Why do you think this rule was issued? For to stop ANY pregnant woman, ANY who travels to give a birth on American soil.
Watch from today ANY woman to travel for birth purpose if she has NO confirmation there is no medical care for to have a child in her own country. ANY airline can stop her and the POE Officer can stop her. And the POE Officer even doesn't need to explain to her anything, they stop and send back ANY foreigner with NO explanation, they have the power to do so and you can't sue them.

The rule does not apply to the D.H.S. So unless she’s misrepresented on her visa or cannot afford the costs, why should they send her back?

Because they can and the new rule reminds them they should.

Please house, has anyone used memorial hermann hospital in sugarland

I read on Google its a non profit hospital. I dont want the embassy to use it to deniel me visa

Memorial hermann is an excellent hospital.

UhnNah:


Still,there’s attention on the situation right now! Posting about how you will deceive the VO’s and CBP officers on the internet might make things worse...e.g,Pregnancy test at POE!

Calm yourself down. It's not a hidden forum.

if you have a visit Visa now (6 month is the usual validity) by next year, do you think it's still active

@the bolded is partly why I said what I said to you. That's not correct please. Calm down!

Hello Everyone , Been so quiet lately as regards renewing visa but here is a bit of my story .

My husband applied for a J1 visa because he was chosen for the Obama Scholar Foundation program . (Note) He is well travelled and have been to US uncountable times and have never stayed for 1month , he couldn’t even come to childbirth.

The first visa application was denied - Because the VO claimed he took a discount durning our childbirth in the US . He tried explaining to the VO that we paid cash and we were generally given a discount for self pay but he was denied .

We contacted the hospital - OAKBEND HOSPITAL ... They said we can’t get any other letter except the zero balance letter we have been given before bla bla bla ...

The second time , the VO didn’t give him enough time for explanation. DENIED. But advise him to get an Immigration lawyer to sort out the issue.

Fast forward, we got an immigration lawyer in the US and paid 2000usd , he was able to iron out lot of things legally and we were told to contact the hospital to ask for the full bill before discount .

My husband contacted OAKBEND and they claim they can’t take any money etc , He reported OAKBEND hospital to TEXAS HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION . Lol and behold , OAKBEND sent us a mail that we need to pay 10,000usd to complete with what was paid before in order to get a new itemized bill without discount .

We paid this money and got the new itemized bill and a letter from Oakbend . My husband went for the THIRD visa application and the VO denied him again without any reason.

He wrote a mail to the US consular general and US Ambassador in Nigeria . He sent lot of Letters through DHL .

The consular general contacted him to go for his interview and he was given VISA (J1)

Back to my story - I applied to renew my visa tht expires August 2019 ... In a view to visit my husband who has been away since September for Xmas but was DENIED . The VO didn’t give me enough time to show all my document .

I booked another - The VO asked if I have new document but told him the previous VO didn’t have enough time to check my document to see I paid my bills in full . He said I will go thro the administrative process ... Alias , I got my passport back Jan and denied again.

Now , with the new development with the US government, I see the reason for the denial .
We already wrote a letter to the new Consular general but I am done applying for US visa .

PPR in progress .......

Sorry for my long story .

This exactly what l told my brother then the family had similar situation . They got the visa for child birth present same document to apply for visa showing tbe cost breakdown at the interview it was all ok and the visa issued . The family travel pay tbe cost and back to nigeria,3 years later about to renew visa and got refuse for discount story begin...he contact the hospital and was told he paid his bill then since it was cash but if he wanted he can donate minimum 10000 usd or more to the hospital..i was opposed to this ideal because l know even paying that cannot gurantee visa and make no semse to me if the visa was issued by same embassy and suddently 3 years later it wrong ,it better you donate the Money to a charity in nigeria to fund a program if u have that money to dash ..we argue on it but my brother accepted my advice and instead they begin processing canada ppr ...the wife delivery the baby in nigeria and she refuse to communicate to me and begin to show disrespect that i was the cause of her second child not getting usa ctizenship because l advice my brother not to pay the momey because he was funding me then and we are stepbrothers .l just take it cool ,anytime l visit their house in ikoyi she will instruct the gateman not to open the gate for me that nobody at home ,i respect my brother and never want my issue cause a stain in their relationship so l limit my visit ....while in the pool ,i got canada pr and l left nigeria this also boost their point and they came in 7 month after me .now they are canadian permanent resident my brother was lucky got a better job with a good pay cheque and the wife now studying nursing degree and they apply for same usa visa in canada and
All got 10 years validity,the officer only ask what happen then on their refuse they show all receipt and explain all in details ..and in 2 years they will all qualified for canada citizenship..the discount story is just a coverup to refuse visa and limit child birth especially from nigeria..now we see the new rule...l thank God my brother wife is my very good friend now.she apologise for the past and we all move on.last time we discuss she said even the usa citizenship for her first son may be an issue later in future as per tax laws as the boy may have to file tax return in usa and canada as an adult she read that information somewhere .funny woman

I actually said it here that the discount was not an issue . It is not from govt funds, it was just an excuse to deny Visa. Others outside Nigeria are renewing their Visa.

I am looking forward to reading of anyone who has been previously given a B2 Visa for birth purposes prior to this announcement's POE experience.

Attached image from the Department of State sums it up and clarifies... mums need to convince a VO that childbirth is NOT their primary reason for travel to the US.

Hello everyone,

Now that the birth tourism has been "cancelled". I know the onus now lie on whoever wants to get a tourist visa to proof so, but do you think the issue of discount might still come into play? Should anybody be making a payment plan to pay off the discount?
