@Oluwakeminoah

I really don't see much wrong with your interviews and I see you changed destination and maybe also doctors. One thing that stands out though is that the VO asked what your husband does when he travels... It's not a very usual question. Has ur husband had any issues during his travels? Maybe he overstayed or something..? Law enforcement issues/mixups etc.?
The only other thing may be your ties to ensure you are coming back after delivery..

Thanks shawlar...

My husband only spent about a week the only one tym he went dere and he came bak with no issues. Dey shd be able to track his movement with his visa number kwa.
Changing hospital and doc might be a choice but sometimes dose guys won't respond quick enof and tym is of essence. AV got jes 4 weeks to finish up n travel if I must. Don't knw if it's wise to apply again sha or jus bone and try with d next baby

sw:
I will advise u don't go to Abuja. reapply in Lagos tell then your husband will join you later or you are going together. go along with your husband valid Visa original not photocopy. I am sure your Visa will be granted. Good luck.

Thanks sw.... bt DH is not in the country at the moment so I cnt get the original of his VISA

Hello peepu,
So I AV been reading posts on this thread for sometime now and DH won't stop saying "go to NL"
Whew!!
We plan on having our baby in Texas.
I have applied for a medical visa 2wce now and was rejected at both attempts.
1st was July 6 and 2nd try Aug 18.
I already gave up bt DH say we can try 1 more time maybe from Abuja and we have to apply for emergency visa cos am 29weeks already and if I wait one more month I might not be eligible to fly even if am granted the visa.

The thing is, I can't really pinpoint what the reject reason is so there's nothing I think I can do differently when I reapply. Lemme share how it went both times so the experts here can advice us�.

1st attempt
Me: hello ma'am, how U doin
Vo; very well thank you. May I have ur passport please
Me: of cos. Hands it over
Vo: wher in the US r u goin
Me: elpaso Texas
Vo:what will you be doin there
Me: m goin there for the birth of my baby
Vo: how long AV u been with XXXx bank
Me: about 3 years
Vo: what's your role
Me: told her
Vo: how much is the hospital bill
Me: we actually have a budget to cater for the entire....not let me finish n she asks again
Vo: "how much is the hospital bill"
Me: $2700
Vo: do u have any proof of the bill
Me: yes I do n I gave her
Vo: how long AV u been married?
Me: 1 yr 4 months
Vo: does ur husband have a visa?
Me: yes he does
Vo: what does he do whenever he goes to the US
Me: he's been to the US once before and for vacation
Vo: do you have a copy of his visa?
Me☹️️ No I don't have it at the moment.

She Types plenty things and hands over the blue paper.

So then we tot it's cos i didnt have his visa copy with me. DH says maybe cos she couldn't track his movement with the visa, she musta assumed he's in d US and m running off to be with him. So we applied again 2 days after and d closest date available was Aug 18.

2nd attempt.
Me; Hi good morning, how you doin
Vo: very well thank u, passport please. Flips thru
Vo:you goin to Texas! What exactly will u be doing dere
Me: will be having my baby there
Vo: so u AV been to Tanzania and Zambia! On vacation?
Me: Zanzibar in Tanzania for my honeymoon and visited my husband in Zambia that's wher he works.
Vo: oh great! What does your husband do
Me:he's an IT consultant
Vo: how long has he worked in Zambia
Me:3 years now
Vo:and u work for a Nigerian bank?
Me: yes I do
Vo: do u have a correspondence with any hospital in Texas
Me: yes please. While trying to get it
Vo: I think you should just hand me all documents you have for my perusal
Me: very happy and relieved as i ad more than enof, I just packed everything well arranged and gave him.

All d documents include.
Budget sheet
Doctors corespondence
Hospitals correspondence
Hospital bill
Letter from my employer
My statement of acct NGN n USD
My husbands statement in Zambian currency
My husbands employment letter,work permit, biodata page,old visa,renewed Visa,tax payment evidence
Letter of sponsorship from my husband
Online booking for accommodation in Texas
Marriage Cert n newspaper publication as my name on my passport is still maiden.

The dude took time to go through all the document. I stood dere for close to 10 mins while he was scrutinizing.
Within me I was rest assured and confident that I have the visa.

After the long wait
Vo: m sorry, ur application does not qualify under the US govt blanlabla... and hands me the blue slip .

''Twas like I was dreaming. I sha collected it n left.

Still can't pinpoint what went wrong

�Sorry for the long post o... its my first.

Do U think I shd give one more shot and what would I do differently this time.
