Good evening everybody o. I hope all is well with everyone. If I missed any birth announcements, then a BIIIG CONGRATULATIONS to all the new mums. This belle de do me serious something. It's like me n my toddler are competing for 'who will spend more time in the hospital' but God de. He will never leave anyone of us halfway through our journey.

I was waiting to give a testimony of how I did dropbox renewal strictly on the info I got on this thread,but now I need help. I applied for renewal on thursday, today I check my dashboard and I see I've been invited for followup appointment. I dont know what to do, what it means, what I need for the appointment... I tried searching for "dropbox", "dropbox renewal" "dropbox visa renewal" I got nothing. Maybe it's the pounding head, maybe it's all the uncertainty surrounding my pregnancy right now, maybe it's just preggy brains but I dont know how else to get the info I need. So I'm begging, can anyone help me? Please... Justwise... LadyG, Nef...FTYmum... anyone... please I take God beg una. Help save a soul. Thank you in advance

The follow up appointment is a new system just introduced by the embassy just last month. Someone I know went for interview and was given the white paper that visa approved only for them to call back the same day and said that there's a follow up appointment. My advice is for u to check your dashboard on time and see the avaliable date because it's booked till August. The follow up appointment is usually Tuesdays in the afternoon from 2pm. I hope this helps

Can someone pls send me Mr Fred's number pleaseeee.Help a sister- this is my email address- misslulu88.Thank you.Nagode.

LadyGuinivere:

This is where you make use of the space/column where they ask why you were refused.
State that you do not think the vo considered your husband and 2 kids and the fact that you have worked without a tarnish in xy bank for x number of years and earn soo so and so when he reached his desicion

nefertitiram:


Na wa o! I don't know what to say... but just attend the interview with all the necessary documentation for childbirth visa.

I think it's hi-time I say this here. I didn't want to because it's a theory that has been running through my head.

Mamas, if you need to renew your visa for childbirth, please choose to go for an interview instead of selecting dropbox. Then attend the interview with all the necessary childbirth documents aka phema's burden of proof.
Because whatever Trump is selling, seems VOs are buying.

My dear people,

I was seriously praying that I will be typing my testimony today, but it is not to be apparently. Please I need your candid advice as to why I was denied today. I have been preparing and reading every post you all and I gained a lot so I really thought I was prepared. My visa class is B2

My transcript:

VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: Asks for my passport, I handed it over. He typed and typed and then, why are you going to US?
Me: To have my baby
VO: Where in US?
Me: Houston
VO: Why Houston?
Me: Because I have friends there and the Doctor I will be using is based in Houston
VO: How much did you budget for the cost of this trip?(Trying to use his exact words)
Me: $13,153.00
VO: What do you do for work?
ME: I work in a Bank, blablabla Bank precisely
VO: Opened my passport over and over and then typed and typed and then brought out the blue paper. ''Unfortunately you are not qualified for US visa, read the blue paper .........I just went blank sha. Dissapointed and sad.

Please I need your urgent help and advice. The paper says I cant appeal the decision so that means I have to pay again and schedule and interview. Please is there a way I can also expedite the interview because this one took me more than a month from the date of scheduling. I am almost 30weeks into my pregnancy. Appreciate all the help.

LadyGuinivere:
Because of the denials of the past few days I think I should point out a few tips
1.Make your intentions clear
For egs. A lotta folks say 'vacation and childbirth'. Whaat is that? Are you going to honolulu to surf abi are you going to enter jangilova at Disney? Your purpose is childbirth . Fullstop!
If you read a lot of transcripts both here and at the visit visa thread, the vo's are always preoccupied typing what I don't know. Make him look up. Make him see you as a person not just a number. Now that sets the mood for the interview. It also establishes you as a straightforward persoon.

2. Why do you want to birth in America.
Biko. This is very key. Unfortunately the vo may not phrase the question like this. Bu anyhow e take ask am: For egs 'Why Dr F.' 'Why Houston?' 'Why Sugarland?' It all boils ddown to why don't you want to born in any of the states in Naija? Why should I give you a pass to my country to born. You MUST know the answer to this question. That means breaking it down to personal reason, reason for the hospital choice, location etc. In my opinion, my friend said, my uncle said is not good enough.
If I didn't have a visa and I had to apply to birth I'd prolly answer like this
A: Because the suffer I suffered to get this pregnancy ehhh , I don't want stories that touch'
Only a person with a broken antenna for gossip will fail to ask ,' what do you mean by suffer'
Now you have led the interview to favourable grounds for you. I want to believe that if you finances are tidy, by the time you finish your explanations, only a witch will refuse you.
My colleague in her interview said ' because of the risk of multiples' and when asked how many she said triplets and na congrats congrats the interview take end.
Now I'm aware that not everybody has extreme stories but that's the beauty. You should be able to have a reason personal and true to you.
Somebody once saod his reason for travelling was to see snow. After the vo laugh finish e give am visa.
It may b that you want the cosmetic stiching and to eat immedately afterwards your cs unike naija where u drink lipton for 2 days.
It sounds silly BUT if stands out. That plus the reason that the hospital will cater to that need as opposed to a naija hospital.
I don taya to type mbok!

cutie333:

Congratulation Biola1 . Please I will need all necessary info concerning the bills at oakbend and Dr E

Hello everyone . Don't know where to start as I had to exit this thread cos I had miscarriage early this year and all I read and planned for delivery actually evaporated from my head. Glory be to God for his faithfulness for performing another miracle in my life. Want to say a big thank u to firsttymum, LadyG, Justwise &Co....for their patience in running this thread. I had my visa long before I got pregnant the last time and I wrote a letter of intent to the embassy , I didn't get a reply. Didn't follow up cos I lost the pregnancy. Will write another one soon and I hope they reply. I'm back on this thread and I pray God will see me through this time.

Biola1 biko I need info from you o......your testimony is sweet mbok

feddy27:
Posh404,

Biollar1 is a nursing mother; she can't start type things that are repeated. Use the search button. You will see others that used Dr E. Example: ozycy, firsttymum, click on their profile and read thru dia posts, u will find cost breakdown.

modath:




Firsty, LadyG ..... Na so una nor ask of person..

biollar1:

Chai! U too sabi me oooo. When I saw her pm ehn...I just gave her my number straight. I didn't even know where to start from.

How r u doing? Make u dey do small small o

I await ur testimony soonest and I shall rejoice with u too.

Bisoye82:


Remember this option wasn't favourable to Oga onelinesm (I hope I got the moniker right)
So it's still an unpredictable exercise.
In my own case the embassy didn't bother me,at POE,cbp didn't even ask for burden of proof for my present journey but requested for receipts from my former missionary journey.
Basically different kain for different yansh
Cheers everyone
