It's better to go with copies, The VO can verify your hubby's visa.

There are stories here about people who went to the embassy with valid visas only to have them voided by the VO because of perceived discrepancies. Please go with copies just like you planned to avoid stories that touch

I only photocopied his data page and data page.

Should I go take the passport instead or bad plans how?
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by LI(m): 6:58pm On Jan 10, 2016
In that case, in addition to the letter of consent, go with a copy of his visa page, I'd have said go with his passport but in case the VO already has bad plans...

All the best and come to gist us after.

He already has a valid US visa

Hello house, I have my interview this week and I'm going for visa with my two kids. Do I need letter of consent from their father, despite the fact that we're using his statement of account?

There are a lot families and babies who would benefit from that gesture but aside that, it's not everyday baff up for your baby, I presume sometimes you'll want to tone down on the baffs; these type of clothes come in handy.

firsttymum:
I wanna ask something.

After you've bought diapers for ur baby...

And then people come and visit u and bring diaper.. Or clothes

It's not as if one isn't grateful... But there are some clothes u wldnt wanna wear ur child. And there are some diapers u wldnt wanna use on ur child. Even the ones we bought in d US, there are some US brands u wldnt wanna use still.

My mum thinks it's bad to give what was given to u out. Left for me I wanna carry all of them to an orphanage or something.... D diaper is just piling up.

Is anyone in my situation

You think digging through archives of NL to find interview transcripts, POE experiences, hospitals, doctors etc is easy? Finding you guys on Twitter was really a piece of cake compared to that. True I found you on @nerf's tl but I still would have regardless. All I need do is look for a certain signature chuckle wink

I had a still birth on 7th Jan. Its such a very sad experiece.

To my roommate, you know yourself, I say Thank you.
We had a still birth one time too but even at that, I can't say I understand how you feel; the planning, preparation, long trip and even money spent...I am really sorry for your loss. Please take solace in the fact that you have those wonderful people with you.

You will need to pick yourself up; your doctor may have advised on what to do to prevent reoccurrence, please heed this advice, then you and Oga can get busy again.

Don't worry, it will end in praise

kkbabygirl:



I am skeptical of taking my baby back home. While I am praying for her complete recovery, it is my desire to remain in the US and watch my baby have the best health care in the world.

Please I need advise on how to achieve this.

Thank you.
I wish your daughter recovery and pray peace and happiness into your family. Seek service of immigration lawyer like people are recommending; I assume you've been in US for a while so your 6 months is already counting.

Whatever you do, the health of your girl is what should be paramount, everything else is secondary.

firsttymum:
she said they were all just pissed off about the same story of "I got d visa before I got pregnant for vacation but I changed my mind when I got pregnant "
A friend in Houston at present, told me about her friend being turned back at the POE; It may or may not be the same person.

Be that as it may, this was definitely bound to happen. We should be aware that those guys are looking for the minutest reason to deny us entry, we shouldn't make it easy for them by travelling ill-prepared or telling needless lies or even putting ourselves in a situation where we come across as dishonest thereby making the Americans generalize Nigerians as crooks

Netflix is now live in 130 more countries, offering its service to billions of potential new customers.

The streaming video service is now available in countries including Azerbaijan, India, Vietnam, Nigeria, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore, Turkey and Indonesia.

"[We are now in] nearly every country of the world but China," CEO Reed Hastings said at CES on Wednesday.

Netflix had been live in about 60 countries and debuted in Asia in September. At the time, Hastings said he was working on plans to be in every country in the region by the end of 2016.

Several countries are off-limits for now. Netflix said its service "won't be available in Crimea, North Korea and Syria due to U.S. government restrictions on American companies."
The countries added on Wednesday are mainly in Africa and Asia.

I think the question was wrongly worded. A better way might have been, "How long does it take on the average to get all documentation after delivery". And then she can do her calculation.

Congratulations to you on your pregnancy Apeke. From you post, it looks like this is your first pregnancy, we are all happy for you.

As a matter-of-fact, your case isn't at all peculiar; people have been issued visas they never used on this thread and there is no way that is a crime. If you're applying for a renewal though, you should be prepared to answer why you were given arguably, the most highly coveted visa in the world yet didn't use it.

I don't have answers to your third question but to the first one: I've also read on this thread that you can land on US soil with a valid visa even if your visa would have expired by your planned departure date since you will be stamped in for a stipulated period of up to 6 months. Other people have opined that you should renew before expiration of that visa.

Whatever you do, please remember to inform the embassy the purpose of your travel. It may be a good idea to also seek clarification from them regarding your second inquiry.

Congrats once again

Apeke1991:
Hello everyone . Good job everyone is doing God bless you all . I have been following this thread since 2013. Now I am married and just discovered I am pregnant . Been reading all pages . But I think my case is a little perculiar . I have had 2 usa visas , used the first one in 2010 while The recent one is meant to expire July 2016 .

That's great then. If you can, I also suggest that you mention to CBP that you'll be visiting later again in the year for child birth so it can be on record.

What you should do is avoid the yeye POEs, plan your flight well, get necessary documents, be ready to answer all their questions, prepare to defuse any drama and start one yourself if you must. And pray

You will not be deported by God's grace

Don't forget to come back and share your testimony.

Thanks Ll and neks31 for reprimanding me without being judgmental. Thanks kiboe for your understanding. Your comment actually brought tears to my eyes. I've been really sensitive and emotional lately.

Visa interview
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by LI(m):
I remember on one of my Uber rides in US: the Nigerian driver who claimed to have been in America for 35 years where he had all his kids, had nothing positive to say about people visiting the US to give birth. In fact, he had nothing positive about Nigerians in general. I'm sure if he had his way, he and his family would be the only Nigerians allowed to live there. Since you can't rate your Uber driver a 0, I gave him a 1 and then gave an equally nasty comment.

That guy reminds me a lot of this mother-whatever guy, I'll not be surprised they're related

TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by LI(m): 4:14pm On Dec 20, 2015
To lend my voice to this matter, I believe a lot of people are taking wrong advice from trusted people. I remember how our US based friends advised us to hide the pregnancy. These same people even pressured us to accept government aid when the baby came; we refused obviously.

I told my colleague about this thread and our experience but he chose to go with an agent who "knows better" and they lied about their pregnancy. Now they have their visa but they have to fast and pray for months just to be allowed entry; not worth the risk if you ask me.

Thank you to everyone who comes here to admit that they hid the fact that they were pregnant during the interview, I'm not judging you but y'all should know even people who Did nothing wrong get delayed for hours at secondary inspection.
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by LI(m):
Good thinking but I disagree with the advice tho, the innocent baby should not pay for mommy's indiscretion and even if she's unable to renew her visa, she'll remember that she's the mother to a citizen and smile.

favoredgal:
Just give birth to your baby in Nigeria, cuz even if you enter from a safe POE. It's in record that you were asked. You won't be able to renew this visa

The change of intent you read about is not for people that were pregnant and went to the embassy 'packaged' or people who 'outright lied'.

Do yourself a favor by saving yourself the embarrassment of a possible deportation / ban
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by LI(m): 3:23pm On Dec 20, 2015
I'd be damned if they already won't start to tough light the "change of intent" matter.

I wish people who were turned back at the airport came here and shared their story, that would deter others


firsttymum:
All these stories of I wanted to travel and we later changed our mind to birth in US instead.... is becoming so popular. These people are aware of this thread.

Hmm. I'm concerned for the choice you made and I think the VO may have added a note to your profile. Not scare you but I think you need that prayer now more than before.
