Just in: Trump imposes visa ban on pregnant women coming to deliver in US
For Nigerians and other African pregnant socialites wishing to travel to United States of America (USA) to deliver their baby so that their new born will automatically become US citizen, it’s all over today, Thursday, January 23, 2020.
Why? The Donald Trump administration today, introduced new visa restrictions aimed at restricting a practice known as “birth tourism.” That refers to cases when women travel to the United States to give birth so their children can have U.S. citizenship.
Otherwise, the Trump administration on Thursday published new visa rules aimed at restricting “birth tourism,” in which women travel to the U.S. to give birth so their children can have a coveted U.S. passport.
Details of the new rule showed that applicants will be denied tourist visas if they are determined by consular officers to be coming to the U.S. primarily to give birth, according to the rules in the Federal Register.
Business Hilights gathered that the State Department “does not believe that visiting the United States for the primary purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for a child, by giving birth in the United States — an activity commonly referred to as ‘birth tourism’ — is a legitimate activity for pleasure or of a recreational nature,” according to the new rules, which take effect Friday, Janurary 24, 2020.
