Hello FabioRomani,

It is perfectly legal to have your child in the U.S., but you must declare your purpose of travel and how long you intend to stay. When you arrive in the U.S., you must prove to the officers at the border that you have the means to pay for the medical expenses. You do not have to travel as indicated on the DS-160 form, but keep in mind that you may be asked about that.

Regards,

Abuja NIV

Dear VO,

My wife and I were issued a b1/b2 visa in May and the travel date we filled on the ds160 form is August 2, however my wife just discovered that she is 3 weeks pregnant (please note that she wasn't pregnant as at the time of interview because we were asked if she was pregnant).

My wife and I have decided to have our baby in the U.S, and my questions are as follows:

1. Please is it wrong? Given that she wasn't pregnant during the interview
2. Is it wrong if we don't travel on the exact date we specified on the ds160 form?

Cheers.

Hello ujan,

You should explain your situation at the interview. Your wife is an immediate relative, but if she's not residing in the United States then you could answer no to that question in your application.

Hello dortex4real,

We cannot comment on specific cases. In general, applicants need to demonstrate strong ties that would compel them to return to their home country after their trip.

Hello humantoy,

If your sister is a U.S. citizen attempting to adopt a child from another country, this would be an immigrant visa. Please contact lagosiv @ state.gov to inquire about the immigrant visa process.

Hi, I am currently completing my DS160 application form and would require some clarification on completing the travel companions section.

My wife intends having our next baby in the US and they (her and my daughter) will be leaving by September while i intend joining them in December and we (self, wife, daughter and new baby) will all be returning together to Nigeria.However, we are all just applying for visa and will be attending the visa interview as a family.

Am I expected to select "YES" for the question "are there others travelling with you"

Secondly if I select "YES" am I supposed to included the details of the unborn baby on the list of those travelling with me, even though he does not have GIVEN NAMES yet

Thank You

Good day VO. Pls I need clarification on this.WHile on vacation in the us in 2015,I had acute sore throat that warranted me visiting the clinic in order for me to get a doctor's report to purchase augmentin.we were billed 650usd. The bill was sent to my husband's mail a month later and he has settled it in two installments since then.Now I want to apply for visa renewal will it affect my chances?SHould I tell my husband to scan the payment receipt to me perhaps am called in to attend an interview.

You are traveling with your family, so answer 'yes' and explain your travel plans at the interview. You do not need to list an unborn child as a travel companion.

I didn't expect such a question from a Major in the Army.
