Hello Nairalanders,

I'm a newbie here. i've had a long read and i'm almost exhausted however, i have a few questions to ask. I'll appreciate good leads.
I hold a 2 years b1/b2 visa, went for vacation with hubby in July 2015. Now i'm preggers and we plan to have an Obama baby my questions is as follows:

1. Do i need to write a letter of change of intent as i wasn't pregnant at the time i went for interview and i wasn't asked any question about being pregnant.

2. I have relatives in Raleigh, North Carolina (NC) but what i have been reading about their bill isn't smiling at all. Is there a package similar to El paso or MHIS at NC. I'll appreciate leads. (Note: we're comfy to stay where we have relatives)

Hello danowena,

Daycare is the equivalent of hiring someone to babysit your child while you go out for the night. It is not education and does not require a special visa as such. Education including and beyond kindergarten (whether public or private), however, is not allowed on a B1/B2 visa.

Regards,

Sweetheart, I hope am crossing any line.wipe your eyes sharply. Don't you know how to smile and nod your head then go ahead with your own plans.
Make sure you are in charge of your travel plans and and all monies are in your account even if it's in hubby's account systematically hold the cards. Then jejely port to Elpaso and later handle hubby and daddy with sweet talk. Meanwhile as a story that touch the pocket warning,check Olaideodes post about birthing in North Carolina. Cheers

Okay. But it just crossed my mind now, maybe the illegal enrolling is for kids on B1/B2....my LO is a citizen, so she's not carrying B1/B2.....does that still apply?

firsttymum:

Thanks a lot dear. It's actually from the hospital not the Doctor. Just to be sure are you using a Baylor hospital? Hope I'm not asking too much info.

MetroTee:


No you're not asking too much I'm using centennial though

Bisoye82:

Geez why the over dramatization . I believe the person who asked the question gets what am saying
Is it the father or the hubby that will do the VBAC?
And moreover she took her time to do research and decide with hubby on where they want to go to before Daddy decided to throw a spanner in her plans although he has good intentions(trying to help them save cost) and hubby doesn't want to offend father in l

I renewed my visa last week via Dropbox. I had read about people being called for interviews even after applying via dropbox and I didn't want to attend a second interview. For my initial visa I applied with my husband for tourism (I was pregnant at the time of application) but later learnt that people were mailing the consulate to declare change of intent, so I did that and got a generic response. I used the visa in 2014 to give birth and again in 2015 for vacation.

For the renewal we agreed that I should apply for a medical visa instead of stressing over anything while he applied for business/tourism. Same B1/B2 just different reasons and different intended length of visit. 3 months for me , 2 weeks for him. So I was certain that I would be called for interview, anyway I wasn't, my visa was renewed after 4 days.

Question now is has anyone had any experience with this quarantining thing? Or is it just peculiar to dallas. They keep telling me that to give birth in the hospital (which I used last time oh) I have to have been in the state or the US for 30 days prior to delivery and that anyone who intends to join me in L and D must also meet that requirement. Does anyone know about this and is it strictly applied?

Which hospital?
