U did well sharing, A lot of us here got PTA weeks before our trip cos of dollar scarcity . I trusted no one a jejely paid it to my Dom account. I withdrew it the morning of my trip. It's well
i'm in shock as I read her posts I feel like crying because with what dollar is saying now it is ridiculous o, I did the exact same thing you did o, as I collected the pta I didn't even carry it out of the bank I paid it straight into domiciliary account because I no fit shout, my mum's help was also always coming over to my house to help and we found out she was stealing from my mum that's why I no gree carry the money go house I no fit shout

goodmorning everyone. so I'm travelling today. last week was crazy, ended up buying dollars at the black market rate. haven't been able to update on this page sef, I'm behind like 5 pages.

Anyway I want to sound a warning to everyone so what happened to me won't happen to anyone else. Let's be extra careful, not after trying hard in this economy to get dollars one would now tell my kind of story. it's not your portion IJN.

I had a help that was so useful to me, she did so much that I would always sing her praises to anyone who cares to listen. For this trip I registered her for a catering course and promised to keep paying her (N25k a month plus free accomodation, feeding and personal effects as well as medicals when the need arises). I treated that girl like a sister.

long story short, this week my toddler who I'm travelling with has been sick so I've been in and out of hospital and doing all sorts, wasn't able to even follow up with bank hence having to buy dollars at black market rate. Yesterday I took him for a final checkup and other running around in preparation for my trip and she was home helping me get my things ready.

this morning her phone was switched off, I asked her why, she said it packed up, I asked her to bring it let me check what's wrong, she left and I didn't see her again. she just walked out and took a bike cos if she had carried load the estate security would have stopped her.

she left with my Dollars in her pocket. 20 minutes later I noticed she had taken the money. how she found it is beyond me, she must have really searched.

please pray for me, bought 1k now to go with and have money in an account there but still I'm not myself.

Let's be extra careful everyone please. be mindful of whos around you.

sorry

If she left anything there go through it and search her room for any names or contacts.
If you know her family then bother them.
You could offer reward for her return,
get your husband to negotiate with local people someone will know who can help.
She must be punished before she does this to another person.
As others have said someone is helping her, (some boy helping to spend money) who will later dump her.

Thanks to @mamaOO and everyone who had something encouraging to say about my ish with my host and son's SSN. I called the IRS no. and was told to call back on Monday, I would update after my call on Monday.

So let me share my birth story.. My edd was 25th of December but there was no sign of labour up to the 29th. I decided to book an appointment for 30th, I went in and was told I have to be induced that day as they were not satisfied with my baby's heart rate ( thank God I had my bags packed). The induction process started at 8pm, labor kicked in at around 10pm and my baby's heart rate was still irregular. I was put under close monitoring and different things were done to ensure his heart rate normalizes but unfortunately it didn't. After all the pain and torture I was scheduled for an emergency c-section at 5.30am on the 31st. I got into the OR at 6am and did not come out till 3pm because I was hemorrhaging, I ended up getting blood transfusion. To cut the long story short my son and I spent 2 weeks in the hospital. Now to my bill, the total came up to 41,000 usd but since I was self pay it was reduced to 15,000. I am just glad that my son and I are alive, coming to the U.S. was definitely God's way of saving us. I don't want to imagine what could have happened to us if we were in Nigeria with the complications that arose. I plan to return at the end of the month with my LO. Btw I used Henry ford hospital in Michigan.

Thank God for your life o! That must have been really scary. 2 weeks in hosp for $15k bill is very fair if u ask me. Nothing compared to healthy mummy and baby.

God bless you real good

Hello Fam, travelled via United to Houston last night and wanted to share my POE story.

Travelled at 33+ weeks and had fit to fly from my doctor. One person asked for it at the check in and I showed him but no copy was retained.

Even though flight was delayed due to catering strike at the airport, we eventually took off at midnight and flight was smooth.

Got into Houston around 8.20am their time here and headed straight to immigration. People, Houston POE was a breeze for me! It was almost unbelievable considering all I read here about pregnant women being held hostage or kidnapped.

Officer asked me when last I was in the US and I responded, asked me how long I spent, then asked what I came for and I told him childbirth. He repeated it to himself and asked how much I had with me and I told him but I also stated that I had prepaid my bills using Form A in addition to the amount I had with me. He asked for evidence and I showed him the invoice from the hospital, the email from my bank confirming payment via Form A to the hospital, telex copy of payment from my bank as well as receipt from the hospital showing I had no outstanding balance. Please note that I'm using doctoresparati and this raised absolutely no eyebrow.

The guy just carry my passport and stamped me in till September. No secondary inspection, no custom check, just chilling chopping Chinese rice and awaiting my connecting flight just because? Oluwa is involved.... grin

Please put up her photo and details as quickly as possible, even on BBM and social media.

But even if she's never found by man, God's gonna find her.
She stole money that's for the well-being of an unborn baby, she has heaped fire on her own head!

As for your loss, God will restore what she took from you, many times more.
You won't lack and you will not be stranded.

Congrats on your Form A success.

I'm also using Northside, but the Forsyth location. (Ported from Atlanta to Forsyth cos from reviews, ATL
appears tooooooo busy and all.)

I'm going the Form A route for payment too, keeping my fingers crossed.


Iphie26:
Hello House. Just wanna share my Form A story with GTB.

I applied around 19th of Feb. to pay my hospital bill at Northside Hospital in Atlanta(After several declines via mails for thee acceptance of payment via wire transfer, I finally spoke to their financial counselor on the phone who now gave me their bank details)

Bank requested for ppt,visa page, reference letter,travel ticket and the filled form A. After submitting this for almost 2 weeks nothing happened with the payment until they now liened the naira equivalent of the amount, I started following up wwith them to process and remit the money and I was told they give more preference to paymention of school fees and it's when they ve excess they process medicals.

with this news I switched over to Fidelitybank and started a fresh request and which ever comes first can go through.

To summarize, GTB debited my account last week Friday with charges amounting to 13800 and I got the Telex copy on monday after I told Fidelity Bank to stop the process in their branch.
As advised by Northside to contact them once this payment is made I started making calls and writing them mails to confirm this payment so it can be posted to my hospital account, also sent the Telex copy to them. I jus got a mail from them now confirming the payment and the posting to my account.

With form A I was able to save about 600k from my hospital bill. I still await my PTA with Fidelity Bank. They ve given me their assurance.

If you can make your payments ahead. Thanks everyone.

That girl is just an agent of wickedness and she will jam her fate soon. Don't be discouraged be strengthened. It is well with you and your family.

LadyGuinivere:

1. Nos 1 and 2 . Read back the first page of this thread.
3. That would be dependent on your pocket level and again if you are travelling with hubby to help babysit.
4. Read the thread and get a general idea of which month people travelled. Last last, u weigh ur medical history against the pregnancy travel policy of your flight .
5. Again. Dependent on your research. Some folks got all their docx ready in 2-3 weeks and left back for Naija because they were prepared. Read up on process for documentation . I'll see if I have it somewre and post for u. If not somebody may be kind enough to do so. The more u stay back , the more u pay. So your hardwork will determine.
6. You can stay with family if u want. The most important thing is that u prove u can pay for ALL your treatments.
7. Read the ist page of this thread. There's a list of hospitals/link. Get your phone loaded and start calling.
8. Go to the US embassy website for process on dropbox renewal

Wow,i want to be like you when I grow up
