Goodmorning to all the wonderful people here. You have contributed a great deal and we all have learnt 1 or 2 things. Please my question is I have a valid visa that will expire in mid June, am planning to travel first week in June to stay till mid July. Some1 said I don't need to apply to renew the visa since they will stamp me in for 6 months that it's covers me even though the visa will expire. Please how true is that? |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by OmoBendel24: 8:09am On Mar 26, 2018 |
Prettymi20: True and possible, except that the "6 Months" part is not exactly correct nor mandatory, that is, even if it's standard and the norm, you could be stamped in for lesser time too depending on the CBP officer you get to meet and the circumstantial considerations.... 3 Likes |

I dont think you should ve any issue at Houston POE for using Oakbend, they see alot of preggies who want to use Oakbend. HNWMC and Oakbend are the most popular hosps there and mostly used by foreigners. Thankful11011: |

Prettymi20: Yea, it's possible to stay for the period the CBP officer stamps you in; even though your visa expires during. Read here http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-gen-faq.asp#qlistgen14 Q.14 My visa will expire while I am in the United States. Is there a problem with that? No. You may stay in the U.S. for the period of time and conditions authorized by the Department of Homeland Security officer when you arrived in the U.S., which will be noted on the I-94, even if your visa expires during your stay. 3 Likes |

Good evening everyone. I have been a silent reader for about 2 months. DH and I went for our interview today but before I proceed let me give a brief history. DH and I applied for a B1/2 visa in July 2014. Had d interview in September 2014. Was asked if I was pregnant and said NO ( I wasn't). Was asked if I intended to receive medical care over there and said NO. Visa granted, traveled in October for the conference but returned last week of October with a missed period. DH and I felt we could use dsame visa for childbirth. Honestly had no clue about medical visa(thought B1/B2 covered all). Also had no idea about this forum or about a change of intent letter. So, started our search for Dr, hospital, got estimates and paid. FF to POE in May 2015, CBS asked why I was in the US and I innocently declared Childbirth (thought I was good to go) was asked why I lied at interview about d pregnancy (thats when I knew there was trouble) .... But told the CBP that I didn't lie cos I wasn't preggy at the time of interview. Asked if I notified d embassy and said NO cos I had no idea that I was to notify. Asked for my estimates, evidence of payment and Dr's appointment and statement which I showed and was stamped in for 6months (was lucky to have had the documents). Had LO mid June 2015. And left after another one month. Traveled again in Aug 2016 for family vacation with DH and 2 older kids and LO (who was 1 at the time). So visa got expired over a year ago and I am preparing for second missionary journey. That's when I came across this forum and have been reading like I am preparing for my final exams. So, got all my documents ready and nicely arranged (thanks to NL) including zero balances, itemized statements and receipts of payment etc, then scheduled my face interview.(applied for medical visa this time) FF to today, 7am interview at Lagos. VO: Good morning We: Good morning VO: Purpose of travel? DH: Medical. DW and I are expecting our 4th baby and would like to have the baby in the US for a second time. VO: Did you say second time? We: Yes VO: So, you have had a baby previously in the US? We: Yes, our third baby VO: when was the date of birth? DH: 2016 Me: No,... June 2015 VO: In your last interview in 2014, you were asked if you were going to seek medical care in the US and you said NO, is that right? We: Yes, but at that time we weren't seeking medical treatment and we were not pregnant. (told the truth like I did at the POE) VO: Okay..... Types oh..... VO: what was your budget at the last childbirth DH: $7k for d delivery proper but over $11k total (excluding accommodation which was free) VO: what's the budget for this delivery? Me: a little above $15k including accommodation, would you like to see our budget sheet? VO: No, if I need documents, I will let you know VO: what do you do? DH: (Bleep) with special interest in (bleep) DW: (Bleep)... at (bleep) VO: Okay, your visa has been approved..... Bla bla bla Join me in thanking God for his mercies and for allowing the VO see through my truthfulness, innocence and openness. It really does pay to be truthful and open. All glory to God and thanks to you all. Not even one document sighted or asked for. 29 Likes 1 Share |

semilore12: Flight arrived Doha at 11:30 pm at night. Decided to pay $55 for access to use the lounge, instead of paying around $160 for the airport hotel. The lounge was ok,the only draw back with the lounge use is that it doesn't have sleeping arrangements (bed) but you can use the couch, you only have access to food,drinks and shower. But I later found out the following day from some fellow naijas that we came from Lagos together that were also going to the us,that they spent the night is a quite room available at the airport for free. |

Hello Everyone, Pls can someone explain the whole notarisation process. DH will not be here when LO arrives and I understand I need his consent to process US Passport for baby. Also, with VOA do I still need to process a Nigerian passport here or will the US passport suffice? 1 Like |
