You can use Google to make your read faster. For example you can Google "nairaland+give birth in usa+Houston poe" or "nairaland+give birth in usa+colorado+hospital" or whatever you want to search really. In my opinion, you get results faster that way and then you can ask for whatever you truly can't find [s]so you don't incur the wrath of hormonal preggos [/s] (who are otherwise very nice and helpful). Most people on here don't mind helping you but only after you have shown evidence of trying to help yourself cos really most of the questions asked have been answered previously.

Secondly, I used Dr. Fagbohun's (Oakbend, Houston) correspondence at my interview and at Dallas POE even though I was going to use a doctor and hospital in Dallas. The doctors I contacted in dallas don't commit to you or give you any sort of documented correspondence until they see you so a girl had to do what a girl had to do.

I'd say you have a right to change your mind as long as you pay all your bills and have your zero balance handy for next time.

I hope this helps.

Hey uptown17...
Seriously meehn. ..too many poeps have called you out and tossed u gauntlets. ...
Take the challenge pick it up by reading the parts. .that makes you and underdog veteran. . It's a win win for you.
You acquire more knowledge to solve your problem plus you start matching them up n make 'em eat their words by daring u to read. ..
Uptown! Uptown! ! Uptown! !!.... see me cheering you up here oooh. .....mk my cheering no go to waste. .lol
And to all enfamile sucklings. ...pick up your gauntlets aii..we need more veterans. ...
That's why the current ones keep getting too many pms than they can handle. ..

Peace y'all

LadyGuinivere:

Honey boo the only reason you are confused is because apparently u have not read the thread.
Sincerely, I believe the best sorta help one can offer is teaching another the know how. So many stories on top stories of people that changed hospitals are here.
Note: I say this with all love and sincerity, if u refuse to study this thread but depend on handouts u will NOT get the visa and you'l run into hitches and troubles later and join the 'pls help me, its urgent ' bandwagon.
Peace

Lemme b practical with you
Why go to a state where u wld spend more just because u have to stay with a family member? Consider transport + hospital bill

I don't get it at all o!
Let's say u go to a state and get like less than 6k or let's say 6k sef (without epi) and then u find accommodation where u pay 1k monthly for 3months (u get free ride to hospital weekly and grocery shopping)
U end up spending 9k for Hosp + accommodation +transport (at least before u put to bed).
So it's not bout getting free accommodation it's what it will cost you at the end.

It's not how close the hospital is, it's how affordable it is for you (weigh your pocket)
But we will b happy if you can get new hospitals and share d cost breakdown


stories about affordable hospitals in some states with affordable accommodation have been shared severally... Once again if u are reading you wld have read a lot of similar stories like yours

If u asked for one hospital that's fine, u keep coming with different questions, like u kept someone here to b constantly answering you.

Wait u think we r also so jobless to be answering all ur questions?
Abeg read up and avoid story for the gods

I dropped the pages but I changed my mind.
I'm not the only one on the thread so I'm just gonna ignore lets hope and pray someone replies. Good luck

Madam u said u r reading abi? Keep reading... All ur questions have answers plus breakdown on the cost.
it's not even fair that u keep asking and asking, like we read the thread for ur sake. Or u kept a secretary here
U keep asking questions becos u no wan read or read finish

FinanceFitness:
Let me answer the simple one - you don't need to have the same travel dates as your husband.

On the other one, seems complicated cause all the burden of proof you gather now will be useless eventually. The thing is that there's nothing wrong with changing your mind and maybe notifying the embassy if your destination changes and carry it along, just in case you need it at POE.

The challenge is that this is not a change of mind - since you know now. Isn't it possible that you get the new location now?

uptown17:
ok my darling mums. i appreciate you all. i will do just that. face US... squarely

LadyGuinivere:
@Upotwn. My friends (husband and wife) were refused UK this year this year. They applied to US like a month later. Husband had travel experience, wife just Dubai though they travelled together. They got the visa.
So arranzge yourself werr well. Read this space wella. Preparation and not sitting around in fear pays off

firsttymum:

People replied u already! U.S. Visa is not fill form today go to embassy tomorrow, u might have to wait almost 2months depends on the crowd applying at that time to get a date.. The visa rejection they ask about on the form is US VISA. Sometimes the VO won't ask about ur history... Browse through this thread and gather ur burden of proof and be prepared .. On a serious note go through this thread with ur jotter and pen and gather materials and read people's experiences... It would really help. It's not just account statements, it's hospital, Drs correspondence , accommodation, strong ties etc so u must read through
Don't forget to pray for Favour

firsttymum:



What's the real story? Cos ur story isn't consistent... In the UK visa page u said and I quote "
note: hubby never had a rejection any time and has been to few other countries. his will be a renewal"

Now u r saying he was denied?
In the UK visa page u talked about funds(how someone transferred 400k to ur hubby and he transferred same amount to another person) and that u preferred to use ur sisters account. And u also said u intend to apply end of August to the UK (and you'll be 24 or 25 weeks) lets add the duration of their visa processing and then let's add when you will b able to secure an appointment with d US embassy

What do u want? To birth in the UK or US ? You seem confused and not completely honest.
Like financefitness said HAVE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGED?

It obviously hasn't and note that you were denied visa based on finances..

You are even beginning to confuse me

Poshpearlie:
Hi everyone, I'm new here and have read some threads back. I'm applying for a UK tourist visa, I'm gainfully employed. I want to ask if the tax clearance card is part of what I need to submit. Thanks

olokings:
I won't advice that.
Ever heard of "visa shopping"?! Embassies frown at those. ... hmmmm...#thinking. .
I'd say liquidate the fixed deposit into account and if asked you will day you have been planning this vocation and childbirth trip a while now (make sure you back up this statement by dotting ur Is n crossing ur Ts).
Apply str8 to us embassy and do it quickly.
Going to late at your term negates your claim of planning ahead on time.

Do what you have to do and do it quick. .

Sincerely it makes more sense for your husband to sponsor you than your sister.

Apart from the transfer of 400k into your husbands account what else is the issue with his account. What is the purpose of the 400k and cant you get any document to support this transfer.

In my last 2 years application i had a cover letter explaining EVERY DEPOSIT in both accounts i submitted. I also had a 400k transfer into my account apart from other deposits and in the cover letter i explained it was a loan returned by my colleague. Two deposits were supported with documents and others were just explanation because my letter was in form of a table with columns for date, amount, details

olokings:
While you may be very right.
I think they can work their way around it with a gud back story as to why they wanna go to the states em all.

When I and my family went for interview, we just recently (like 2 months old) got the big rejection stamp from France embassy.
What we did was top build travel history by taking a 4 day vacation to dubai with layover in Ethiopia (yeah! Dt adds to travel history lol)..
As such we weren't asked why the rejection. ..just if we have b4 n I said yes. ..

Tnxie much

thanks for respondingooo
it was hubby that got wrong info from people. they advised him last year to give us his statement that had insufficent funds... on the assumption that eco will look at his salary inflow to know he earns well.. now we know better.

hubby has funds in his account (1.5M) + fixed deposit (2.2M)we plan to submit. and landed docs

at 21weeks. if i apply for uk end ugust, wait for response to come like sept 14. then start U.S. i must fly to usa b4 preg is 34weeks old

what do u suggest

iblaw:


For whatever reason he got a transfer of 400k please provide reason and if possible paper evidence as that alone can make you donate visa fee to BHC.

Selection for interview is done randomly at their own discretion so be prepared when you go submit your documents.

Hope your husband has a print out of his previous application form and documents so he wont commit any blunder reference his previous details.

Best of Luck
