At the interview we were really favoured by God : Next please go to counter Bleep. My 2 children marched to the counter before DH and me. They really set the scene.

VO:Already smiling at the kids.I could not help but smile too.We greeted VO and he asked for our passports. VO: Why do u want to go to the US? DH:To visit Me: Also to have my baby because we had already planned to visit US this year VO: Which state ? DH:CAL VO: Have u contacted a hospital? Me: Yes VO Which one?Me and DH xx xx xx.Children both repeated xxxx after us and we all laughed with VO. VO: What u do and how much do you earn . We both answered him. My children then started disturbing their Dad one was asking why the VO was talking like that (the diction). While the other was asking Dad to do his shoe lace. I did not get distracted. VO:let me have ur hospital correspondence and bank statement. What I had in my bank statement can foot hospital bills for a reasonably priced hospital but was not even up to one quarter of the hospital bill I presented. VO was examining the bank statement without much enthusiasm I quickly slipped a family investment document in my mums name to VO. VO: Is this in your name?I said no in my mum's name. VO:Is ur mum paying for you?I almost bungled there. I had to stick to the fact that I was sponsoring myself. I said no it's my entitlement. He then checks the supporting allocation sheet for the investment and sees my name . I had a budget sheet but held on to it because it was unrealistic. VO How long do you plan to stay? Me 3 months. VO:Where will u stay? We got a list of hotels from hospital but will like to check them out before we decide. He then goes to consult. Comes back and says staying in hotel in CALfor 3 months is really expensive.Are u comfortable? I boldly said yes and that I even have a credit facility on my VISA Card, (which I do but do not intend to use) and the hotels on the hospital list offers discounted rates for the hospital patients.. Then he said your visa is approved. I didn't hear any other thing he said. He then hands over white slip. Congratulations, Congratulations .I wish u safe delivery. Myself and husband had been denied several years ago at different times though. We are not frequent travellers but have travelled to Europe as a family before.

Thanks Shawlar

I had my interview in Lagos. I initially wanted to apply using visit as my reason to travel. But I procrastinated till my tummy started shooting out and I could not get an early date. Luckily for me I met an old friend who encouraged me to read this thread and also to use medical. So I started gradually and found very useful information through searches on how to prepare for visa interview on this thread. Someone shared the questions she practiced with and I copied to my laptop and I got my cousin to act as the vo and we reviewed my responses to see if they were appropriate. During the interview,I was not asked any questions outside the ones I got here and I was fully prepared. Please see my next post

Thanks for your response firstymum.I used acceptance letter from expensive hospital for the vo. Now I want to change to a cheaper hospital and use that at poe. Though I intend to hold 10 thousand usd.I don't want any poe wahala as 10 thousand usd cannot match the expensive hospital I presented to vo. Will share visa story soon.

I got my visa using medical .
However someone assisted me to get an acceptance letter from a hospital which is quite expensive.

I tried reaching another hospital that is less expensive but was directed to zoc.doc where my appointment was confirmed. But when I emailed the less expensive hospital they gave me their standard prices and said I have to come there physically to pay and also call when I get to usa to book an appointment. Wilkl the evidence I have for the less expensive hospital suffice at poe. Also hope there will be no issue as I applied using an acceptance letter from the expensive hospital
