The United States Mission in Nigeria has issued a strong warning to Nigerians seeking to travel to the US primarily to give birth in order to secure American citizenship for their children.
In a post on its official handle on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), the US Mission reiterated that using a visa for childbirth purposes is a violation of US immigration policy.
“Using your visa to travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States so that your child will have U.S. citizenship is not permitted,” the statement read.
