No need to prove anything to her. If she personally concluded you can't afford a vacation, then so be it. It's her conclusion, init. What business of hers is it anyway.

Of course there will always be beggers amongst us, no society is perfect but some still better pass some(make we talk truth) one way or the other.

America will not die if she doesn't visit. I do not subscribe to the stereotyping but we can play our parts honestly and leave the rest.

it was just funny how she automatically assumed I couldn’t afford a vacation. Like WTF?!

Beautyaddy:


I understand but she won't be the first and she won't be the last that will be bounced or denied US visa. Life Continues.

Even US Citizens are also denied visa to some Countries that they need visa to visit so yes denying of visa should not be a big deal to be taken so personal.

Exactly. Plenty of Americans are denied visas. I watch all these customs and border control TV shows and I’ve seen plenty of American and British people that were denied entry into Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US. Even ordinary crossing on foot or by car to see Niagara Falls in Canada, lots of Americans are bounced and even banned from ever coming back to Canada sef. Life goes on

Senatornuella:
To you, and not to everyone. Bounced again? Nope! I didn't bother, I carried myself to other countries and spent my money there. After all na money I wan spend and still came back to my sweet country where I make the money to travel to yours. Honestly, you all need a vacation so that body go stop to pepper una. Ooops I forgot, u cannot afford the vacation. The bills will crush you and spoil your credit.

Lmao. And look at me trying to be nice to you. Who can’t afford vacation? Me? Leemaho! In Broda Shaggy Voice The weed you’re smoking is top grade Go read through my posts and figure out if I can afford a vacation or not.

Take your L in peace. Leave America alone. When you were birthing your kids, you had no issues with them. You got denied a visa we no go hear word. Comot for here Aunty!

If all the people you surround yourself with whenever you visit America are those who live from hand to mouth, it says a lot about you too. Show me your friends and I’ll show you who you are. Birds of the same feather flock together.

Some of you love throwing fallacies about how every Nigerian in America is suffering. If only you knew otherwise. If you ever get your visa back, and you’re ever in the West Coast of the United States, holler at me. All bills on me. Then you’ll know life is Gucci for me and my family.

overlord77:
Hi

Throughout the period she(@senatornuella) had her four kids, America was all that. Now that they'd probably bounced her (assuming it's the reason for the rant), America is shit. Such hypocrisy.

If only some people can harness and channel such negative energies into our national grid, maybe just maybe we would have had up to 20MegaWatts of power to run the nation

Leemaho They probably bounced her again. She was bounced in 2018. But honestly, that thing can pain ehn

Beautyaddy:


Where are you calling from?...That might be why it's not connecting you to at least someone to speak to.

There’s a special number she has to call and she has to press some shortcuts to get connected to an agent. I forgot what the number was. It should be somewhere online with instructions on what numbers to press to get an agent.

Senatornuella:
Omo las las ehn we go dey alright, Americans in a bid to show that Nigerians are bad, they are exposing themselves and showing that they are not as high tech as they v made people think. I read through pages and at first I was angered by some statements and mentality that Nigerians are the worst people on earth and I suddenly realised that a lazy man will complain of his tools and that people will normal fight those they think they are stronger than. Someone saying go and tell VO this and see whether bla bla bla. Omo highest you say you no give me visa and Omo person no go die ooo. Nothing thrills me about the America and this whole issue about discount and address on birth certificate is actually annoying, because America should be concerned about its own house than outsiders. Watch it oo, fall is inemittent.Before I travelled to the US I thought it was everything but now I know better. Nothing dey there oo. The economy bleeds their citizens that these people can hardly find time for leisure. No wonder they beef Nigerians. Nigeria sweet die, make una carry una country go o. If you dont want people giving birth in your country abolish it. Nigeria no good, e no good but daily you carry our money in billions under the guise of visa fees, shut your borders and see how u survive. You people should look within yourselves and solve your issues and stop giving Nigeria a bad name to kill us. If fraud happens in your country then you are not world best as you claim. (Kini big deal) I love my country die and I no go lie. I born for una country na because I like to and una allow am, so stop beefing. I don't intend to apply for visa to your country so don't bother. I will choose to travel to Dubai 20times before I choose America. When my children grow up, they can decide whether I made a good choice for them until then, make una carry go.

Where is this coming from? I searched this thread up and down to see if there was something I’m missing (maybe you were replying to someone) but I couldn’t find anything. Is there something we’re missing?

But omo, forget oo. America sweet die, if money dey. Same as Naija, if you don’t have money and think Naija is sweet, you’re sleeping on an Okada.

Hello MamaOO,

If your flight from the UK leaves on the day you arrive or before midnight on the day after you arrive, i.e. within 24 hours AND you have a valid US visa, or in your case, a green card,are travelling to or from the US, you can very well transit without a visa.

When I went to have my baby in 2016, I transited through London, and, although I had a valid UK Visa, I did ask the CBP officer if he would have let me through if I didn't have a visa and he replied in the affirmative. He did say that as long as I had a valid ticket going to the US, I could go into London. He however added that it is at the discretion of the officer but more often than not, they will let you through.

A few mamas have shared their experience here about being allowed into London (they aren't GC holders like you, and do not live in the US) so I don't think you will have a problem.

https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/nigeria/transit/somewhere_else/yes

Thanks a lot Fyorgyn. My husband told me the same thing you said. When he transited through London years ago as a Green Card holder, they let him through without a visa. He actually told me not to get a visa but I didn’t want to be the reason my whole family is stuck at the airport since the letting you through customs and entering the UK with a GC is at the discretion of the officer. And we’re gonna be leaving the airport area entirely. Lol

Good Morning. I have a question and I’d be really glad if someone could help me. I already asked on the UK visa thread but no response and I figured moms on this thread might have an idea.
My family and I have an upcoming trip and we’re gonna be transiting through London Heathrow on long layovers so we decided to explore London for a while before our next flight. Husband and kids are US citizens, I’m a GC holder.

My question is:
1. I decided to apply for a 6 month visa even though I read on the UK.gov website that I might be eligible for Visitor in Transit visa or some other kinds of waiver as a US GC holder. Both legs of our trips are about a month apart so I decided to apply for a visa to stall unforeseen situations. Is that the way to go?

2. While filling out my application online, I got to a point where I was asked to fill in the travel documents for my dependents and family who will be accompanying me. I filled my husband’s passport details but my boys’ passports hasn’t come in the mail yet. Do I need to include them in my application even if they’re not gonna be needing visas? I ask because it can take up to 4 weeks to get their passport back and I need about 3 weeks to get my visa (to be on the safe side.). Our trip is near and it takes the UK Visa office in LA about 3 weeks to process visas

Please help! I apologize for the long story. Just trying to be as concise as possible

Wow. Thanks. Is Cerave available in stores?

That, I don’t know sis. Maybe check the reputable stores wherever you live.. (Lagos?) I found it online on Jumia and Jiji and some other stores so I’m assuming it should be available at those big stores or shoprite

Rbae:




Sebabmed for babies is very scarce o....me sef tire

Try Cerave. Someone told me about it and it’s literarily changed my kids’ skin overnight. They both have extremely dry skin and my older one has really dry patches behind his knees and inside his elbow due to atopic dermatitis/eczema. I used to use a steroid cream for those areas and he will flare up every so often, but ever since I started using Cerave, I have completely stopped the steroid cream and his skin is so smooth! Even the baby has clear, smooth skin with zero blemishes.

Go back and ask her if they covered it in full or partially.

Here’s the screenshot of a current one for you to see for yourself. All insurances have policy limits. So far you’ve not reached your policy limit which in this case is $250K per year, your expenses are covered 100% after a deductible or copay has been has been paid. The hospital admittance fee in this case is $50. Then all other covered services are paid totally.

pelumsie:
Go back and ask her if they covered it in full or partially.

FULL, FULL,FULL. It was through Cigna. My roommate had a myomectomy on the same insurance and it was covered 100%

Vlesparza:


This is incorrect. In terms of revenue (If this is the loophole you are referring to because no one is paying for their bills), international patients pay the same (actually a little more) than Medicaid and most insurance companies. Also, there is less paperwork since the payment is upfront and the patient is only seen for a fraction of the time of a US Resident goes to prenatal care. Im not sure who you are referring to is paying their discount because no one is paying us.

Please stop lying! Like someone said, I understand your position on this since this is your source of income but saying self pay patients pay more than Medicaid patients is absofuckenlutely incorrect.

Tell that lie to Nigerians who don’t know what’s up. I worked and still work for a healthcare insurance company that also insures Medicaid and Medicare patients and if not that I will run afoul of HIPAA laws, I would have pulled some claims data real quick and uploaded screenshots here. To let you know how much Medicaid pays for childbirth and associated expenses.

Nope! Self pay patients pay farrrrr less than what insurance pays hospitals and doctors. I had a baby a few months too, I know how much I paid out of pocket and how much my insurance was billed and how much they eventually paid. And I have top notch insurance, Anthem Blue Cross to be precise.

So, please get your facts straight and right.

Vlesparza:


I agree it's very funny. More so, for the fact that with the price quote she got she can still travel (by plane) to El Paso, have it done and go back to Maryland, and it would still make economic sense. This is not adding the fact that they do not specialize in international patients and her total bill after delivery will most probably look very different from the ones she’s been quoted.

We try to post as often as possible because we later see all the hard aches that could have been avoided (as this seems to be another). If the help is not appreciated (which in this case helps save them $4600), the post can simply be ignored or possibly someone else can read it, so they are informed and do not make the same mistake. Regardless, I appreciate your concern.

Story for the gods! So you’re meaning to tell me there’s no way she can get the procedure done in the entire state of MARYLAND that she has to fly all the way to El Paso, TX? Spend $1000+ on a plane ride to come and do the procedure for $250? Dear lord, make it make sense!!!

You must think you’re conversing with fools the way you blatantly toot your horn on this thread. Smfdh

And just because you bought ads doesn’t give you no right to be obnoxious. And you are being obnoxious to the max! But do I blame you? No.

Vlesparza:


The ad has been up on every page of the travel section of this forum for several years now. Thank you.

Yeah the ad has been up there for years. But the blatant advert is just so unnecessary. Imagine someone asking for circumcision in Maryland. Maryland oh! And you’re quoting to give her prices in Texas and not even Houston or Dallas, El Paso! Que??!

So she’s supposed to travel from Maryland to circumcise her son in Texas? This is actually very funny.

pelumsie:
What exactly did the refusal say?

first thing...she should email her international student office. And narrate everything. They can issue a fresh I-20 and she can reapply. She also needs to email the health services office of the university and ask them to write a letter saying they processed the insurance for her. As an international student, you get a “plan” which is not full insurance. It has limits. Dollar limit and I doubt full cost of delivery and labor is involved. If the Sch clinic truly processed the insurance on her behalf then they should take responsibility. If allyou stated is true and she gets the school involved, she has a good chance of approval upon reapplying. Note you can’t appeal the initial decision so it is a fresh application. Also as advised, find a US lawyer to advise better.




.

The bolder is wrong! Very very very wrong. Student insurance is not limited and covers quite a lot, including CHILDBIRTH. My friend had a baby on student insurance in 2013 and her childbirth was covered. The insurance she had through the school was Cigna

naijatisumi:
I'm so down right now...House please forgive my typo error

Dear All,

Please i need sincere clarification and response

Two years (2017) ago my wife travel to the STATE with an F1 visa, but when she got there she realized she was 2 month pregnant tho she was menstruating and all. Anyway she got registered in the school and became the best in her department even with the pregnancy and all school fees payment was duly paid.

In between she registered for Insurance and medicare as a student through the school to deliver our baby,doing this period she has to chill out a semester so as to have the baby as such she has a semester left but her VISA will expired next week.

Anyway i advise her to come back to Nigeria so as to renew her VISA then go back to finish the last semester and make the family proud. She schedule her interview and eventually got the white paper after enough drilling and all but the VO requested for the medical invoice which she replied she's not with the invoice. She was then told to mail it over to there office at ISOLO.

Since there was no payment made as the insurance covered for the payment we sent a mail to the hospital from Nigeria and they provided the medical invoice but stated it was all covered by ALAMEDA medical and we submitted same at DHL, to my surprise today when i went to DHL for the passport i saw a blue paper. sincerely i almost POO on my body, i read through and realised she has been denied. Sincerely i need advise as am blank right now. I advise her to come over to renew her VISA in Nigeria while she insist i should allow her finish her MSC programme before. Sincerely i'm so sad and sick right now.

Please house what can be done, we got another detailed invoice from the hospital today with the amount the insurance company paid for the medicare. I dont know if another VISA fee should be paid and she should go for another interview or is there a way we can go pay the medical fee and then reschedule another interview as i just want her to finish her MSC and come back home. Please note we paid all school fees totaling over 35000$

I'm so sad and down right now...I just need advise please house

Didn’t her school offer medical insurance to international students? Why did she use Medicaid? If my memory serves me right, Alameda Medical is one of California’s Managed Care Plans (MCPs) funded by the CA State Government (aka Medicaid)

I wasn’t going to say anything but
Lol how is that rude , next time you too should at least have researched to an extent then or even a bit because a simple google search would have told you Canada is one of the countries that offer citizenship by birth(Now you know better) , before coming to say certain things in public forums.
After you’ve said wrong things and they come for you then you start covering up by at least we learn everyday . SMH ��‍♀️ . Just accept you said the wrong thing initially but you know better now

Isn’t the post you quoted from 2013, or are my eyes not working correctly??

OmoBendel24:


Almost 4 months still, e plenty na! Is this for birthing or for what ma? After secondary inspection/examination I believe.

I don’t even know. I believe it’s for birthing cos the admission stamp said “B2”. And I’m pretty sure it’s after secondary inspection. Something must have triggered it.

Beautyaddy:


lol!...This is not just happening under Trump's administration though.

We should remember that it's already in the US immigration laws that the US CBP admits foreigner at their discretion...which could be from one week, one month and not necessary 6 months.

Yes, the no AOS thing is just happening. I have never seen that clause on anyone’s visa before. I’ve heard about the no EOS but no AOS? Nah.

Someone just sent me this. The US Government isn’t playing!

chloe00:
the people I know are with Total and it’s two weeks here two weeks there , sometimes they even do Lagos to Newcastle, so I believe it’s possible for him to say he flies almost every week, almost every week can be bi-monthly.

Lagos to Newcastle is good sis. That’s about 7 hits give or take. LOS - IAH is around 13-14 hours. Why?

dere5:


Fly every week from Nigeria to Houston? Na watin him dey find abi Na which kind work he dey do?

Na exhaustion go kill that person. On top Wetin Na? I used to work a job that was a round trip of 2.5 hours every single day. I resigned after a year and a half when exhaustion wanted to kill my enemy.

TWoods:


I fly in and out of Houston almost on a weekly basis, it’s a breeze if you’re honest. God will not see anyone through if they have obtained a visa through fraudulent means or are willfully choosing to abuse their visa.

Fly within the US or international?

hello house,

please can a 37 weeks pregnant mum fly to Canada from Nigeria, if yes what airline can you suggest, and what needs to be put in place, please your urgent advise is needed.

37 weeks?! You’re playing with Fire oo. That’s way too advanced for that kind of long journey. It’s risky sef. At 37 weeks pregnant I couldn’t sit more than two hours straight without getting awful cramps and my feet swell up.

BOmum:
Please anyone with hospital and doctor contact in California should help me o..Tried doing a DIY but these are the kind of quotes i am getting o

That’s Cedars Sinai, the hospital is very expensive (that’s where all the celebrities... the Kardashians and all the Hollywood people birth).

Look for another doctor and hospital

olamie:




You can opt in for a private insurance I was on insurance and my total out-of-pocket was $6,500, despite the fact that my baby was in the NICU for 7 weeks.

I renewed my visa and no issue was raised around the fact that i got insured, they were only concerned about me fulfilling my part of the contract.

I hope it helps.

Recipe for disaster. Because you were able to renew your visa with insurance doesn’t mean it’s gonna be the same story for others. VOs frown at insurance, I guess you just got lucky.
