Just to share my story, I have left usa on 16th of April and travelled back on 20th of April, I have informed CBP due to my wife's pregnancy she can't travel back and she has 6 months entry she can get medical treatment as long as I am paying for it. They have sent me to a room officer called my name and started shouting at me saying I know f.....g game this and that I told him I have emailed you guys he didn't wanna hear noting they have held me at Houston airport for 27 hours. Been shouted and humiliated and I'm the end they have sent me back so be careful guys. the reason I am sharing my story because I am devastated, I was just honest with them and what I got for been honest.CBP officer said its illegal to have baby in USA he was obviously lying one after another I was treated like an criminal at Houston Airport and in the end sent back.May god bless you all. |

Riz2015: So sorry for your ordeal. That was awful. Were you pregnant during your visa interview? If yes, what did you tell the VO was your purpose of going to the States? Did you travel with enough cash and did you make proper hospital arrangements? |

Riz2015: reading your past post you were expressly told that there is black and white rule that prevents you from traveling back on ESTA, you should have listened to the email. Anyways sorry about your experience, like others have said at least your wife is there. Safe delivery to her and you take it easy ok? |

Dear friends, Join me in praising the Almighty God!!! My visa was approved this morning. The issue of my hubby's green card didn't come up at all. I made sure I was interviewed by a man. Kept dodging in the queue till a guy was free. Didn't want to deal with all those frowning women I saw there. I will post the interview transcript once I settle down in the office. I am still overwhelmed with joy ![]() ![]() 21 Likes |

Feel so sad for this guy, he only wanted to be honest. I think the problem wasn't only having his wife in US for childbirth, they had spent a lot of time already while in US already. Now, he returned after 4 days out of the country, apparently, he needs to prove that he doesn't live in US on a visitor's visa. That's the F**king game foreigners play and it pisses them off. They go to US, get stamped in for 6mths, live and work and jolificate, then return to your home country a day b4 visa expires, stay one week and come back again to get stamped in for another 6mths, and they cycle continues for the duration of the 2 years visa. So in addition to the very annoying fact that foreigners come to give birth in US, the CBP assumed you intend to still play that game. Double infuriating if you ask me. If he wasn't so pissed off, he should have given you 2 months to stay and take care of your wife and take her home... but hey, that is Houston Airport, Capital of overzealous POEs 5 Likes |

Riz2015: So sorry about what you had to go through. I have also gone through your previous post and i cant find anything you did wrong by returning to the uk.You sent CBP a mail that you would need to go back to the uk to sort out some issues and return back a couple of days later and you posted this as their reply " However, ESTA does not guarantee entry. You can be denied entry with an approved ESTA because it is up to the officer at the border to determine admissibility. According to U.S. Immigration Law, every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until they establish to the satisfaction of the CBP Officer, at the time of application for admission, that they are entitled to a nonimmigrant status. Therefore, the key is that the applicant always bears the burden of proof of admissibility that he/she is not trying to live in the U.S." Which is the case with every visa holder trying to enter the Us, that the fact you have a visa does not mean automatic enry,the final entry approval rest with CBP? Take heart bro and thank God that at least your wife is there. 1 Like |

VISA INTERVIEW WAS GREAT!!!! LASTED LIKE 10 MINS I walked in and the VO asked me my reason of travel, i told her plainly i want to have my baby in the USA. VO: What city are you going to? ME: Houston VO: Do you have any doctors letter>? ME: Yes and i show her and include receipts of part payment for both hospital and doctors fees. VO: Where do you work? can i see your statement of account? ME: I hand them over and offer to show her my letter of consent and pay slips VO: I don't need to see any other documents. pick up your passport on ...make sure you collect a zero balance letter from your hospital for renewal of your visa. end of interview. 7 Likes |

dere5: you left out the last sentence According to there email there is black and white rule which prevents me to travel back thing about ESTA is its a visa waiver valid for 90 days at a time over a 2 year period. if you are going to be going in and out frequently, you are always advised to get a proper visa. Anyways, the most important thing is for those going from visa waiver countries to learn from this, plan your trip within 3 months / 90 days to avoid overstaying your ESTA or having to leave and come back in |
