I'm also talking about ds160 b1/b2 first timer scenario.
Abi o... Most of the time they give them b1/b2.
Correct me if I'm wrong for Abuja only b1/b2 option is there... Or something like that

Perfect, very correct for Abuja (no B2, you have B1 and B1/B2) unlike Lagos where you have all three options, but that is for appointment scheduling, not the filling of your DS160 form. Just go and peep your previous form sha especially the one you were yet a first timer and you will be surprised you likely filled B2 (the TRAVEL INFORMATION part of it as shown below, it has three options and I still believe it is more appropriate for birthing purpose first timers to pick the B2 option, even those on vacation/tourism).

But What of those in Abuja

Whether Abuja or Lagos, you have to pick one of this three options below WHILE FILLING YOUR DS160 FORM even if you didn't have a direct "confrontation" with them while paying your MRVisa fee at GTB and while scheduling your appointment for either Abuja or Lagos. How then do you deal most appropriately when asked to SPECIFY as a birthing purpose first timer now that you have selected the B class option (under PURPOSE OF TRIP TO THE U.S.)?

Lol...i had to confirm and realized that all the 32posts were all questions and even the those that were answered were not even acknowledged and not even a thank you.

Dear customer, ensure that payments for int'l card transactions (ATM, POS and WEB) are made in the local currency of the country of visit or foreign website where transaction is taking place. By paying in Naira you may be billed at a lower rate than our bank's approved rate and the difference will be recovered from your account. 012769676

I selected b1/b2 for mine. And a couple of peeps have asked here and they also selected b1/b2.

When u get to the VO
Their first question is usually almost always why are u going to the US.

ARE YOU SAYING THOSE BASED IN ABUJA SHOULD FILL LAGOS FORMS? BECAUSE THERE'S NO B2 ALONE OPTION IN ABUJA.


I DIDN'T SAY FILLING B2 ALONE IS WRONG BUT FILLING B1/B2 IS ALSO NOT WRONG



HONESTLY I'M DONE WITH THIS ARGUMENT.
IT IS NOT WRONG TO FILL B1/B2 FOR A FIRST TIMER INTENDING TO GIVE BIRTH

LOADS OF PEOPLE FILLED B1/B2 AS A FIRST TIMER AND THEY GOT THEIR VISAS.


NO OFFENSE BUT PLS I'M SERIOUSLY DONE WITH THIS BACK AND FORTH. I'm bored

did u call the airline to add tickets.

Btw is what United charged me to mine

Well for our own we choose b2 for both of us and our visa when it came out carry B1/B2

TOKNOW:


My dear, for your own, when you click B1/B2, another question will come up saying specify, then you click on B2 which is for medical. For your hubby and daughter, when you click B1/B2, then for the specify question, choose vacation and tourism/ tourism and business.

We r changing ur name to kweshunaire.
Truly u have 32 posts and all of them are questions.
U don't truly acknowledge a post. Ordinary Simple thank you.

I also noticed u sound like u r male and sometimes female

U r an agent until proven otherwise.

Dear mums and dads, please when we eventually get to the US. let's drop some of our naija mentality. I guess most doctors that stopped taking Nigerian patients did not make that decision because some people defaulted in payment but some because of our strong head and stubbornness. Though they want to make money they would not do anything detrimental to their Liscence. If your feel strong and doctor and their equipment/gadgets states otherwise, please follow medical advice. It will only do u good and other Nigerian patients will come other you. Let's not rubbish the better health care we all 'sing' abt.

I think you should call the airline instead of going thru wakanow, I'm almost cert that u ll get a cheaper quote. I got my ticket from wakanow and when I wanted to add LO, I called etihad and twas 10% of my return date's ticket.

Thank you all for the contribution.
My parents finally came yesterday via Qatar airways.
They brought d snail(fried) and the red oil lol.

They spent 4.5 hours at immigration because of the Intensified security check for July 4 and too many travelers

firsttymum:


I'm gonna correct something. I have a B1/B2 visa I'm sure most of us here does. DRPINKY IS correct with the B1/b2. Picking only B2 isn't wrong but picking b1/b2 is also NOT wrong As a matter of fact it's broader. I've used my B1/b2 for child birth, for vacation, for training. I'm sure u get my point
DRPINKY ur B1/b2 is very correct.. You are on d right track

One mama here was denied the 1st time and asked to go and apply for B2. I forgot her moniker. After she reapplied as B2 she wa given. Sometimes these VO'S brain de touch o

These got me laughing... But brings serious food for thought. Biko people why would anyone deny having relatives unless d relatives are illegally present or in jail?

Biko this our applications even though seemingly do or die isnt really do or die. Honesty is key!
If them give you be thankful and if they dont...you can always reapply or wait and find out Gods plan.

When you lie the first time, you have to keep lying. They lied on their application, so it's only sensible to keep denying that they have relatives so that d story will gel

Flew Airfrance from Lagos yesterday, no one asked for fitness to fly, POE was uneventful and my bags were not checked at agriculture.
Had 40 mins delay at France and was scared I would miss my 1.50pm flight to HOU. Thank God everything went well, am still cruising the flight now..
Will share my story in full when I settle in houston...

Please I need to seek fertility help in the US, how do I go about it? How do I get gynecologist? Will the gynecologist invite me after getting one?

This is a new one. But a very important question. I really can't help, but I'm hoping someone else can provide an answer to this

Hi guys, i'd like to appreciate everyone on this thread for their comments. Pls I and my wife submitted an application for a tourist visa sometimes in MAY not knowing and were given visas on Monday but right now I'm thinking of having her give birth in the US because she's due in early Dec. My question is do i write a letter of change of intent because we intend travelling early August and what are the chances that our visas wont be voided? pls I need help

Narrow your search to a state
Search for hospitals.
Email them. The patient co-ordinator will get back to you. All the back and forth between you guys is correspondence. That can be used for visa application. You can also get an appointment.
If the Virginia/ maryland area is ok you can check
1. Shady grove- they have many branches
2.Inova
You can pm me. I think I still have the business card of one co ordinator like that

Not knowing what exactly? Tht you were pregnant? Oor that you should declare? Cos its clear you know very well u intend to give birth in the US and already have a plan outlined. And the purpose of this question is just to validate that plan
From this night , take out time. Read from like 50 -100 pages back. Your question has been hashed and re hashed. You have enough time . Before day break u willl be enlightened

For fertility, u mean ivf? If yes, i suggest czech republic. It is way cheaper than us.

My dear eeeh! D matter Taya me but God dey!
$700 is what Qatar lagos office quoted 4 me after I called Qatar US and was told I can't pay for any flight as far as its landing in lagos cos dey don't accept payment for LOS flights over d phone be it credit/debit card(am thinking they have been defrauded or somtin cos d lady says it's a new coy policy). So I asked the lady what do I do then, so she said d only way is to have some1 walk into their ofc @ empire state building/@d airport and pay the cash ($150) with my booking ref n baby's info. My BIL has contacted his frnd who lives in newyork to make the payment.
Am sharing this for mamas that flew with Qatar so u can plan ahead.

Mw, wakanow starting ignoring my calls after I disturb them Taya (I got the engaged tone).

U weren't very specific. Ur tourist visa, is it B1B2? If so,no need to write Change of Intent letter. Just ensure u tidy Dr's appointment,pay any required fees like first appointment and travel with all your receipts and email correspondence.
I wrote Change of Intent letter and thats what I was told.
I'm also due early Dec so see u at d airport!

Chai! I envy those dat can afford to travel 3-4 months before EDD. As for me, if I could travel at 38wks and be assured all is well -and don't need Fit to Fly, dat will be awesome! Not to mention, risk of on-air delivery!
I need my maternity leave like popcorn needs ground nut!
