How can I have a baby in the US ?
We would like to travel to USA, have a baby and come back to our home country. We do
not need to settle in the US or stay in the country for any period beyond what is
absolutely necessary.
We are both non-US citizens but have previously traveled extensively within the
US and getting any sort of US visa (tourist, business, even student) will not be
a problem.
Can anyone suggest the modus-operandi that should be employed to do this. I am hoping
my child will have a secure future with a US citizenship in hand...
Help please... PRENCE

The other problem you will have is that you may not be able to travel when you are
that close to delivery. I'm sorry, but this is clearly fraudulent intent for entrance
into the US, and I don't care for the smell of it. US citizenship is not meant to be
a ticket for success, but for persons who reside in the US. You are blatantly
ignoring this, it appears. Alvena

Re: How can I have a baby in the US ?
If as you say getting any sort of visa for youself will not be a problem then why not do that instead of just going to the US to give birth.
What makes you think that your child will have a secure future with US citizenship anyway ..... actually , can anyone tell me if aquiring citizenship in the US is the same/similar as in the UK ......
1. A child born in the UK will be a British citizen if either the father or mother of the child is a British citizen.
2. A child born in the UK will be a British citizen if either the father or mother, though not a British citizen, is settled in the UK.
If the US has similar rules about obtaining citizenship then as you are not a US citizen and would not be settled but merely passing through , then any child you had would not become a USC.

Why should my taxes pay for you to have a baby in the USA then claim benefits when
your intent is to defraud the government of this country.

The Los Angeles Times had an article about this recently; apparently, it currently is
very popular with South Koreans, and there seem to be agencies specializing in
arranging such trips. It is not cheap because you will have to pay for all medical
care yourself. Other than that, the appropriate visa for this is a tourist visa,
contrary to what some people suggest, this is a valid tourist activity. That brings
up one problem, though: tourist visas are for a short time - if the new regulations
go in effect, for 30 days. Since you can't fly the last month of pregnancy, you
wouldn't have enough time. You can, of course, apply for an extension shortly before
your time expires. That should buy you enough time.
An even better approach is for the husband to get a longer-term visa to the US,
preferably even before she gets pregnant. In that case, there will be no question
about her being admitted and able to have the child in the US, and the husband's
health insurance may even cover it.
Also, many immigration inspectors may give you a hard time because you really are
bypassing immigration laws - albeit in a legit way.

You know, I would disagree with that. First, US citizenship is not meant for people
who reside in the US. There are many people who reside in the US and aren't US
citizens (yours truly, for instance). And there are many people who are US citizens
and don't reside in the US.
US citizenship merely indicates an attachment to the country - and they clearly
have this attachment, probably more so than the average "my grandparent was born
here" US citizen.
It doesn't matter whether US citizenship was meant to be a ticket for success -
because in the real world, that is exactly what it is. Even more so after Bush
started seriously trampling on the rights of non-citizens (in Guantanamo).

Re: How can I have a baby in the US ?
Although I agree with Alvena from a personal point of view, having a child in the US
on a tourist visa is not illegal. Not yet anyways.
Please make sure that
a) you have the proper insurance coverage or about $10,000-12,000 in cash (or better
yet, both insurance and money),
b) get to the US by your 6th-7th month of pregnancy
c) rent a place to live for 4-5 months,
d) deliver the baby and live here for another month or so to get child's passport,
birth certificate, etc.
There is no law that prevents or disallows tourists from having babies here.

Re: How can I have a baby in the US ?
This is the dumbest crap I've ever read. How are someone's personal taxes paying for
someone else's child to be born in the US. They are responsible for their own
child's delivery.

Re: How can I have a baby in the US ?
Dumbest crap you have ever heard? You obviously (from your screen name) are not
someone who has been a US citizen by birth. Let me enlighten you....Does this person
who wants to commit fraud going to come to a hospital in the US, put down about $3000
(or more) to deliver their baby and then walk away? I doubt it. The hospital will eat
the cost, bill Medicaid and then the money taken out of my pay check every 2 weeks
for Medicaid will pay for it. So if this is dumb, then you obviously do not have a
clue about what taxes are taken out of hard working people like me for fraudulent
acts like this.

Re: How can I have a baby in the US ?
some foreign health insurance does participate with US hospitals. So your cost can be less than you think. I have seen the bill when I had mine with some complications was 10,000$ but check and see what your insurance will pick up. On the back of the card or with a paper from wherever you acquired it ... it should state whether or not it can be used in US hospitals. Then call that number and ask what is coverage.
BTW Some US hospitals will not allow you to be admitted without money to cover cost or insurance. I had a family member run into that so he had to have the money first before they would admit him for appendicitis.

It may be hard to live where you come from and in life we are often unable to choose
where we live so in a way I understand your wish and wanting what is best for your
child. But I have to agree with Alvena. If everybody wanted to do that, imagine
millions of pregnant women flying to the US... Why should your child out of millions
of children, as a child of two, both non US citizens be privileged?
