The United States Mission in Nigeria has warned that visa applicants who intend to travel primarily to give birth in the US to secure citizenship for their child will be denied entry.
The Mission stated that Consular officers will scrutinize visa applications to determine the applicant's primary purpose of travel and deny visas if they suspect birth tourism.
The US Mission emphasized that using a visa to travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the US to secure citizenship for a child is not permitted, stressing that the warning is part of a broader effort to uphold immigration regulations and prevent visa misuse.
