Please has anyone opened a Bank of America account recently Or any other account in the States Dem dey ask for proof of PR before dem go open one. Pls who has any info on this?? Thanks

Go to another branch. I opened a Bank of America account about two weeks ago, both personal and company account. The first branch I went to told me they couldn't open my company account without SSN or ITIN. After chatting with their customer rep online (she assured me that I could open accounts, and I only needed ID cards for my personal account and incorporation docs for my company) I went to another branch and had no problem opening the accounts.

2nd missionary journey finally over.

Mum Visa

I asked for opinion wen I applied for my mum visa, she was actually denied without them checking anything,so what i did was to write the consular on her behalf nd I also sent a mail to the consular that I have a toddler nd expecting a baby and I need my mum assistance. I also booked emergency appointment, I attached d receipt for Doctor and hospital, so the appointment was approved and her visa was granted with her saying d same thing as previous interview and they did not check anything.

I know it's been a while since you posted this. My DH was just refused a visa and I'm due in four weeks. So I need all the support I can get. How did you go about writing the consular? Did she have to fill another DS-160? I'm confused. Please if you don't mind enlightening me a bit, I'll be very grateful.

3 days or 3 weeks later?

I don't think it should be a problem. Last last if she already has a ticket you can hold it to show them she is joining later, closer to the delivery date.

I meant weeks. Lol. Thanks.

Hi all. Happy New Year. May this year be even better than anything we've seen before.

Please, I need a little clarification. I applied for a medical visa with my mum as traveling companion. We got the visas, thank God. The thing is, I have to travel at 35 weeks and I want to go alone, then she and my husband can join me a week or so to my delivery date. (She has a business and even she isn't eager to abandon her work plus her husband for a whole two months abroad.)

My question is, shey I won't have any issues at the Houston POE? Will they ask about the traveling companion, will it be an issue that she's joining me three days weeks later?

Please help.

when you apply again and go back for the interview the VO may ask how far along you are and calculate that at the time of your last interview you were indeed pregnant. If you lie about how many months or he/she doesn't ask you will still face it at your poe. The truth is no VO will believe your story whether it's the truth or not. You should read through the thread to get an idea of how VO's think and the questions they ask.

2. There is nothing wrong with being self-employed. an income is an income is an income. as long as your finances (or whoever is the sponsor) are healthy enough to support this journey with sufficient left over afterwards.

Thanks.

Madam you were pregnant and wanted to apply for tourist visa knowing fully well you want to use it for birthing purpose. You were not given the visa, now you want to come out clean and apply for medical. These people ain't fools. Just know that your previous record for tourism will be staring the VO in the face. Maybe if you had started medical and done your assignments well the issue of ties to your home country won't surface.

Anyway I wish you luck in your next application. And be ready to defend the question of your previous application when it comes up.

You're wrong. Me and my husband had reason to be in NY this November. We'd been planning to go even before I became pregnant. We only planned to stay for two weeks. You don't have to be so judgemental. In any case, the guy isn't a magician. How would he have known that I was pregnant? I'm not even showing.

If anybody has any actual advice for me concerning this issue, I'll be very grateful.

Another thing, I'm an Architect, but I resigned my job last year. So I don't currently have paid employment, but I'm a writer, and I earn money from my books. I'm wondering if me being self-employed might have had any impact on our rejection.

Hello everyone,

I've been following this topic for a while now and I need advice.

me and hubs were just rejected for a tourist visa earlier this week. We planned to go for two weeks this November, but the guy said that we don;t have enough ties, blah blah, etc etc.

Anyway, I'm close to five months pregnant, though I'm not really showing yet. I planned to go back early next year then have my baby there. Now, I want to apply again. I'm wondering if it's best to apply for the medical visa, just me, without hubby, then him and my mom can apply for seperate visas since they'll be joining me a week before my due date.

Or should me and my mom apply together.

I don't know how to prepare the budget and all that yet, but I plan to search the topic for that. I have about $8,000k in my Dom account, it will be more before my interview date. I guess that will be enough?

Please help.

Me , id really love to lighten my lips, can anyone help. I dont smoke and coffee intake is minimal, just want them to be a little pinker.
