Good day everyone and congrats to those that have had their babies and congrats in advance to those yet to.

Pls i have an issue. What is the consequence of my baby's ssn being used for us tax refunds by an host and how can one cancel so there wont be a re-occurrence. Thanks in advance

Beautyaddy:


There are no present consequences as long as you continue to allow the host use your baby's SSN to file tax.

The only way you can stop that host to stop using your baby's SSN to file tax is to tell the host to stop using it and if they don't stop you might as well have to call the US IRS office and get the person reported.

As in!!!!!

The fear of identity fraud did not even allow me to request for a SSN. I ticked the box that said that I am not requesting one at this time through the hospital from the state. My address stated in the US is trusted but these things can even get intercepted.

No one can steal a SSN that does not exist abi? (Hopefully the process for applying for one is rigorous enough)...

Funny enough, the tax returns they get from claiming people’s children is not been much. Max of $1K I think. I have only one child, but didn’t even get the full amount. And with Trump’s new tax rules, they have started scrutinizing peoples tax returns like mad.

I belong to a Mommy group on Facebook and I’ve heard some people said that IRS have contacted them to submit evidence that the children they’re claiming on their tax returns are their biological children or direct dependents. They have to submit birth certificates, doctors letters and papers to the IRS to allow the IRS verify them. Imagine, having to prove that your kids are yours! All because of greedy people who claim their cousins, nephew, nieces or even their neighbors kids during tax time for a bigger refund that’s not even worth it.

It’s illegal and a crime to claim that a child lives in your house and that they’re your dependents on your tax forms, when indeed they’re not.

Beautyaddy:


You're right...but some people have been doing it until either they get caught or reported to IRS.

It is not a thing I would advice even my worst enemy to fall victim of or be caught doing.

Hello All, I'm new to nairaland so following up on all the conversations has been overwhelming. I'm currently in the U.S to have my baby. I applied for drop box (b1/b2) and got my visa in January. travelled late Feb at about 32wks. At POE I was sent to secondary inspection and the stamped a May 1st return date which is approx 1 week after my EDD. They asked if i told them at the interview that i was coming to give birth, i said no, didnt have an interview. They seem shocked at first and had never heard of drop box. I'm sure I can't travel with a 1 week old newborn. I'm really confused. my original return trip is mid May. Pls I need your urgent advice. Thanks.

Good morning House,
Please has anyone issued a flight ticket with an incomplete surname before...incomplete compared to what is on the passport? Were you able to fly with it like that? How was it resolved please?

Thank you.

GFavor:
Hello Tommee, I am still in the lookout. I was told about one Omugwo mama $15/D accomodati without transport $30/D with Internet, transport, to Washington, accomodation. I am keeping this as last option because the place is very far from Henrico.

Please seniors, any accomodation in Henrico will be appreciated.

tommee:


@Gfavor,

wow this accommodation issue no be here oo, however am seeing some cheap apartments on Airbnb website am thinking we can book and share to safe cost if you don't mind.

ozymes:
Why would you want to wait to fly? Go and cpmplain to the issuing coy to correct it

semilore12:
please is there a way to verify if the SSN is being used for this tax return. No one is to be trusted jare....

AdomMum:

Didn’t say I want to wait to fly. I have already complained and I was told I have to purchase a new ticket and ask for a refund with the “hope” to have my money refunded. So i’m asking to know if someone has been through this and that was the only way out.

GFavor:
Sure Tommee, we can share. Dont know to use pm here. If you do pls pm me we will take it from there.

Good evening Everyone , please I am here again to get more clarity on my case.
I applied last year August for birth tourism but was refused. I posted my transcript and I was told to wait till I am 5month pregnant.
I am presently not pregnant and I dont intend seeking birth tourism in US anymore because of some personal reason.
But will love to visit LA in May ending as one of my bucket list.
[b][/b]I will love to go for sight seeing, shopping and attending a Cake designing show
I like to stay for 6 weeks and return home in early July so that I can beat the summer crowd.
I have a planned Itinerary to back it up.
[b][/b]My question will I look desperate to the VO if I change from Birth tourism to pleasure?
Do I have to wait until I am pregnant again before I can reapply?
I need advice from you all.
Thanks




6weeks is alot of time ooo. Just my opinion sha. Cause those VO's their brain can shake. Especially if you're working.

iwuoahsamuels:
Good evening house,
