Eyaah ! Oga Justwise maka why na? Will mis their thread/contributions thereon sorely.... Sob, son. Kai! Thanks to them both for their time on those threads and nairaland generally, it did clear up a lot of misconceptions on the various US visa matters. God bless you both!

You are welcome bro! Chanbaby is someone that has even birthed in the US sef, I believe she understands the intricacies of this. I'm however worried on three grounds for her, the first being if the visa in question was issued for birthing purpose or was used for the purpose it was issued first before birthing. The others being that I see a Canada twist too, and I wonder why she didn't ask this question in the birthing thread where she is actually a key follower. Well, well! All well and good....

Thanks alot for all ur contibutions. The visa in question is a B2 visa and it was used for the purpose for which it was issue which is child birth. Yes, I wanted to birth in Canada but changed my mind based on some personal reasons. i didnt ask the question there cos i felt alot of people there are newbies.
I just confirmed from someone in the US now with same visa expiration issue and no issues at poe cos she disclosed her intent and she was stamped in for 6months and will be back soon.. Thanks again

Mr man, I know say u won try display say u sabi talk funny and Mk people laugh, but no b by force to comment, if u don't have any thing good to say u can kukuma shut up pass,
There's no need to even explain anything to u

Okay Mrs. Woman, I have heard you. But I no go shut any up.... If na to attend conference you dey find this visa for, e go better for you, if na to run, I no go swear for you, but you still dey God and the various Nigerians (wey even though dem qualify for visa but dem dey refuse dem because of "witches and wizards" like you attitude) hand!

Chanbaby:


Thanks alot for all ur contibutions. The visa in question is a B2 visa and it was used for the purpose for which it was issue which is child birth.

Then no cause for a single worry na, if your burden of proof is in tact again this time. Renew your visa only when you are back from this next missionary journey, my humble advice. Don't dare yourself unnecessarily renewing now!

nawa oooo ... do you have U.S visa? why are they applying without you?

seyewest:

The thing scatter for my eyes too. Intelligent question there. Would have said the timing of their trips ain't smooth because of the May UK trip, but then it was without the kids even. Would have preferred maybe she calculated and said what her monthly average income from all source was first before going into details if further probed....

I like the way she presented your finances. However you are just coming back from your trip to the UK and you want to head to the US with 4 kids. That's a lot of expenses without enough room for recovery.

I don't think the VO believed your wife when she explained why the kids didn't travel with you. You could have shifted your travel plans to accommodate them since it wasn't work related. I also saw a previous post that you stated reason you are just three traveling to the UK is to reduce costs. I don't know if you meant this but I think that's what the VO also believed.

Did you apply for the US Visa before leaving for the UK? If you did then it would seem that your real target was the US. It would seem that after your refusal in January for your conference you applied to the UK with the US still in mind. This could be read as desperation.

dont post this trash again . he had all the chances .

Chief Azuh on the beat...SMH.

@twise
I don't think you guys did anything wrong.
I believe you guys are just victims of the stricter and stingent standard that they have set and no one but them understand.
Maybe as the whole family want to travel, they imagine y'all wanna run away. Dooh. I suggest you guys do another location

she didn't get visa because she didn't take 'documents' ba?

Thanks Madam G.

Am thinking of applying for UK for the kids too since we the parents visas are still valid. Or do France for all. Thanks

Thanks for your comments.

My wife just told me now that the Vo asked about " purpose of travelling to the UK " and she answered for family vacation"

The timing might probably be an issue as stated here.

His response is 'sweeting' my belle die . Classic! I believe too that himself and his wife know way better than the noisemaker forming class 'monitor' here.... Lolz

Chanbaby:
pls can one travel to the US in Oct with a visa that will expire in Nov and stay till Jan? Will there b an issuoe?

Yes you can with that visa validity however your length of stay depends on how long the cdp officer grants u but usually one is stamped 6months stay

Fyorgyn:


I have put up a link to debunk that.

It really is NOT illegal to stay on an expired visa as long as you are within the time stamped at the POE. What is illegal is if you stay beyond the time stamped at POE even with a VALID VISA.

As for renewal... A lot of people I know have renewed before expiration and have gotten their visas without much ado. For instance, if I have a conference to attend every August and my visa expires in August, I will begin renewal in June or July to account for any unexpected delays.

You are so right. People have travelled this way severally. In fact I've landed USA the very day my visa expired and you know what the cbp officer said..."giiiirl you so smart" and we both had a good laugh, I was stamped in 6 months even though I only stayed for few days like about 14 or 16days can't Remember.

As for renewal, I've renewed more than twice without issues though I haven't renewed before my visa expiration. .....don't have reasons to allow my visa run while I don't have reasons to travel yet

Although this is not recommended for some countries as in staying beyond visa validity. So you may need to check with the country's visa terms and conditions

Chanbaby:


thanks alot for ur response. @seyewest i lack words for u . i leave u with ur opinion and ur false conclusion.

Hey! This uncalled for.

It's actually illegal to stay beyond visa expiration based on normal immigration standard just that the usic and the cic have some immigration exceptions that differs from other countries that's why you just have to always check. Mind you immigration rules are not static it's very dynamic just as humanity is.

So my dear kool temper am sure seyewest responded based on standard requirement.

Rol3nd:
Base on present and past posts.... Whosoever is that @seyewest i just don't like you for any reason...

Kai! Nija like to hear only what they love to hear.

Bros no be so o, life itself is a risk it's not always what or how we wants it to be, we can only strive for perfection.

You cannot like everyone just as everyone cannot like you, it's a give or take situation. Everyone has a right to his/her opinion or feelings

OmoBendel24:
Will help out here.... Even if you arrive at the front of a CBP Officer a day to the expiration of your visa, it's not illegal. Just have a reasonable purpose of visit. Our sister that asked this question here today actually wants to go birth in the US.

My take on this in the light of recent happenings is that if she has previously used the visa for the purpose for which it was issued, she

Spot on!

Our Hanty wud have stated clearly her intents instea of causing 2 fighting here.

Now I will tell you a personal story. Many years ago, my colleague once presented herself at the usa POE when she wanted to birth one of her baby, she was stamped in; hoping that it will be business as usual but unfortunately she didn't check until like the 3rd month after only to discover that she was stamped for just 1 month. THe cdp officer knew she was there for child birth but my colleague booked a 1 month return ticket with the intention to change date when she has a conclusive date.

So pls help us tell Hanty to always state it clearly the way it is so that the appropriate feedback will be transmitted.
