Hello Sis, pls I need to send you a mail/pm. Pls it's urgent. I think I sent but you have to approve or something. Thanks

Msadesina:

I sent to oa@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng. I got the response that my husband and i have no link despite attaching my marriage certificate and court affidavit confirming the marriage. I even went the extra mile of attaching baby's passport. The more you see the less you know. You were lucky you got yours without issues, I know others who had to pay cos travel date is close. Well thank God I'm sorted now

Please people of GOD can anyone recommend a good Pediatrician for circumcision here in Houston? Had my baby at Oakbend. Or should I simply wait till we get to Nigeria? Baby will be 6weeks then. I shudder at the thought of the pain but I'm worried about doing it twice as I've heard not so good reports about circumcision done here. My brother's baby and my friend's baby had to be redone back home in Nigeria after first attempt here in Houston and El Paso respectively were not done properly... Not the same hospitals though.

Pls pls I appreciate your prompt response.

Lemme chip in on this.

Using ur naija card on amazon, u will definately be charged higher than 360, GTB charged 367 to a dollar 2 days ago. I dont use naija naira cards on amazon.

For passport at Fortbend county which i did in 2016, it takes 2 weeks to get US passport nd another 5 days thereafter to return baby's birth cert which they will collect from you at the county.

I advise u just pick up ur baby's bc nd head downtiwn for US passport for same day or next day passport.

Thanks a whole lot. Downtown Houston it is then.

Supernaturalone:
I arrived Texas on 24 Nov (shared my POE experience

So this is my missionary story! The Bible says in everything, give thanks. I thank God we are alive and well and it will all end in greater praise.

THANK GOD that you and your baby are fine. As advised, tell them you are a self pay patient and that the bill is too high, ask for a reduction especially if you are looking to pay at once. I pray GOD'S Favour for you so that your bill is reduced to what you can afford as is your heart's desire IN JESUS NAME; AMEN

I have a few questions cus I'm doing my research for Passport etc while waiting for baby's arrival, I've got limited time to return to Naija after EDD, so I'm trying to find out what can be done immediately baby arrives and or expedited.

1. How many days did it take to receive your baby's SSN, I've heard of ten days to 3 weeks (Pls do you know if this can be expedited?)

2. Was it at Fort Bend Passport Office that you got expedited Baby's passport in a day? I saw on their website... normal is 4-6weeks and expedited is 3 weeks... a friend just advised me to try Downtown Houston she did hers for 185usd and it took 3 days using dhl... but Fort Bend is closer to me, so I'll appreciate if you can share how you got the one day expedited Passport.

3. What bank card did you use on Amazon? So I used my Stanbic Card and for some reason got a message from Stanbic that the amount was higher than the limit.
I thought the limit was 200usd... what I bought is 183usd. Moreso Amazon that gave me option to pay in Naira (was excited cos the rate was very good) just changed mouth the next day and I saw my order in USD...

Thanks and GOD Bless you and your little one.

Sharing as received without the contact numbers though so I won't be seen as advertising. Whoever is interested can check the BA website directly.

hello house. DH filled his form today with my daughter & has already book appointment. but some things have been bothering me plz I need to know if we did the right thing.
* I told him to choose b1/b2 but he said his not going for business but to assist me & come back so he choose only b2. I believe I should be d one to fill b2 while he fills b1b2.
* he filled my doctor & hospital address as his contact person.
* my daughter of 3yrs photo refuse to upload so we continued without photo.
NOTE: My interview is in 3weeks, I don't have visa yet that is y am concerned about him using d doctor address. I filled my own form early Dec, he has to wait for his leave to be approved b4 filling his own that was d reason y we didn't fill together.
should he wait until my visa is approved (God's willing) b4 filling his own, that is if we should cancel d 1 he filled today or we should just make correction ? my EDD is 1st week in April.

My experience:

DH and I filled B2 cus our primary purpose for travelling is Child birth.

DH and I applied same time and were to be interviewed same time although I had to reschedule because my passport photo didn't upload and I was turned back.

DH was given his Visa before me.

DH used his distant uncle in another State as contact person and contact address NOT the hospital cus he's not the one birthing.

Some people here have applied together and gotten their visas, some didn't get.

Remember the most important things are:

1. You can show strong ties in Nigeria to prove that you will come back especially when applying and travelling together as a family.

2. You can show that you can afford to pay all your planned and unplanned (GOD forbid) bills and not touch their Medicaid.

Please ensure your daughter's photo is uploaded on her Form. You might need to start another application to do this if you have already submitted the one without the picture, then have the New Form linked to her interview date on your profile. This must be done at MOST three days before her interview. (Check my posts in part 5 to see how I did mine)

All the best.

Hello Viola and House,

Safest Option - Fill another DS-160 and schedule another interview to declare your intention of child birth. This option gives you more confidence at POE and increases your visa renewal chances in the future.

Next Option - If possible, travel for a vacation with the visa before travelling for child birth. With this option, be prepared for possible drilling at POE for child birth trip. Also, chances of getting visa renewed subsequently is reduced as several people that have done this option have been denied recently after being called for interview following dropbox application.

Last Option - Travel for child birth with visa. But be prepared for possible drilling at POE which can be quite stressful. Chances for getting visa renewed subsequently is greatly reduced.

Generally, it appears the VOs have seen an increasing trend in people getting pregnant after getting VISAs and seem to be on the look out for such trends with high visa renewal denials following non-declaration of intent to use visa for medical purpose including childbirth. If there is any likelihood that you would use a visa for childbirth subsequently after a planned vacation, declare this intent even if you are not pregnant at the interview and ensure it is documented.

Dear Viola , Option one is really really cool. Least stressful, safest and cheapest. I strongly believe the VO will be so impressed by your honesty and give you the Visa again without issues... I just remember now someone who went this route recently... don't recall her moniker but she shared it in part 5. VO appreciated her honesty.

GOD'S Favour, wisdom and All the best as you decide IN JESUS NAME; AMEN.

Nice one Abanzi.

[quote author=lastforever post=63969726][/quote]

Well Last forever... laughter is good medicine for the soul so you are encouraged to laugh. However, laughing at another's opinion or suggestion where multiple suggestions were given (even if it was just one suggestion given self) is downright rude and childish.

Its always best to look at all the possible options available for a process, that's the wisest thing to do when making decisions... It's common sense rule of life.

There's a reason why people are over prepared for this journey even if they don't get to use all they prepared for. However that helps boost confidence and also reduces the risk of disappointment.

So while you can keep laughing, please remember to be polite to other people's suggestions. Even if you've travelled many times you dont know it all. People have been rejected visa after first journey for this scenario she pointed out because the VO thinks they lied.

People have been turned back with USD7k while others have been let in with USD3k same location and close enough budget, so its not a case of 3k here is worth more than 7k in the other location and others were not even asked about how much cash they have (like me).

People have been allowed in with food stuff, indomie, Knott beef etc (like me), while others bags were searched and were seized. People have been asked by the VO to show proof that they can afford the trip by showing bank statements etc while others were not asked anything (like me)... in fact people have been asked to log into their bank accounts at PoE, the CBP Officer didn't want to see any statement but wanted to see the live balance.

But I went very prepared... asked all the questions, did what I needed to just incase. Some were stressful some were not, but I was happy and confident I did them all, while praying and believing GOD for Favour.

So please when someone comes to you without experience and asks a critical question asking for candid advice, please tell the person all the options no matter how silly or laughable you think it is... Better over prepared than sorry.

Viola2017:
Thanks for your quick response. But as it is now, i have already sent a mail on change of intent although i wasnt replied aside from the automated response that came up. if i decide to travel now to come back in a weeks time do you think the embassy will contact POE base on the fact i have written to them and then cause another issue for me.

I strongly doubt that, cus a VO has stated on this thread a few weeks ago that the letter is not added on your file, so CBP Officer at PoE doesn't even get to see it (hence its being deemed irrelevant) unless you mention it (Although still irrelevant if you mention it cus they like to assume one is lying). Moreso if you are going for a week, you will have your return ticket if it comes to you needing to prove that you are staying for just a week (especially if you are already showing) then CBP will determine how long to sign you in for, maybe a month, maybe six months self.

You enjoy your short holiday, come back and then prepare to travel for your missionary journey.

If all these are too stressful for you (which is what you dont need now) simply wait it out, be armed with your Pregnancy test result showing when you found out you are pregnant and also your EDD from first ultrasound at less than 9 weeks (which is most accurate, and that's if you did one, you can still do one now and keep the print out) which should back up your not being pregnant or not knowing you were pregnant until 6/7 weeks after you obtained your Visa (5 September to 3rd week October 2017) should you need to present it at PoE when going to birth your baby or to the VO when renewing if Dropbox doesn't work. And then start and keep praying. You'll be fine.

I really hope I haven't confused you sha... I'm just giving you options I will take if I were in your shoes.

AroOkigbo:


You got your visa in Sept 05
You never used it before now, maybe due to some unforeseen circumstances
You are pregnant now (after over a year of getting the visa) and want to use it for birthing

My sister, you have no wahala.
Just let the officer at your POE know when you arrive and all will be fine. They are humans and reason very well too.
I advice you stay with a good relative, close to your hospital and have YOUR money for necessary expenses (and possibly assist your host)

Hello AroOkigbo
I think the September 05 is 5th September 2017, that's like 3 months ago not over a year ago. She said they got it to travel with for Christmas holiday.

afrobrown2000:
she called and told me about her transcript...

VO2 this should help your pay your bills when you get to the US...your visa has been granted....

DW thank you

This is just perseverance and Gods grace...Already bought her tickets....thanks all sorry for the long post

Wow!!!! GOD'S Grace at work and an amazingly understanding man as a husband. GOD Bless you Sir.

captain90210:
Good morning and a happy weekend to everyone one. Just to confirm if *hospitals correspondence* & *doctors correspondence* serve the same purpose at Interview because I have that of hospital. So thinking I request for a doctor's correspondence before proceeding to the interview. Thanks

From my own experience, because of how separated the US medical system is, I think it's best to get a Doctor's correspondence (Letter to whom it may concern preferably).

This should ideally show that the Dr has agreed to birth your baby and can mention the hospital you have agreed to use.

Also your email correspondence with the Dr discussing your delivery options and all that should ideally contain details of the hospital, fees etc.

This is what I did even though I wasn't asked to present it at my interview.

Viola2017:
Please i need help oooo, can someone with experience reply me oooo.

Hi everyone, i need your candid advise, i got my visa sept.05, took in towards 3rd week of Oct. Now i am 15wks gone. I and DH had wanted to spend xmass there but his brother made us cancel it when he informed us that he will be returning to Naija for xmass though he never returned afterwards.
Can i use the visa for child birthing as i wasn't pregnant when i went for interview and can prove it? 
If it is possible, what and what do i need to put on ground before embarking on

From what I've read on this thread... If You can afford it, pls use the Visa for what it was originally obtained for first. So go on holiday for a week or two now, check for hotels or extended stay apartments within budget if you can't go to your brother in law's place, you can even physically scout for hospitals if it's the same city you want to have your baby at. Then you can use it to travel again when you are ready to have your baby. This is to avoid plenty stories at PoE and also when trying to renew.

Sounds expensive but since the Change of Intent letter has been confirmed irrelevant, spend the money if you can afford it to avoid stress at PoE or disappointments when renewing.

Another option Is to relax, travel when ready to have your baby, send the irrelevant Change of intent letter, pray very hard for favour at PoE and when renewing in about two years.

May GOD give you Wisdom and Grace. IN JESUS NAME; AMEN.

chinybelle:
Pls help o
On DS 160 form
What can one enter as contact
I tried booking on Airbnd.com atleast to have an address to proceed with only to discover I have to make payments.

Can we use Hospital address as contact address in the Us?

Here's hoping I understand your question: Address where you will be staying or Contact person and contact person's address?

You can use a hotel close to the hospital as the address where you will stay. There's no obligation to have Accomodation booked & paid for at this point where you don't have a Visa. So you can use the Airbnb address if that's where you intend staying.

Contact person can be your Dr and the Contact person's address can be the hospital you are going to use.

I arrived Houston on 28th December with my 2 children and mum via emirates.

Then again, the long flight from Dubai to Houston, plane was as full as lag to Dubai. Though, we had a bassinet seat, so my baby who is over 1 year was able to sleep on and off in d bassinet, though, the hostess initially said she was too hold for d bassinet. We sha used it all thru.

At the baggage claim, i had to get assistance, cos we
In all, travelling alone is much more comfortable than this my trip with my battalion (lol), didnt regret it sha, they are worth it.

Apologies for the long story. I am available to answer questions if i omitted any info.

P.S. Houston is freezing.

Thank GOD for you Momma and yes Houston is freezing!! GOD help us. Is this flu shot compulsory biko? I can't accommodate being sick this weather and my big belle and I'm worried if it's anything like taking some antimalarial medication in Naija that draws out the malaria instead of surpresssing it.

Omodadi2:
Please my people, I need guidance on scheduling emergency visa interview. I am not getting a good date all.

Advise received from Chiroleck when I needed the emergency request too.

"just log on to your dashboard and click on emergency appointment, choose medical and explain why you missed the first appointment, explain the available dates and tell them that will make you miss your doctors appointment, upload the following documents: info from hospital, doctor's info and doctor's confirmation of appointment.

They'll respond the following day and tell you to choose a date. Goodluck".

Change the narrative as it applies to your situation. For you it wont be about a missed appointment obviously. In my case I added more documents like my Hubby's visa page, and other things that explained my situation better. Got a response in less than 24hrs and got to pick a date.

GOD'S Favour IN JESUS NAME; AMEN

nnetayo:



VO: Any correspondence from the doctor, budget sheet and statements?
Me: I hand them over and tell him to read from bottom up (the correspondence shows where the doctor is willing to accept me as a high risk patient, our willingness to pay some money upfront and the doctor's response to only receive payment after I've gotten my visa)
VO: Looks through the letter and all the statements. (Our budget was over 5m. Hubby's savings had over 6m, dorm account over $2, 500, I had close to 2m in investment with a letter to the embassy notifying that I had access to the money within 48 hours of notice and Hubby had treasily bill statement indicating over 10m)
VO: Starts typing for a really long time and gives us the blue paper with "I'm sorry you do not qualify for a visa at this time"

I've been so devastated as I had rehearsed over and over again how I was going to share my success story here. I was planning to travel 2nd week in February. Hubby thinks we should try again, this time just me and then himself and my son can apply afterwards.
I'm honestly confused. Don't know if I'd get a date ASAP. I've made a resolve to just have the baby here, but my family thinks I should try again.

Sorry about the initial rejection dear but I think you should try again.

Quick questions though: Does your budget match the exact amount that the Dr quoted as basic for high risk patient costs. I'm guessing (novice opinion) that the VO might be worried about anything going wrong (GOD forbid) and then your budget / savings not being able to cover it and that might now result in the possibility of using the almighty Medicaid.

If your budget is an exact match for the basic I think you should adjust it. For instance if you were given a bill for Vaginal and CS even if you want Vaginal, let your budget reflect CS as that might show you are prepared for worst case scenario.

Just put the higher amount if you were given a range for any of the costs. Also is it necessary for your letter to state that you are high risk? Just thinking out loud.... You cant change that now but I'm just thinking if it's important and if that doesn't cause a red flag Medicaid warning bell to go off in some of the VOs minds.

Also the savings in you and Hubby's account did it grow to the 6m and 2m or were they lump sums paid in recently? I know a friend who was denied UK Visa cus they saw recent lump sum transfer and it was work related money o that went in an out and didn't affect the sufficiency of her balance self. Plus she schooled in the UK and has family there, they just denied her thw Visa.

GOD'S Favour this time around IN JESUS NAME; AMEN. Don't give up. Try again alone as advised. If the dates you see are too close to your intended travel date then request for expedited interview date.

Omodadi2:
Good day people, it was a horrible holiday for me cos of the denial coupled with the fact that my phone was stolen on my return home on Saturday.

Anyways, planning my new application but I have another burning case:

I applied for my nanny to go with me on this trip as my mum won't be able to go and I have a toddler to this of. However, I chose her interview date considering my drop box application after which I had to change her appointment to 4th January hoping that I would have gotten my visa. Now that I don't have it yet, what can I do? I believe she's not qualified for a visa since I don't have one, pls guide me.

It's well Sis. Sorry about the initial rejection and the loss of your phone. It will end in praise. I'm not an Expert but I think you should reschedule your Nanny's interview date.

How soon can you get your new interview date? I also believe she's not qualified for a visa yet, so the sooner you can get your new interview date, then you can reschedule hers. Maybe you can even request for expedited interview date for your own appointment.

GOD'S Favour IN JESUS NAME; AMEN

So grateful to GOD for HIS faithfulness.

Flew Emirates from Lagos to Dubai to Houston at 35 weeks plus. Gave them Fit to Fly from Dr. Didnt go to Port Health and I wasn't asked for Port Health Report. Requested for wheel chair from Lagos (Had been stressed over the past four days before my flight, needed to slow down) and it was the smartest move ever...no stress at all all through to Houston.

Flight crew experience: Emirates crew Dubai to Houston were nicer than Lagos to Dubai. But the Lagos to Dubai guys weren't so bad sha...

Food: Food was fair... I'm not much of a continental eater so I was just eating bread, croissant and water. The jollof rice from Lagos to Dubai: it is well, hunger did not allow us have choice � The Dubai to Houston lunch was not for me. I just thank GOD for bread and butter ��

Entertainment: Mixed feelings on this... expected to see recent movies from what I had been hearing, but was able to watch some.

Houston PoE

First General CBP: Where are you going to?
Me: Sugarland
CBP: Why?
Me: To have my baby
CBP to Wheel Chair Man: She has to go inside.
CBP calls for colleague to take us to the Secondary Inspection Office.

Spent one hour waiting for my turn. There were other people in the room before me.

CBP: You are here to have your baby?
Me: Yes
CBP: Staying in a hotel, with family or friends?
Me: Hotel
CBP: (Types on keyboard) Ensure to have all your receipts when next you are coming. Stamps me for six months.
Me: Okay, Thanks


Baggage Claim Officer (BCO) That's what I chose to call him: Any food?
Me: Yes, Chinchin, peanut burger nuts like this (had half a pack in my hand that I had been eating in the CBP's office), Crayfish (BCO then interrupts)
BCO: Any meat and vegetables?
Me: No
BCO: Okay.

Was wheeled to the exit and then I took a taxi to my hotel. Thankful my Indomie made it through cus that's what saved the day for dinner. My hotel has no restaurant.

Dear Mommas, please use the wheel chair and wear compression socks too for the flight, drink lots of water, pee as often as required and walk the plane aisles at least once every three hours. Movement was so easy with the wheel chair, I almost felt sinful!

By the way, I eventually got through to Hope Women's Clinic, was told that the phone lines were down for a few days and that's why it kept going to voice mail.

All I can say is THANK YOU LORD. It's been HIM all through.

Omodadi2:



Send email, the new person will respond.

Thanks but done that twice already, no response. Hence my request here.

Hello please dear Oakbend Mummies using or have used Dr E of Hope Women's Clinic.

I've tried severally to reach the office through the number I've always used but I keep getting the voicemail. Can someone please please send me Dr E's contact details. The last time we were able to speak to someone we were told Laurie (Office Manager) no longer worked there and she handled my appointment, etc

My email add is onyinye.cfl@gmail.com

Please it's urgent. Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,
I am a silent reader, I got into DFW on the 29th of Oct., the queue was something else. I almost collapsed. I went through the first stage where you will do passport reading.

Then I processed to pick my luggage and face the CBP guy.

CBP: How long are you here for?
Me: Till Christmas
CBP: You're pregnant?
Me: Yes
CBP: Do you have family?
Me Yes
CBP: place your finger here.
CPB: Do you have food
Me: yes. The guy stamped me in for 6 months. Nothing was checked nor ceased.

POE was breeze, I am sitting pretty and waiting for my LO. Please pray for me and the day drwas really close. My doctor wanted to induce labor but I refused and my due date is still far away.

Please any Dallas mum in the house, boredom is killing me here.

God bless...

Congratulations Momma, It is well with you and your LO IN JESUS NAME; AMEN. Relax in GOD. HE is in Control.

Chijiuche:
In the spirit of giving back.

I flew Qatar to Houston 2 days ago at 34+6 days. submitted MediF form, Medical certificate 7 days before departure. Got approval after following up via twitter and phone calls 2 days to depature.

At the Lagos airport, I was directed to Port authority ( They measured and wrote I am 30 weeks ). Photocopied my Doctors fit to fly and Port authority certificate and submitted and was allowed to fly. Flight was more that smooth to Doha. Complimentary accommodation was issued.
Connected Houston the next morning. When i was being checked to board houston, I was asked the purpose of my journey to US, I responded that I am currently pregnant and was going to birth in the US. The guy asked again Who is pregnant?? but you dont look it? I responded that I am currently pregnant, so he took my passport and directed me to a US immigration man. He inquired whether i told the Visa officer about my intention. I told him that it was drop box but i opted in for B2/medical detailing the hospital I planned using, the doctor and the contact. He asked me whether i know i am not entitle to state fund - yes i do and that is why I am having more than $10,000 and additional ones in my mastercard in case of any surprise payment. He evn asked e whether I am expecting a boy or a girl, then the name of the child He later cleared me and off I boarded.

3:50pm we arrived houston. Que was a bit long.

CBP: What are you here for?
Me: For childbirth
CBP: Youre pregnant?
Me: Yes and 35 weeks gone already
CBP: place your finger here.
CPB: Anything to declare.
Me: yes oo...Got blended Ogbono, Crayfish, Dry fish, Uziza, Udah, Utazi, Know beef etc...one minute, I got the list here. I brought out the list of what i a bringing in and the Oyibo collected the list and documented everything asking me the usage especially the local herbs. In addition I declared i have more than $10,000 ($14,000). The guy stamped me in for 6 months and i was directed to custom to fill a form. Then to Agric- Nothing was checked nor ceased. It was like a dream that when i was led to the exit, I had to inform them that Money has not been counted and my bag was not checked..They said, I am ok that i am cleared and can go.

Houston POE was indeed a breeze. Everything took less that 5 mins. Chiling and waiting for my LO and my first appointment with Dr Fagbohun.

Thanks everyone for your guidance.

Wow! Congrats on your PoE experience. I tap into your PoE experience IN JESUS NAME; AMEN. I'm a Houston bound Mum too using Dr E & traveling soon by GOD'S Grace. Pls I'm interested in your food list. I have a list but I want to be sure I have everything covered biko. Can I pls send you a pm or would you rather share here?

Thanks a lot.

debby516:
My responses are in the body of your post below.

Thank you so very much.

debby516:
Cant speak for BA, but i used Emirates to Houston to and fro and i have no complaint. They didnt ask for port health fit to fly, just the one their website signed by your doctor. On comfort, Lag - Dubai flight was full, so no space to stretch, but Dubai - Houston was light, so i had enough space to rest and stretch, the cabin crew were nice and courteous.

On return trip, adding baby ticket was easy and cheap, less than $100. My toddler, who came with my husband also on emirates, not with me, but we all returned together, was soo comfortable and stucked to the ICE all thru. She had all sort of sweet things to nibble on thruout the flight. The Layover for our return was overnight, we had dinner and breakfast at the hotel we were lodged and transported back to the airport in the morning. In all, Emirates is good in my opinion.

Thanks a lot Debby516, did you book your ticket directly on their website or through an agent you know or wakanow?

Were you very far gone by the time you travelled? I'm looking at going at 35+1 do you think flight of 16:30hrs Dubai to Houston will be too stressful for me? And do you think the 15hrs Houston to Dubai will be too stressful for me and my baby coming back whether or not I have someone to help out on the flight?

You mentioned you were lodged... I assume it was Emirates that lodged you right? Did you have to do / pay anything extra to get the accomodation?

Just trying to picture the trip using your experience. Thanks a lot.

Please I need your help with making a quick decision. Recent Mamas, Please between Emirates or BA Which has better care / treatment/ considerations for pregnant women or women with children?

I know one stop BA flight to Houston is shorter than one stop Emirates to Houston, however I feel a shorter trip can still feel long if the treatment is poor or if one is uncomfortable. And a longer trip can seem short if one is comfortable.

Please flight class on both flights is Economy.

Please I appreciate your urgent response. Thank you.

Chirolechick:
You're welcome......just let me know how it went

Hello Chirolechick,

Thank you so much for your help. Visa was approved and has been collected.

I applied for the emergency request/ expedited interview date as advised, selected medical emergency option. Explained my reasons for the emergency request. Attached copy of my hubby's visa, dr's letter and correspondence and some other work related doc to prove why I needed to have the interview that week, as I was going out of town also as the available interview date was way past when I could travel per most airlines policies and my already scheduled Dr's appointment.

I got a response in less than 24 hrs that my request had been approved.

Chose my preferred interview date. Didn't need to pay another visa fee.

Interview day:
VO: Where in the US are you going to?
Me: Houston Texas
VO: Why?
Me: To have my baby ( I applied for medical Visa)
VO: Is this your first baby?
Me: Yes
VO: What's your budget?
Me: USD xxxx
VO: Where do you work
Me: Just started at XYZ Company, formerly at ABC Company ( Had to state this Cus I changed the name of employer on my new form as my employer when I was initially scheduled for my interview had changed)
VO: what did you do at ABC Company?
Me: I blah blah blah
VO: Is your new role in XYZ Company similar to ABC?
Me: Explained the correlation (Although I doubt that's very important)
VO: Is your hubby going with you and Does your Hubby have a Visa?
Me: Yes to both questions
VO: Family and Friends
Me: No
VO: So staying at a hotel
Me: Yes
VO: When do you intend travelling?
Me: Blah blah
VO: How long do you intend staying
Me: X months Cus I only have X no of months approved as time off work.
VO: Okay, Your Visa has been approved.
Me: Thank you.

Hubby helped pick up cus I had to head back out.

In all I say THANK GOD, it went very well. No document was requested although I had them all in a folder with me. Thank you urblackpearl for the info on updating my profile. Thank you Chirolechic.
Thank you everyone who responded to my questions and chipped in.

Now it's ticket things... Still searching the thread for info... but thought to put it out here... Cus wakanow of 2015 or Airfrance or BA of 2015 and now might not be same experience... So please do I go with Wakanow or buy ticket by myself? Airfrance or BA? What are they like with pregnant women and women with infants? Flight with one stop for 4hrs or two stops first for 8hrs then 3hrs? Two stops is obviously cheaper but without accommodation? Traveling by myself, worried it will be stressful. Airfrance two stops has Delta Airline in between, any issues envisaged with using another airline to connect.

Interview was in Lagos.

Chirolechick:
Better you do it now, the earlier the better, I don't know about weekend responses, but you will get a response on monday and they'll let you know the earliest appointment date

Thanks a lot

Chirolechick:
My dear just do like I said up there, you can try abuja option if they decline your emergency request, but i'm sure it will work, i've tried it before

Okay dear, just to be extra sure with my planning this time... If I want to do the interview on say Thursday, is Monday too early or too late to submit the emergency request? Hubby and I checked for a trend this week and noticed that when you click the emergency request option it shows you the next day as interview date.
Or should I just send the request today (do they respond over the weekend)?

Thank you so much for your response.
