Hi People,I will appreciate your advice please. My elder brother stayed in the US for 5 months and two weeks on a B1/B2 Visit visa and he did stay that long because he had a severe stress disorder and the family advised him to go for a long vacation,he stayed with our kid sis and her family in Dallas. I got an information that he cannot cross the point of entry for a visit again because of the long stay and i am confused because he did not overstay the 180 days,he did not commit any crime or worked while in the US and his visa is still valid for 10 months. Does any have a clue on how to deal with this? he is planning to visit again in 5 months time

Good day my people, I've been following this thread from the beginning and it has helped me alot. But abeg I need help
I applied for my ist US Visa in 2015, I was about 6months pregnant and I fully declared my intention and was granted my Visa. I had my ist baby in Dallas and used MCA, in total I paid almost 11k. I also had a 2nd baby in 2017 in Houston used st luke chi and dr f. I paid about 7k5. I also collected all my receipts and zero balance and everything. I didn't overstay or use any insurance of any kind,paid all my Bill's. Fast forward to renewal of my Visa,did drop box and was invited for an interview. I was actually very shocked and speechless , it was so fast that before I could react it was over and I was denied. The vo was visibly upset infact she was RED. I was so scared thought I had committed a crime. Here's a transcript of what transpired. I wasn't pregnant at the time just wanted to renew it so applied for b1/b2 Visa.
Interview was in Abuja
Vo. Good morning
Me .good morning
Vo can I have your passport
Me. Hands it over
Vo how many times have you visited the us
Me twice in 2015 and 2017 both purposes for child birth.
(This was where everything scattered, she was typing then she looked up gradually started turning red)
Vo you were issued a Visa to have one baby and you decided to have 2 babies how convenient
Me was confused at this point was wondering if it was illegal) since it was for the same purpose and I got pregnant again and could afford the bills
Vo( she kept on repeating one Visa 2 babies, very convenient. Said this like 5 times and typing as well)
Me I was told it's ok as long as you can afford it and I paid all my bills and I'm with my receipts
Vo are you pregnant
Me no
Vo do you intend to have more babies in the us?
Me for now no, I have a boy and girl and blah blah
Vo (nodding her head in disgust like superstory ) so the only times you entered the us was to have babies
Me yes, I paid all my Bill's and I have all my receipts
Vo let me see
Me. I hand them over ( started explaining, paid about 11k for the ist blah blah
She cuts me
Vo why where you given discount
Me trying to explain self pay blah blah
Vo you were given discount, I put it to you that you used insurance
She was already so red with anger, me self do give up tire self cause it's obvious she was looking for fault
Me I didn't you can see it clearly written no insurance was used self pay
We argued back and forth when she saw she wasn't making sense she moved to the other bill. Immediately she saw it was from dr.f
Vo aha you went to dr f right,
Me yes
At this point she started typing, the only bills she used to type whatever in her computer was dr f own,she then hands me the pink form and said a bunch of rubbish me I already packed all my things cause me I don vex too.

My question is, 1.has anyone experienced this kinda thing with dr fs package, do they have anything against him?
2. Was I wrong to have used the Visa for the same purpose twice as that's what really ticked her off
3. I'm expecting now and intend to travel again, my husband wants to go for the interview to also renew his Visa but he didn't use the last one he was issued, it was a training but it was later done in Nigeria and being busy never really had the time to travel. Is it wise to apply with him or go alone .
Please I need answers on how to proceed a new doctor since dr f, didn't seem to go down well with her.
Thanks everyone.

The problem is with the bills, for each delivery there are several bills i.e. Dr Fs package, Hospital bills ++ and baby bill (pediatric) Can you post copies of your bills/receipts on this forum so I can explain somethings to you? (please do not show your personal information if you decide to post the bills/receipts)

anfanio:
I have all that, dr f( doctor paid about 2430), st Luke chi (2800) pead (about about 400) epi (1500). But she didn't even go through and they're all itemised. She just saw the ist bill which was dr f and gave the expression of gotcha !

aye88:
my dear her reaction got me confused, I was now wondering whether it didn't say multiple entries again. All I got from her was racist vibes and I guess seeing dr f she probably felt hes offering cheap services to help populate their country with Nigerians. Cause I've searched and searched even asked my aunt who's a nurse over there if she's heard anything about him and she says no red flag everything is fine.
I still need answers about my questions, can anyone please advise. Thank you



What is wrong with the bill. The visa officers was already fuming and complaining about using visa for two babies even before she brought our her bill. The bill just gave her an evidential reason to deny. I think she just met a VO who wasn't ready to be objective in her decisions or reasons to grant or deny. How else do you explain getting a medical visa, using it for childbirth, getting pregnant again before the expiration of the visa and using it for same purpose. Don't we all get visa for vacation and we use it multiple times for vacation?. That's why it's a multiple entry visa valid for two years. Madam ,you did nothing wrong jare. The US embassy is just hot this period. They will call down soon

Anubaby:
Good evening,
I’ll like to know if it makes sense to travel at 36weeks and deliver at 37weeks?
Do pregnancies from IVF have to be delivered via CS?
Thank you.

Elo2020:
Good-day House

I went for visa interview 31st January & i was given a white sheet stating administrative processing & my hospital/dr correspondence plus bank statement were taken.
Also my passport was taken by the VO as well & she said i ll be contacted soon.
Please would like to know when i’m likely to get a reply/my passport back from the embassy, or should i send a mail to them.
Please Help!!!

Mumbuk731:


hello, this happened to me too, how much is your bill in total? as i think they verify with the hospital to be sure you did not vollect any mediaid.Dont worry just pray you will be given because my visa was approved after like three working days and all my bills returned.

lareal4ever:

Vo. But let me warn you, It takes about 20,000 Dollars to give birth in Texas if you get there and they offer you any form of discount i'll advice you decline because if you and pay less than the average amount of 20,000 Dollars someone will be here waiting for you in 2 years time when you want to renew your visa and you might be denied.
Me. Thanks Noted

This is a real issue now shopuld leave reasonable hospital charge for an expensive one.... Anyway just to share my experience for other people benefit.
All the best to all

Vlesparza:


Unfortunately, some patients asking to pay full price at Doctoresparati in El Paso, TX as well. Although the discounts offered are not linked to any kind of govt subsidy, it is sad that Nigerians are paying more than other patients since people from other countries pay the discounted price and have no issues. In any case, www.doctoresparati.com is sending the paperwork with the non-discounted prices and billing the full price upon request.

Beautyaddy:


So do US residents who use private health insurance get this same discounts offered to them

Vlesparza:


The discount is available to all self-paying patients regardless of where they reside (local or international) or those who have medical insurance who are unable to afford their high deductible and would rather pay cash. Neither Medicaid or any kind of govt subsidy is used to offset the patients' financial obligations.

Patients with private health insurance are billed differently since the insurance companies negotiate with hospitals what they will pay (they do not pay the amount that you see on the bill). The price they pay as well as what Medicaid is about the same price that is given as a discount (or even less). This has been posted before. The best weapon during your interview is to be informed. The Embassy knows this, you just have to have the correct answers when they are asking questions.

I heard Mexico has finally agreed to pay for the whole wall but only at the original boundary with the USA.

That means that for those of us who gave birth or are planning to give birth in Texas, our children are going to be Mexicans!
