Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by MaryAndrews: 11:05am On May 31, 2022 |
Hello guys, this thread has been tremendously helpful to me, and so in the spirit of giving back, I'm here to share my story. I submitted for IW and was asked to come for a 221G interview. I read a lot on this thread and contacted so many people for help and advice whilst preparing for the interview.
A little background. I got my visa in 2019 for vacation and later found out I was pregnant in 2020. I travelled in 2021 and gave birth. I spent almost 5 months. I had seen here how people who stayed 3 months or more were invited to explain why they stayed long, and in my case I also gave birth. So I knew that hmmmmm.
My transcript:
Me: Good morning (Smiling) VO: Good morning (Smiling)
She asked for my passport and I handed it to her
VO: So tell me, what did you do on your last trip to the US? Me: vacation and I also had a baby
She started typing
Me: (I continued talking like radio without wire while she was still typing) I told the CBP officer at my POE about my plan to give birth and he asked about my bills and my funds and I made sure to pay all my bills. I have all my receipts here.
I brought them out of my folder.
VO: I don't need to see those.
She kept typing
VO: Was childbirth the purpose for which you got your visa
Me: No
Her facial expression changed. She looked very stern.
VO: explain to me how you travelled to give birth when your visa was not for childbirth
Me: I got a tourist visa for vacation in 2019, got pregnant in 2020 and travelled to give birth in March 2021
She seemed to ponder over it a bit and then she kept typing.
VO: Why did you have to travel to the US to give birth?
Me: My pregnancy was high risk and I wanted to get better care than I was receiving here
VO: Explain to me why your pregnancy was high risk
Me: (I explained my medical history and mentioned the conditions).
She kept typing for a long time.
VO: Do you intend to go for medical this time around?
Me: No
VO: What do you intend to do on this trip?
Me: Just vacation. Visiting friends and other places of interest.
She typed for a while
VO: If you need to use medical on this visa, make sure you send us an email, because it may cause problems for you in future.
Me: What email address please?
VO: Lagosniv@state.gov There has been an update on the B visas on birthing
Me: Yes I'm aware of the update and I will read more on it.
She typed for a while
VO: Your visa has been approved. You will be contacted to pick your passport in 3 to 5 days.
Me: Thank you
I can't remember much after this point, but I somehow found my way out.
I was really concerned because I had a baby on my last trip. I'm really grateful to God that it all worked out. I don't know what exactly worked in this case. I personally believe I got a favourable VO.
I want to say a very big thank you to everyone that offered answers and advice, everyone who responded when I reached out to them, and everyone who answered my numerous questions here. Thanks to everyone for all your help. Dampops, Lady Chaplin, Mulberry, Onizeb, sappy1981, you all are so wonderful! Helping a stranger you've never met and investing your personal time and call credit. Y'all are MVPs! Please forgive me if I omitted your name. So many people helped me from here. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

sharrp: I’m not married , software engineering, the value of the pay is greater here . And I don’t have any zeal to live in the US at all
Great - if you get paid in dollars state that - they should know if you have a good salary that keeps you comfortable in Nigeria it's not going to get to stay. Talk about your family and any property you own. Good luck. |
