As dem no gree answer u na, u gats do copy and paste
Let me attempt to answer you ( I stand corrected )
Concentrate on ur US visa, (if u like have all the visas whether expired or not, if they wanna deny, dey will)
Gather your burden of proof ( I assume u know what that is)
Read the thread from part 1 to this page
If u read through the thread you'll see "testimonies" or preggy mums who went for visa interview with virgin passports, they've never travelled outside lagos sef (just kidding).
So get ur pen and jotter and start reading( if u hate to write Oya open msword connect ur printer and start copying pasting and printing)

Hmm... That UK rejection stamp is going to be a flag. They will likely ask you for why you were rejected and quoting insufficient funds doesn't help your medical tourism application.

I will strongly recommend you reapply for a UK visa first before you proceed to US.

British embassy is more lenient to first timers and would generally issue you a visa with proper documentation.

I have always used tourist visa and would usually just book hotels to avoid all these letter of invitation drama.

But honestly, has your circumstance really changed? I.e you now earn or have more money?

FinanceFitness:
@firsttymum- interestingly, I did 2 interviews at American embassy before drop box and each time they referred to my UK visa - first time VO said hmm, I see you have 2yrs UK visa, that's cool. Second time, I see you have a valid 5yrs visa.

And guess what, when I was entering US this last time, the CBP officer asked me why I was refused the very first time I applied for a UK visa, which was many many years ago - thats after having many issued visas subsequently.

My view is that they know the documentation requirements for the British embassy is huge, they are not huge on documentation, so having the former helps corroborate their decisions.

But at the end of it all, prayer works and of God says yes, no number of rejection stamp will change it.

While you may be very right.
I think they can work their way around it with a gud back story as to why they wanna go to the states em all.

When I and my family went for interview, we just recently (like 2 months old) got the big rejection stamp from France embassy.
What we did was top build travel history by taking a 4 day vacation to dubai with layover in Ethiopia (yeah! Dt adds to travel history lol)..
As such we weren't asked why the rejection. ..just if we have b4 n I said yes. ..

Tnxie much

When I applied for US visa it was on a fresh passport (change of name)
They detached my other passport that has my travel history before I got to the VO.
And No question about if I had travelled before came up

Congrats! How does one make an appointment at the hospital? Do they accept over the phone appointment or it has to be in person? Thanks

I need advice please for my future visa interview. When I went for my Visa interview i stated that I was going to MIHS hospital in Arizona but I came to Maryland instead. Before I had my baby, my husband wanted to join me to witness my baby's delivery so we applied for the interview and told the truth that I'm in Maryland. He was rejected based on 2 reasons.
1. I changed my location
2. I didn't give him a copy of my visa page and entry page

He went again in July fully prepared and was rejected again. Now I am scared that I may be rejected if I want to reapply and he might get rejected as well. Please I need advice on this our issue so we can be prepared when the time comes.

at 21weeks. if i apply for uk end ugust, wait for response to come like sept 14. then start U.S. i must fly to usa b4 preg is 34weeks old

anonymousmum:
Hmm these stories about husband being denied, if we are better prepared we can avoid stories that touch...

When my husband was applying, I was already in the US. I packaged these documents for him before i left (you know men, if you leave them do do these things it will never happen smh)

My Biodata page - they asked him for this
My US Visa Page
Photo copy of my UK, Schengen visa plus all the visa's I have ever had sef lol
Receipts of payments (his interview was 4 days after I got to the US so I had made all payments sharp sharp and sent the receipts to him, they asked him for this)
Letter of Change of Intent that I had received from Lagos and Abuja (they actually asked for this and apparently was the deciding factor in granting him the visa)
Evidence of accommodation booking
Marriage certificate
Evidence of past holidays together with photographs lol
My letter from the office stating I was qualified for leave


Plus his own normal documents that he would take - bank statements, letter of employment payslips etc.

Mind you he had been denied about 10 years ago, but had since gone to UK, Dubai, etc

Now I can compete with Phema with burden of proof award hehe

Hey! I didnt even mean to insult her. Referring to somebody as a clown doesnt in anyway defame the person's character. It simply means she is a funny person. That ain't no name calling,do not make a mountain out of a molehill. You may want to check your dictionary!
