I quite agree with you. I believe the 30k issue has to do with insurance and she has no idea of self pay discount. It is also true that Tanzanians dont travel much. Not sure they know about US childbirth. So, VO may just have been unnecessarily tough.

Another thing is coming to Nigeria to apply. How do I do about my sponsor because am not working now?

sugah:

How far gone are you?
Consider reapplying in Nigeria. The VOs here are more used to the medical/childbirth tourism unlike their Tanzanian counterparts. That 30k new rule thing is absolutely false IMO.

to catch buses or train go to google maps put in location and where you will be going to and click on bus or train. don't forget to put in the time then search it will give you the bus/train stops, expected time of departure and arrival, distance and number of stops.
Ensure your phone is internet enable it will help you find your way around at all times.

creamynuela88:

No, i will be staying about 40mins away from Inglewood. My uncle resides in Northridge area, i will be using Uber, Metro bus or train. I still need to learn how to catch buses and trains...

Hi Tripletmom, I am presently in North Carolina, though using Henrico doctors hospital. Can I pm you?

Tripletmom:

Nwebele:
And a family friend who lives in Uk was blaming it on my clicking that I fraudulently entered through false purpose of visit. Thinks I should not have clicked that as it would be pointed in their system. And because the US is strict now on immigration. I wa sonly trying to be honest this time which I told the VO. She said she appreciates but even if she considers me, the cpbs would send me back

If I go back to lagos, how would they see my husband as my spinsor living in another country?

And wont they see my change of interview location as a sign of desperation?

If they ask you, tell them you already scheduled a visit for a family function so u decided to do it at same time.

Your husband can still be your sponsor just take his statement... I was living outside nigeria but I always flew back to nigeria to apply for visas without my husband and he was always my sponsor. Secondly when asked why I came back to apply, I always tell them I am home for vacation and decided to do it.

What exactly did u tell them at point of entry? Giving details will help others help.

Coming back to try from nigeria may or may not work but it might be worth the risk, if u really want to travel.

I came in with DH
CBP: What are you coming to US for
Both of us: Vacation/ holiday
CBP: How long are you staying
Me: 2 or 3 weeks.
CBP: Stamped us in 3 months.

I stayed March 28 to July 16. Had baby in June 13

I would have left early cos i got my baby documentation at Dallas fast enough but paediatrician advised to stay for one last baby appointment. Cant remember if it was hearing test.

Hmmmm.... I think your husband's second entry chat was the confirmation and the cbp wrote something down.

I think you should try again though...if u can. U might meet someone more understanding.

Thats what am thinking too

Pls,send a PM ma

@Newbee07


Sorry we don't recommend/review or promote any agency here that was why your post was hidden.

Brownshoogah:


Why not go outside the airport and get a nice hotel for a cheaper price... Ibis (with breakfast) and premier inn has for about 70-90dollars tops and you can use a free shuttle. That 1 lounge gets full easily and that 90pounds is for only a few hours. I gathered this from online research. So keep an open mind.

To go outside you would need a UK visa or a transit visa. I guess

Mamatukwas:


I will keep it in mind dear thanks, it's just that I'm traveling with my mum and 2 kids plus my big tummy... trying to reduce waka to the barest minimum!

Why are you taking your older children along? The stress of their upkeep nko?

If it's for enquiry on cost of birthing you will be referred to go look for a doctor first.
There is a website for that linked to the hospital page.
I can't put that here as it will be deleted by the moderator.

Tadal7:
Good evening moderator and all members. Please i need email address of west houston medical center on Richmond. I need to send urgent mail and my browser is not opening their website. Thank you.

Note that if you refuse to put his name on BC, you will still need proof that you have full custody. Court papers.

What court papers Single women give birth. Hospitals dont have your martial history

My thoughts too and that is the reason I asked specifically about single mums. Glad I can do this without putting DH through the trip to abuja or lagos. If he gets the chance then great for us if he doesn't well I will simply not put his name down.

Nwebele:
Tanzania

I guess this is same VO my friend met in Tanzania. She kept saying 30k kiniko. They are not so used to pregnancy/giving birth story like in Nigeria. Maybe you can come back and reapply. My friend applied twice and was denied

@Nwebele ma,

"Have you ever sought to obtain or assist others to obtain a visa, entry into the United States, or any other United States immigration benefit by fraud or willful misrepresentation or other unlawful means?" @The bolded makes that part of the form concern you in my opinion.

A key question remains, your overstay, was it done on approval or you just overstayed? Well, I think three years or so after the overstay ought to have softened that part. It's when you do above 365 days that earns you 10 years ban at the least....

I'm with the team that think you might still have a chance doing your interview in Nigeria, but it seems you are fast approaching your EDD, give it a try if you can push.

Don't be too hard on yourself too, may it be well with you on this quest!

That is if you told the hospital registry at the point of registration that you were not married. They will ask about your marital status when you're about to be registered at the hospital

ladeonas:

[my people, pls am worried, am on payment plane which is till on but my visa has expired I intend to go for dropbox is there any possible I will be given or should I wait when am done with the payment.pls I need ur advice

Correct!

However, the woman can still choose not to add the father's name to her child's birth certificate.

There has been instances where the new born child didn't belong to the man the woman is presently married too.

Ooops!

Looking for cheap ticket to Houston. Pls help NL

AroOkigbo:

40 minutes drive is like Lagos to Ibadan though on a good road. That's more than $40 uber ride (to and fro) each time you visit your doctor. And on the day of LABOUR?
You may need to explore Northridge when you get there...there may be closer and nice facilities and doctors there.

Lagos to Ibadan 40 minutes.. only a F1 car can make that trip.

40 minutes is not too bad if thats what you have. Remember traffic and others is part of this 40 minutes so not bad.

mamaron:


just thinking about this fraudulent intent you keep referring to......did you state this in the security and background questions at the final section of the DS160 that says "have you ever obtained or asssited others to obtain entry into the U.S. or any other U.S. immigration benefit by fraud, wilful misrepresentation or any other unlawful means"?

I assume your B1/B2 visa was legally obtained (unless you submitted any false docs)....and you got pregnant 1 year after......what exactly did you tell the CBP that made you click yes to this question? I think you may have been too strict on yourself. See this link...its a very serious question to answer yes to.

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume8-PartJ-Chapter2.html

VO didn't seem to focus on this though and was looking more at the financial....but I think you should look at this question again when you reapply.

it's the straw that broke the camel's back.

It's like someone who has stolen a friend's pen let's say in school answering yes to have you ever commited and been convicted of a criminal offence.

Entry visa is not the issue but I have to go with them... Have help though.

Hello people. So i have a scenario where il be spending about 2 weeks in England before onward travel to Amelica... My worry now is Fit to Fly letter? Has anyone been in this scenario? How did you deal? Coz I'm thinking that the letter I leave with won't be valid by the time I'm ready to continue my trip... And I don't know if a doctor in the U.K. Will give me... Any persons with experience or pointers should please share. Thank you.

Hello house, please is a total budget of $21,000 too much/suspicious for a family of 3(myself, husband and daughter)? Because people keep saying it will raise suspicion at d interview. Please note, my birth related fees amount to$9k+

@Mamatukwas,I don't think Delta requires fit to fly.Saw it on their website though.You can google it and may be call them to confirm.
