Fortunately or unfortunately, republican is sweeping the congress in the mid term election. American blacks are all leaving the democrat plantation.

Ruthina000:
Birthing is another revenue channel for USA and I don't think it would take effect anytime soon, just hoping though.

Phakabir06:
.Kenny MKO. Please my wife interview is Jan 11. I want to know what we will write where they asked reasons of been denied . Should we write that the vo said she did not qualified for the visa she applied for or what else can we write. And the hospital said na till like next month ending or December before we can get doctors correspondence for January appointment.

Akorkor:


Yes, you will prepare it yourself and if you use a search button on nairaland by typing
budget sheet and navigate to travel you should see many sample that has been dropped here for DO IT YOURSELF PURPOSE.

All the best

Fyorgyn:
Is he stripping citizenship from those who have it? Or is he stopping "jus soli" going forward?

cutelass:


You people can panic shaa. Nobody is stripping anybody of anything. It's not done anywhere, Britain didnt do it, nor Ireland. Whatever decision they finally take, is 'going forward' in fact, Britain had an interval of 14 months between passing the law and enforcing it.

However, one thing is sure...it's gonna get to their supreme court this time around and having looked at that law (the 14th ammendment), one phrase stands out..'subject to the jurisdiction thereof'. Seems to me like something that can be interpreted to favour any side.

drakeli:


What about the billions of dollars America is losing paying for child birth of South Americans Mexicans and others illegally crossing the border for the same child birth purpose. Considering also child birth from other countries that end up not being paid for. The government loses more than it gains on birth tourism. Hence why Trump doesn’t care.

Fyorgyn:


Hehehe...

I'm really not panicking... I was actually responding to a picture someone posted earlier.

How are you? And how is Baby?

KennyMKO:


No that's not what I meant. Before you can be allowed in to be interviewed, you need to show evidence of Visa payment, DS 160 confirmation and appointment confirmation. If you are called for a follow-up interview, they usually give you options of date to choose from on your profile. The appointment option they provided for me was for just one person(me), so I thought that will suffice for my family because the letter says we should come as a family. Only to get there for my family to be denied entrance into the interview arena. I don't want any other people going as a family to make the same assumption I made.

Beautyaddy:


Yes, anything that needs the Amendment of the US Constitution need 2/3 of the US congress votes.

If Trump tries to do it by executive order it will be taken to court by the immigrant advocacy groups and challenged.

Beautyaddy:


lol!...why are you going along with the unnecessary panic news?

He can't change the Constitution unilaterally...he needs Congress to do it.

MamaOO:

What I meant was that, if there is no legal justification or constitutional backing as to why a CBP officer sends a woman back to her country and does so simply out of spite because she’s come to give birth, some people might/can sue and could possibly win. People sue the government here and win. You know that. Nothing is impossible in the court of law. And you I believe the CBP officers are also bound by law to be fair and just in what they do.

Hmmmm, if he eventually does, everyone will face Canada na, shuoo.

KennyMKO:
Guess you have forgotten how the thing goes, the high risk pregnancy was the first childbirth. It was vacation we wanna go for that she was denied and that same day my own drop box was approved. The vo saw all previous receipts and was satisfied. She was just 2months pregnant and the vo asked if she is having more babies in the states in the future. Which she answered yes. I guessed because all of us going at the same time with the Americans. Seems she is talking about ties. Now she will be going for childbirth proper. Using the same hospital we used in the previous birth. The first visa she used was b1/b2. That time I was doing my masters and wanted to come for my convocation but had accident and she used it after one year 3 months for childbirth. Though the change of intent was there, and she didn't even do dropbox, she scheduled an interview directly.

It depends on the reason they gave for the denial. I remember she told the VO it's a high risk pregnancy. That's a red flag. With that you need to show that you have enough fund to foot bill of a high risk pregnancy especially if the cost skyrockets. You also need to get Dr's appointment/ correspondence before you go for the interview again. My personal opinion please. Good luck bro. See you in January if you are Texas-bound.

overlord77:


Hmmmm, if he eventually does, everyone will face Canada na, shuoo.

ttmacoy:
The problem with that is when people focus on Canada then the numbers will rise exponentially which will in turn increase the public's support for doing the same thing in canada. The conservatives have already proposed it and it's already a controversial subject.

Look at Canada reaction to people including Nigerians crossing the border from the US despite all their mouth. Didn't they quickly start closing the loophole and asked the US to restrict visas to Nigerians?

Tvegas:


I also hope this decision drags for some years, so that many people can benefit. However, lets quit this talk of revenue generated by America via birth tourism. America and especially Trump doesnt need our money, if they stop it today it will only pinch their economy. We only need to find the formula to make Nigeria work, if everyone keeps rejecting us where are we going to end up? For example South Africans are not crazy about this birthing thing because theyve found a way to make their country work.!!

drakeli:


People don’t realize that US spends more on birth than it gets. I just stumbled on that in the news. That’s how much the government spends on a category of tourism childbirth. The estimate below does not include foreigners on visa. Just Mexicans and others. That’s how much it cost annually to pay for their childbirth by the government.

overlord77:


Bro, FoxNews is conservative propaganda network and only say things favourable to Trump.

Veeii1:
Any El paso bound mum for march april willing to share an apartment?

Plus who has gone thru POE in the past few days

MamaOO:
Hey everybody, quick question. Are adults eligible to use the visa on arrival option for a Nigerian visa? And after sending the email and all the works, how long does it take to get a response? I think I read it somewhere here that they give a response of “Received” after you send the email. Lastly, do we have to make the payment before getting the approval or after approval?

Thanks a lot.
