Hello house and thank you for all the detailed accounts given, its taken days to go through all the threads but the time spent doing so was worth it!

On to my peculiar situation: Currently a FTM planning to birth in the US and still have a valid B1/B2 visa that was issued while I was working outside Nigeria. I am back in Nigeria now by the way.
LO is due early may but visa expires end of may. Can any one advise on the best option for visa application, if to apply with DH (his first time, I have been to the US before) and if to buy a return ticket beyond visa validity?

So please pardon me and my many questions
1.To have LO, do I...:
a. Apply for dropbox - same B1/B2 - and declare medical tourism reason at POE? (risking this Trump immigration change atmosphere influencing a possible denial)
b. Apply for B2 and pray all goes well at interview
c. Go to US on current visa and declare at POE that it's for birthing reasons - not sure if they will stamp me in beyond the visa validity - then apply for an extension while still in the US
d. Please advise!

2. When would be a good time to apply since I still have more than 6 months left on the current visa? The next interview date is in March and I am not sure if it will be dropbox or interview so trying to play safe.

3. Do I mention that DH will be accompanying me or not? He actually will not come until much later.

4. Is it possible to apply for a visa renewal from within the US?

Any first hand experience with this type of situation would be a huge help.

Thank you my fellow nairalanders!

Good day house,

Please does the question 'have you been denied visa before?' applies to an applicant who was first denied a visa at the first attempt and later got the visa at the second attempt (2016). This applicant is about to the renew visa, and hence need to be well informed on what to answer.
Thanks for your responses

Good day gurus in the house. Pls I want to find out if someone can just walk into the embassy and get the documents Notorized when one parent is not present in the US. I remb in 2016, Abuja Embassy used to have days and time u can just walk in and get ur documents Notorized .

BCCH:
Hi All,

I have followed and gained a lot from this thread also. We had our baby in 2016 and of course paid all our bills. Trying to renew via drop box now, we got the feedback to schedule interview. My concern mainly is what does this Itemized bill look like? If any body knows could you share a sample pls. Below are what we have

Letter from Hospital stating balance in zero
Also Zero Balance letter for different accounts - Like 5 of this
Also some itemized services and there cost - Like 5 of this as well(Is this the so called itemized bill?)

The consular specifically requested for us to bring: Itemized hospital bills & receipt for payment. - What's the difference between these two?

Thanks for your anticipated feedbacks.

Hello all,
Please I mistakenly entered my old passport number when paying for my visa fee. Should I go ahead with the scheduling or what should I do.
Thank you

I booked my AA flight from Nigeria. It depends on how energetic you are, but I stayed in a hotel in NYC and continued my journey to Houston the next day. NYC to Houston is 5 hours including 1 hour layover at Charlotte.

Finally met my LO.
I travelled from Lagos via Turkish airline on August 3rd, my POE was JFK amd hassle free. The CBP was just smiling with me, in my mind, i was like this one want to toast pregnant woman. He only asked me how long i will be staying, i told him 10 weeks.
I connected American Airline to Houston. My host was kind enough to pick me from the airport. I got her contact from someone on this thread.
My baby girl was delivered by Dr X at HNWMC last week Thursday. The pain no be here ooo.
I'm on documents parole now, I can't wait to return home. Thanks to everyone that I pm and gave me useful information. God bless you all.

Hello, I believe what you are asking is not allowed here. The name of the Doc's practice or office is NJ Best OB GYN.......based in Clifton NJ.
You can google that and call them. Also, you dont have to be so close to the location, I also did some commute to attend appointments, about 35 mins or so. As per the hospital, when you call , they will tell which hosp they use. i believe they have changed hospital from the last time i used them. You can PM me for more info or drop ur email, I will be glad to help. take care.
