Hope you are doing well.
GBU my sister. This is the most reasonable answer to this lady's predicament so far. Thank God for a thread like this Most of you forming holier than thou would have fallen into the same trap. Even though I've never been in support of misrepresentation and will never be ( instead to lie na Yankee I no go go ) but when ever there is an issue like this lets be civil in the way we respond to the poster and not just had pepper to the injury. We all learn everyday nobody knows it all. An issue like this gives other people an opportunity to learn but if we keep casting stones like we are doing people will be scared to come share their experiences.

@ebonychic18 thank you so much. I will just reapply b2 and tell the truth that I am going for child birth and take all my correspondence (Even tho Dr and Hospital wants me to come in before I pay) but while filling the form the part that asks if you traveling with a companion do I state my kid there or not? Baby is a citizen. Thanks again.
of course state your child. Just try and be transparent this time around.

Hope you are doing well.

While I would have preferred thag you do not reapply at this time, if you insist on reapplying I would suggest that you do the following and make your reapplication more about being honest and starting to establish trust again with the embassy than about wanting to obtain the B2 visa at all costs.

Please consider the following if you can.

1. When filling the form state as much as you can to clearly show that you intend to have a baby again in the US.

E.g in reason for refusal, tell the absolute truth about all that has transpired.

In contact information use your intended doctor etc. In length of stay estimate and state the actual time you truly intend to stay.

2. I would advise against bringing in this baby needs to see a pediatrician angle. Quite frankly it looks to me like you're trying to anchor on your baby being a citizen to get a visa. This is not favourable to someone who is trying to prove non-immigrant intent in a visa application.

3. On whether you should even travel with your child or state that you're doing so. Would it be easy for you to establish any other ties to Nigeria (considering you already said you're not married to the the baby daddy?) What other ties can you rely on?

4. Ensure all documentation is available for the appointment ie doctor and hospital appointment, your budget etc.

5. Please don't state anything about having a sudden medical emergency while on the annotated visa, just tell the whole truth and be prepared to face the consequences.

6. In the event of an unfavourable interview please accept it as the consequence of your mistakes and do not reapply until circumstances have truly changed preferably on another pregnancy.

7.in the event of a favourable interview please do not exceed the stated time you applied with, pay your bills and return once you're done.

Ensure that you use the doctor/hospital as stated in your application.

I sincerely wish you the best.
so detailed!

Good morning all, its good to be on this family supporting thread that has been so helpful. Though I am new and I have read through many posts and successes. I would appreciate your advice and contributions on this prospect. My wife and I wishes to have our baby in the US but I just secured admission to apply for F1 visa category, do you advice my wife apply for F2 visa to give birth or she should apply for B1/B2 visa category. Note she intend going with her Mum for the interview to assist her during the period of childbirth and after. My wife is working, her mum is working and I am also working too. Please who do you think should apply first, me or her? Please just advice. We have gotten a hospital in California and a doctor correspondence as well, waiting for the doctors invitation letter.

How far gone is she?
Me thinks it's easier to go via the visitor's route

Hello, thanks for taking out your time to reply me. Ok so the thing is I was not faced with much questions or difficulties during my interview last week because all the VO asked was why do I want to go to the same state I went to previously and I said for Vacation, He now asked me duration of my last visit I said 6month which was the truth and he went ahead to ask what I was doing there for that long and I answered birth my child and immediately I brought out my zero balance to show him, he collected it went through it and started typing and handed me the section 214b refusal paper (that refusal is based on having no strong ties to ones country from what I have read) so now the issue is back to your no 1) suggestion I have a family I am to stay with and they have sent a letter which I used in filling the last week application and they are still willing for me to stay with them also, so I was thinking I should still maintain that contact so I don't contradict every part of my application, also to your no 3) I am married traditionally now with my baby dad but yet to do court n white (after this delivery we would do that) but while filling the form that got me denied last week I filled single because I didn't know if they accepted our traditional marriage or not. So now I want to state that I am married traditionally and take pictures with me to show. Will that be good enough ties? Or you advice I don't take my child with me? He's just 1yr+ and very glued to me

Ok, here is me being polite. Don't reapply for the next 5years, except you can ascertain you have not been banned.

I mentioned using an immigration lawyer, I think they are the ones that can get your banned or not banned status from the embassy. If you haven't been banned, you can go ahead to build a defence. If you have been banned, I heard Canada is pretty nice in summer and Brazil also gives citizenship grin


Lol...honestly if not for this forum a lot of people make mistakes and once they do the fear of doing the right thing pop on then. Brazil does give citizenship you go just need stay for 2 years.

Wow. You really funny though. People that have worse criminal cases are not banned yet then it's me. Anyway, to answer your question I wasn't banned because I was given the section 214b paper that's explains refusal based on no ties/not been able to proof you are not an intending migrant. When one is banned, 3yrs or 5yrs they are given a 212 paper or something like that (not too sure the section again) form to let them know they have been banned. Cheers

@nefertitiram. Thanks very much, 16 weeks gone. if she is going through the visitors route, do you advice she goes first for the interview with mumsy , then later I can go for my own F1 or I go first before she goes.

Just cos you asked me... me thinks:

She goes with mum for the b2 visa. You remain at home as ties. If they get it, all well and good. If they don't get it, there is plan B, F2 visa. Now I don't know how long that will take for you guys.

Anyways, all the best
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by ChicMalkia: 3:06pm On May 16, 2016
My sincere advise is first allow your wife go the B1/B2 route for medical purposes... Let her apply with her mum as well. She need not say anything about why you ain't applying however if she is asked why her hubby (you) ain't applying as well, then she can state that you have been offered admission to study in the US and thus will be later applying for a F1 visa. If she isn't asked then she shouldn't give out that information.

All the best with whatever decision you decide to take...

Modified: lolzzz @nefertitiram I actually jumped on your mention...my bad...lolz...I seriously didn't see that it was directed at you until like now...lolz...

lets not mistake politeness with truthfulness.

we tend to sugarcoat issues here and the persons in need of advice / recommendations thus downplay the implications of their actions.

no matter how harsh whatever comments / contributions seem to you, just take the message and get on with arming yourself on the next move whilst factoring in parameters necessary for your decision making process.

i really wish you get what you desire and good luck!

PS: try to figure out a straightway of getting out of this tight corner and don't bending any rules to sooth your case because i surmise you may have been flagged and searchlight beamed on your profile.. ciao

As advised by others, let wifey & mum apply 1st for B2 visa. Let her go, give birth & come back before you go for your F1 visa.

Since wifey is working, no need to apply for F2 even if you're granted F1 because she won't be able to work for the duration she's there and she won't be able to school either. She can always come visiting with her B2. That is if your plan is just studies o

In all honesty, there are so many inconsistencies in your story and you sound desperate already.

If you were my sister, I'll advise that you abort all visa plan for now, have this baby in Naija or elsewhere give some time maybe a year and reapply.

Congratulations, love.
1st thing, RELAX!! It was one of the hardest advice I had to take but that's really what u need to do.
Baby was in d NICU for about 9 days. Total bill which included NICU, neonatologists, constant labs, my extra stay(had complications, hence c/s by 34weeks), Dr, was all about 17k. WHMC. 2013. Will find d receipts later and post d breakdown.
Most of what I did most mornings, was make calls asking for self pay discounts when I got any new bill, some I got up to 70% discounts and some less.
Just Thank God baby is fine. Mine is now a big, cute madam, it's hard to imagine she was 1.9kg then..
She can be discharged before she's 2.5kg, it just depends on how She is responding, how active and how she feeds.

When I mentioned this in the office today, most people were of the opinion that Havana has lost its salts. One babe said she ran away from admission there after she was misdiagnosed.

Hi mama,
I've read what everyone had to say/write to you and I think you should reapply .
This time, just like everyone said be truthful. Read the thread and draw inspiration from those that never gave up..
Whatever the outcome, you'll know you tried your best to rectify the mistake from the past.
If you were not so far gone, I would have advised you to try Canada as well but I'm hopeful for your sake that your interview will be successful.
Many people have made mistakes like this in the past, some have been lucky while some were not.
Overall, just remember you're pregnant and don't stress yourself too much.
Good luck with everything.

Children are a gift from God so don't worry you'll definitely cope. When you say re entry do you mean travelling again to birth? If that what you mean then you need everything you used to enter during your first trip and also your receipts from the latter just incase the ask , flight ticket too na wink etc
