cinakin:
how about organization name? do they mean hospital or host place of work?

Use ur host place of work... although personally, I feel that space is for if an organisation is hosting you
Also use ur hubby as sponsor on the form. You can explain to the VO verbally if you'll be co-sponsoring... Point out the transfers 4rm ur hubby on the statement if necessary
As for the denial, I don't really know cos I've not been denied b4 but I don't think they give explanations to peeps as to why they were denied sha)

Thank u so much.i will start talking to doctors from monday,checked part 1 it was really helpful.didnt see anything on burden of proof but saw budget sheet and also read reviews of some hospitals and doctors.pls is MIHS still doing d maternity package of $2888 or has it increased also what is port health.

Burden of proof are all the documents needed for visa interview. It is also used at the POE to show the CBP or when sent to secondary inspection, showing them you are well prepared. For example
Doctor's correspondence, Budget sheet
Fit to fly, notification/change of intent letters to and from the embassy, statement of account etc to mention a few... or any other documents that you think would be necessary. @cinakin the above answer applys to you too.

For MIHS, you have to call or email them to clarify that.
The word 'port' means to change from one doctor or state to another. For port health someone mentioned something relating to that some pages back. I hope this helps

Seconded @ Oga Shawlar's suggestion. I think though that you can either fill in the Contact Person OR the Organisation, not both. So it's just one of the radio buttons that can be active. I don't remember ever having to fill in both and I usually use the place I'm staying at i.e Hotel or Host details. I stand to be corrected though.

@ Teefex, I don't think MIHS still accepts non locals. It was comprehensively discussed in part 2 I think. So it's a no go area. Port Health is like the Public Health representative/department of Federal Ministry of Health and they're present in some of the International Airports in Nigeria ie Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt... Im not sure of the other ones. They issue the Government approved Vaccination/Yellow Fever certificates required for certain countries and also Medical fitness to fly letters as I learnt from this thread

MiddyO:


I agree with Nerf as per US Embassy's skoin skoin in London. I have experienced it first hand.
In my opinion you don't really have ties to either the UK (as per your rejected leave to stay), or Naija (as you are not even present there yet).
I suggest you relocate on time to Nigeria and settle down before applying.

How far along are you? Do you have other children? Are your parents in Naija? Your house rent/mortgage is a good tie to your country as well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply, Im currently 25 weeks , my parents are in Nigeria,I have an 18 month old daughter as well. We are returning as a family so accomodation has been arranged however no jobs yet but fingers crossed hubby gets one before my appointment in december. My father has decided to help with the trip any suggestions

OK that's nice but I hope ur going on Monday in respect of appt u hv with doc. If u go to the hospital cos of palpitations, they will raise up some unnecessary issues which might cost u. It's a normal thing to experience such during 3rd trimester cos of increased baby weight and lack of exercise .so be warned. Cos one lady went to hospital in one oyibo forum am following and she was charged $350 for false alarm of this type and she was full of regret.

@ozycy @Shrekandfiona @Enyinne.
I have stayed in bed 24hrs now, and increased my food and water intake. The palpitations have stopped as well as the dizzy. Would be at the clinic on Monday. Your reply helped me stay calm, Words cant express my gratitude. Thank you all.

I agree with him.
IMO u have no biz with your host's place of work. Keep it simple.
Fill contact which is ur address. Leave the other. I don't believe I filled it.
Free advice @ Cinakin : calm down. You are sounding panicked

legendsmother:

Thanks so much @tobermum
But with d naija passport now, u don't need a visa or anything on it for baby to leave to naija abi?
But wait oo if its roughly 100 bucks and takes barely 48hrs how come most people still prefer to do naija visa which is almost 3 times d cost?
Or it can only be done in NYC only?

Dentale:

You don try my sister!
Baby is kicking and summersaulting sef. Lol. We are counting down... I will post my story when d time comes. Boring or otherwise. Lol

Lool, Abeg post, all na part of the contribution/ learning process all the best

twingirls:




Aren't you a darling? I'm set to travel 1st week of Dec, I'm trying to put my house in order since dh won't be going wt me and am heading Houston, where any authorised notary public can notorised my form. Now you've made my day and save me more hours of investment on research. I can now go on to make my ekuru (white moimoin) and ata dindin (fried stew wt locust beans) my latest craving [size=8pt][/size]

@twin girls, did I hear u say Ekuru? how u make me salivate dis morning. Where are u from cos its a delicacy in my village.

twingirls:



Please tell me something? Is it for real? Can I do 23kg of 3 bags plus stroller and car seat, all for free? Laugh ke? Who no like awoof?

yes o. I had two car seats, one stroller, four hand luggage (me and mil) two babies hand luggages, and the rest normal luggages

ozycy:

15 bags without extra pay . Am entering BA next time I want to travel . Not for birthing ooo. @ Sayoberry, it's like that our plan of birthing after 10 years have been thwarted . I changed my mind.

why naaa

ozycy:

It's written on their website. My friend paid $75 cos of excess weight cos she packed 23kg for her baby instead of 10kg.

when its 23kg for baby on ba

cinakin:
hello experts in the house, please what should i write in the explain why i was rejected a visa question? should i write what was given to me in the white or blue paper(been rejected twice) or explain that i wasnt married then, but now i have a husband and family here. also the sponsor part,there is no option for co sponsor?should i put self or hubby? the money for the expenses is in my account, but hubby transfered some to me. although i am gonna print both our statements. please help a sister in dire need of clarifications. my appointment is nextweek please. been readng part 1 and 2 but havent seen those parts yet, and i frankly dont have enough time,wish i found here early.

This is an opportunity to explain ur case and put urself in a good standing before u meet the vo

Yes u don't know exactly why u were denied but u have idea. Use the space to tell the vo what has changed in ur circumstances btw then and now

For example my husband had been denied twice and I assumed it's because he had an immigration case pending even tho they dint tell him. When we got married and I filled his form I used that space to explain why he isn't a flight risk, married, good job, earns x amount etc, for the first time ever during his interview his pending immigration status did not even come up and he got the visa

So for people that have been denied before that is the most important part of the form in my opinion

cinakin:
thank you so much Lady G and shawlar, the problem i had has been rectified, but i wanna ask a few questions please for clarification.
in the ds 160 form where they said contact person in the us" should it be my host or the docotor's?
and the organziation name in the us,should it be my host place of work or the hospital's name?
the contact address should it be my host or hospital?
and relationship as well??
i saw phema's post of something like that but its not similar.
quite confused and stuck.

It can't be ur hosts place of work. Or are they the ones that invited u?

legendsmother:
@neifititiram na u send me enter research hahahah if u see d way I dey call they talk wif confidence to these people this last deal of maternity package I was talking with the head of maternity direct for emails na so I dey send her to send me info dis one dat 1 if d woman know say d belle sef neva enta she nor go forgive me heheheheheh

Apply for ur visa now so u can get a normal visiting visa. I wish you a bfp before the year runs out

Meanwhile Iv pm'd you o! Pls share let's know if we are changing direction, although ticket has been bought

sayoberry:


why naaa

My dear, this pregnancy journey no be small something ooo.
All the memories starting from morning sickness down to labour pain, Choi.
I have hang boot.

@ cinakin,
I think you should explain why you were denied in the space provided if you hav any idea. I explained mine after I was refused and yes the VO read it thoroughly and was nodding before she looked up to ask me the normal routine questions. I assume she v already made up her mind to issue the visa after reading my reason for refusal.

ozycy:

i saw your post of something like that but its not similar in part 1.
quite confused and stuck, also isnt burden of proof letter frm doc and corespondence, what exactly is burden of proof, am still learning.

Dunno if this has been handled.

Your contact person should be your host, same for the contact address. The relationship is the relationship between you and your host. Is s/he a friend, uncle, aunty, cousin etc?

Your contact organisation should be your hospital's/Dr's office (either address or phone number).

For burden of proof, please refer to page 105 of part 1.

[quote author=jayjay4lyf post=39794253][/quote]
You don't need a Naija visa if you have Naija passport. People go for Naija visa even dou it's more expensive cos they are not in New York, Maryland and Atlanta where dey have Nigeria consulate. If to say dem get bus wey dey go new York, Maryland or Atlanta from Houston, I for enter am reach der. .
OK am still wondering how pple with Naija passport and American passport do the stamping in and stamping out stuff with immigration. Which ppt do you present or does immigration stamp when you are leaving. Enlighten me.

When you are leaving and entering Naija you present the Naija passport

When you are entering the us or any other country that American citizens are exempted from visa you use the American Pali

Thanks to all those that gave Abuja hospital recommendation. Please does anyone have personal experience with any of themy as in you have used/currently using one and can say for a fact that it's good. Pls respond. Thank you

Very correct.

When you fill the contact person's column, contact organisation doesnt come up. It only comes up when you tick "does not apply" for the contact person's column.

Hello tobermom,
Please, can you kindly tell me the hospital you used in New york and the doctor you used. I really want to attempt VBAC and need a VBAC friendly doctor that will encourage me and not advice me to do another CS again. Please, I will be glad if you can assist a sister. Thanks
