Was your visa refused because you paid low amount or some other reasons?

My visa was refused because the amount was low. She actually told me i should have done more research to know that the bill was low when i asked why the embassy didnt point it out

Told her that was the going rate in Houston as I got several bills before deciding on WHMC.

She then said a decision had already been made.

You said it best, that is YOUR insurance. Not all insurances pay what you think you paid, and Medicaid, which is the benchmark that is used as to what not to bill under, pays even less than the self pay packages that hospital and doctors charge.

I understand how you must feel because you've faithfully been paying your insurance payments only to realize that you could have saved a lot of money just paying out of pocket. If you dont know now how insurance companies in the US "work", Im not surprised that you cant grasp this.

Ultimately you can keep your insurance, pay your premiums, and your deductible, and continue having your babies the way you are doing, this topic is really not for you since you are insured and has nothing to do with you.

Lol!...May be the offence is that most Nigerians are making this birthing in the US a do or die affair...even when they say they are not.

Canada that Nigerians are now running towards to out of more desperation because the US has become more stringent with their visa for birth tourism should also be asked the same question why they are denying Nigerians from birthing in their country.

You said earlier that she didn’t spend up to $7K...

When you add everything up is actually $9,643 which is approximately $10,000 which happens to be a reasonable sum to spend when giving birth compared to $3000+ others where paying...

Trust me if everybody was paying almost $10,000 then the Visa Officers wouldn’t have a problem...

Heck if I was a Visa Officer I would personally extra scrutinize any applicant paying only about $3,000 just to give birth...

That amount is really low for child birthing purposes even for Americans...

We don’t get it that cheap except when insurance companies are paying a bulk of the bill...

So why should Nigerians get it that cheap...

I’m all for giving birth in the United States but abuse of the system in place must equally be checked...

I might not like Donald J Trump as a person but his policies are beginning to make sense...

Birth Tourism should be ended...

The program has outlived its purpose & it’s now being abused by most people...

A Child should only acquire American Citizenship at birth if at least one Parent is a U.S. Permanent Resident OR a U.S. Citizen at the time of birth...

We’re a nation of laws & cannot allow aliens to continue to advantage of our weak immigration system...

A total over haul of the current United States Immigration system is desperately needed...

Congress needs to act to close the obvious loopholes in our immigration system currently been abused by other Countries namely China, India & Nigeria...

I agree , the VO’s need to calm down . How many Americans can folk out thousands of dollars for childbirth? These immigrants are helping the hospitals and in return the immigrants are getting citzneship for their children.

Truth be told this your story just made me a lil scared. Even though you explained that the fee was the going rate at the time. During my visa renewal(B1B2), the VO expressed that the fee was small(4k) and all but he gave us the visa. However he stated that if i want to travel to deliver i need to change my visa to Medical. Now my current visa is valid till December, i am scared that if i go for interview to change the visa they might not approve with all this there low fee palava. and if i decide to rough it and use my B1B2, further renewals in the future might be very difficult coz i am sure the VO wrote those comments in my file. I am just confused at this moment i tell you.

I have been a silent follower.

let me drop my transcript here.

I applied via drop box to renew my usa visa and I stated I was going for medicals. 221g letter was sent to me and I rescheduled for interview. Unfortunately a week to my interview I had pre term labour at 6 months and they could not keep the baby since he was not up to 7 months. I reschedule my interview due to health reasons after delivery.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

vo: I can see you wanted to stay for three months, why?
me: so I explained how i lost my baby at 6 months just before the interview, so i rescheduled.

vo: will you have a baby within the next two years?
me: yes of course.

vo: will use like to give birth in the us
me: yes, if doctors gives me the go ahead to travel, due to my history.

VO: What countries have you visited
me: Uk,France, Spain, Luxembourg, Netherlands ,Belgium, Uae, Gambia, Benin rep..etc

vo: okay, i will be giving you this visa,please pay all your bills and do not accept any discount. get your itemized bills and all the necessary receipts.
me: yes i will

me: I asked her if i needed to inform them when next I get pregnant, she said no, but i should declare it at the point of entry, and have enough funds to cover my treatment.

Thank you lord for this victory, and for doing something for me to wipe away my tears.

Congrats on the successful visa interview and thanks for sharing. By God's grace we will yet congratulate you again. Bless you

Ooohhh!!! cheesy...Some people are going to jump on your neck for this bitter truth statement.

If some Nigerians are going to fight back at this statement then why is there even a need to see hundreds of Nigerians desperately trying to have their babies in the US? And when they are denied US visa why are most Nigerians upset about it.

How many people from other countries do we see in desperation trying to give birth in Nigeria by fire by force?

I don't expect many to agree with me on this because its a touchy topic.

I'm not talking about your budget for transport, accommodation etc..i'm talking about actual delivery cost, the VO will not approve your visa if you told her that you will be paying little to nothing with discount, your visa was approved because you presented a budget fitting enough for child birth.


Your last paragraph is quite frankly insulting and playing race card on this is shameful.

Lets call a spade a spade most Nigerians are dishonest, fraudulent and crafty, we get so angry when called out.

This is not about white superiority, this is about what many Nigerians are known for, we struggle to get a visa to many embassies including South African which is an African country

Putting my citizens down is another name for honesty.

Just incase you care to read i did not generalise ..i said most

By the way thanks for making me laugh with your cleaner example

Let me add to your laughter: I was in the UK last summer. I took a taxi from airport to my hotel closer to the airport and the white dude charged me 15 pounds. I gave him 50 Pounds. As I was struggling with my bags, he handed over 15 pounds of small denominations and I never bothered to check as I felt he was a 'honest' man. While he was manovering his vehicle to turn, I just had the hunch to check. Lo! 20pounds was missing. Na so I raced catch him o. He said: I thought you gave me a tip. grin grin grin. You can see a very honest man. Dishonesty is a tendency in human.
