I didn't have any issues, at all. I got approved for a visa today, via interview. Nothing was asked about my previous deliveries.

We were just asked how long we wanted to stay and what countries we had been to. That was all and the visas were approved.

ninab:

hopefully when u return you don’t have renewal issues cause it wud be so clear you left early without renewing because of your pregnancy
Wish u a safe delivery

You can go ahead and schedule an interview, if you want to. The passport I used to book an interview in November 2021 was renewed a few months ago.
I used the new passport for my interview today and just mentioned that it was a different passport from what was on my DS-160.

I was told that it doesn't matter, as they would work with my new passport. The old one wasn't asked for, at all, even though I had it with me.

Good morning Brethrens,

Please I want to know my chances here... My Passport is expiring in August 2023, and I want to apply for a US visa.. Infact, I am suppose to go pay for a US visa in GTB today but I am just not feeling it.. Considering the fact that obtaining visa interview dates is difficult, maybe my passport would expire before even getting a date... Please advice me.
Thank you...

Please someone should answer me🙏

I have travelled with my four children alone, several times, and have neither been asked to provide an authorization letter for any of them nor asked to show their immunization cards.

Our passports all have the same surname, though. That might be the reason... or not.

In 2013, though, while trying to board, at Amsterdam, an officer casually asked my eldest who I was and she responded with, "That's my mummy."
It seemed casual, but I bet she wanted to be sure that there wasn't anything fishy going on.

You should be fine, by God's grace.

Pls does anyone have info on this? Thanks

I renewed my B1/B2 visa late 2016 and had the intention of going on a family vacation with it in 2017. That trip couldn't happen, because of certain reasons, so that visa was unused and had just 5 days validity left on it when I flew KLM with my three children on 13th October, to go have my fourth child.
I had almost taken the decision to get a fresh visa via dropbox , but changed my mind because of the increase in asking dropbox renewals to schedule interviews instead, my obviously pregnant belly and the difficulty in getting close interview dates.
So, armed with the knowledge that I could be at the POE even at the last date and still get stamped in for six months, I decided to take my chances.

I was 35 weeks and 5 days, at the time of the flight and at MMA, the fit-to-fly letter from my doctor wasn't requested for.
While boarding after the layover at Amsterdam, that wasn't requested for either.


We got into LAX about 11:30 am on 14th October and proceeded to CBP.
All passengers were directed to use the many automated passport control kiosks to scan our visas and answer some questions.
I declared that I had brought in some of the foods asked about, then proceeded to scan my visa.
My old passports were attached to the newest, with rubber bands, so the entire thing was quite bulky. An officer noticed that I had difficulty scanning my visa, because of that, so he came over to help.
I noticed that when the machine asked my reason for coming into the U.S., he selected "Pleasure".
He also scanned my children's passports and the machine issued receipts for the four of us.
Then, we proceeded to the CBP officers at the counter. The one I went to asked nothing about my very obvious pregnancy, correspondence with doctor or hospital, nor did he request to see previous childbirth bills.
He didn't ask how much I brought in with me. I had already declared, on the machine, that I didn't have up to $10k cash with me, anyway.
He asked what foods I had declared and I told him I brought in dried veggies and dried fish. Of course I had more food than that, but those were the only ones I had been required to declare. I had brought in two boxes of food from Nigeria.
He asked when last I had come to the U.S. and I told him. He asked how often my kids had come to the U.S. and I told him how often each had come, since birth.
He looked at my visa, then at his watch. I guess he wanted to confirm that the visa was still valid then.
He asked how long I intended to stay and after I said, "Eight weeks," stamped me in till April 13th 2019, gave me back the receipts from the machine and pointed us in the baggage claim direction.
The entire interaction with him took about five mins.

We picked up our checked in luggage and headed to exit control, where the receipts were taken. We spent less than two mins there.

From there, we exited the airport and got a taxi to the Airbnb home we had rented.
Thanking God for a drama-free and very fast POE experience and resting up for my doctor and hospital appointments.

Hi, I just sent you an email, responding to your queries.

I used the information on the original post to renew my expired Driver's License in Lagos. It was indeed very helpful, as I had all my copies and passport photographs ready.
I paid N10,450, on the FRSC portal, for a 5-year validity.
Like the OP, I was confused as to which of the Eti-Osa FRSC offices was closest to Lekki and after unsuccessfully searching on the internet for the right address, I chose Eti Osa 2.

On Friday, I went to the FRSC closest to me on Km 15 Lekki-Epe Expressway and was informed that that office was Eti-Osa 3 and didn't handle drivers license renewals.
I was told that Eti-Osa 2 was covered by the FRSC office in Victoria Island, so I drove there.

On getting there, I was told that that office is actually Iru-VI and that Eti-Osa 1 and 2 were covered by the FRSC office on Simpson Street, Lagos Island.
It was too late to go there, so I set out for that office yesterday. I used Google maps and it wasn't difficult locating the office.

I was asked to go to a room for payment verification. The lady there asked me to pay N500 for that service. After money changed hands, I asked for my receipt and she quickly tucked the note into a drawer and told me that there was no receipt. That meant that money was hers.

The next step was the VIO office where I was informed of a Lagos State Government-imposed charge of N2,200 for Driver's License renewal. They had notices posted everywhere, to that effect and gave me some fliers too, to prove the legitimacy of that claim.

Their POS accepts only cards issued by Mastercard or Verified by Visa. I had only Visa cards, so one of the officers accepted a cash transfer into his account of the sum and he paid for me with his own card.

I had a written test, comprising of 10 questions, before answering a few oral questions and having an eye test.

I would have gone to the capture room, after that, but they had issues getting approvals for temporary licenses, at the time, so I was rescheduled for biometrics this morning.

Today, I spent less than 30 mins at the FRSC office, before I received my temporary license. I was informed that I should come pick up the permanent one in exactly 60 days, even if I do not get a sms from the FRSC.

Besides the confusion as to which office to go to, being made to part with N500 and the government charge, it was a seamless procedure.
