Eh... if you got a 221g "refusal" (i.e. applied via Dropbox and asked to schedule interview) you may not be able to expedite your appointment.

The date I got for interview was two days to my travel date (I was going for a meeting). I tried to expedite it.. called, emailed and chatted with their customer care agent and was told that you can't expedite a 221g appointment.

There is no harm in trying though.



Chai, it is okay.

Are you the primary applicant? i.e. is it your details on the ustraveldocs or appointment portal?

I was the primary applicant and I got the same mail and it was "dear applicant" but both our passports were returned. My DH didn't get that mail. You will get another message from ustraveldocs when your passport is ready for pick up. That's when you will know if your husband was given the visa or not.

Let's know how it goes


Thank you very much for this. Yes I am, means I'll still be updated. I am just confused right now for the dates. Have you gone for your interview now and got your visa?

My people, ejo, biko, pls, those whose mum/mum-in-law have gone for visa interview, pls i need ur help/info/advice.

Are the following documents sufficient for her to take with her for interview? Copies of my visa page, my last baby’s US passport data page, zero balance etc for the last trip, doctor’s correspondence for the next trip, evidence that she is retired (to show her previous work history).

Good afternoon house, Please I need clarification on this.
I dropped our(myself&hubby) passports on tuesday for dropbox application. I received a mail today to schedule an interview, however my husband didnt reveive any. And in my own mail, they used singular words e.g dear applicant, pick your passport, etc. Please how can we confirm his own application status? we need to know this because ot requires us to travel and wont be neccassary he does if he has bin given.

For mothers that used Oakbend, pls did you get an itemìzed invoice for your renewal interview? because the doctors' and hospitals zero balances only may not be sufficient. Thanks.

I went 4 interview today @ Lagos & was denial, b4 it got to my turn about 9 persons av been denial same line with me & all tru d V.O face was bad with anger.
Me: Goodmorning. "d V.O didn't return my greetings"
V.O: Ur passport pls
V.O: Why do u want to go to U.S
Me: Am going to av my baby
V.O: Wats ur total budget for the trip.
Me: $14,900
V.O: wat do u do
Me: Am a home maker 4 now but my Husband is sponsoring.
V:O: wat do ur Husband do?
Me: He runs is own company, "oil & gas" Has is own gas station, deals on bla bla bla..etc
V.O: where did u skool
Me: University of bla bla bla & bla
V.O: Wat did u study
Me: Business & entrepreneurship
V.O: Av u travel out b4
Me: Yes, been to South Africa & Benin republic.
V.O: Do ur husband av a valid U.S visa
Me: Not yet.
V.O: Why do u want to birth in U.S, why not South Africa or Dubai.?
Me: U.S av a top notch medical infrastructure, also 4 better health care, U.S offer a good healthcare services bla bla bla.....

I didn't finish explaining ooh den d V.O brought out d blue paper, I was shock & confuse & I ask my self where I went wrong if hmmm, I need answers & advice my follow nairaland papa's & mama's in d house...? Though my Husband says we will apply together.


Sorry for this. I really dont know what to say to this one o, maybe its not just your lucky day. However, I think we should start including the citizenship issue with our reason for going to the US to have a baby, since its not illegal, what do yoi think? cos in the past, stay at home wives have gotten visa based on husbands full sponsorship but these days, seems they want both parties to have strict home ties.

I advise you re-apply if you still have time and follow up with prayers and include US passport in your reason for choosing US over SA.


There is nothing you can do to your being a home maker for now that will not raise an eye brow. Let other gurus in the house give their input though.

Where did I go wrong here? My baby is due end of next mth and I really wanted to get this visa b4 I get to 35 weeks.



Sorry about your refusal. I also have comment about ties, maybe your job is not sufficient enough ties for you. And your babys child whom u arnt married and travelling with you is somehow questionable to fully supporting financially as stated. If youve gone for this interview earlier, reaplying would av bin possible.

There is no issue as long as his current status in Malaysia is still valid.

Moreover, you can advice him to register here, read through this thread and have an idea on how to go about his application.

But then if he already has a degree, why would he want to go for a professional certificate in the same discipline? This is where the red flag starts from.

Like I said, he should put up a good application to offset the professional course thingy if the issue arise.

PS: Go through this thread yourself too, maybe you will understand my reservations about the words in bold.


I think i stated it wrongly, its a postgraduate course really, and its a furtherance to his line of study. Thanks for the insight

Goodmorning house

Please I am in dire need of a not so expensive hospital in Boston or Rhode Island,the reason is I have accomodation in Boston.

I would really appreciate if I can the doctor's email,phone number etc


Thank you

If you are in dire need as you stated, it will be a dire act to use the search botton here or check on google. You can also do both and compare, make calls and do the work by yourself cos i dont think anyone is in dire need to give you such detail. My 2 cents.

Good evening mamas, I am about applying for dropbox, and I think i should ask here if theres any legal way to avoid bin invited for interview. Can one send all receipts/zero balance letters when sending passport? since i read here that they only want to be sure that we paid our bills.

I applied and got my B1/B2 in January 2016 with my hubby, went for childbirth, paid bills and came back home jejely without overstaying or any illegal drama. The time to travel if invited is really an issue for me, this is why i want to explore options if available.

I'm wondering what could be the reason for your denial here. So many stories of ppl getting denied. Maybe your income or the fact that your wife got carried away.
