Many thanks to those who have contributed on this forum. Inputs have been very informative.

Folks, kindly educate me on this issue. My wife is planning to give birth in the US, and she is expected to leave Nigeria next month (May). She already has a US visa as she travelled twice last year. However, my son and I intend to join her in the States sometimes before or after her delivery.

Question (1): Would you advise that my son and I apply for the US visa before she leaves for the US (so we can all appear together) or after she gets to the US?

Question (2): Would she be required or allowed to join us during the visa interview since she is not a primary applicant?

Thank you.

@bigfido...you always have a phrase to crack me up here, lol@cbp in training
CBP wanted feeling wiser than wise with you imagine
Enjoy Yankee

Congratulations adycatus on your successful entry.

Where is that man that said "there's nothing wrong with Chicago POE, just be truthful and have your return ticket" again?

People that are experts in changing the date on return ticket from future to immediate present.

Adycatus, did you see any officer in the secondary inspection room with "houston cbp in training" tag? Houston dey learn work for there.

You always come "bearing" humour, ME LIKEY.

Chicago POE can make even a terrorist cry, the couple of hours they spent "entertaining" me was like a movie scene/set.... they reduced fully grown up adults to Mr Bean like characters!

I finally raise left yansh for them when one guy said his device was dead, the officer nor even argue, he just brought out one medium sized basket filled with chargers of different kinds& give the guy, make hin shoos make hin shois!

Say hin MUST see wetin dey inside!! Hot wee wee hold me with my big belle but I was falsely cool on the outside.... Psalms 23,91 & 121 just dey rotation for my mind.

I don't think it matters if you guys apply while she is in Nigeria or not,it doesn't make any difference where she is at the time of your application. Just tell them at interview that you guys are going to witness the birth of your baby and that your wife already has a visa. ( I'm assuming she told them at the interview that she was pregnant or that she was not pregnant at time of interview). It might also do you good to go with doctor, hospital correspondence and a photocopy of her visa page for interview .
She will not be allowed to enter with you guys for the interview

hello everyone. Please I need some clarifications. I intend to travel for child birth in July and I have some questions about visa application. DH filled separate DS160 forms for both of us. Then at the point of booking for appointment for interview, he booked as an additional applicant traveling with me. He then noticed that his visa type changed from b1/b2 to b2.
Visa gurus in the house. Are we supposed to book for the interview separately? What should we have done differently?
Thank you

ajiedeko:

Thanks all for the responses. I'm still learning how to post on this platform.

@Justwise,

the issue is that I don't have any doctor yet hence no correspondence. The person I will be staying with said d doctors told her they don't deal with international patients. So I will only contact them when I arrive the US. I don't have a problem declaring my intentions as I have the cash to pay. My only fear is that since I don't hv a doc yet, I might be bounced. Kindly assist pls. I tried to check thru the threads for any moms that hv given birth in Dallas so I cld get some dr's contacts that I can contact from here but no success. Kindly assist if u can cos I would want to be truthful as I can be. Thanks

Yes some hospitals have stopped accepting international patients but others still do. I don't think you really went through posts here for mums who have used Dallas because I think many have.

Have you tried using the link in first page to search?

fitmaama2:


Thx a lot @justwise. I sent him a pm and @ansol and I have started communication.

No worries. All the very best

Thats how you people will be cracking somebody up. Modath and Bigfido God is watching you in 3D

Hello all,

Please for my mum's interview, what should I expect she will be asked as she will be traveling with me. She hasn't travelled out before.
Thanks

Check metrohealth in ohio cleaveland, Google it and also check some hospitals in ohio cleaveland online, u will get there phone numbers. My brother inlaw in ohio tried making inquires for me on hospitals in ohio cleaveland, bit they were quiet expensive and I had to look for another state

Thanks@ biollar1

Seen but does she go with all the documents i went with or some specific ones? Mind not my questions it's to be over prepared as its the motto seen on this platform.

Hello All,
please Im new to this forum and I need suggestions on a particular situation bothering me.
My husband and I just got PPR request for passport for visa issuance from the Canadian Embassy, after a very long wait . We had taken our minds off it n assumed it was refused without communication .
At the moment, I am in the US for childbirth . Due to return to Nigeria mid June. We have been given 30days to respond with our police certificate from the UK and also to send our passports for the visas.
My own take on it is for my husband to go ahead to process his since he is the primary applicant and inform the embassy that I am not in the country and will send mine when I get back. Another suggestion we got was to notarise a photocopy of my passport and keep for my use here in the US while I send my original to the Canadian Embassy In Accra or to my husband. I am not comfortable with these options because I dont want to get stranded here waiting for my passport when its time to return to Nigeria. Also I need to process the baby documents and its not certain that I will be allowed to notarise as a non-resident of the US.

Considering the timeline we have been given, How can we ensure this application is not cancelled.

Please anyone who has a suggestion on how best to handle this.

adycatus no vex o but I love you much much, talk about preparedness and confidence. Congratulations on your landslide entry, enjoy Arizona my person, Its lovely out there. Will PM you for more details on Doctors and d scope of the bill for the hospital bill package. cheers.

Apologies, this is a mistake. Was supposed to post on another thread. I'm trying to delete. Its not working.

Make sure your pap is dry out (no water at all) and Iru frozen.
Have a safe trip and looking forward to reading your testimony. Ciao.

lol @ 1914. Some people were hurled down, and the son of man ascended the throne. Panasharp . I like your comment.

Natsuki:
I am my baby now I delievered in Methodist Sugarland
I paid 2538 for vd
Doctor 2400 and 200 for test
Pediatrician 200
I thought that was my bill but today I received another bill for usd 746,50 it says nursery and labs? The hospital is nice but i did not be very satisfied with all, and worse with this new bill that I never imagine why they are charging me I thought it was included in the package, so mamas be carefull ask for everything then they just send the bills it is not fair

Hi Natsuki,
Have you resolved the outstanding bills with the hospital now?

@Modath, making tired pregnant women wait endlessly I don't even find amusing. What was amusing me was raising left nyansh for them! Cracked me up for real. But truth be told, Chicago and Houston Poes reach to raise both nyash for one after the other. Infact even with thighs join sef.
