Okay first Dnt use agent again
Try call the hospital and ask if you have pending bill
I doubt if your total bill plus ped plus doc is $1050 plus complications u had
See how u can clear d old bill if there’s any before u reapply

I have been a silent reader of this thread and it has been extremely helpful in guiding me as i prepare for my baby’s birth in the US. I decided to share my interview with the VO:
VO: good afternoon, passport please. Why r u going to the US?
Me: afternoon. To have my baby. Hands over passport
VO: where else have you travelled to?
Me: UK, SA, dubai, Mauritius etc
VO: for holiday?
Me: Not only. School, work.
VO: ok. So where will you be staying in the US and do you have your doctor’s documents?
ME: will be staying with an uncle in Chicago. Hands over doctor’s correspondence and budget sheet over. I had a budget of about $12k for medicals.
VO: ok. Reviews docs. Looks at a list on her wall seems to be a list of procing for medicals across cities. So what do you do and how much do you earn per month.
Me: tells her.
VO: thank you. You have been approved for a visa and you can pick up in 3 days at VI. Also please beware of discounts when you go as this might affect your duture chances of renewing your visa.

I thank her, say i have seen that in some of my research and will do well to heed her warning.

She wishes me well with the baby and i leave. This was over in 5 minutes.

It seems this discount issue is a big deal. And intwreatingly, all the hospitals i have contacted have. Discount for self pay patients. The only one who didnt was quoting $50k.

Not sure what to do but will wait till 2 years time to worry.

Now waiting for my POE

Beautyaddy:
Huh, I think by having a Canadian PR must have worked in your favor to having your US visa approved.

Kuskus85:
Hello house, thank you so so much for this beautiful thread and those who keep it alive and informative.
So hubby and I are renewing via Dropbox. He finished his application and got to the part that says ‘start family application’ or ‘start new application’. He was to click on ‘ start family application to include mine yea? But somehow the internet was so poor that moment and he lost the page. Now we are finding it hard navigating back there, what do we do and we always apply together as a family.
Please I need help, maybe someone has had that experience before.

No one wants to help with a response?. Maybe he should abandon the first application and start another.

aye88:

Better worry now. Stay away from discount.

Mamaroon:
Change of Intent letter officially died.

The next basis that will be used in the future for denying visas will be that mamas indicated one doctor and hospital at interview (with budget sheet) that costs15k and then used another one for 7k and then presenting these receipts in 2 years time at visa renewal. I'm would even guess that some discount is fine (as it's a normal part of doing business) but they worry when it's significant (60%...75% etc)

Already it's clear they have a list they are looking at with estimated costs per state and most times approve on this basis.

Also in the past ladies could attend interviews back to back and maybe get successful in the 3rd or 4th try. ...from what I've heard now even attending an interview less than 6 months from your last refusal (however you got the date) is a red flag and automatic rejection because in theory you should not have been able to schedule an interview if the portal questions were answered correctly.

There will be no easing up on the visa front because we continue to make things difficult for each other and ourselves.

Sigh

OmoBendel24:


Is it not 214(b) wahala that the paper is about? Whether white paper oh, blue oh, pink oh, or any other color, it’s the content that matters, color makes no difference as that could just have been the available color of paper to use. Meanwhile, what was your Brother’s part during the interview, was he not asked questions or admonished too?
