@ chan baby truth is this America thing is a big sacrifice especially in dis Buhari administration and trust me the last thing you want is to be stranded in the USA (that's when you will know to do moneygram you must be at the bank 6am only 2 transactions per day you may get 1 or 2 people but trust me you won't get 10 pple to queu 6am to 8 am for you also people have their own plans for their time allocation and after money gram charges the difference is slim and very few banks still do it a lot have stopped and for those that do Na serious stress and connect ur hussling with traders too)or for CBP to ask for ur cash and you don't have something substantial.
What was your budget at the embassy ? Most mothers have noted they like to hear you have $10,000 cash on you or in ur American account.
It's not easy but I advice you take at least 75 -80% of your money on you except you have paid the hospital bill and then you can say hubby is doing moneygram.
Just avoid POE issues but if you can close eye buy it and hold ur cash .....I hate stories that touch!!

Good evening all. Just joined nairaland but I have been following the thread as a guest.

I had my son last year in Elpaso. Got the visa for vacation but didn't use it until I went to give birth. Though I was asked if I pregnant at my interview and I said yes. Wrote change of intent email before I left.

I just applied for renewal via Dropbox and was called for an interview and was denied.

Transcript below.

VO: Good afternoon
Me: Good afternoon(with a smile)
VO: I see you gave birth in the US. Can I see your itemised bill.
Me: (passed all my receipts to her)
VO: How much did it cost in total
Me: About 6k plus but there are other bills like hearing tests etc that I did but not included in the package. All receipts are here.
VO: I see your bill shows more than that.
Me: There was a package for self pay cash paying patients so there was a discount and it's shown on the receipt.
VO: Why did you get your visa for vacation but go and give birth.
Me: I couldnt go cos of work.
VO: Why did you choose Elpaso.
Me: My cousin in the US recommended it and it met my budget.
VO: Did you have any complications
Me: No.
VO: According to the US immigration law, your application is not qualified for a visa. (hands me the yellow paper). This paper explains it.

Please house, has any one had this experience?

Gurus in the house, where did I go wrong and what do I do next. I've been to Dubai twice and UK three times.
I forgot to mention to the VO that I informed the embassy about my change of plans. Don't know if this could have made a difference.

Plus what does itemised bill mean? Should I have had all my expenses on an excel sheet or what?

Please help.

Please what questions was she asked and was she given the visa?

Austine2020:
It simply means that they haven't decided on your application yet, But u have to check your applications regularly to know the outcome or to know if interview is required or not.then if no interview is required,that means your Visa will be issued. I think they will give u the visa,because if they want to call u for interview,they would have sent u an Email straight, thats how they called my wife for interview when she did Dropbox.

Please have you gone for your interview and what was the outcome?

isysleek:
Good afternoon all,

Please those who renewed visa thru Dropbox and called for interview, what documents did you take along for the interview?

I have been informed by the embassy that I have to come for interview. I know I am to take all receipts for my daughter's birth. Please what else do I need to take along?

Thanks.

MamaP003:
Please have you gone for your interview and what was the outcome?

Madam i'm sorry about the whole visa ish, but hitting the nail on the head I think you shot yourself in the leg!
I once mentioned it at a point that this change of intent format won't work again later because of abusing the letter.
If you got your visa for vacay use it for it first before you proceed for childbirth, but everyone always has an excuse so we can even say this is genuine and this is not genuine
The v.o obviously denied you because you didn't use your visa for the purpose it was gotten for initially, which means she thinks you lied to obtain the visa by false pretence, which didn't go down well with her certainly.
When next you're reapplying you have to be able to prove beyond balance of probability that you didn't intend to lie.
Good life madame

So finally. We have gotten there...
The place where change Of intent worketh no more...
The place where past misdeeds are punished...

Good morning house. Please can anyone help with cheap affordable accommodation in Houston between Dec27 and 18th Jan. Thank you

LadyGuinivere:

Yes na these people know what they are doing and now even change of intent won't work again, what's even change of intent in the first instance, Mens rea is always before actus reus, the intention has always been there for most people that do the so called change of intent later, now it's even difficult for these v.o's to actually see through who is lying and who is saying the truth when they are always changing intention up and down

MamaP003

I've mentioned this a while ago, and i think there was a debate about it and a final concensus. ladyg do you remember?

Besides the fact that you didn't use your visa for the intention, this is what causes your issue

. VO: How much did it cost in total
Me: About 6k plus but there are other bills like hearing tests etc that I did but not included in the package. All receipts are here.
VO: I[b] see your bill shows more than that[/b].
Me: There was a package for self pay cash paying patients so there was a discount and it's shown on the receipt.

Was your zero balance statement included in your receipts? It shows discounts/adjustments. Which nulled your bill to zero. Now the bone of contention every time is who paid for the discrepancy between the main bill and the discounted bill? Immediate assumption is tax payers. I think it comes from about 20k+ to 5k+

When you reapply, get a letter of non indebtedness from your hospital as against a zero balance statement.

Good morning mamas in the house. please can i pack all my load in 1 place instead of having two 23kg bags. i would rather go with just 1 bag but surely weighs more than 23kg. i will be flying with lufthansa.

Yes my zero balance statement that shows discounts/adjustments was included in my receipts.

I don't know how to get the letter of non indebtedness from the hospital I used cos I didn't contact the hospital directly and I hear doctoresparati doesnt use that hospital anymore. I will contact them anyway. Thanks alot.

You will have an over sized luggage. The reason why they recommend 23kg or a little over is for ergonomics so as not to injure the handlers at loading and offloading (by giving them occupational injury ie back injury)

Please what if i decide to use my husband's company as my sponsor? This is my first birth with a virgin passport. Please what documents will i need to provide to avoid being denied.

Please note that my husband is one of the directors of the company.

Thank you.

Rule 1024: Thou shall never use thy husband's company or your company as thy sponsor.
Basically it will be seen as fraud. Use your husband's bank statements (and yours, that's optional) since he's probably going to sponsor you.

Company money is for business.

Why should a company sponsor childbirth for employee? Na who put the belle inside or the person wey get the belle suppose pay for the trip.

chibertha:
I believe the loop hole is you not mentioning change of intent. Reapply and this time try to drop it in at the interview.

Change of intent holds no water nne. A lot of things went wrong at that interview. Starting from vacation turning to childbirth and bill of 20k+ becoming magical zero in the zero balance letter after you paid 6k+.

Any logical person will ask... what happened to the rest? NO matter all the english she spoke, someone bore the cost of the discount, and its most likely the taxpayers (they will chose not to understand discount or negotiation), meaning that if you had enough money in the first place for childbirth, you wont need to negotiate...the VO had already decided she was a public ward dependent on taxpayers money hence:

VO: According to the US immigration law, your application is not qualified for a visa. (hands me the yellow paper). This paper explains it.

Except she meets an experienced VO who understands the concept of discounted bills for self pay patients, anyone attending to her will raise eyebrow at that zero balance statement

@mamap003,

You will need to contact the hospital and explain the situation to them. You need a letter that says you did not take public aid and you paid all your bills as agreed in your inital contract. An itemized bill is what you get from the hospital/doctor's office from inception that you will pay so so so amount for so so so procedure, and you paid accordingly.

Good luck bae

LOL, very true.

I just felt it would be easier to agree with my boss just for the visa application sake but i will still fund my bills myself.

But i guess it is of no use jor. This visa thing is just scaring me.

Yup.
Non technical explanation... Its human beings that carry the bags during loading..lifting 46kg bags is bound to break someone's back
Technical... Floor loading/weight/centre of gravity blah d blah
