Good morning house,

My wife had a baby in June, i want to renew my visa as the one year Dropbox window for me will elapse in November. Her visa will expire in January.

Can we both renew together in November though her visa is still valid?

Do we need to include all the payment receipts, itemized bills in the application?

If called for interview will it be the two of us appearing..

House please advise is needed

If your wife gave birth in USA, i advise you do not do drop box. book an interview date. A lot of people who did dropbox and have birth history in the USA are being called for interview. Just save yourself the stress of having to look for date and all that.

Hello Mrs oke, my wife is planning on the California birth trip early next year I don't mind a few tips from your experience, I just sent you a PM. Thanks

You may PM me. I gave birth in Los Angeles in 2016.

Although, I am looking forward to give birth in either Atlanta or Maryland. Maybe Texas too depend on the price .

I don’t want to go to LA this time because of the distance. Too far

Thanks to everyone who has made valuable contributions here. I had my interview today and visa was approved. Interview was short but the VO took his time to go through my documents. I have never travelled before. Applied earlier with my family but was refused on the grounds of no strong ties to return back. I applied again but alone and visa was approved. God was truly involved cos it could only have been possible with him.

@ Nana89 Hi dear, please which hospital in Baltimore did you use? kindly share please, the info is really needed urgently. Thank you so much.
I wish your Hubby a successful interview next time.

hi dear, I'm just seeing this. I'm using university of Maryland st joseph hospital which is in towson(a baltimore county), there is also university of maryland hospital in proper downtown baltimore. one thing for sure with maryland is that hospitals here aren't as cheap as other southern states. ill be here if you've got any more questions. cheers!

First decide which city you want to have your baby then use Google to look for hospitals and doctors
Next contact both hospitals and doctors to see which falls into your budget.
Apply for visa if you don't have one already.
Plan your logistics and accommodation
That's all

Good day house
Please I have an enquiry and I appeal to members of the thread to help with their opinion.
I,my wife and son applied for the B1/B2 VISA and have been denied twice.my wife got pregnant after we made the second application and we planned to state to the vo clearly if there is any question about the pregnancy.my question is that is it possible that my wife alone applies for the birthing visa because she is due late Jan
She will be applying alone and we have started contacting doctors.
What are the chances please house .

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Toopee: 12:50pm On Oct 05, 2018
I do need a clarification here guys, does being married has more certainty of getting a visa than being single?

I am single and planning to have my baby in the US , and my fiancé is the sole sponsor of the trip.

I would be going alone and wouldn’t be staying with family so, I have my apartment sorted.

WHAT ARE MY CHANCES as my marital status is SINGLE?

Since I have all the time in my hands waiting for my LO and in the spirit of giving back, I'll be sharing my experience.
I arrived the dreaded Houston IAH 2 weeks ago with no issues with immigration and wasn't sent for secondary checking. The immigration officer even jokingly asked if I came in with gari, beans or egusi. I was just laughing thinking my Naija sisters don reach here.
Kept my appointment at Dr X. Office the next day and paid his fees, epidural as well as hospital's fee. They don't give medal for pain so I came prepared for epidural. The accomodation I got is quite close to HNWMC and very comfortable.
Mamas in the house, please from which store can I get bottle sterilizer with Nigerian voltage? I don't want to be using step down with it in Nigeria.


@ayomiidele can you PM me or respond to my email.thanks in advance.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by DeeandGLady: 4:20pm On Oct 05, 2018
Hello All,
I feel a lot better now to talk about it so others can learn. My Visa was REVOKED recently on the day of my mums interview. If you recall my previous post, my mom was to have her interview although I wanted to change her interview date until am gone but there were no dates available before my delivery and I will be having a CS, so we prayed and trusted God that all will be fine with her interview, I even asked if ones visa could be revoked, Little did I know it would happen to me and things will turn out this way. I really can’t type the whole transcript of what happened, I might take almost 4 Pages here if I do that besides am saving my energy for child birth. grin

I tried to reapply after the VO revoked my visa cos her last words were Madam you can reapply, go and reapply, I have written it here that you can reapply, but to my greatest surprise I found myself In front of the same VO who revoked my visa on the day of my interview (Yes oo same VO) and her problem was how did I get an interview date, (note this was about a month difference in date from my moms interview) she said they are fully booked and waiting period is 4 months so how did I get date, una see me see Wahala ba smiley infact if you know how that day also went you will cry for me and this baby, the things our eyes have seen and ears heard. But in all am thankful to God and I find Peace staying back to have my baby here, as I don’t know God’s will and plans for me and this baby but to wait on his will. In God’s hands lies our destiny no one can change that fact. Try do your best and leave the rest to God.

Please note, I have been to the US several times and I have never committed any crime Ooo I had also written to the embassy of my plans and got a reply from them (check my previous post) Before my mums interview.
I renewed my visa when I was not pregnant via interview cos my previous visa wasn’t issued in Nigeria so I didn’t qualify for drop box, My first baby was born in US, I paid all my bills and have all receipts , itemized bill and Zero balance letters, so I came clean in everything guys.
I had way above 20k dols for the trip in my statement.

I was invited in for questioning on the day of my mums interview after I dropped her off, she had already been given the white paper and asked to come and call me I don’t know who that VO went to consult that changed everything by the time I got in, while I was with her she kept going in an coming out, infact make I stop here, I don’t want to break down again, am putting the past behind me.

My Advice:
Stay away from cheap hospitals, HNWMC has a red flag with US VO, the miracle moment package given to self pay patients has something to do with insurance, read in between the lines on the document usually sent. They have a list of hospitals with red flag.

Make sure you have your Nigeria address on your child/Children’s birth certificates.

If you did not get your visa for birthing, send your letter of intent quietly, carry your self go US go born your pikin. Am reading about one sister trying to apply for her sister Biko sister hold on. Ladies once you have your visa, I beg manage your husband will be fine, go born come home, don’t complicate issues cos theses people are making things difficult for Nigerians these days. I forgot to mention that in September they passed a document that will make it difficult for Nigerian to get US visa, wish I can screenshot and post here so please let’s be careful.

After your birthing experience, before another missionary journey try travel elsewhere so you have good travel history.

Never stop saying the truth, Prepare well and Pray very well before your interview, so your village people go miss road, dey no go find you reach US embassy gate grin

Ehen ooo those going to have baby or those who are planning to come back and can help a sister with about 3-5kg of some very important items please indicate or PM me God go bless you for me grin

Sorry for the long post so you see that if I have to type the whole transcript part 1 and 2 some people will beat me here smiley
