try calling them if you have a card in your name that you would use to pay. I didn't have a dollar card and there was too much requirements for using a proxy card and my host wasn't interested. i went to their office to finalise after placing a booking via phone call Tripletmom: 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi, please what was the reason for your 221g request? I have a 221g request also, I would love to know how your interview went please. Thank you. If you want to travel July ending you should apply asap. The reason for this is that you MAY be called for interview and getting a date can be a headache! My visa was to expire in November and I applied late September/early October. My passport was returned after like 15 days with a 221g request. This was already mid October. The closest date for interview was November 2nd and I had to be in the US by November 4 for a conference. I got the visa but missed my conference because the US embassy kept my passport for another 15days!!!!!! So please apply to renew your visa early especially if you need to travel.[/quote] |

I want the best medical care to being my baby to this World alive. VO: Have you travelled before? Me: No, I'm a kind of busy career lady. Thank God for maternity leave, that's why I'm venturing into this trip. VO: Do you have a hospital and doctor? ME: Yes, I have correspondence from Houston Northwest... and Dr. X. Dr.X gave me appointment. (I handed him the correspondence and appointment letter) VO: Giving birth in the US is very expensive ME: Yes I know, my husband and I can afford it (I handed him my budget sheet and statement, I had over x2 of my budget in my account) VO: Someone transferred a huge amount to your 3 weeks ago ME: Yes, my husband its meant for this trip.

I travelled exactly 3 weeks after I got my visa, November too.I went straight to Airport health to get fit to fly and gave it to my airline 1 hour to land at JFK, I cram all my doctor, hospital name, address, hotel name and address. Every damn thing ooo. CBP: Passport please CBP: What food do you have? ME: Ogbonno, Garri, Stock fish, Iru, Semolina, Wheat meal CBP: Here is your passport ME: Thank you. Note: I was relaxed, confident and smiling all through. I was surprised and lost, in my mind I was thinking where will they ask me the questions i read on nairaland hmmm. So I saw some naija peeps and asked them where is the place they ask questions. They said for me to be where I am, no more question. I told them they have not stamoed me in ooo. They started laughing at me. They told me to open my passport, then I saw CBP stamped me in for 6 months. WONDER. I passed the night in Newyork to rest, the next day I continued my journey to Houston on a local flight. MY MUM She went for her interview 13 days after I travelled, I already made coloured photocopy of my visa page and date page for her. I told her to go with my birth certificate too, so that they won't say she's not my mum, lol. VO: Where are you going to in the US: Mum: Houston, Texas VO: For what?

Went to birth and records to get baby birth certificate after 5 days $23 in Houston Baby SSN arrived 10 days after I gave birth Got her passport too and I went to Turkish airline office in Houston to buy baby's ticket $93. I got to the airport early to request for basinet. It was free. Paid $190 for visa on arrival time in Nigeria. I used exactly 8 weeks in the US and returned to Nigeria. I stayed in a rented apartment, it included feeding and transportation. If you need hospital, doctor, accommodation in Houston, you can send me message. I will be more than ready to give answers. God help us all. Cheers (shine teeth) 36 Likes 1 Share |

Today i was denied. A very sad and disappointing experience. Hubby and i were very confident we would get visas. Unfortunstely the blonde lady had other plans for us. I answered most of the questions because hubby was holding our 2 year old son who was fast asleep. All our documents were with me. Neatly filed. This happened in Lagos, today in the morning. We came into town from PH lastnight and were right on time for the interview. I wore my best pants and jacket, did my hair and makeup( as advised on here)lol VO: goodmorning US: goodmorning. How are you doing today? (Smiles) i passed our passports Vo. No response Vo. Where will u be going Dw. Houston texas Vo. Why? Dw. Im pregnant and will be taking my maternity leave to go have my baby ( stole this exact response from here too). Vo. Nodding. Dw. By the way i work with xxxx as yyy. However my husband will b sponsoring our trip Vo. And where do u work? Referring to hubby Dh. I work as a Bleep in xyz (a well known agency known to pay good money). My husband kept talking. I almost asked him to chill out. My feet were killing me. My killer heels werent helping. Well, he finally did. Lol Dw. I quickly chipped in. Here are our employment letters. V.o i wont be needing them V.o how long have you worked there?(looking at hubby) Dh. 12 years 5months I almost told her mine too but i decided to not let oversabi get us in trouble. V.o which hospital will u be using? Dw. oakbend medical centre and my doctor is dr F. Here is my doctors correspondence and acceptance letter. Vo no gree answer. So i offered to show her again. She declined. Vo. How much will this trip cost? Dw. Medical bill is 8k and A total of 17k for the entire trip. Would you like to see our budget sheet? Vo. Ermmmmm.... no Vo. How long will you be staying? Dw. 8weeks Vo: including you? To my husband Dh. No, my annual leave is 4weeks. so 3weeks is all i can spare. Vo. And ur son will be with you the entire 8 weeks? Dw. Yes. Although..... ( she didnt let me finish) Vo. Im sorry blah blah blah.....next thing blue paper. Paper says we dont have enough ties. *SHOCKING* MY Edd is in june, thats next month. Id love to apply for expedited interview. Perhaps ill apply alone. Hope say my husband son job and properties will be enough "ties". Roll eyes. Please my people. How do i go about this. Please im tired of reading. Dont tell me to read tvrough and search button. I hv been reading for 6 months non stop. I need someone who can pity me and tell me exactly how to go about it. I am very sad oloun. I'm trying to keep it together. 1 Like |

Ronkfash: Pretty sorry about the refusal. Though VO sent some not too positive vibes ahead already, it seems this is the type of VO who isn't down with mother and infant/toddler apart just like that, didn't even give opportunity for justification of the separation.... Just a thought though. Will suggest you have your son on the trip with you while daddy joins you later or even stay out of this entirely! |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Mamaiyanu: 6:21pm On May 08, 2018 |
Hi dear, I'm so so sorry. After two denials I can tell you I know exactly how you feel. It can be very demoralizing Your hubby is right about the ties part. Apply again normally. Then after you schedule a normal appointment click on emergency appointment. You would need an appointment letter from Dr F. Pay the 200 dollars for that. Ask him to include your edd and let him know you want to use it for expedited visa appointment. Upload the letter and all your supporting documents. You should get a response in a few days. All the best darl. You can pm me if you need any other info Ronkfash: 3 Likes |

Good evening people, please do I need a letter or correspondence from my hospital to present at the POE? I have doctor’s correspondence and acceptance letter but I didn’t communicate with the hospital I’m using at all, do I need to communicate with hospital too? |

@Omobendel that was the plan. He was to stay with me the entire 8 weeks. I told the vO that. Apparently, she didnt like the idea. |

Hello house Pls what are the chances of getting my visa renewed via Dropbox considering I didn't use the last one. Thanks |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Chuchunana: 9:16am On May 09, 2018 |
Violetdaisy: The important thing to note is that you do qualify to use the Dropbox option regardless of whether the last visa was used or not...However, the outcome is what cannot be determined or predicted here. All the best as you "apply"... |
