Shiebi:



Hubby and I were also denied visa in May this year.

I had no change of intention frm the visiting visa to the medical visa. But we were not denied on that ground. Ours was that we didn't take our bills and receipts along, and because we were still on a payment plan.

We applied again in July, and got a date in Nov. Applied for an expedited interview date but was declined that child birth is not a real emergency.

Exactly, one week ago, we were before another VO, we had our bills and reciepts and zero balances this time. And we were honest about the failure to procure a change of Intention for the previous birth, and apologised. She stated categorically that there's nothing wrong in having a baby with a visiting visa. We were shocked!

She asked their usual questions.
She handed us the white sheet and added that they'll need time to go through the payment documents we handed her for the previous birth, and that we'll receive an e-mail or sms expressing their decision on our application. I was so nervous at this point that I'm not sure I included all my itemised bills.
DH said he heard her say that the visa decision will be made in a day or two. But the white sheet says within 60days. It's a week now no info.

Am really worried for the following reasons;
1. My EDD is middle of nxt month, and am really big and exhausted by now. (P.S. I'll be going with a 2yr old toddler).
2. Have cancelled my appointment with my doctor severally.
3. Am considering writing the Embassy, to inform them about the urgency of my case, and to add that the visa will be useless to me if it's approved after this period. Cause I refused buying ANYTHING for my LO's birth cause I planned to shop there. Didn't want to carry much load.
OR
Should I give up on the visa and start plan B of having the LO here, and start shopping for him.

4. My mom had already traveled in October to wait for me, cause she said she can't travel in d cold.

Am very sorry for the long post. Pls help! Am not together at all.

My dear, the deed is done, you can't kill yourself. Just tell them the truth and apologise sincerely. Personally, I had no idea about the change of intention thingy, otherwise I would have applied for it.
As for the huge discounts, you didn't beg for it. It's what the service providers placed before you that you paid. Tell them you had no idea you were supposed to reject self pay discounts. That it's novel to you.
Besides, you are not going to have another baby so I don't see why they should still reject you.
I would have loved to say be confident, but I was gittery.
All the best tomorrow. The house awaits your success story.

Good afternoon good people of this thread, please I need your candid advice, in 2015 I had a baby in the USA in August 2015 at 37weeks, in September 2017, I and my family applied for visa through Dropbox but we were denied under 221g, we went for interview, I was the only one questioned ( majorly about why I had so much discounted hospital bill and why I did not disclose my pregnancy status during our interview in Jan 2015) well we were denied visa. We are scheduled to have an interview tomorrow and I really don’t know what to expect and I am so anxious. NB:I am not pregnant at the moment. Please what can you all tell me to encourage me and help me prepare for tomorrow’s interview. Thank you

Hello Diapearl. This is a question best posed to customer service. If you can't get into your old profile, make a new one.

iphiechuks:
Sup, there is really no big deal about the name, from ur info, u and your family qualify for dropbox, all u need to do is while feeling the DS160 form, your maiden name will serve as named previously used while your marital name will be the current one. While submitting your document, you need to submit both passports cos they usually request for current passport and previous passport with already issued US visa.
my 2cents.

Diapearl:
Dear VO, Thank you for your response.

abujaniv:
Hello Diapearl. Name changes due to marriage do not have a negative effect. Be sure to put down your maiden name in the "other names used" part of the application.

Please can some give me details of an agent I can use to apply for my baby's Nigerian visa. I am in houston and Mr Tanko is not taking his calls. My flight out of the US is for Friday next week so need to get the visa ASAP

sayoberry:


No problem.
I've sent it

sayoberry:


Someone asked for this

gudluckgreat:


What's your point actually?
What debts and what do u mean by all this silly statements??
He admits the situation and never denied it.
Apart from the primary school teachers and workers of Imo transport Co, there is no other section that has been left unattended to in terms of salary payments.
And when u talk about huge debts you give us facts. Stop being sentimental.

You were able to lie with ease at the Embassy that you weren't pregnant at six weeks gone. You should be able to come up with defences that will conquer POE (even IAH - the best of them all).

I'ld advice you to be careful in trying to make this work. If you're "lucky", the CBP officer will search and look through all the pregnancy related records in your bag or scroll through your phone or tablet for preggie related information. All in the bid to puncture holes in your story
yes being some1 who isnt close to me, u would say i lied with ease... but at the time we booked for interview, i wasnt pregnant and i just found out few days b4 my interview that i was pregnant and was adviced by some1 ( whom i think may not also know the consequences of lieing about pregnancy status to a VO) not to disclose it because it would make them deny us visa. Ok i got the visa and while searching for cost n procedure to get hospital and birth in US i found this thread and from what i read i decided to ask this question.
meanwhile what is IAH?

To err is human...

This thread is primarily meant to help people gather or share appropriate information about a process and not how to circumvent that process. If the moderator is not going to speak out I will because the stigma of being from a "fraudulent "country affects us all. We must be the change we seek it's that simple. The fact that you could come back to attack me speaks volumes.

Amother4life:


I think we should make it a point of duty to keep the integrity of this thread. Especially when someone has clearly confessed to misrepresentation during an interview . What if this was a "VO"lurking around this thread? We are already a country under suspicion let's try to keep this community above board please.

I think you should write back to the embassy that you are pregnant and would like to birth in the US, if your visa has already been granted. You might be called in for an interview but you should be ready to defend yourself as to how you didn't realize you were pregnant at the last interview you had.
