Hello mummies.

Please, I just want to confirm again if US is still issuing passport to little ones born there.

Any recent testimonies, kindly share.
Thank you.

I got my baby's passport 3 weeks after birthing. It could have been earlier if I wanted... So yes, US is still issuing passport

Debbieeeeeee:

You’re welcome, You don’t need passport for etc. what you need to apply for etc is consent from you & husband, bio data pages of passport for both parents, birth certificate, return ticket to Nigeria and baby’s passport photo. This is what I used to apply to the Atlanta consulate. If you want to apply to other consulates you have to check what they require.

Nnekkyneks:
Thanks alot I have done this

Taal17:


I don't think you should have applied again after your refusal this September.

Leave it alone for at least a year. The visa is for you not your kids, visas are privileges you are not banned so relax. Try again in a years time besides your kids can vacation anywhere else.

If you want to look back at the interview then after they asked about you seeking medical treatment then you could have said you might consider giving birth in the future but this trip is for a vacation.

Now it doesn't matter, keep your receipts and try again next year. You didn't seek medical treatment on your first visit, you did on your second and third. You declared at POE both times. You paid your bills.
Fortunately you'll get a CO that will give you room to respond.

Pls has anyone applied to Atlanta Consulate for ETC of the baby by sending the required documents through mail recently?
It’s been a week and no response from them yet.
The phone number of the consulate also never goes through to the point of speaking to someone.

Greetings to the house,

Set of 2017 and 2018 mama here🙌🏽.
Please for those that have renewed their children’s American Passport, do they accept any other form of Identification like the Driver’s License apart from the international passport from the parents? Hubby international passport is expired and the renewal is taking longer than expected!

Hello everyone. The summary of my question is, Is it possible to get an F1 Visa (Study Visa) after giving birth in the US.

This is my timeline

-Oct 2022- B1/B2 Visa approved. Although one of the questions asked by the VO was if i intend to seek medical or surgical treatment in the US & i answered NO
-Oct 2022- I travelled for 3 weeks to the US & returned to Nigeria
-Jan 2023- I travelled back to have my baby. (i never sent a change of intent email). but i stated my purpose of childbirth at POE. the officer even advised me to make sure i get all my receipt & zero balance statements. I came back in May

Please do you guys think i have a chance of getting my f1 visa approved with the above explanation.

PS: i intend to go with my 2 kids. the older one was born in nigeria so i'm applying for f2 visa for him as well.

Thank you

Hi everyone,
Please I need help!!!
I was refused visa twice . Since I gave birth to my second child in 2017 haven’t gone for a visa application so I went in for interview on September I was refused. I had all my receipts then I got a date for today which I went for as well and I was refused again. I had my children in 2016 and 2017 respectively. I sent letter of intent and I also said it at the POE so I wasn’t hiding. I paid all my bills. It’s just that my kids really wanted to visit the USA. They haven’t gone since they were born. Please how can I go about this. Should I get an immigration lawyer and please does anyone know a very good one

MamaOO:


E go hard. You were asked point blank and you lied. Don’t take yet USC child to your interview to avoid questioning about why you’re not applying for the F2 visa for him/her. Pray you don’t get asked about what you did during your previous trips to the US and if they do, don’t lie. You’re gonna be digging a hole that will be impossible to get out of.

zichien:
I mean technically she visited the US with the visa and returned... and then went again the second time. IMO she can still give it a shot but will need to be major prepared with invoices, receipts, letter of zero balance, letters etc, and prepared to defend why she decided to return a second time to give birth. If her F1 visa application is solid eg you are offered an MBA to say a prestigious school that oyibo no fit go with scholarship sef, and have enough funds to back it up in your account, and have a logical conversation about how this degree impacts your career choice then its possible. Nothing is impossible. Have faith.

Hello Everyone

Please which is faster for LO travelling back to Naija ETC or Visa on arrival

MamaOO:


That’s why I said “E go hard”. Not impossible BUTTTTT very very hard. She straight up lied. That’s misrepresenting and we all know that is one of the gravest visa errors to commit. One of my family members that didn’t lie, but supposedly overstayed (stayed in the US for 2.5 months) still never get visa till today. 5 denials and counting.

zeezahra:
I had my baby in NJ on the Jan 24th and was back in Naija by 18th of Feb.. we used the US pp and VoA for baby.. though we went to the PP office in Philly and got same day PP because of our travel date.. i landed with baby when he was less than Three weeks old.. and with his US PP..

1stGenAmerican:


Question—did you visit an OBGYN in Dallas during your October 2022 visit?

1stGenAmerican:


It’s black or white—did she overstay or not? If she didn’t overstay, why isn’t she appealing the denials instead of spending money to get more denials?

Deepeeh:


1. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast.html
Use this link and get the phone number of passport agency. Do this exactly 2 weeks before ur return with baby to Nigeria (make sure ur flight ticket is ready, also baby’s own). If you call earlier, you will be wasting ur time. You will be given a date to come to the passport agency office on that phone call to come process LO’s passport. You will also be sent an email with your appointment details.

2. Go online and look for DS 11 form. Fill it on behalf of LO. Print it out. You will be taking it with u to the passport agency

3. You will need a passport photo for your LO. Taken with white background.

4. You will need LO’s original birth certificate to take with you to the appointment

5. You will need proof of ticket leaving USA within the next 14 days

6. If daddy is not in USA with you, he must fill DS -3053 form in Nigeria, take it to the consulate in Lagos or embassy in Abj and get it signed by notary. He must go with his Nigerian passport as proof of ID. After which he will DHL the original DS 3053 form to u in USA. Expedited dhl delivery should get to you in 3/4 working days. This document is very important to take with you for your appointment.
https://ng.usembassy.gov/services/notarials/
The link above is where to get an appointment in Nigeria embassy/consulate to go sign the ds 3053 form. (Start looking for date from now pls.. because available dates in Lagos especially are like 1 month ahead. Available dates in ABJ if lucky can be 1/2 weeks ahead. However it must be signed only after LO is born. Because u need info of LO’s DOB. So pick a date few days after your due date if u r still expecting ).
However, if daddy is with you in USA, both of u will just go to the appointment together. No need for ds 3053 form.

When you go for the appointment, if lucky, you can get passport same day (you can appeal to the passport office to pls process yours same day). Or you will b told to come back in 2/3 days time. You will definitely get the passport before your travel date back home.

Hello sis,
Where and how did you go about your LO passport, i am due in few days time and I am in Dallas TX. I just want to know how to go about it so I don’t waste time.

Thank you 🙏
