Yep, you're right.

The US visa officers already know that's the primary reason why most if not all decides to give birth in the US.

Me: I enquired about a hospital there but I am choosing to go to the U.S. because I have 2 friends who have used the hospital and they came recommended it highly I will rather go where I have had people recommend as to the hospital in the UK where I have not heard anyone's experience.
