I guess if we had traveled in Nov it wld v been fair enough. Cuz of my lack of experience it dint click wen d VO was askin me & probably I assumed since it was jus 4a 2wks vacation no need to prepare any medical preparation. I no better now.
Thanks firsttymum 4ur advise.

Morg all..
I am new here..
My elder sis introduced me 2 dis forum few wks ago & I v learnt alot. I v read almost all d pages in part 1,2&3. I feel so blessed to b here. And I hail all d lovely mama's & papa's in d house. U guys r 2much.
I will like to share my lil experience wit u all.
I applied 4a US visa in 2013 & was denied, I went alone, wit a virgin passport, was pregy den but it wasn't obvious. Reasons best known 2 dem I dint get it. I took a break gave birth 2my baby boy in naija.
My hubby has been to UK yrs b4 we gut married. We went to Ghana last year 4 vacation & decided to reapply as a family 4a US visa dis Oct. On d day of interview, unfortunately 4me I cldnt go in cuz I had an issue wit my bar code of 2013 which did not tally wit my appointment letter, I had to stay bk while hubby & son went in. I was frustrated & decided to engage my self in prayers, lol, am not a prayer warrior oo. Prayer was d 1st tin dat came 2 my mind. I prayed althru while I was outside waitin 4 dem. To God b d glory my hubby & son came out smilin, dia Visa was approved.
He wasn't asked much ques, dey jus asked him Wia he works, how long he had been wit d company, wats his position, wat state he is goin to & 4 wat purpose & how long is he stayin. Hubby replied for thanks giving, family reunion, Indianapolis, for 11 days. VO: I can c ur wife is not here wit u. Hubby explained. VO: Wia does she work. Hubby answred. VO: Wia v u traveled to. Hubby said UK alone, Ghana wit family last yr., hubby brought out his expired passport to show d VO of his stamped UK passport. D VO used a microscopic glasses to confirm d stamped visa. VO: Ur visa has been approved.
Dat was it, no doc was checked. Nothing.
I had to re-book my appoint via my agent 4 mid Nov.
On d day of interview I packaged myself as usual, I was preg but not visible to all.
Went in.
VO: v u been hia b4
Me: I dint refer to 2013 refusal oo, I jus went straight to sayin yes, was hia last month wit my family, cldnt cum in cuz of d issue I had, form DS 160 dint tally wit my appointment letter. My hubby & son's visa has been approved. Sharply I gave him my son & hubby's passport.
VO: went thru d passports & confirmed it, he opened my hubby's profile on d sys & asked me Wia my hubby works, how long he has been wit d comp, wat his position is, and Wia I v traveled to in d past. Explained all to him.
VO: asked Wia I work. I answered
VO: asked if I v any reason to go to d hospital , or If I v prepared any medical plans.
Me: I said no.
VO: He said if I eventually go to d hospital I wnt b attended to, dat I will b turned back.
Me: Ok.
VO: we r Tryin to encourage couple/family travellin. Ur Visa has been approved.
Omo menh I no fit shout. I jus say thank you waka commot. God is gud.
Unfortunately, we cldnt travel on d 24th of Nov due to my hubby's tight working schedule. So we v decided that I Shld wait & v d baby in US.
I v learnt 4rm d lovely mama's in d house dat I will need to mail d embassy of my change of intent.
I will b due in march 2016 & I intend travellin in mid Jan as my ticket has been booked already. I intend birthing in Texas, Elpaso. Thou will spend time in Indianapolis 4a month.
My ques is:
1. Has any1 given birth in indianapolis, cost & all so I can compare wit Elpaso.
2. How many March Mama's do we v in d house intending on birthing in Elpaso.
Pls let's hook up.
Luv u all..
Thanks.

anizi:


sending the money via western union to your self before you leave or have someone send it after u leave., cheaper than black market. My mum did something like that a week ago via 1st bank, the exchange rate was N199.8 to $1 but u will pay bank charges about N15k + to send $1k, so all in all it will come out to about N216 per $1. Better than black market.
But theres a snag, 1st bank says u can only send $1k per transaction, they gave my mum a story i could not quiet understand . Try other banks that send western union. Bank transfer is a no no, even before $went up toN260, bank was changinging at N237 per $ for bank wire transfer, minus fees.
