Please don’t take that advice and apply for Medicaid. You’ll never get another US visa.

JadeWilliam:
Which HCA did u use? Unlike HCA because they are lenient with unfunded patients so they will find u a solution. Don’t be downcast, u are not the first. With God all things are possible.

Latest information from consulate

Dear Prospective Evacuees,

If anyone is on this platform and has not registered to be evacuated, they are advised to do so immediately.

By the end of this week we will be announcing a 4th evacuation flight. All details - Destination, take-off point, cost, etc will be made known in the upcoming Public Notice.

For now, please be patient and ensure that you have done the following:

To register, pls send in the following to cgnny@nigeriahouse.com and bnura@nigeriahouse.com

- Full name
- Contact details (email, address and tel no) in Nigeria AND in the US
- Data page of valid Nigerian passport
- Copy of visa
- Copy of Return ticket (if any)
- Current location (City and State)
- Name, add and tel no of Next of Kin IN NIGERIA

As long as ALL the above are sent in, you will be duly registered and thereby be in good standing for the next Evacuation flight and will be notified immediately there is any important development.

If an Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC) is required for an infant without a Nigerian passport, or for an adult whose passport is either lost or expired, please visit our website - www.nigeriahouse.com. click on 'Consular Services', then click on 'other' in the drop-down menu and follow the instructions to apply for an ETC, indicating your wish to be on the next Evacuation flight. This will enable our officials to issue the ETC with dates corresponding with the next Evacuation flight.

In the meantime, please be patient and stay safe.����❤

Good morning house. Been awhile. Please mums who are currently in Houston, have you been able to get US passport for baby? I have a friend who gave birth in March in Houston. She has gotten birth certificate, submitted application for US passport through post office but the passport is not ready till now. When she calls, they say they are only processing passport for emergency cases (travel for family member death or injury) and as such her minor's passport does not qualify for emergency so she should be patient.

She really wants to come back home.

Any advice on what she can do? Is there anything like emergency travel document to use in place of a US passport?

Please help.

Hello house,

I am about to attend my Interview with my husband next week and I would like some advise from the house.

This is our first child and my first attempt to travel.

We got a Doctor in texas that billed us about $6k plus and sent us a letter to present at the embassy. My husband has an uncle over there in texas who will assist with accommodation. his statements ready over N8Millin and I just want to make sure everything from our end is ready before we attend the interview.

Does anyone have any sample excel sheet of costing for the baby? I heard that would be needed at the embassy too.

If anyone wouldn't mind giving me some tips. Thank you
