Listen I was rightfully justified for calling him a jerk because he was very disrespectful towards me on the telephone. He had no right to speak to me the way he did. And to all calling me a liar if I was such a liar why would I agree to pay off the bill. How could you lie aboutsomething if you had no knowledge of it. I don't run from bills. I am a very hard working honest individual that was not aware that the insurance did not cover the bill. If you present your insurance information and they accept it why would I think the entire bill wouldn't be covered. Simple and honest human mistake. But thank you all for your input. I will just pay the bill off in full before I travel and produce my receipt 

HI All,

I'm looking for some advise before I proceed with booking my family's vacation in August.

My husband and I decided we wanted to go on a cruise in November for his birthday and our anniversary.

We applied for our visas. During the interview process I informed the agent that I had my daughter in the US and was working for FCIB at the time and my insurance covered the birth.

He instructed that I bring the hospital receipt back for proof of payment. I only found out after I called for a receipt that my insurance did not cover the birth and I still had a bill from 2004.

I agreed to a payment plan with the hospital and have emails and receipts to prove that I'm paying off the bill.

So I forwarded those documents those emails and receipts to the embassy. Only to have the same officer call me to tell me I lied about paying the bill.

I tried to inform him that I answered him honestly and did not know that I had a bill from 13 years ago.

He denied me and my husbands visa because he said I lied during my interview.

My question is we are planning to take our three kids (one born in the US) to Orlando in August. Will I still be able to travel on my police record as we have been doing in the past.

We only applied for the Visa for the cruise which we had to cancel. The officer said he was putting notes in my file to CBP saying that I was denied my visa for lying during my interview.

I do not want to spend over 2k on tickets to be turned away for some jerk having a bad day and denying me my Visa. I plan to take all those same documents with me when we travel to prove that I am paying my bill and in good standing with the hospital.

Any input is useful.

Thanks
