cindermum:

I had a mid year break as I am a teacher and because u was applying with my mom so I used that opportunity to travel down to naija is that good enough?

ASAP please.... I wish you all the best..
But wait what will you say if asked why you went all the way to Nigeria to apply? Think about a good response to that.

Answers:
1)I am not too sure,but I think he meant strong ties in Nigeria.
2)Yes,you can reapply from Qatar alone,and if granted, your mum can also reapply from Nigeria with a copy of your visa.
3)Yes, you can use your husband's dom account in Nigeria.
4)Same document I guess,letter from your employer. Evidence to show that you are married and that your husband is staying behind etc
A very important factor I think is your reply to the question ' why give birth in America' I think your answer should be straight forward and truthful ie for dual citizenship, because they too know that's the reason why 99.9% of us make the trip. Best of luck.i hope you get it in Qatar.

Thank you soo much. I have a letter from my employer for my maternity leave, an offer letter and my contract is well
Do you think applying this month is Okay?
Considering I applied last month

Reapply in Qatar without your mum .. I honestly think you shouldn't have come to Nigeria in the first plc..
Use your husband's dorm account since it's in USD(take his pay slip as well).
Your job should also stand as a strong tie in Qatar cos that's where you live and not Nigeria + that's where your husband is as well and you won't be going with him to Yankee..
So your husband and Ur job is enough ties .. I think

Thank you soo much
Is it okay to reapply at the end of this month? Considering I applied in feb.

Hello all i am new to nairaland. my situation is.. i live and work in Qatar with DH, i travelled to nigerian to apply for a US visa with mom as i would be due in may.
my interview (Feb 15 2018) 7.15am Abuja
VO: Good morning
Me: Good morning with a smile
Vo: why would you like to travel to the US
Me: To have my first child
Vo: do you have a correspondence from the doctor
Me: yes.... gave it to her
VO: how much is your trip going to cost
Me: over 19000$ handed over the budget slip as well
Vo: do you have a bank statement
me: Handed over my bank statement, DH;sbank statement (both Qatar, Nigerian and Domiciliary)
VO: you going with your mom?
me: Yes to help with the baby
Vo: Looks at DH pay slip. is he paid in Dollars?
me: no in riyals
Vo: oh!
me: we live in Qatar
Vo: so why US then?
Me: For better health care VO cuts in but Qatar also has a good health system
Me: Yh and for the bonus of dual citizenship
Vo: Types............
sorry you do not qualify for the visa and hands the green paper
my mom wasnt asked any questions.
we were denied on the basis of 214(b): stating i do not have strong ties to (not sure if it was home country or foreign country)
Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. US law places the burden on. Nonimmigrant visitor visa applicants (B) must show that they have a foreign residence that they have no intention of abandoning and are visiting the US temporarily for business or pleasure.


i would like to reapply, at the end of this month. my question now is
1 strong ties in Qatar or in Nigeria?
2 Can i reapply from Qatar(alone without my mom for now) as traveling down to nigeria to reapply might be difficult
3 Can i use DH domiciliary account from nigeria since it is in dollars
4 what document can i use to show strong ties (i work here so does my husband, all documents to prove this i took to nigeria but the VO never requested for them)

Thank you in advance

vitrendy4eva:
Hi all. I'm new on this thread. I have a few questions pls:

My visa application was rejected at the interview today along with my mum's own. While the interviewer didn't state the reason for the rejection, pls see transcript below:

VO: So why are you going to the U.S?
Me: To have my baby there(I applied for a medical visa, mum's own was tourism)
VO: Why did you choose the U.S?
Me: I know people who have recently gone there for medical care, and from my personal research..I decided along with my husband to give birth in the U.S to access the best medical care available.
VO: What do you do for a living?
Me: I work with so so....(an American multinational by the way)
VO: Do you have a doctor's appointment and budget sheet?
Me: Yes...states doctor's name and amount in budget sheet totaling about 15,250 USD.

VO: What does your husband do for a living?
Me: He works as so and so at so and so

VO: Can I see your bank statements?
Me: Hands over bank statements(just mine since hubby transferred money to me(total amount was about $19,000 USD; also hands over hubby's treasury bill statement explaining this can be liquidated).
VO: types on her computer and says I'm sorry, but you do not qualify for a visa at this around. Not even one question was directed to my mum.

I'm really depressed, thinking of applying alone this time around.
I used a travel agency, waste of money and time.
Please can anyone advice on what to do differently this time around; thinking of applying for emergency appointment and doing it myself this time. EDD is in May.
