Hi everyone, I applied for B1 Visa for conference since 2021 and the interview date I saw at that time was October 2023. I chose a date in October and it's coming up but the conference is past.

Should I find another conference in the USA and refill the Ds-160 form again then use it on the appointment or I should I cancel the appointment?

Also, if I'm to refill the DS-160 form, should I pay for another visa or still use the old payment I made?

I don't want to miss any conference in the US in near future

Please can I get any info on Visa on Arrival or ETC for baby? I contacted an NIS officer and he told me N265,000 for visa on arrival for the baby.

How does one apply for it, what documents should be submitted please? My sister needs some help.

Thanks in advance.

Please we need information on Nigerian visa on arrival
or an emergency travel card for baby. We asked an immigration officer and all he replied was to tell us to pay him N265,000 to process visa on arrival and he refused to answer any further questions.

Hello House,

I applied for a USA B1/B2 visa in June Ending. Upon filling out the https://portal.ustraveldocs.com/ to book an appointment, I was informed I will get am email to book an appointment. When I waited for a week, I was worried, I sent an email requesting to know the delay in sending me the link to book an appointment, to which they responded that I will receive an email once my request is approved. Now I am worried because I need to attend a conference in October this year.



Anybody in such a situation or have experienced such should please advise me on what to do.

I will suggest you keep ringing them or sending emails to them. I got my approval to schedule an appointment for submission in less than 15 minutes, I was surprised because based on what I read on NL I thought it’ll be a forever wait time.

Pls how near is the appointment daye you got?

Hi guys,
For those of us that used HNWMC and got billed by Pediatrix for the pediatrician services, please be sure that the payment you made & discount given reflects on your account……………especially if you have been given a discount.


In our own case, we got our bill early July - $1456; we called a number of times to request for a healthy baby package and after many calls they eventually gave a 50% discount - $728 and we were given until 3rd Aug to pay.
At this point, our question to them was would they be able to send us a new bill that will reflect the 50% discount (The reason behind our question was for us to have a documented proof that we were given this discount when we present our docs at the Embassy or at POE in the future)?
Every agent we spoke to advised that another bill cannot be sent out and that the discount and our payment will reflect on our account (mymedicalme account). After so much persistence, we were told that the request will be sent to central billing and so our account was on hold. The account was on hold for over 2 weeks and after several calls to them, we were advised that they cannot send out a revised bill.
We eventually paid the $728. After 2 business days I checked our mymedicalme account and it was still showing :
Payoff Amount: $728
Amount Due: $728
Due Date Oct 2018.
So I had to call them again. I had to explain myself all over again to the agent I spoke with…..she advised that it will be referred to central billing and put the account on hold. It took them another week to rectify this, and finally our account is now showing Amount Due: $0.


So if you used HNWMC/Pediatrix, please confirm your account has a Zero Balance to avoid stories that touch in the future.

Just like Debiee mentioned below, use ETC pls 265k is too expensive…and use Atlanta consulate too…I think Atlanta and New Jersey are faster than Washington.

Send in all that is stated in the website and mail it to Atlanta. I sent in my application from Los Angeles to Atlanta on Friday afternoon using priority mail $10 not priority express $28. The return envelop addressed to myself that I included was also for priority mail $10.

I tracked and saw that it was received in Atlanta Monday afternoon and it was back in my doorstep in LA on Thursday afternoon. My guess is that it was processed in less than 24 hrs. So use Atlanta pls. You’d spend roughly $170 in total.

If you use FedEx or usps priority mail express, you’d round up everything in 2 days

Hello again. Sorry, but have some questions:

Please who is the money order payable to? The Consular General? That info isn't on the site.

Hello Debbie,

Thanks for sharing. It seems most of these hospitals have stopped giving appointments. They say when you come you can book an appointment. How does one manage this

Hello All, I just came across this thread and I need some advice.

I have been trying to get a date for US interview and finally got August 24, 2023 after months of searching. I would be 37 weeks gone by then. The Agent I am using has assured me that all things being equal if I get the visa, my passport should be out within 8 working days which means I have to travel immediately I pick up my passport.

My questions now is

Is it feasible to travel at 38 weeks plus!

Are there airlines who can carry a preggie who is that far gone? Fortunately for me, I don’t have a big bump.

What are the chances I wouldn’t be sent back at POE.

I’d also need recommendations of good hospitals in Houston Texas.

Hi everyone, I applied for Dropbox last year immediately the ban was lifted. However, I was to come in for physical interview. My visa wasn’t granted. I believe it was cos I had my baby in the USA and I didn’t inform the consulate. The lady kept on repeating, “you had a baby in the USA”. I had no idea until I went in for my interview. Now my next interview date is close and I don’t know if anyone has had a similar experience and what they did differently. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
