Travel / Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Lorandy001: 10:57pm On May 24, 2018
Hi LagosNIV,


I must commend you for your great services on this thread.

I have an issue and i believe your advise will go a long way to help me form a decision.

In 2014, immediately after our wedding my husband and I applied and got our US tourist visa, during the interview the consulate asked us if i was pregnant or trying to get pregnant anytime soon and i said NO because i was not pregnant at that time.
But i became pregnant less than two months after we got our visas in June.
In February 2014, we traveled to the US and at the POE the officer asked if i planned to have my baby in state and i said NO even though i was not sure. Getting to the US, some of my friends advised that i should stay back and have my baby, ignorantly i accepted but my husband was not too comfortable about the idea because there was no arrangement on that and his Mum would frown at such an idea. at the end i had my way and my husband returned to Nigeria alone leaving me behind at my friends place to have my baby. i finally had my baby in June and my husband make sure that we pay every single medical bills.
After this particular trip, i made two seperate trips to the US with my husband and our son on the same visa before it expired in 2016.

Fast forward to 2017, my husband and I re-applied to renew our visas.
My husband got his visa but i was asked to show up at the embassy for an interview, i went and there i was refused.
I reapplied almost immediately but i was refused again the second time despite going there with all receipt of medical bills that i paid. i was forced to ask the consular why i'm being refused a visa the second time in a row and he said "you are denied a visa because you deceived an Officer that you were not pregnant and that you are not going to have your baby in the US but you did" those were his words.

Someone advised my husband that we should write an apology letter to the embassy and explain the reason for what happened.
i'm willing and ready to do this, but i think writing a letter to apology might be taken as though we lied on purpose about me not having my baby in the US at the POE.

i need to know if writing an apology letter to the embassy will change anything.

i'm confused and i need your candid advise.

thank you in anticipation.
