@temyb

Good Day everyone.My darling wife wants my mum to come and stay with her in the USA a week to her EDD.My wife has travelled,am presently in the process of filling the ds160 for my mum.please who do I filled as the contact person.Also there is a particular section that states:DO YOU HAVE ANY IMMEDIATE RELATIVES IN THE USA,what do I have to fill since my wife is the only person in the USA.she went for childbirth.THANKS

I think all is on track, the B1/B2 covers both categories, there is no separate B2 visa, I did same and was issued B1/B2 , it is just good for clarification that you declared you are are going to birth.

Thankful11011:

You are highly favored my dear. I will suggest that you explore all other options apart from the Medicaid. It should be your very last option in fact I feel that leaving the bill unpaid is still better than the Medicaid. If the bill is left unpaid it will be sent to collection after sometime. When you go for renewal the worst is to refuse you and ask you to go pay your bills but if you take Medicaid how will you pay back? Why don't you send an email to the NIV section of the embassy stating the situation at hand and ask for their advice on the issue of Medicaid. They will likely tell you not to take it. Print out their response and take it to the financial person in the hospital. When you get there just begin to cry and roll you know Naija style now? Just make sure you form very well for them. Ask them to even discharge the children since you won't be able to pay and you don't want to do something illegal. I know they will definitely not discharge but you may be surprise that they may end up giving you an affordable bill on humanitarian ground since you are self paid. My one kobo it might or might not work.

Much better suggestion. I have been on this thread long enough to know that "last price" can be reduced. Negotiations have further negotiations.
It is assumed that when u go for better healthk,you are prepared for any outcome. So taking medicaid is a clear breach of that.
Thank God the babies ae doing ok now but don't be quick to take the path of least resistance. Explore every option ist.
God bless

The answer is no because that question is for relatives resident and not visiting the us.if her purpose of travelliing is to be with her daughter, then she has declared that info already.

For my mum, I used my self as contact person, my address and phone I had gotten in d state cos I had already travelled b4 her application. I stated her travel purpose as vacation n opportunity to assist me her daughter giving birth.

when u go to dia office dey will give the paper for healthy baby package u see d amount and d terms and condition(still on d highside though compared to oda hospital).It was sent to my mailbox on records like 2weeks after I was discharged. As regards d BC u will get d one from hospital but d real one is to be gotten from d birth/ death record office well its possible as long as d hospital confirm s dat d baby's record has been sent.

Hey dear,
Thank you so much for the reply. Was it the zero balance that was sent to your mailbox after two weeks? When do I go to their office is it now or after delivery to see the package the healthy baby package?
Thank you so much.

temyb:


Thank u,in fact the $150 is just for 2 weeks oooo&they are still there. Believing God for the best

Hi temyb, God is indeed your strength and I believe he will not abandon you now, this will turn out to be a story behind the birth of those miracles My suggestion is that you get someone to open a gofundme account for your babies to source for funds, it will mean taking their pictures with all d tubes and oxygen mask, the worst pictures of them that you can get and posting them for the world to see, telling the story behind their conception and how they are now fighting to stay alive (Insha Allah, I do not wish that for you). You will be amazed at how people will rise up to your aid as long as it involves babies. If you have an Instagram handle pls go and beg for funds, am sure mamas and papas here will give you our widows mite. What ever balance is left after 6months payment plan can then be paid with Medicare. Hopefully u won't even need to take it, All this will be documented and can be presented when you are ready to travel or renew your visa, who knows you may just find favour with the VO or CP as the case may be.
I just said a prayer for you, be strong cos God got your back. Cheers

Babe I don't know how u re going about urs mine total for baby hospital and icu for 10days was 67k and 11k dollars dat total of 78k.i went der I acted drama for dem both shouting and crying did it on two occasions first tym I try it came down to 14k plus last wk I went again it

@blaize you had your baby at 36weeks+ and it was a singleton right. Temyb babies came at 31/33weeks shie + they are twins so both cases are different.
@Temyb quit worrying about the bills and concentrate on your babies-these things have a way of sorting itself out. + at the end of the day it's only you that can make the decision if you want to take Medicaid or not.

@All

Sorry I have to remove those posts encouraging temyb to take Medicaid, we should not be using this thread to encourage such.

Yes it's a lot of money to pay but the way out is not leaving Americans to pick up the bill.

@temyb do all you can to get more discounts and a longer payment period as somebody suggested to you.

It's better to renegotiate the payment period after that 6 months than taking Medicaid considering the consequences.

OmoBendel24:

@LagosNIV and @AbujaNIV, I'm aware we are expected to be equal to the bills if we decide to seek medical care in the US, and that it doesn't come cheap too. If you can, be blunt sirs. Please, will touching Medicaid in this situation still get one into "trouble" even if from all calculations this couldn't have been deliberately planned out? What would have been her way out having reached this crossroad? To refuse NICU for AMERICAN CITIZENS (her children)? Is it that there's a means she has not exhausted to cut this bill down or at least get a workable payment plan? Should she just as a last resort - if she cant handle the bills right now - take the Medicaid for her children's sake and forget about visiting America subsequently or till by some stroke of fate she's enabled to pay up soonest? Is this ever explainable at the Embassy or with the CBP? At least diplomatically direct us if straight-jacket answers ain't possible, please. #Sighs #Pained

Hopefully, this post is allowed to stand!

I bite my tongue on this for now.

Noe it didnt work for me for united, paid 138k to change ticket date,when i called UA 3diff times, they all said the same thing. More flights refer you to ur agents than you know, emirates to once referred my mum back to wakanow,same scenario- its just the diff was bout 50k

Yer, KLM, airfrance and Luftansa. Bt all other airlines will attend to you. It will shock you most fares (except promo tickets) may have free date change. Then d agent will just chop youfor nothing. I'm sure of Royal air maroc and Qatar. Always read and compare ur fare conditions before buying.

We understand your approach. But please note, most hosp policies are 6mths for payment plan, esp private hosps, general/county hosps may be more lenient.

Anything above 6mths to a max of 2 years, they may approach a financial institution on your behalf and interest will start accruing after 6 months, which will be more detrimental to her eventually. Miracletwinee also suggested she should email Lagos NIV and state her case and request for advice. I second that.

Because this one pass all of us

@temyb see if you can approach charity organizations, esp catholic charities or so

nefertitiram:


I bought frm travelstart last week, had to make a few changes to my tkts, went to d airline, was able to change 3 tkt s for 10,500 each, when travelstart responded, dey gave me quote of almost 150k, I was jst laughing inside. I didn't bother responding.

To get cheaper fares, I use these agents but if I need to make changes, I go straight to the airlines. Has always worked for me, except KLM and Airfrance, I don't buy from agents.

this is a new scope now, biko which airline is this you bought from travel start and was it that additional 15k flex ticket you bought

mumnadine:
U can get 4000 dollars from ecobank d hav started selling yestday but it has to be ur month of travel and it takes 3 days to get .

What will be even more detrimental is when America remove automatic citizenship to a child born in US because of Medicaid abuse or make it even more difficult for expecting mothers to get a visa to US.

The U.K stopped the automatic citizenship route when people started abusing it and I will not be surprised if America takes the same action.


It's morally indefensible to find your way into US, have your child,get American passport, pay some bills and leave the remaining for American tax payers to pick up the pieces.

You are right though.

@justwise. You just read my mind in fact taking Medicaid should not be an option what if you get a 10yr ban and within that period there is a legislation on people that are banned never to be allowed into the US again? It sounds ridiculous but with this red head TRUMPeter winning primaries anything can happen.He has an unparallel hatred for migrants.

When I said she should leave the bill unpaid rather than take Medicaid I didn't mean she should abandon the bill what I mean is to get as much discount as possible and work out a payment option i feel even if she defaults in the payment it's still better than the Medicaid. The hospital pressing her to take the Medicaid are protecting their own interest because Medicaid is a sure means for them to get their money paid.

As for asking them to discharge the children I know the children will never be discharged until they are certified fit. I said she could say that in order to press them for more discount.even me that I pressurized my doc to do CS at 36 weeks he refused. He said the babies were in stable condition so he has no moral justification to bring them out.

I think someone here has given a very good suggestion for a #gofundme# account to be opened. I think we should start that here it's not enough for us to give suggestion let put our faith to action and begin to give. I will open the floor here with my own $100 so temyb please post your account number if oga justwise will allow. Please let's be our sisters keeper.
