Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. I didn't mean unborn child. How can one get passport for an unborn child in the first place? What I meant is that my wife already gave birth in the US and I am due to join her later to return to Nigeria together. Is there any problem if I get the passport here and take it along with me. As per passport photograph, I already have that and every other details.
Okay, I understand now... I can see you've gotten your answer also. |

I really hope that she does that or somebody else that knows the process because this idea of using contact within the embassy to get VOA will not work here.
The passport booklet is not available but when you contact the insider within the embassy the booklet becomes available? We need to stop feeding those corrupt Nigerian embassy workers VOA is not processed by the embassy. Its processed by the Nigerian Immigration Service at their HQ in Abuja.

Hello house God bless every single person who has contributed to this thread. Your contributions were of immense help to me hence, the need to give back. I have been reading as a guest but decided to sign up this morning. Brief background: I have a good travel history but I have been denied a US visa twice. Yesterday was my third attempt. My husband is a frequent traveler to the US, the VO acknowledged this during my second interview but because I was newly married, he said I was still building ties. What I did differently: 1. I filled the job description part of my application like I was writing my resume for a big job. I made a big deal of it 2. Where they asked for reason why previous application was denied, I strongly defended my ties in Nigeria 3. Prayer cannot be overemphasized. My mom, my sister and I were in a prayer chain which we neither planned nor discussed. It was after I got the visa each of them told me they had been interceding for me
VO: Good morning ME: Good morning (passed my passport to her) VO: (Looking through) what did you go to do in the UK? ME: Vacation VO: How long have you worked with Bleep? (I was wearing my ID card) ME: 6 years VO: (Nodding) Have you met me before? ME: No VO: Give me a minute to look through your previous applications, I see you’ve been denied twice and I’d like to understand the context within which you were denied ME: Okay VO: You say you’ve worked with Bleep 5 years? ME: No, 6 years VO: What do you do for them? ME: I’m an investment manager. Currently, we have about Nxxbn in funds under management. I … VO: (Cuts in) what’s your highest level of education? ME: (I did not anticipate this question, so I stuttered) Masters. M.Sc. VO: What field? ME: Finance VO: What institution? ME: University of Lagos VO: What year? ME: 2010, but my B.Sc. was in 2006 VO: What are you going to do in the US? ME: Childbirth. My husband is sponsoring my trip VO: How long have you been married? ME: 8 months VO: Have you contacted any clinic? ME: Yes. Hope Women’s Clinic is taking up my care. They’re in Richmond, Texas. The hospital is Oakbend. I have an acceptance letter from them VO: Never mind. How much does your total bill come to? (Typing) ME: $11,700 VO: $11,700? That’s a lot of money. If you’ve only been married 8 months, how are you able to afford that? ME: We have an investment account VO: (nodding and typing away) what does your husband do? ME: He’s a banker. He works with Bleep VO: Do you have any relative in Texas? ME: Yes VO: Are you able to stay with them? ME: Yes VO: Who might that be? ME: My husband’s sister and my mom’s brother VO: Plan to stay 3 months ME: (Thinking it was a question) no, 10 weeks VO: I’m advising you to plan to stay 3 months. You have to travel at least 4 weeks before your baby comes and it’s advisable to let your baby be up to 8 weeks before you get on a plane to take a long flight. So, give or take, 12 weeks ME: Okay (wondering if that means she has approved my visa because she’s typing away) VO: (Getting up and circling something on a white paper) Ensure you take along all your documents when you travel; your doctor’s letter, estimated costs, any prepayments you may have made, whatever. Just anything that can help you get in because you are going to have to show it at the border ME: Okay VO: Pick up your passport in 3 working days, I have just issued your visa (hands me the white paper) ME: Thank you
I'm so glad this phase is over. Counting down to July Congrats dear, I'm a July mom-to-be by God's grace too , and I was denied last week, I've reapplied though with my husband this time around and pls, which of the VOs attended to you (I known it sounds silly to ask though) 1 Like 1 Share |

No response yet. Kindly help. Thanks in anticipation. michnib: Hi,
I will like to ask if anyone here has used a midwife birth center for child birth. We had our first child at Delsol with no complications, paid all bills. A friend in El Paso Texas recently told of this option and the fee appears to propose huge savings, though we were considering Chicago for the birth but the distance of the accommodation to the hospital seems far from google map (over an hour drive).
Please I will need your advise / direction on this.
Cheers. |

I think about a lot of possibilities in life and I don't limit the power of my brain and mind to think widely. More so, there is no harm in thinking differently as long as it's NOT a crime. I thought about it, shared it, asked about it and got full information that I needed. That's the way I live my life, always thinking about possibilities! 4 Likes |

Hello Great people
Myself and wife have been reading previous posts becuase we plan to go to the US late august for vacation with hemmingsway safari resort, and then i would return after 2 weeks but she would stay back to have our first baby (just got married in december 2016).
Our interview date is June 1st, 2017 , we are yet to submit our online form, as our travel agent are assisting us with visa preparations. but they advised we apply as tourists, since we have a ticket for 2weeks holiday stay in orlando and then my wife can stay back at US to have our child.
Am a little bit skeptical because my wife has a virgin passport, currently awaiting to do her housejob (medical career) and currently a sit at home housewife.
I have travlled to european countries and have enough fund to sponsor our vacation and child birth in the US.
We already paid for our Vacation visa fee B1/B2.
We intend to stay in atlanta, because we have a family friend there for child birth.
[b][b]How do we approach this visa interview?
my wife would be 18weeks when we go to the embassy.
our travel agency advice that i make an id card, that she works for my private company as a doctor, to show local ties.
BUT i JUST WANT TO TELL them as it is...since i have the funds and my wife would definitely return to do her housejob to complete her medical career. we are planning to travel together.
Also need an advice for an affordable hospital in atlanta or maryland. (i have the cost already for northside hospital, need other options).
I would have prefered Houston but no accomodation.
Our proposed POE is Orlando. we intend to submit our application form by wed 24th may latest
Looking forward to an expert advice. Thanks |

*sigh* Why are travel agents so full of lies like this...??? @josh050558 If you manufacture a job for your wife and she is now asked to show her payslips or statement of account with salary inputs... How do you do that..?? More lies...?? Getting caught in a lie by the consular officer could seriously jeopardize your chances in future interviews. From other's posts you would see that a lot of people have been granted visas for childbirth even though they had no previous travel experience and they said the truth. I would advise you to go with your gut instinct and SAY IT AS IT IS!! I would have preferred if your wife went for the interview by herself so that she could use you as her tie back home but since you've scheduled it together,let's hope your travel history covers 4 her. Couples like yours have been known to be successful together too. Also, try and make sure you fill your forms yourself b4 those ur agents fill rubbish on your behalf 6 Likes 1 Share |
