@uchetobi. I was told outrightly of the ban

My visa was cancelled with a 5 year ban.

So, i have been hesistant posting my bad experience, but who knows where help can come from.
So it goes thus:
During my visa renewal interview(been to the US before)i denied being pregnant.
(Hadnt come across this thread then)
Fast forward to months later, very slim me with a huge bump at 32 weeks decides to birth in houston.
The cbp officer asks why am here, i say birthing n vac. He said why did i deny being pregnant and sends me in for secondary questioning.
I spent 24 hours there, wasnt allowed to contact my family in the us or 9ja. Paying my docs fee in full didnt help.
I was jst sent back, my visa cancelled and no chance to withdraw my application by myself. They called it misrepresentation of a matrrial fact.
So i kuku come back to port harcourt, had my adorable son and weve been fine.
So thats my story. And all this was in 2013
Anyone with ideas on how i am suppose to right this wrong?
@popri, @firsttymum, @ all the gurus here.....
Show me that posting my story here wasnt in vain.
Thanks. .

@olokings. @shawler....the great shooters, congrats on your new borns.

Tobbermum.
So sorry about your ordeal.
You need your space and you need it urgently.
Between now and next week, i think you should leave very early and return very late. Let them not see you again before they would build high bp for you.
It is well dear

Tobermom:
Thanks dear

Hello mamaxxx. I read your post about being sent back at POE. I suffered the same fate in 2013. Did u finally get a second visa.

mamaxxx:
don't you make female clothing? don't you make female clothing?

I also had my visa cancelled once. I didnt apply again cos i was close to my EDD. So did u finally apply, were u successful?

mamaxxx:
Quick question; My visa was canceled at the POE in the united states. i intend on applying for another visa immediately as i am going for the purpose of childbirth and time is not on my side. Anyadvice?

Ps. My visa was canceled for reason of insufficient funds

Popri:
Hi everyone,
Congrats to all the new mamas, successful POE stories and visa interview stories, both posted and concealed
Just to emphasize to us that after all is said and done, pray, pray, pray!
A friend just told me of how someone was sent from JFK yesterday, didn't get the whole details but she had 12k USD, she declared all, she had all her documents, declared her preg, they counted her money and called the hospital, dunno what the person in the hospital admin said about cost and that was it..
She was sent back

May God not allow this happen to anyone of us o..

Hello popri,
I sent u a PM pls reply

hi house
good to know everyone is doing great.
i traveled to Houston on the 5t of October ad wast let in.
Even after showing my payments to west Houston and declaring how much i had.
Their reason was that i lied i was not pregnant during my visa interview.
had the most horrifying experience ever.
i am back in Nigeria now, thank God i and baby are safe.
apart fro me, two other 9ja ladies were set back too.

learning point: state preg stats when applying for visa, if u already have a visa then by all means avoid Houston. there are devils there searching out for black preg women.
wishing everyone goodluck wit their plans

@fabulous mum. Thanks for your detailed info. i had to carry pen and paper whilst reading your post. Lool.

You said you applied for a nigerian passport from Washington. So does that mean you had to travel from el paso to Washington just for the passport.

@surety, please can you give me this ladies contact. I am making plans for houston too.

surety: @uche tobi,its a homebirth which I prefer too,she'l be coming to the house from 36 wks til delivery for prenatal visits,saves me stress and transportation.


@bolanleife,are u pregnant and planning on using her?

@Nikkigal.
Thanks for all the info.
But are these prices recent, if yes can i please have who you to call.
Cos i contacted same west houston medical center last week and was told the cost of using they hospitals facility is $2500 flat rate.
Please, help me clarify cos if there's a way i can reduce it to $2200 wld be more than pleased.
Thanks again.
