flag U.S. denies tourist visas to those seeking birth in America for citizenship, targeting birth tourism.

flag The U.S. Embassy in India has announced that tourist visas will be denied if consular officers determine the primary purpose of travel is to give birth in the U.S. to secure citizenship for the child, reinforcing a policy aimed at curbing birth tourism. flag This move aligns with the Trump administration’s broader effort to end birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, though a related executive order remains blocked by courts and is pending review by the Supreme Court. flag Officials emphasize that visas are for temporary purposes like tourism or business, not childbirth for citizenship. flag The policy reflects increased scrutiny of visa applicants, particularly from countries like India, and is part of wider immigration enforcement measures, including expanded digital vetting and rescheduled visa interviews.
