Nigerians with U.S Visa who decided to stay put in U.S or move to Canada from U.S are the reason for what is going on. We can only blame ourselves.

ashawopikin:
you are right but you know its very hard for government to "SIMPLE" things

seunmsg:
My understanding of the part in bold is that Nigerians can no longer immigrate to the US except those that have acted as moles for the US government. Very harsh and unnecessary.

The Federal government should engage the US government diplomatically to get the restriction reversed. If Trump insist on keeping the restriction after all necessary engagements, we should consider a reciprocal decision.

Hi ,
Pls. I Applied for a tourist visa as a family with wife and my sons ages 5 and 11.I and kids were given a refusal but a final decision is still yet to be reached for my wife because are application states "under processing" and I'm confused on what's happening below is the timeline

Application Date = Nov 4th, 2019
Biometric Done = Nov 19th, 2019
Refusal Date = Jan 17th, 2019

The refusal was based on 'purpose of visit' We applied online in Nigeria and also did the biometric in Nigeria but our refusal came from Canadian Embassy in London, UK.

Pls.can gurus in the house help on out ?

This has the hallmark of tyranny all over it.The jackboots mentality of 1983-85.Fela's "BEAST OF NO BURDEN" comes to mind.

I won’t use the word force !! It was just like an advise .

rozeybid:
The second time , the VO didn’t give him enough time for explanation. DENIED. But advise him to get an Immigration lawyer to sort out the issue.

Fast forward, we got an immigration lawyer in the US and paid 2000usd , he was able to iron out lot of things legally and we were told to contact the hospital to ask for the full bill before discount .

Stephenmoka4:
Exactly, how about other US oversea territories do they have this giving birth issues and Visa hmm

lami88:
Try other countries that welcome birth tourism. Someone here mentioned chile. Chile citizens have access to enter 170 countries visa free. ( I'm quoting what was said here ni o)

Sunshine1980:
The rules are not as strict as you imagine. Once you lay down the rules, Nigerians will find ways around it. Before long folks will come on this platform to publish list of conditions not treatable in Nigeria and every visa applicant will have documents showing they have such conditions.

Sunshine1980:
Reading the policy, what I felt was that the US govt just wanted to register their dsipleasure with birth tourism and attempt to reduce the number of births by foreigners within the limits of the constitution.

TWoods:
A court challenge is very unlikely, consular officers already have wide latitude to grant or deny a visa. I don't see how you can claim discrimination in this case.

TWoods:
Not read the full rule yet (anticipate it will be out tomorrow) but it won't require the creation of a new visa category (that would be easier to challenge in court and be more difficult to implement right away. The rule will simply state that giving birth in the US is no longer a legitimate purpose for obtaining a B visa - it does not mean having a baby in the US is illegal, just that the State Department is not lawfully obligated to facilitate that purpose by giving you a visa to travel to the US.

The rule will likely give consular officers the right to deny you outright if you do not have an alternative primary reason for a visa outside going to give birth.

Frankly, anyone still thinking of having a baby in the US should reconsider their plan effective tomorrow. Likely the rule will apply to CBP as well so even if you get a visa for a legitimate reason then wait to use it until you are ready to give birth, you may risk being sent back at the border.

That's their trick


THEY SEND ONE OF YOUR OWN TO COME AND DECEIVE YOU TO BACK DOWN OR CREATE CONFUSION

azpekuliar:
If you ask me, I think he just needs this money to set himself up for the rest of his life with a career outside off football. He is not going to put up any serious defense at CAS. Word on the street is that the evidence against him is quite damning.

Juell:
Watin the fish dey gain for this attack?

flourishing247:
Do you know I've once travelled with only $200? LOL

When the lion step in the ring, every Animal calm and listen carefully.



I guess our fellow SE n SS ppl can now take a bowl for us now.




The Yoruba ppl are no coward, but the main brain of Nigeria Unity and existence.



When we demand the international community listen with kin ear.


The political brain of Nigeria has spoken.

SmartKitty:
Just delaying SSN and passport processing for a new born up to 1 year waiting time, will reduce birth tourism.
Ant it looks it's the way now for all immigrants and immigration processes, wait longer and pay more. Easy.

meolaniyi:
The fulanis can not use politics to divide us. We are yorubas before politics of APC or PDP
this is for the interest of the Yorubas and the South. I know very well that Igbos will never go against us.
most of the comments abusing Yorubas here using Igbo monikers are well known.

The average Igbo man will be happy that this security outfit stays.
the days of division in the south is gone that is why the fulanis are jittery

Vlesparza:
The constitution is the supreme law of the United States and birthright citizenship is protected under the constitution.
