Does anyone know the full impact of this October 29 amendment on children born in the US by foreign visitors after october 29 ?

TWoods:


Poor Americans are US citizens who don’t require a visa. It’s not their responsibility to make sure you know the rules. The hospitals are not permitted to ask about your citizenship when offering you care. It’s not their fault that you’ve been exploiting a loophole all along. Besides, it isn’t punishment to deny you a visa, you can have your baby anywhere, your choice.

Beautyaddy:


Children born on US soil are still US citizens as long as their parents are not foreign diplomats.

I thought there is a place it says non citizens will havr to stay for 6 weeks before they can apply for babys docs

You people are ceeating unnecessary panic

This is a first step to modyfying the rules but as of this new drama it does not affect birthright citezenship,it affects ur grand kids if they are not born in the us or if your kids never lived in the usa for 5years of which 2 of those 5 years must be after age 14.

Go to their website and read the head of the organization did an interview and said it does not affect birthright citizenship

To abolish birthright citizenship an amendment or wxecutive order is needed

The new rules affect ur grand kids if they are born outside usa,ur kids didnt school in usa and ao dint live up to 5yra here hope this clarifies d tension!

In fact if you ever get a green card or citizenship you can transfer to your grandkids if ur kids dont meet the criteria ,as long as you have lived in the usa for 5 years

All correct except the bolded.

From a legal position, only an amendment/change passed by Congress can affect the 14th amendment provision on birthright citizenship. It is legally impossible for an executive order to change statutory/constitutional law passed by Congress.

Think about it well, do you think Trump would not have changed birthright citizenship sinceeeeee if he COULD really do so by the simple stroke of his pen? If he did, it would be an exercise in futility as there would be litigation galore and the courts will eventually overrule him.

Even the US Supreme Court (the highest court of the land) has upheld the sanctity of the 14th amendment in the past. If you have time, see and read the locus classicus case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark to understand the sanctity of birthright citizenship in the US.

Hello all,

Please what is POE like this days? JFK to be precise. What questions should one expect?

Thank you

TWoods:


The VO was right. If the average American paid $6400 for childbirth, healthcare costs would not be the massive problem it is today. My wife got a less than 30 minute non invasive procedure that did not require her to be anaesthesized two weeks ago, it cost us over $2100.

The truth is you’re paying costs usually reserved for the poor US citizens. That’s why she asked for the contact address you claimed when your son was born.

Hello read here that VOA had been stopped, went ahead to get ETC for my baby. I arrived 3 weeks ago to discover VOA is still being issued at the airport. I was so upset.

Hello All,

Please, could anyone let me know if the Visa on Arrival is still in use for infants travelling to Nigeria from the US.

If it isn't, what is the current process now? Visa or ETC. What is the typical processing time for both?

I would appreciate feedback on this, please.

Thank you.

There is no such US Immigration law for a grand parent to petition for grand kids.
