Allybert: House, please can a permanent resident be approved for Medicaid? I am in Texas and I already applied for medicaid for my wife after an emergency visit to the hospital when she was having some pains below her abdomen and the bills already arrived in the mail.. it is approximately 3200.00usd... We`ve got CHIP and STAR benefits. But a social worker informed us that those does not cover emergency visits to the hospital and also that we are not qualify for Medicaid. So I am confused as to what to do now. Has the social worker misinformed us or what? Please I need a quick advise from whoever have been through this before. Thanks

Hello , please what eventually happened ? We're u given the Medicaid?

Pls house I want to confirm if airlines provide temporary hotel accomodation during stopovers. The emirate I want to book has a stop over of about 19 hours in Dubai and I will be with 2 kids. If there won't be hotel I might have 2 change the flight because of the kids. Pls kindly advice.

I am not going to LA I'm going to Boston. But you can easily check on their website @ www.flyemirate.com. It's quite simple. The price will depend on your day of departure. From what I've seen so far, emirate is quite cheaper than other airlines.

I think they provide accommodation for passengers whose flights have long stop overs. U can contact their Nigeria office to confirm. The phone no is ön their website. Alternatively, you can go for other options with 8hrs or less than 2hrs stop over

I also think they do, my stopover was for 9 hours and they gave me meal voucher , though I asked late, they may have given me a hotel too. Ask before you buy, especially as you have children, it's a long wait.

Can someone that booked a return ticket and travelled on the '1st leg' of the journey get a refund if he/she does not want to embark on the 'return leg'? If yes, what are the steps to follow for emirates airline and what percentage of the fare would be refunded?

I don't think you can unless it's a full cost ticket.

@auschris you can get a full refund on the return leg of ur ticket if ticket is refundable. Basically the way we calculate it is if the cost of a one way ticket is higher than the return ticket u have then automatically u might not get a refund value for your ticket so basically, I'd advise u get consultation before u purchase any ticket. Thanks

Hello my people in the house. I recently collected my visa and travel documents and I intend to travel to Atlanta by month end. Please I need some counselling from my experienced people in the house.
1. The final destination address on the cover page of my travel envelop has my name on it instead of the name of the occupant of the residence as I filled in my forms. Is this an issue?
2. What is the fairest route and airline I can take to Atlanta.
3. Which option is better. Agent or self booking online?
4. Anything I should acquire here in Nigeria before travelling? Like documents, skills or...
5. What is the fate of a Bsc holder in Human Anatomy
6. Anybody in the house staying in Atlanta that a brother can relate with? Pls let's hook up
7. How much is a one bedroom apartment over there
8. Is it true that a simple haircut can cost up to 30 dollars? Are you kidding me!
9. ............Anything I shud know please
My people please help a brother out. Relocating to America no be vacation trip to Obudu Cattle Ranch o. I no for like dull myself one minute.

Good evening house! My name is Chibuikem a DV 2013 winner, and just discovered this thread yesterday. I want to say a big thank you to everyone for all the information that has been freely given on here, God go butter una bread till infinity in Jesus' name.

Reading all these comments has really stirred up something in me, the passion that we feel and drive that we have to succeed as Nigerians no matter what, is commendable. Shun say we dey find greener pastures, almost nothing compares to the Naija spirit!

My interview is on Wednesday 7am, I have no fear but strong belief that God has done it already. I want to encourage everyone who is also yet to be interviewed to be confident, God don do am.

Does anyone know if something can be done about this situation? I submitted those DS forms last year and I got married this year in April. Is there any chance whatsoever that my wife could be included in this visa? If there is, how could I go about it?

Your suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks

@auschris like I said earlier,n it depends on the value of the NUC of ur ticket. If the value is less the actual price of a one way ticket then u might get some refund back another point is refunds might not be applicable to taxes on ur ticket so u need to probably check with ur agent to know if you ticket is refundable, or if it's also refundable after depature(thats getting the refund value of the unused sector)

I believe you should have sent copies of your marriage certificate and any other relevant documents to them immediately you got married. Since your interview has already been scheduled for Wednesday,I doubt inclusion is possible now.
It is ,most times stated clearly that , any change of status after you have been selected, should immediately be made known to the Visa Center, as you did not intimate them in this case, I don't really know what they will say now, maybe its best you finish your own application succeesfuly before you say anything about being married. Others here should give their opinion
