Hello VO, kudos for the good job ur doing.pls I av an urgent question which is bothering me.I got b1b2 visa few months ago and I told d VO I was going to av my baby in the usa.My hubby's office health insurance covers my maternity in d usa.Hubby wrote to the insurance company whose office in usa to ask for the procedure and they replied that his insurance covers my all my maternity bill in the usa but they asked we send them the name of the hospital so they can pay directly to them and then give us a settlement note.My fear is will it affect my subsequent renewals? Is a non citizen/perm resident allowed to use her health insurance for medicals in the state? Kindly advice as am so scared and wouldn't want to have problem in my subsequent renewals.Thanks 1 Like |

Ummuslimah:We don't give advice on specific cases. Keep in mind that U.S. immigration law assumes immigrant intent, and it is up to each person to prove to the VO they do not intend to immigrate. You should bring whatever documents you think may be useful for your interview. |

govman4:Sponsors are not required for visitor visas. Each person must qualify on their own. |

9jabiggurl: If you will likely travel with your children, then yes, you should include them on the DS-160. |

Vicobaba123:We do not give specific advice on applying for visas. Good luck if you decide to do that. |

Bobbyz1:There is no rule for what qualifies as having strong ties. Marital status is one of many considerations, including a person's job, income, prior travel history, extended family, and more. The best advice we can give is to just be honest about your situation and your U.S. travel plans. Good luck! |

eazydune:From a visa perspective, you need to ensure that all bills are paid and that no U.S. government funds are used for the medical care. |

richard4ssky: As always, we advise you to answer this and any other questions truthfully. Why DID you select a particular school? Your answer can speak to your motivations and qualifications as a student. That being said, there is no specific answer that we're looking for. Speak from the heart and speak truthfully. |

[quote author=specilex post=28424692][/quote] Without knowing the specifics of your case, this should not cause a problem, but you should be prepared to discuss any of these errors or discrepancies at your interview. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 3:53pm On Dec 01, 2014 |
Adegbulugbe: We cannot comment on specific cases, but all applicants are advised to wait at least 90 days after a refusal before they reapply for a visa. Due to an incredibly high volume of visa applicants in Nigeria, our interviews are often short, but they take into account a very thorough review of every applicant's application form. The interview questions are meant to supplement the information in the application. We do not require any documents of visa applicants, and as such, often never ask for or look at documents. |

Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 2:49pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
marryjay23: Your DS-160 confirmation must match your application confirmation page. If they do not match and you come for your current scheduled interview, you will be refused admission to the visa hall. Your options are to cancel and reschedule your appointment so you can correct the discrepancy, or apply for a whole new visa interview - including filling out a new DS-160 and paying a new fee. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 2:51pm On Dec 02, 2014 |
layo23: Your friend should read his refusal letter in detail. It will outline the section of the law under which he was found ineligible. He was likely found to be ineligible under section 214(b) of our law. 214(b) is not a permanent ineligibility, but honestly, presenting fake bank statements in an interview will NEVER help an applicant to gain credibility in a visa interview. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello VO, I applied for a b1/b2 visa in March 2013 when I was 2 months pregnant and single but was not asked if i was pregnant. I did not have the intention to deliver in the US as at the time of application. I was given a 1 year b1/b2 visa. I travelled to the US with my whole family (mother and 2 brothers) August 2013. All questions were directed to my brother and he said we came for family vacation/tourism. I was heavily pregnant but was not asked any question as my brother answered for the whole family. I had my son and paid all my hospital bills in 2013. I got married to the father of my baby March 2014 and applied for a new visa August 2014 with my husband and included that our son would be travelling with us and was denied according to section 214b. The interview was as follows: The VO asked why our son was not applying for visa and I explained that he was a US citizen and dint need a visa. He requested to see my hospital receipts which i gave him. He asked where I and my husband work, we both work in the same company Asked when we got married, answered March this year Reason of travelling: Visit this year and child delivery next year (trying to be very truthful) We were denied and given a blue papar referring us to section 214b I reapplied alone for a B2 visa and was interviewed yesterday (Dec 1). The interview as as follow: Reason of travel: Child birth Name of your doctor and correspondence: Gave her letter of responsibility, doctor's appointment, estimated cost How much do you earn monthly; I said about 450k but it varies from 330 to 450 depending on allowances and subsidies and I filled 330 on my form Requested for my account statement: I reminded her that my husband was paying for the trip and gave her my statement and his as well I offered to give her letter of sponsorship from my husband but she declined I gave her my budget sheet which was about 2.7 million naira She complained that my estimated cost was low and she understands that delivery bills are above $10,000 and mine was about $5,000. I explained that i had been given a 40% discount for paying cash upfront and that was the same amount i paid for my first son's delivery I also offered to show her estimated cost from other hospitals in the same state which she declined. I noticed that she did not ask any question about my husband She also asked the reason I gave for travelling in August and I said "visit this year and child delivery next year"; but she said she can only see visit on the system. I was denied again according to the same section 214B It will be good to have an idea of what i can do better to be eligible next time. I understand that my first visa covers medical as well. Am just wondering if i have been denied because i never informed the embassy when i changed plans and decided to delliver in the US instead of visiting. Please assist. |

Hello VO, Hello everyone, I am currently on f2 visa in US and got admission for spring so I need to change to f1 to be able to enrol for classes. I applied online for the change of visa status but the wait time till approval is like 2.5 month which will put me at the middle of february and classes starts January 12. I am thinking, should I travel back to Nigeria to change my visa status to f1? what are my chances of approval if I come to Nigeria for the visa interview since I already applied via the online elis uscis? should I just wait in the state for the visa approval since some people get their f1 approval even before its 2.5 month? PLS I NEED YOUR ADVICE |

SisiOlu: We are sorry, but we cannot comment on specific cases. When officers review cases, they look at the full body of information from your applications, which would include your past applications, your past travel, how you used the visas in the past, and how you intend to use a future visa. It sounds like each of the officers has reviewed your case thoroughly. Should you feel that you have other information to present, you are welcome to reapply, but please wait at least 90 days before you do so. |

victoreo: Please see the detailed information on our website. All appointment booking is done through a third party company. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 2:51pm On Dec 03, 2014 |
GraceyMeryl: Unfortunately, we cannot advise you on that choice. You have to decide for yourself what will be worth it. We can never guarantee anyone's "chances" of visa issuance. Either way, you will have to have approval - either of the adjustment of status, or of your own student visa. |

Hello VO, I want to know how to update my new passport number in my profile because I have applied for a US visa sometimes back with my now expired passport and presently wants to book a family appointment now but showing me my old passport number. Also do I open a seperate account for my wife and son or I can schedule our appointment under my profile platform. |
Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by abujaniv: 2:49pm On Dec 04, 2014 |
dee85: Your best bet, in this situation, and at any time, is to fill out your DS-160 form as accurately and completely as possible -and to complete it yourself. It sounds like you should put that your marital status is "separated," and that you should update any and all other relevant information to reflect the changes in your life. Your application will be reviewed if you submit your passport for Dropbox renewal. If anyone wants to get more information from you, you might be contacted to come in for an interview, at which time, you should just explain the situation. Don't fret - if you've used your visa wisely in the past, a change in your life such as this likely isn't going to affect your eligibility. |

veecee29: Your mother will have to apply for a brand new visa. We do not offer replacement visas. |
