Hello everyone,

I really need your help; I have a B1/B2 valid visa which I have use before; am due to travel in February and I sent an email to the embassy informing them that I would be traveling to have my baby and I got the below response from them less than an hour ago. Please I need advise on how to book a second appointment and what to expect. Thanks

“Thank you for your inquiry.



Really!!!!! This is scary o. Godspeed sis

Our records indicate that you applied for a different purpose of travel during your recent interview and/or DS-160 form submission. As your purpose of travel has now changed significantly to include medical treatment in the United States, you will need to return to the Consulate for a second interview. Please note that your visa is not valid for travel at this time.

For your second interview, you should bring all available information related to your planned medical treatment including correspondence with your doctor, the estimated cost of the procedure(s), any receipts showing prepayment for care, and evidence that you have the ability to pay for all costs while in the United States up to and including living expenses for yourself and any dependents. If the purpose of your travel is childbirth, you should also include a detailed birth plan.

If you have received any kind of medical treatment in the United States on previous visits, you will also need to bring evidence of payment of all fees and charges incurred to the interview. You should note any discounts or price adjustments received and indicate the source of these adjustments if known.



Regards,

Lagos Consular Section Chief

My poe story, Atlanta
I used Delta airlines onthe 15th of December,Lagos to Atlanta. We got into Atlanta around 5.15am and had to wait about 15 minutes for the cbp officials to resume.

Since it was a direct flight from Nigeria,i went to pee first so that some people would go first. When i came out the line had diversified with people from all over. I watched two Nigerians get called for secondary, chai i started calling on God to have mercy. Then it was my turn.
Cbp: goodmorning. I replied him
what are you here for?
Me: Vacation, then I gave a little pause and added and chidbirth. He then asked how long I intend to stay, i said 3and half months.He said why that long? I said I wanted to come while i was still fit to fly.
He looked at me and said why here? I said i had medical issues with this pregnancy thats why i came and also the citizenship it offers my baby.
It was a black cbp official.
cbp official: Have you made any payments to the hospital?
Me:No,will make some deposit when i get in and my husband is coming 2 weeks before my due date.
cbp :when are you due?
Me: told him
cbp: How much do you have with you?
Me: 4k dollars
cbp:Final destination?
Me: Chicago.
cbp: enjoy your stay and stamped me in for six months. It can only be God.
Picked my luggage and made my way to my connecting flight. No bag search,no request for documents. It was my second time in the US and my visa expires in January.
Thanks to people who posted their experiences.
