My wife should be in Houston in 2 weeks if that's fine.

If you can maneuver to be interviewed by a woman, the better. They are more sympathetic to pregnant women.

bissysummy:
Pls at all, ladyg, xx10, ceecmordi, lobus, firstmum i need a another doctor correspondence from a hospital in chicago not cookcounty pls, because the hospital dont give the cost of treatment until you are thete in person. I need a doctor correspondence stating the cost of the bill to qualified for expedited appointment. Pls help a sis , the earliest date i saw is September 1st and i week be due for my cs by then. Pls note 3rd cs with complications in the lastone. Thank you all as you help. God will help us all.

Hi, its not that difficult but you would have to do the work yourself. Simply google for Hospitals in Chicago then check that the hospital provides Labor and Delivery/Obstetrics and Gynaecology services. Proceed to the 'Find a physician' menu on their website and call any of the physician you choose. Tell them to give you a breakdown of their charges and requirement via mail

Is any bank selling PTA at all?

bissysummy:
Pls can you put me through hpw ypu applied for the expedited interview. Pls . i ontend to do the same.

1. Book your normal appointment regardless of the date.

2. Click on Emmergency request

3. Select the ground for Emmergency request (Medical etc)

4. You would be provided a column to explain your reason for the request and attach documents to support your claim.

Regards

bissysummy:
Is this lagos or abuja? I was denied on monday too and i intend to reapply. But thinking of going to abuja. Pls what do you think?

Lagos. I think you should reapply in Lagos

It is with great joy i announce that my wife's Visa was approved today after we were denied last week. This forum has been of great help and it is only appropriate that i share our entire story.

DENIAL INTERVIEW- July 8
VO: Good morning Madam
Wife: Good morning
VO: Are you both applying together?
Wife: Yes we are. *Hands him our passports
VO: Why are you going to the US and where are you going?
Wife: Houston, Texas to have our baby
VO: What do you do for a living?
Wife: I am a managing partner in xxxx company owned by myself and my husband. We are into xxxxxxxx
VO: How much do you have budgeted for this trip
Wife: Hands him our budget sheet and doctors correspondence. *noticed that he was only looking at the budget sheet.
VO: Will you be staying in a hotel?
Wife: No. Will be staying with a friend
VO: *Typed for several minutes*. Sorry you are not eligible for the visa

The reason for denial was due to insufficient ties.

After several brainstorming and thinking, i was advised that my wife should apply alone but then the challenge was that the next available appointment was not until August 24 by which my wife would be past 35weeks. We had to apply for an expedited interview on July 9, attaching Doctor's report (Nigeria), Doctors's correspondence (US), Budget sheet and account statements as supporting documents to justify our request for an expedited interview. The expedited interview was granted on Monday July 11 and our interview scheduled for today Wednesday.

APPROVAL INTERVIEW: July 13
VO: Hello
Wife: Hi
VO: What is your reason for going to the US?
Wife: To have my baby
VO: Where is your final destination in the US?

Wife: Presently i am the managing partner of a company owned by myself and my husband. We do xxxxx and have annual turnover in excess of Bleep

Wife: No, he is only a director. He works in xxxxx as xxxx
VO: Have you been in touch with any Hospital
Wife: Yes, both hospital and doctor. *Hands over the correspondence
VO: Any idea how much the trip would cost you?
Wife: Yes. Handed over the budget sheet.
VO: Would your husband be going with you?
Wife: No. He is indisposed at the moment, tied down with loads of work.
VO: Is this your first?
Wife: No. I was actually here last week. *Thought she meant if it was my first time applying for the Visa*
VO: I meant if this is your first baby. But what happened last week?
Wife: I applied with my husband but we were denied due to insufficient ties. I intend making the trip earlier and as a result my husband would not be coming with me because of his schedule
VO: Oh Okay but i meant if this is your first baby
Wife: Yes
VO: Congratulations your visa has been approved. Pick up your passport on xxxxx *Hands over the white paper

Sure. Will do so by Monday when I have access to a computer.

Hi. Hope your weekend was great? Said to remind you.

Thanks

XX01:
Thank God with me o. My DH and I finally got our visas yesterday morning.

I didn't really have enough time to prepare as I had so many things going on. However, God was faithful and He granted us favour.

Will soon be back with our transcript. I would just like to add that for the budget sheet, you should include the total amounts available in all accounts (listed individually) and how much will be left. I think that was when the battle was won.

Hi, please would you be kind enough to email me your budget sheet akposasu@gmail.com.

Thanks in anticipation

Good day all,

The situation with my wife and I is thus. We have travelled twice to Dubai and once to Seychelles as a couple. Also once to Dubai while dating. We were both denied UK Visa long ago before marriage.

We intend giving birth in the US. Have doctor and hospital correspondence as well as sufficient funds in my account.

My questions are;
What should we look out for?
For how long must my funds have stayed in my account?

A response would be appreciated.

Good to be here. Spent the last one week going through posts and comments and i must commend everyone.

Myself and my wife would be applying for our Visa next month. Hopefully i would get to share the testimony soon.
