Hi everyone. I have been a silent follower here for few weeks now. Myself and DW got our visas approved mid-October for a vacation in the US later this month, but we discovered DW was few weeks pregnant by mid-November and will be due by late July 2017. So we are planning she give birth in the US. Although We'll be back from vacation in January but my question is, can she send a "letter of change of intent" to the US embassy by the time she wants to go for childbirth?. Thanks.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by KaptainAfrika: 8:00pm On Dec 11, 2016
Where you asked any of the following questions...
1. Do you intend to use this visa for any other purpose apart from vacation?
2. Will be taking any medical treatment in the US?
3. Is your wife pregnant?
4. Did you mention that your wife was pregnant.

Go for your vacation first, I just hope CBP don't ask if your wife is preggy, that will complicate things.
If you are successful in gaining entry into the US for vacation (you and your wife), when you get back to Naija, notify them of intent to use your visa for childbirth on the next trip.

justwise:


Nigerian law forbids those with dual citizenship from applying for job like DSS or NNIA, so i'm out of it.

But you can be Minister of defense but not a DSS operative? I would think the minister had a higher level of security clearance . Sen Obanikoro has dual citizenship and was a Minister of defense in Nigeria.

Thats correct. I always tell people that what works for one might not work for another. These VO's are different people with different ideas,thinking and understanding. One VO might deny your application while another VO will give you a visa when u reapply. People shouldn't be afraid to reapply,because those VO's see things differently,just do your homework well and all will be fine. Goodluck to everyone!!

Trump was elected Nov 8 and her interview was same day.

1. The results might not have been out at that time.
2. Even if the results were out, it was too early for people to start to show their bias.

This platform is a life saver,I must confess!
Kudos to the Pros n gurus here!
I am one of those in ghost mode and I have read through the threads to a large extent.

I also got the b1/b2 visa early in the year with wify and daughter with intention of wify to give birth in US but the vacation was what we told the VO. It is wrong! And I have learnt a lot here.

Wify is now one month pregnant and based on advice here, she and my daughter will be going to NY with Arik for 10 days vac.probably next month.

Then when she comes back we can send letter of intent later and other processes.
My concern:
1. Texas was where we told the Vo during interview for vacation, hence is there anything wrong changing it to Ny?
2. At the POE we have agreed that if questions like are you pregnant? Answer: yes, but purpose for this trip is for vacation. is the answer proper?

I will appreciate suggestions and will like to know if there is anyone in this similar situation with the intention of going to US and coming back, then plan for 2nd trip to give birth.

I am a leaner and I am willing to learn the soft way and not the hard way! Thanks

Vo: why are u here?
Dw: for child birth
Vo: could u pls place ur finger here
Vo: (stamped passport till June 2017)

DW: yes I have contacted hospital/Dr but payment yet as they requested cash on arrival.
Vo: how much do u have on you.
Dw: 8k plus (small change dey on top)

Nice one and goodly Favour, This is the kind of POE experience i pray for with DW when we leave in January hopefully.

Just a few question? 1. what hospital is your DW using and which Doctor?
2. 8k dollars declared at the POE will that be good enough to hold as cash for the POE declaration?

To your 2nd question. 8k is more than enough to hold as cash to show at POE,with evidence of other funds to support eg credit or debit cards

@igetam...on PTA issue..I was just fortunate o. I went to see one of my clients who has various businesses. I met him talking to someone on phone about fx, then I got to know he is into bdc business. He didn't have the PTA but got it from another bdc who wanted to sell to me at blackmarket rate but my client insisted that he should sell to me @400 and promised to return the 4k usd to him as soon as he gets it from next bid.I doubt if he has gotten since then.

As for baby return ticket i dont really knw but DW should know

You have to fill ds160 form on the ceac website ,that form barcode/ number is what you will use to proceed to book an appointment on the appointment booking site, then the answers you give will determine if you're eligible for dropbox or not.

Thanks. None of these questions were asked. Our tickets were already booked even before we discovered the pregnancy.



KaptainAfrika:
Where you asked any of the following questions...
1. Do you intend to use this visa for any other purpose apart from vacation?
2. Will be taking any medical treatment in the US?
3. Is your wife pregnant?
4. Did you mention that your wife was pregnant.

Go for your vacation first, I just hope CBP don't ask if your wife is preggy, that will complicate things.
If you are successful in gaining entry into the US for vacation (you and your wife), when you get back to Naija, notify them of intent to use your visa for childbirth on the next trip.

Okay I went online filled form, printed out the DS 160 confirmation page, went to gtb bank paid visa fees. Then went back online to book appointment They will now ask you more questions after which the Dropbox letter will appear and then you print it out. It's quite explanatory when you go online and check it out. Then go to DHL office and submit international passport, confirmation page, Dropbox letter and one passport picture and visa fee receipt. Finito.

Hello experts in the house, I posted this some days back and I'm still seeking for a really strong advise on what to do as I am still really confused and disturbed about this situation. I honestly knew nothing about medical visa so please I'm opened to advice. E dakun.

Orestik:
Hello everyone,

I just started following this post. I have similar issue as @MamaP003 but the difference is that I am yet to travel. I got a visa earlier in August for relaxation purpose with my husband. A month after the interview, I found out I was pregnant so we canceled cos I couldnt travel with my plenty morning sickness and nausea. My husband traveled last month for a training and now the plan is I join him later this month before I start showing and stay in the US till I give birth. Do I need to write a change of intent letter? plus I havent even gotten a hospital or OB. I planned on doing all that search when I get there, until I discovered this topic yesterday. Pls educate me, what do I do? I booked my flight already for end of the month.
