Hello all. Been a while. Used to post here prior to the attack. Had my baby at MIHS in June but was unable to post my birth experience also because of the attack. I have read most of the posts subsequent to the attack, although I now read for pleasure . I just feel the need to add my 2 cents to the two ladies whose applications were denied.

I would suggest that you re-assess your applications as has been suggested to note any inconsistencies that may be there. Also review the interview and the confidence you exuded. If you do so sincerely and do not find any faults, then don't be discouraged. The American embassy leaves the final decision on an application to the discretion of the VO which means that their personality may come to play in decisions made on an application. For some VOs, your travel history and employment is all that matters while for some others it a lot more than that. Some are more thorough than others and if we must be honest, some are more sadistic or racist than others. In view of this, it clear that it takes more than preparation but rather the grace of God to be successful.

I would advise that you reapply and don't let the emotions you felt at the denial, or the fear of appearing desperate deter you. It costs you nothing beyond the visa fees to reapply and the worst that could happen is another denial. However, for as long as there is a remote chance of success, then I would say you should give it a go. To be sincere, if I were in your shoes, I will continue to reapply for as long as is practicable in view of my due date if necessary. My motivation will be what I hope to achieve.

All in all, I will say don't give up. Wishing you success at your next attempt.
