Hi everyone,

I am thinking of using Oakbend and Dr F.......Please i need information on accommodation . Also please what is the email for the embassy to inform them on intent to change reason of visit.

Plus why do we need a notarized letter? at what point is this necessary?

Hello @baeboss.

Could you please help with the link you used for your visa on arrival application? The link on the portal says i have to be a business investor. Was this the same you used? If not could you please send me the link to the form you used and if possible a screenshot of the page. Thanks

baeboss:


Pls go to the website and submit your application letter together with the required documents (husband's data page, wife's data page, baby's data page, travel itinery etc). They will respond with two letters within two days or less. One letter contains an approval letter addressed to you while the other letter is addressed to the immigration comptroller incharge of the location you choose to arrive (lagos or abuja) instructing the officer to grant your baby visa upon the baby's arrival. You can choose to make payment online or you can pay cash or with ur card as soon as you arrive Nigeria. It is as simple as that@

Please what is the email address you sent your letter of intent to?

This information is not correct. The need to inform the embassy about your change of intent always comes after you have gone for your interview and/or already have your visa. So which interview again are you referring to?

If you send the email to LagosNIV@state.gov you will get a reply. It usually comes in this format after a couple of days...(This is what you print as evidence).

Thank you for your inquiry.

Please note that there is no legal requirement to inform us that you are seeking to give birth in the United States or that your purpose of travel has changed. The Customs and Border Protection, a branch of USCIS, determines a traveler’s eligibility of entry to the U.S, you should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking medical treatment and that you have logistical and financial plans for the treatment. You should show the border protection agents upon arrival in the U.S. your detailed birth plan, which would include correspondence with your doctor, the cost of the delivery, any receipts showing prepayments for care and evidence that you have the ability to pay for all costs while in the U.S. up to and including your living expenses.

We recommend that you review the regulations on non-immigrant aliens entering the United States for purposes of childbirth at https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/882/~/visit-the-u.s.-while-pregnant-and-the-risks-involved and plan accordingly. Please you should not stay in the U.S. longer than you are permitted by Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

If you choose to give birth in the U.S., we advise you to bring evidence of payment, both when you enter the U.S. on this visit, and at your future U.S. visa interviews.

Sincerely,

@veegurl, hope this helps?

Hello fam has anyone used Kaiser Permanente OB/GYN in Atlanta before? What's their Bill like?

Well said @AbujaNIV. The "just found out I was pregnant syndrome" can rest.
Just passing through... Hehehe

Please what is the email address you sent your letter of intent to?

TWoods:

Lol. The matter is not dying anytime soon.

Also, people don't read.

For the mamas that gave birth in Virginia,USA.How did you expedite the process for your baby's birth certificate and passport.

Thank you.

I have to reply here as I can't seem to PM you. Just call the office of vital records in Virginia, Richmond I think! They'll tell you 6-8 weeks but if you call them several times, it'll come in 2 weeks. The 6-8 weeks is just so you don't sue them if it comes in late. When you call, give them your child's details and that's all. Our child's came in the mail after 2 weeks even though they told us 6-8 weeks

Ah, i actually have read the back and forth argument on whether the letter is needed or not. For me i just want to be on the safe side. Its not going to cost anything. So if i send the email and its not needed then fine... but imagine how bad it would be if i end up meeting someone at POE that asks me why i did not declare that i was going to the US to have a baby... though in my case i used drop box and at the time of applying did not even know i was pregnant.

But my case might seem suspicious, cos out of fear for Trump administration, the minute he won the election i renewed my visa via dropbox even though i still had 2 months of visa left.

So its basically to fulfill all righteousness.

is this the email addy to send it to? Consularabuja@state.gov

The VO has confirmed that the letter is not needed.

Yes the CBP will probably ask you why you did not indicate you would be coming to the US to have a baby. But what they mean is why did you not declare this AT YOUR INTERVIEW... not in form of a letter of intent which they don't read.

The "i did not know i was pregnant" when you were applying has been overused and exposed as the sham it is.

Yes you used dropbox, but you could have reapplied for a visa interview as soon as you knew you would be changing your intent. When you did dropbox, you knew you would be using it for childbirth, but claimed you were renewing based on your earlier intent - a vacation (which was false).

She said she renewed because of Trump..omo

elfmann:

She said she renewed because of Trump..omo

Could that have been the reason filled in the form or given to the VO if she was called in for an interview for instance? Trump's name couldn't have appeared as a reason/PURPOSE for renewal at any point even though that was the reason deep down in her heart and it would only have remained in her heart surely. But then, a VACATION would, most likely!

In the days the VOs talked about needing absolutely no document for your interview if the purpose of your trip was for just a visit, it sounded abnormal, but today it seems normal not to bother about documents for such interviews. Why then kill ourselves about one meaningless paper called "Change of Intent Letter" even when "the powers that be" in such matters have emphatically stressed it to us that it is almost as worthless as a tissue paper (we too, we have come to the reality of it's worthlessness)? Do you guys need to always have some sort of back and forth as regards this? Not necessary IMO!

If it comforts the OP to go for it, let her go for it anyways, but surely it counts for nothing....

Emm uncle Twoods.. are you in my mind? I was not even Pregnant as at the time i got the visa oooooo or more like I got the visa before i even suspected a thing. so it was indeed for my normal vacation waka waka... You dont have to sound like everyone is a fraud or again maybe im just sensitive and that was not what you meant.

Can I do a dropbox and include a family member who has not been issued a US visa before...?

No you can't.

PaloInternation:

Other family members with visa should pick the dropbox option, while the one without a visa is scheduled for an interview. If a minor, one of the parent with a visa would accompany the minor for an interview.

I don't know about the one in Atlanta, but Kaiser in sacramento/ Roseville is an highbrow , expensive hospital. They don't even do self pay/ cash stuff

Thank you, i already did though and the prices im seeing are scary

FADEO:


Check abnb.com

Affordability is relative. You are looking for a 1 or 2 bed furnished apartment.

What you find around for a traveller on a budget is a room leased out in an apartment where you live with the host, not have the house to yourself, except for some airbnb apartments. A lot of mamas have stayed in houston and alot are presently there, budget travellers. Maybe check Chenonye's moniker, she recently posted on your request.

Greetings to you and all of yours.
