That excuse doesn't work always, you can read VO's responses regarding this in page 0 of this thread.

If you were pregnant during the interview then you should have disclosed that you planned to use the visa for child birth in future.

Using birth centre will not help your case though.
seems you don't understand me I was not pregnant when my visa was issued in 2017 Jan I travelled for a vacation 2017 May now am pregnant in 2018 to travel this month.

Did you disclose that during your visa interview?
my visa is a b1/b2 visa of which I travelled last year it for a vacation it has not expired that's why am travelling to have a baby with it now.
Also I didn't disclose going to have a baby at my visa interview when it issued that was not my purpose then.
Visa has been utilized for a vacation already.

TRAVEL and POE
I flew Turkish from Lagos to Newyork. I travelled exactly 3 weeks after I got my visa, November too.I went straight to Airport health to get fit to fly and gave it to my airline

1 hour to land at JFK, I cram all my doctor, hospital name, address, hotel name and address. Every damn thing ooo.

CBP: Passport please
CBP: What food do you have?
ME: Ogbonno, Garri, Stock fish, Iru, Semolina, Wheat meal
CBP: Here is your passport
ME: Thank you.

Note: I was relaxed, confident and smiling all through.

I was surprised and lost, in my mind I was thinking where will they ask me the questions i read on nairaland hmmm. So I saw some naija peeps and asked them where is the place they ask questions. They said for me to be where I am, no more question. I told them they have not stamoed me in ooo. They started laughing at me. They told me to open my passport, then I saw CBP stamped me in for 6 months. WONDER.

I passed the night in Newyork to rest, the next day I continued my journey to Houston on a local flight.

MY MUM

She went for her interview 13 days after I travelled, I already made coloured photocopy of my visa page and date page for her. I told her to go with my birth certificate too, so that they won't say she's not my mum, lol.

VO: Where are you going to in the US:
Mum: Houston, Texas
VO: For what?
Mum: My daughter is pregnant with her first child and has requested I join her to welcome the baby and care for them both. The baby is my first grandchild, I'm excited. I have my daughter Visa and data page here. (Passed it to VO:
My mum categorically told me the VO said
VO: thank you, you made my job easier
VO: When is her due date
Mum: 25th December (same date I said during my interview, train your mum/hubby well)
VO: Hey Christmas baby, so when did your daughter get to the US
Mum: Bleep
VO: Pick your visa in 3 days time

My mum arrived in the evening, I delivered a beautiful baby girl in the morning before her arrival on 23rd December. I collected zero receipt from hospital and doctor after I was discharged before going home.

Went to birth and records to get baby birth certificate after 5 days $23 in Houston
Baby SSN arrived 10 days after I gave birth
Got her passport too and I went to Turkish airline office in Houston to buy baby's ticket $93.
I got to the airport early to request for basinet. It was free.
Paid $190 for visa on arrival time in Nigeria.
I used exactly 8 weeks in the US and returned to Nigeria.


I stayed in a rented apartment, it included feeding and transportation. If you need hospital, doctor, accommodation in Houston, you can send me message. I will be more than ready to give answers.

God help us all.
Cheers (shine teeth)
