kristinbaby: Let's be honest, that is the REAL reason you choose to have your baby in the US, not the UK or South Africa, Ghana or even Nigeria. It's ok to be honest. It's not against the law to want a US passport for your child. 3 Likes |

Mamatukwas: The matter is not one about gaining or losing a "client" it's about informing and educating a patient so they can determine if they should come or not given all the possible outcomes, wherever they may choose to go. |

If you say, I know 2 people who paid the hospital bills(I saw there receipts) and still went to collect WIC cos their host said its no biggie. Even though I discouraged them, they still went ahead. Ayotundesh: 1 Like |

feddy27: Thanks alot for this. I dint evn know i can carry ribena. For the other foods she is not consuming in the plane e.g Goldernmorn, milo, peak 123 etc can i leave it the way its bought in their sachets/tins and put in the luggage (not carry on) or i have to pour out contents in a Ziploc. Am not really clear on this. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by feddy27: 10:26am On Nov 15, 2017 |
labelbybee: You can leave them the way they are. However, if you have anyone in a tin, it's advisable to pour it in Ziploc so that it will reduce your baggage weight. Preferably buy all in sachets. 1 Like |

Dear house, Is it possible to have a baby in a state, get babys birth certificate and SS in the birth state, then travel to another state to process the American passport. |

So many visa denials lately. Sorry to all concerned. Perhaps the link below might help someone especially questions 17 to 19 on why you were denied and reapplying. http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-gen-faq.html Applicants need to convince the VO in a few minutes that they qualify, in some instances without having the opportunity to show any documents. It all depends on what the VO believes about you...the default for EVERYONE is that you plan to emigrate to the US permanently...in this case guilty until proven innocent! You have 2-5 minutes to prove otherwise with your answers. Also people will do well to check their rejection letters properly. Is it a 214 (b) denial or 221 (g) denial. See below for the difference. https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/denials.html If it's 221 (g) then there is something incomplete in your docs. I know from personal experience that a domestic staff was give 221 (g) and had to return for interviews at least twice after the inital interview on the same visa fee..... because 1) she didn't have her employment contract, then 2) because it didn't contain the US minimum wage. Either way I reckon they wanted to give her the visa but needed to be convinced that she was not a victim of human trafficking. She eventually got the visa! My people this forum is GREAT but if something is very important......you need to do more..."research " as they say here...google is there....a wealth of info....look at the actual US websites. Study to show yourself approved. When all is said and done, God's favour is still needed o...abi.....how do you explain people that gave VO the same answers....one was given and the other was not and their circumstances are similar (maybe no travel history and low income)....i will gladly quarrel with anyone that says favour is not important. 7 Likes |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by Nobody: 1:35pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
So sorry about this. Something that has been mentioned before on this thread is not to give one word answers e.g. yes and no. For example Q: are you pregnant? Better A: yes and we hope to have our baby in the US in March if our visa is approved Or Q: have you travelled before? Better A: yes to Cameroon and Chad for military operations in 2016 and 2017 or whenever it was. Apart from giving you the opportunity to say a lot in a very short time, if I was a VO I would take it to mean that you are open and honest and that you are not waiting for me to ask before volunteering info to me. Just my thoughts...some may think it's too much.. elohim24: 2 Likes |

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by aye88: 5:00pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
elohim24: You said it your self. It could be because your basic pay was low and that was why the VO asked you if that was your major source of income. You could have simply added the other means of income you have. He probably isn't convinced that with your pay, you can afford the childbirth expenses. You can reapply but you have to be able to demonstrate that the other means of income you have are legitimate with proof 2 Likes |

kaakaa: Hmmm...I kinda knew that once so many people start jumping on this bandwagon of giving birth in the US due to spreading the news about it around and how easy the medical US visa was easy to get it was bound to be abused. You'll be surprised of how some women have abused the visa that after giving birth in the US runaway from paying the bills with having the intentions of not needing to return back to the US but at least they have gotten what they wanted and that is just to have at least one of their kids a US citizen. Some even result into just staying permanently in the US with no need to return back to Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Reine22: Hmmmm.....regarding "favour"....... @justwise pls pls pls don't delete my post... When we do what we know to be right, including telling the truth about our intentions to birth in the U.S. we have our accomodation and funding for hospital sorted and we never plan to use any form of aid and we plan to return home to Nigeria once done....and we get the visa...we call it's God's favour because we know it could have gone the other way.....VO is having a bad day...doesn't like your dress or make-up.... or just doesn't believe you! When we do wrong and lie and still call it God's favour......we may think we've gotten away with pulling a fast one.....but as sure as harvest follows planting there will be consequences for our actions....it could be future visa denials.....It may be nothing related to the U.S. visa...it may be another country 's visa......it may not even be visa related...it maybe one job in a couple of year's time that you are applying for.....but there will be consequences for our actions. Then there's mercy....story for another day ...a lady here explained how she had lied and came clean at a subsequent interview....and was granted...that some people get mercy is not license for bad behaviour sha! The fact that people do bad and call it favour does not negate favour sha! To acknowledge favour is humility...search the thread for the every well travelled lady who was turned back at POE with her whole family even when they had sufficient funding and had been on holiday the previous summer....and seemingly had not violated any immigration rules previously...granted Its rare but...... Please don't bash favour because people misuse the word, just leave them....... My 2 kobo!!! 4 Likes |

Reine22: I beg to disagree with you ma/sir! you cant generalize the case with everybody, what is the percentage of people going and not willing to come back again to those who are willing to pay their bills and return back to Nigeria. If you can proof beyond reasonable doubt you can pay your bills and return back home and its not illegal then why not do it. In my case i have even paid the hospital bills and was willing to pay the dr bills and the rest and my wife was denied due to some error we made. Please mind, you i WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANYBODY WHO IS NOT WILLING TO PAY ALL HIS/HER BILLS because as an economist, there is no free meal is either you paid for it or some one is paying for you so NEVER will i support that but dont generalize. That is my take on that. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 5 by aremso(m): 9:48pm On Nov 15, 2017 |
elohim24: dont change your income but in your DS 160 they asked your duties, you can also state in your ds 160 all these will be in their system which the vo will also must have gone tru b4 interviewing you. Thats my take on this, wish you good luck |
