ur response and recommendations. Kudos

i will advice you make on counter transaction if better than wired transfer because of some charges however, wired transfer if faster than on counter transaction.

greatheights: Thanx boss.
