Hello everyone, has anyone gotten any update yet (approvals or denials) Please share. Let’s give ourselves hope. The silence is scary!

Hello everyone, I applied for TRV with my husband as the principal applicant. After 90days of applying, he received a mail to submit his passport but we are yet to get any information about my application. Has anyone experienced this? I just want to know what to expect and how long it may take for be to get a response. We plan to travel in March.

Hello everyone, please I will like your suggestions. I submitted my application sometimes last month to have my interview this week. While filling my application I applied for the B2 visa (childbirth)... I tried getting a doctor in the US to write a letter on my behalf but couldn’t get one after the B1/B2 restriction for childbirth. Do you think I should go ahead with the interview? Also, is there anyone that has a similar story like mine and went ahead with the interview?

My interview is next month... Please, is it possible to change my purpose of traveling before the interview date?

Thank you for sharing. Please I’m trying to send you a mail. I have few questions to ask about your itemized bill. I will be glad if you can reply me. I’m also looking at going to renew my America visa. Thank you.






[quote author=Mamajam post=85768646]Hello, it's a slightly long read. Please bear with me.

So I have been following this thread for about 9 weeks...right after I got the mail about the RHA letter.

Brief intro...I submitted my online application 13th September, did my biometrics 16th September, got the RHA Letter mail 11th November, made the required payments and sent my receipts and the letter 26th November. Till date, I'm yet to get a response. I have sent emails and filled the webform but nothing yet from the VOs.

On Tuesday 7th January, hubby and I were discussing other options, we were really considering Barbados because it's Visa free for Nigerians and I don't have time to waste waiting for a Visa (I'm starting my 35th week today).

Eventually, we decided on me renewing my American Visa. I have been quite averse to renewing my American Visa due to all the negative news one has been hearing about Visa denials due previous birth(s) in America. Also, hubby tried renewing his American Visa sometimes in November but he was denied after he presented my itemized bill. The VO was however kind enough to mention to him that what we paid was quite low for vaginal birth ($6.5k for OBGYN, Hospital and Epidural).

Hubby decided that we would pay back the discount the hospital gave us. I disagreed initially due to all the stories I had heard. I had concluded that once you have had baby in America, irrespective of the amount paid, kiss your Visa renewal bye until further notice. Eventually I agreed for him to pay the discount (still had no intention of renewing my American Visa as I believed I would get a positive response from the Canadian Visa request)

Cut the long story short, I applied for the B2 American Visa on Tuesday 7th January, got an interview date for today and my Visa request was granted.

The only document the VO asked to see was my itemized bill from my 1st delivery. Total payment made was about $14.5k after paying back the discount. After perusing my itemized bill and other receipts, he said I should go to pay the N40.7k reciprocity fee......and when I turned to leave, he said I should ensure I also pay my bill in full again.

It's worthy to note that asides from my itemized bill, I had my Dr. correspondence (using the same OBGYN I previously used so it was easy for her to send me a letter within 24 hours of contacting her) and I also had other supporting documents that could have been requested for.

Finally, for anyone on this thread who's interested in Birth tourism, I would highly recommend that you apply for an American Visa whilst waiting for a feedback on the Canadian request. Just have all the necessary documents when you go for your interview and pray for God's favour. I have been praying for favour and confessing positively since I submitted my application on Tuesday night. I believe God would grant us all our heart's desires.

Cheers

Please check your email!

Send me a mail

Thank you!

Hotstepper:
It is because generally they do not want to be involved in any apllication thus why they will rather attend to you wen u r in the country.

Also, when you do find one that will book an appt, do not except a written correspondence as it will not happen so you will now have to figure out how to include the information your application and hope for the best

Please how can I get these emails... The ones I have mailed. I never get a reply.

Lankesolanke:
Well,I was able to send email to over Ten hospitals,three replied me tho with high bills but at least I am getting there,others don’t offer childbirth services in their hospitals .
All we need is time and patience to research this things..still going until I am able to find what’s best for me..I am hopeful

Please which hospital is this.... can you share their email address with me so I can contact them.

Lankesolanke:
Pls can anyone explain what the resident or no resident means pls..thank you

Hello everyone, please I need help... I have been contacting different hospitals and doctors just to get correspondence and book an appointment with the doctor. The doctors office wouldn’t book me for an appointment. They are all insisting I have to be in the country. Hospitals wouldn’t allow payment or give me an account number so I can make payment until I bring a pre registration form given by the doctor. Please guys I need advice on how to move on. I need something to add to my visa application... Looking at hospitals in Ontario generally. Please I need suggestions on hospitals and doctors that can readily book me for an appointment.
