Hi, FTM here, have you found anything yet?

Hi Second time mums planning to use Henrico Hospital Virginia in April May looking for accommodation. Please let's start the process

Hi @Chibertha thank you so much for taking out time to answer these many questions! <3 I will follow your advise and update as things unfold.

I have tried to give you answers note most are from the USA Visa website and first hand information

Hello house and thank you for all the detailed accounts given, its taken days to go through all the threads but the time spent doing so was worth it!

On to my peculiar situation: Currently a FTM planning to birth in the US and still have a valid B1/B2 visa that was issued while I was working outside Nigeria. I am back in Nigeria now by the way.
LO is due early may but visa expires end of may. Can any one advise on the best option for visa application, if to apply with DH (his first time, I have been to the US before) and if to buy a return ticket beyond visa validity?

So please pardon me and my many questions
1.To have LO, do I...:
a. Apply for dropbox - same B1/B2 - and declare medical tourism reason at POE? (risking this Trump immigration change atmosphere influencing a possible denial)
b. Apply for B2 and pray all goes well at interview
c. Go to US on current visa and declare at POE that it's for birthing reasons - not sure if they will stamp me in beyond the visa validity - then apply for an extension while still in the US
d. Please advise!

2. When would be a good time to apply since I still have more than 6 months left on the current visa? The next interview date is in March and I am not sure if it will be dropbox or interview so trying to play safe.

3. Do I mention that DH will be accompanying me or not? He actually will not come until much later.

4. Is it possible to apply for a visa renewal from within the US?

Any first hand experience with this type of situation would be a huge help.

Thank you my fellow nairalanders!
