My thoughts exactly. Could it be that she applied via a drop box but the VO later served her a 221g for a follow up visa interview? Some applicants wouid seek help but only provide us with half baked information. The delay in her application, given her travel history raises some concerns, TBH. Whatever it is. I wish her good luck.


Nobody is a VO here. We all learn from the experiences of others.

There is nothing half baked about what I wrote because there is no need to, I already wrote i wasnt qualified for a dropbox, so dont assume im lying, i didnt applied through Dropbox or given a 221g, this was an interview I booked myself a year ago even before I got pregnant for normal visit before I changed it to childbirth after all I was showing , thanks

Most likely, the US visa officer must have seen you had already applied for a Canada visa was why you were asked twice on whether you have tried somewhere else, but please, never blame yourself on the outcome because you thought you weren't thinking straight. Pregnancy hormone could have its impact. Rather, cast all to God and ask for favor at the point of your Canada visa application review.

Please permit me to say this in my own opinion with your little narration... based on the 28M POF(naira devaluation impact) and birthing plans, ''if" you are going with your other children(despite their US citizenship) and husband, please, I would suggest you drop your two children and withdraw their application to make the POF a bit sustainable during review. Cost of flights for you and your husband isn't less than 5M aside all other cost( whether you were invited or you would all be lodging), much more birthing bills and expenses.

The VO might overlook birthing in Canada having seen that your children are US citizens and you all still reside in Nigeria(where some would have used the opportunity not to return), but the POF would have a role. The choice is still yours, though.

I wish you a successful approval

Shalom

Thank you, in our application we stated we weren't traveling with our kids, just my husband and I

orjohn24:


Firstly, if you had your previous two children in the USA on a B1/B2 visa, why would you need an interview again to secure a new visa instead of using the dropbox option? Moreover, your previous USA visa should surely enhance your chances of obtaining a Canadian visa. The Canadian visa officer will compare the date you applied with the date your USA visa was refused. Some officers might still send you a procedural fairness letter to explain this, noting that you have not violated any regulations. Indeed, some people are refused entry to the USA and still obtain a Canadian visa. Therefore, your USA visa refusal under Section 214(b) is not a ban; it simply means you were refused without having committed any crime. So, just relax, pray, and hope you get the Canadian visa approved.

My last visa expired in 2018 , so I didn't meet the 2/5 years Dropbox waiver requirement at the time of booking the interview

About two to five pages away, a lady shared her second approval timeline here.

She said she was given just a six month visa on her first application and she gave birth in Canada within that period. What I don't know is if she declared she was going to give birth or her approval came before pregnancy or how she even went about it.

Please, check the last 5 pages to read the post on the accuracy of this issue.

Another concern is POF😒. If the VO is now aware of your pregnancy through the info gotten from US database, would the POF be enough to get you through birth and post birth expenses and bills? THIS IS SO VITAL....

Thank you, our proof of funds was 28 million Naira when we applied . Also my usa visa was denied on the ground that there is a US law that now prohibits pregnant women from going to give birth for the sole purpose of citizenship, I told d vo that there is an exception to the rule if I had a medical condition and I can afford it, she asked for the doctor's report and after going through it she said she wanted more like the doctor should have referred me to a doctor in the usa, told her I had a doctor in the usa who has ac epted me but not referred by my doctor in Nigeria, moreover our government also prohibits doctors to refer patients abroad, she explained the law further to my husband n I and why her hands were tied, she asked if I tried somewhere else, I said no because I had given birth to my 2 kids in the usa previously so it was natural for me to gravitate towards d usa, at some point she asked me again and I gave the same answer, thinking about it after I left, she might have been asking about my Canada application but at the time of the interview I wasn't thinking straight moreover at the time of my application my plans where solely to visit canada and not to go have a baby which wasn't declared in my application , maybe I should have said Canada I don't know

Ashirioluwa:


Madam, stop being worried. The US and Canada don't share this type of information.

Both countries share information relating to applicants' identities and determine which applicants are potential security threats early in the application process before they enter either country.

Also, they share information as to whether an applicant has previously been refused a visa or removed from either Canada or the US.

@superwoman1101

Thank you very much , fingers crossed

Good day everyone, I submitted my Canada visit visa in October with my husband which I havnt gotten a response. I applied for a normal visit visa before I found out I was even pregnant and before then I had a USA visa interview appointment which I booked over a year ago even before I dreamt of getting pregnant. This week was the interview, obviously pregnant and I declared I wanted to have my baby in the USA which I was refused. My question is please will this in anyway affect the outcome of my Canadian application considering that they share information, that is if the Canadian go reads the note that I am pregnant, thank you as you reply
