"It is unacceptable for foreign parents to use a U.S. tourist visa with the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States to secure citizenship for the child."
This is the message from the American Embassy to Albanian citizens, who are urged to "not misuse tourist visas and not travel to give birth in the US," writes A2.
"It is unacceptable for foreign parents to use a U.S. tourist visa with the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States to secure citizenship for the child, which may include medical care expenses covered by U.S. taxpayers. This is known as "birth tourism," and U.S. consular officers deny all such visa applications under U.S. immigration law. Those who abuse our immigration system through birth tourism may lose their eligibility for future visas or travel to the United States. This is yet another way the U.S. Department of State is serving and protecting American taxpayers and communities," the U.S. Embassy wrote on social media. (A2 Televizion)
