She will need to fill another ds160 form and update it with the profile page while waiting for the embassy to open the appointment page portal (Since she has not exceeded the number of time she can change the appointment page) Hopefully it will be open as soon as possible so she can re-schedule for another date.

Thanks for your reply. she has filled a new ds-160 and the code as changed, but the profile is not showing anywhere to update ds-160 yet just personal info. i think it has to be after d 3 working days n d appointment portal hasn't opened yet

Hi everyone. Urgent pls! A friend is supposed to appear for B2(going for child birth) interview on Friday along with her mum but on getting there; the officials checking d names said the confirmation code on the Ds-160 didn't match with the appointment confirmation slip as she has appeared before so she wasn't allowed in for the interview but they persuaded her to leave the mum to appear without her and she was so confused. eventually she left her mum to go in for the interview( virgin passport and even she wasn't the main applicant) lo n behold she was granted the visa without her.
Now she was told to wait 3 working days and she should log back on her profile that she should pick any available date and then go on emergency travel and scan d GTB receipt, doctor's correspondence,letter from the doctor and upload so she can qualify for emergency travel date as her edd is in march . Has anyone experienced this? plus she has cancelled appointment once so am thinking she will need to pay visa fee again but not so sure .how many times do u get to re schedule appointment before u loose ur vusa fee? thanks n God bless.

1. While no one knows your chances. What is the purpose of applying with your mum? is it to improve your chances, if so, no need to do so. If you get the visa, it will be easy for her to get the visa too. But if you go along with her, it would be awkward for her to get the visa, and not you...
I think going with your mum, will just increase scrutiny.
2. When last did you apply? hope its more than 9 months?
3. You can just put "denied due to 241b." since you are not told the reason.

Hi.Thanks for ur reply...Am applying with mum as I will need her when the baby arrives n no is not up to 9months. i was just last november n d next available appointment is in feb which makes it just over 3 monhs ago

[quote author=jnrbona post=64004481]Good day house. So I have been a silent reader on here for a while and I did fill my DS 160 form and every other thing myself. I was scheduled for 8am today Lagos 8th Jan and my transcript went like this.

Vo: Good morning
Me: hi, Good morning
Vo: where exactly are you going to in the US?
Me: Houston, Texas
Vo: why are you going to the US?
Me: I'm on leave, so I'm going on a vacation, visit family members in Houston and Dallas,then attend a friends wedding. I intend visiting the Toyota center because I am a die hard (Houston rockets) fan so I plan on watching a game if possible.
Vo: Where do you work?
Me: I am a lawyer,but I work for the government (DPR)
Vo: when were you called to bar?
Me:2012
Vo: Describe your role/duties at work


Congrats

I arrived Houston on 28th December with my 2 children and mum via emirates. The queue was not too long because the CBP officers had more booths, unlike my experience in 2016. So we were directed to a booth with few people. B4 my turn, my baby fell and started crying, thereby causing unnecessary attraction. The older one too was pulling me that she wanted to use the toilet, but we culdnt go bac, just begged her to manage till we pass the CBP officer.

CBP officer was a black mid-age american, looks like Denzel Washington.

hands over 4 passports to him
CBP: How many of you?
Me: 4 of us, myself, 2 children and mum
CBP: What re u here for?
Me: To have my baby.
CBP: (was abit tense now and not smiling, not like he was even smiling b4) what do u mean by u re here to ve a baby?
Me: (now i knew i don enter ma) I applied for a medical visa and informed them at the embassy of my intention to have my baby here.
CBP: I didnot ask you what you told them at the embassy, i said why do you want to ve ur baby here?
Me: I had some medical issues with my 1st child and i didnt want a re-occurrence
CBP: What medical issue?
Me: Placenta previa (Note that i was not prepare for this, so was just saying wat readily came to mind)
CBP: what do u mean by that?
Me: Placenta lying low blabla (honestlym cant even remember if my explanation made sense)
CBP: And it cant be taking care of in ur country?
Me: I had option of coming to America for better medical care and i didnt want to take chances
CBP: Options? really?
Me: Yes
CBP: How much do u ve with u?
Me: 3000USD and about 6000USD in my bank account ( i think he wasnt really listening here, he faced his computer. Also, at some point he was trying to call someone, maybe they didnt pick his call. During the course of d interrogation also, he stood up facing me squarely.)
CBP: Scan ur 4 fingers, same for my mum.
He then said we should step aside.

He was on his computer for about 5 mins and he didnot attend to someone else. Later an officer came to chat him up and he left.

He then called me alone and resumed interrogation.
CBP: Do you have any evidence of your last payment?
Me: brought it out and gave to him.
CBP: How come the letter is dated Janaury and u delivered in November?
Me: I paid immediately after birth but i guess the internal workings of the hosp delayed the bills.
CBP: You only paid $2500 (he was reading the 1st page alone, dat letter issued by oakbend to the embassy- zero balance)
Me: No, i paid much more, thats just wat i paid to the hosp. You can flip thru to see the other payments made to other service providers.
CBP: How much:
Me: About $7000
CBP: (flipped thru and saw the lengthy account statement from oakbend dat shows several deductions and brings everything back to $2500) How come this sums were deducted and u paid $2500?
Me: I had a contract with the hosp, for cash paying patient. I was to pay $2500 for all.
CBP: (Went thru baby's American passport) How come i got baby's passport soo soon?
Me: It was based on the time i got the birth certificate at the county office.
CBP: I need to call my supervisor (he started typing again)

after 2 mins or so, he started stamping the passports.
CBP: Who stays in this address? (referring to the address on my landing card)
Me: An apartment i am leasing for our stay here.
CBP: Do u have an apartment number?
Me: Told him and he wrote it on the landing card.
CBP: Hands over our passports and said we can go but will keep the evidence of payments
Me: Okay

Thats how we carried ourselves quickly and left him o.
