oh yea? you could'nt resist the urge to drop your own sarcastic comment abi?

just less than two pages discussion on the 'other side of the coin'/tax implications and yet you are tagging it 'boring and over flogged'.

i am sure if i had come here with detailed info on how to claim benefits/tax credits, etc or how get schloarship for your wards and not overburden them with student loans or how to get your green card via your ward even before they clock 18, you will urge me on even if i drag it for 10pages.

If u were not a guy I wld have said u have preggy hormones at its peak.... Kilode? Are u d only one talking about FACTA? What is it with u sef? Or did i quote or mention ur name? Or is it that I don't have d right to find a conversation boring and overflogged?

Is it really such a bad thing to pay taxes? At least we can see the value of the taxes. Medicaid that some of us are illegally using is a result of taxes.

Sholda woulda coulda songs hehehhehehehhehehehe

The problem with this accommodation sharing is that u guys need to have the same check in and check out date which pretty difficult.... Except u don't need to share with someone ehen that's fabulous ... But the boredom involved? Hmmm

Some posts disappeared

kindheart213:
I am in dying need for assistance and advice, i and my wife was deny a B1/B2 visa some time in April, the reasons being that we don't have family travel history together. She is presently pregnant n she is due by Nov. My elder brother lives in Houston, i just want to know how good are her chances since her condition have not changed yet and i don't know if it's advisable to pay all the Dr Fee and part payment before going to for her next interview.
I have about 4M in my acount, i don't know if that is strong enough to take care of her bills, since my brother lives in Houston, accommodation and transport won't be an issue.

Try Abuja... Go with ur burden of proof

ynkthomas:
Where is the body of the news...those are people in Immigration holding facility. A state cannot legislate on Immigration. I hope you read the news and stop making people scared jare.

I did... These immigrants don't have documents and so reason for the refusal

Adeniyitob:
I had my baby in Houston o...My flight to the US was through Newark hence the reason for my return to New jersey so I just want to use that opportunity and get the naija passport instead of visa.I used OakBend and Dr Fagbohun. Estimate of the delivery bill has been shared by T Vegas before but mine is as follows:
Dr Fagbohun- 1920( after the discount)
300( initial visit plus ultrasound)
580( for tests)
Oakbend- 2300(,vaginal delivery)
NICS Peadiatrician- 514
Brown and Associates- 79
I used pediatric centre for my baby's 2 days and 2 weeks follow on visit and they charged 108 and 96 dollars respectively.
I hope this helps.

How long did u stay in the hospital that NICS was 514 , and did u wait 2-3 days post delivery before paying?
then how many days post delivery did u pay brown and associate? .

Ur tests was 580 is it that he refused ur tests?

See what I just saw....

God help and provide for us ... Amen

Congratulations on ur successful POE

Amother4life:
You mean the hospitals in Nigeria that want cash deposits before they even attend to you? There is no hospital anywhere in Nigeria that would attend to any foreigner without adequate deposit to cover the cost of treatment . Let's stop openly encouraging people to abuse a system we have the privilege to use So others can also have access in future. It's because of abuses like these that the UK and Ireland erected road blocks to automatic citizenship by birth. Let's keep these activities strictly through private chats. There Was a POE encounter with a CBP officer referencing Nairaland during POE. It would definitely not add to our "good" reputation as a country to be openly enouranging illegality on an open forum .
OP: Please, workout a payment plan to offset whatever bill you get . It doesn't matter how long it takes to pay off but try and do the right thing . It's a WWJD moment.

I agree with the highlighted... This forum is public.... Before we use our own hands to put sand in our own garri

Forgive me I didn't know the post was long ...


This "secret Medicaid users" are just a little percentage of the majority of people here. If any


Let's not forget other country categories of people who go for birthing...

justwise:
There is such an unusual silence about this issue in this thread that can only mean that a lot of people here use Medicaid secretly but ashamed to acknowledge it openly here.

The 'bad' experiences at the POE will continue if some people keep abusing the system.

Unusual silence? Most of us are in Nigeria and this was posted in the night... And then the majority of people recently reading through this posts either just put to bed or are still pregnant..

Besides if there was secret use of medicaid I doubt we wld find helpful hints at to how to settle our bills or hints from those who went through hustles to pay back Medicaid.

And why struggle to find 10k dollars even buy at an outrageous rate in the black market just so u can use Medicaid?

And then u give birth to one child there, what about the others? If u end up facing a ban..

These red flags "bills" cause get people who are innocent denied visa.. Simply because dey bear the same name or they r related (judging from other nairaland visa threads)

I must also state that Medicaid puts pressure on people to use their services... At least from the posts I've read here...

Except they ain't on this thread but most of them sort their bills...plus those who work out a plan with d hospital to sort their while in Nigeria... Even those that get bills after they have left the US , find a way to sort their bills.... Abeg a big Kudos to these mothers and fathers

And if truly they are truly people using it secretly... It means water don pass garri, and the pressure was beyond them... Pls settle it somehow

@Modath what bank do u use then.. Don't really get ur post..

@kaakaa nothing spoil

Just have an account with internet banking so u can transfer to another bank incase one bank starts being a Gtb

[quote author=Toks07 post=35937326][/quote]Ok thanks


I have bank number 1 and 2
Oya BANK number 3

STANBIC is bank 1


Pls I need bank 2 and bank 3

sucre26:
Now it applies. It's not even up to $300 cos of d exchange rate. It's actually N60,000. Which is about $270 depending on the rate for that day

Omg gerrahia mehn ....

Ok then I need 2 or 3 atm cards ....

sucre26:
I am really porting from GTB. They have been charging me 212 to $1. But it changed to 225 yesterday . I felt like crying when I made some purchases and I saw my statement . Plus central bank is not making things easy at all with their new policy of $100 daily withdrawal, $300 ATM/POS use and $3000 monthly maximum usage. There is God ooo

$300 pos use? I thought it doesn't apply to pos

GTB shld now be called Guarantee THIEF Bank not Guarantee Trustr Bank they chopped my money when I travelled earlier this year .... The thing pain me no b small

modath:
What is so amazing about the bank is that if you have a return to make & Your card is to be credited by the store, stanbic will credit you back at same CBN rate while GTB will take 215 & give you back 197-199 ....

Thought i made a post about this bank earlier... Its thr darling of the biz forum guys...

STANBIC for president

hotmummy2015:
wow... I have been sleeping on a bicycle, and I have account there o.... *now transferring my money from gtb to Stanbic* meanwhile GTB charged 215 as at yesterday for an online transaction wicked ppl

It's byeee GTB for me o... Abeg wake up from that bicycle

ejisky:
Yea you can. Did that twice and it was accepted at POE (Chicago)

Thanks jare

MadameU:
The stanbic story is for real; Used my card for all sorts of payment including rents and wasnt getting charged extra. Though i cant say the exchange rates are the lowest one could find around cos i didnt bother checking always; make hypertension no come enter the matter.

Hahhahhaha ... Anyway so far everyone seem to talk about only STANBIC

FinanceFitness:
I can authoritatively confirm that this is true. Never mind that it is unbelievable!

Marisley:
You can open a stanbic account. Its been really paying off since i got here. Charges are 199.49/$1 on both POS and Atms but with an extra charge of N240 on atm. Mastercard is what i use.

olokings:
its actually true...

made a couple of payments as per accommodation and stuff... and they charge just over N199+ to the dollar.

STANBIC here I come

i can print my bank statement and carry along for Poe ...
