In Spirit of giving back, I had my interview today, Although I was denied but I was happy that I said the truth at the interview. Had my first visa in 2015 Sept for visiting but gave birth in Dec,never knew I could declare child birth,I remember I saw a heavy pregnant woman that and I and hubby was saying she's bold. Anyway, I paid all my fees and we went on vacation again in 2016 with no issue at POE. It was here I knew about zero balance, hospital and doctor correspondence etc.... I called Boston Medical centre and my zero balance was sent. We did Dropbox for renewal, hubby's own was issued and I was called in for interview. Before the dropbox, I already called hospitals and doctors in Boston since I knew I would be called to explain myself...below is my transcript: VO: Good morning,can I have your passport Me: Good morning and hands over the passport VO: Why are you going to the US Me: For childbirth VO: How long did you stay in the US the last time Me: 20 weeks VO: What were you doing Me: I had my first child VO: When Me: December VO: You had your visa in September and gave birth in December, that means you lied during your interview. Me: Yes and am sorry for the lies VO: Do u have proof of payment Me: Yes and I showed it to her, she went through it VO: what do you do Me: I told her where I work and I explained my duties extensively VO: what does your hubby do Me: I told her what he does VO: We take the issue of 'credibility' very serious, am sorry ma'am I can't give you the visa. Lesson learnt: Before embarking on any project, do your research very well and extensively, if I have the information I have now in 2015,I wouldn't have been denied the visa. I hope the newbies learn from my experience and always be truthful. 24 Likes |

Desire12: Thanks. I actually got correspondence from 2 hospitals in Chicago before travelling. Kindly pick ur fone and keep calling. It took me about a month to do this. It's really sad when people don't wanna do any research at all but wanna be spoon fed. I couldn't have gone thru Chicago without having a correspondence. I actually had two which I showed at POE. (St Bernards, mercy hospital and mount sinia will give correspondence. Jst be persistent and keep calling till you get what you want). As for someone who asked for accommodation, pls sit with Airbnb and check. I met some mums on nairaland and we were able to get a 3 bedroom apartment for a good deal in the heart of town thru Airbnb. This took almost 6 weeks before we got what we wanted. You can also contact the hosts once you see what you like for further discount because the long stay actually pays Dem. This trip costs a lot of money and we should be willing to invest time into what we wanna put millions into. 12 Likes |

Bubbles123: Discounts are usually given to international self pay patients. it's clearly written on the bills. They usually give a sort of criteria for benefiting from that discount usually may say if you pay at the first visit etc. The itemized receipts and zero balance also have the fees and discounts given. Hope this helps you. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by thermolady: 1:15am On Oct 17, 2017 |
toesyn: Kpele toesyn; if not for this forum, there go I. Me too suggest (if you still have time), that you re-apply & in the DS160 space for 'reason for visa denial' acknowledge fault & sincerely apologise without sounding desperate. Go for interview again with all your previous receipts with the optimism that you'll be given a 2nd chance. Good luck! 4 Likes |

Good Day House, My Wife and daughter went for interview today but was denied Transcript bellow; VO: Where and why are you going to US DW: to chicago, i'm expecting another baby VO: Congratulations (with smile) VO: any correspondence? DW: handed the mail trail VO: what do you do DW: i am a fashion designer VO: where does your husband work DW: she told him (An O&G) firm VO: how much do you budget for this trip DW: $14k (handed our budget sheet) VO: any appointment? DW: yes she handed her appointment letter from hospital (VO typed for few minutes) VO: have you traveled outside Nigeria before? DW: yes, i schooled in Ghana and i've also been to Liberia. VO: i'm sorry you do not qualify at this time (Gave her blue form). I don't really know what went wrong but i know you can't predict US Embassy. My wife have not been happy since, i can read that while talking to her on phone. i am willing to pay another fee but the earliest date is mid December, Her appointment is 13th of December. Please do anyone know if they can approve their emergency request because they missed their appointment last week due to heavy traffic and we requested for an expedite date which was granted. I will appreciate your responds. God bless you all. |

nobody09: Can't say if applying with hubby is an advantage or a disadvantage,because i have seen a lot of people in both categories getting visas,so do what comes natural to you. Telling the Vo that he'll be joining you latter sounds great. I don't think the pictures have to be the same |

Unfelt: Thanks my brother, the travel history really matter ooo infact will advice pple to visit UK fisrt b4 applying for us visa. Also, they should go as a family. these were the mistake we made during my wife time almost zero traveling history and she went alone but this time, by God grace we are preparing and taken time to study every situation b4 we apply again. eventually my wife birthed in nigeria but am not giving up, this time around, we are applying as a family. so he should look inward and check they can reapply again if not they should hold on for now and get deeply prepared before going again but the should NEVER GIVE UP |
