Refused Entering after overstayed - Urgent help needed plsss

[squareleg 69]

Depends on the state. Mine will not allow Medicaid to cover a birth emergency or otherwise while on a b1/2 or vwp. Now if you're out of status, that's another story.

Just curious - so who paid your expense?

[squareleg 69]

OP - no chance to obtain visa unless you pay the dues. The costs are $14,000 - $48,000 in the state of New Jersey.

You can show videos of US of A to your child. Since, he/she is so young, I do not think, they are able to comprehend birthplace etc. emotions. You can help them achieve success in your country so that they can travel when they are 18-years old and will have the confidence/education/funding to travel on their own.

We did. The hospital cut us a deal by 75% if paid by discharge. Edited April 26, 2016 by Transborderwife

ok I just copied and pasting now below

1. 2011 Nov I went on an interview pregnant and I was given I 5yrs visa.

2. 2012 Jan I travelled to the United States to sea an uncle to resolve a family issue and purposely because I was hvn issues wit my husband and wanted to stay away.

3. Upon arrival I was given 2 weeks stay because dey say am pregnant which I didn't know it was a crime to travel to the states pregnant.

4. After a few days wit my uncle, I travelled by bus to see my sister in Virginia Washington. A day in Washington, I felt sick and was taken to the hospital where I was told by a doctor that I could have my baby anytime soon, I explained my immigrational situation to the doctor he she said it was soo risky to be on a plane so she gave me a letter to back dat up

5. I had my baby in early March and a few months later I applied for a passport for him to travel back home. The process of getting a passport for my son took a while because his father wasn't there and a notary letter of approval was needed, getting the letter took a while because of where it was coming from. The letter came, I got the passport in somewhere July and I got a ticket available for a August and we returned back to Ghana.

6. 3yrs later, I decided to visit the states again,and upon arrival I was denied entry, my visa was cancelled and withdrawn, I requested to speak to my husband back home on fone bt they said no one answered the call. I was asked several questions and inanswered it all, i was asked to sign a document which i was given a copy. After several hours of detaining I was given a document and I was put on a plane back home.

7. I applied for a visa with my son and daughter to enable us travel to the states and we were refused

8. I want to visit the states again with my son at least to let him know where he was born. He is 4yrs old now, he has a sister who is 2 n half years now and was born a year I returned back to Gh

So she traveled in January was given 14 days, got to the hospital 3 days before departure and could not leave since the baby could arrived anytime but did not end up given birth before March.

I don't think she will be coming to USA at all. And the excuse to show the country to her 4 year old... Naaaaah don't believe it.

That 5 years visa isn't the length of time you're allowed to stay in the US-- it's the length of time the visa is valid for. The length of time you're allowed to stay in the US is determined at the border-- B2 visas will never be given a length of more than 6 months. There is absolutely zero way that they did not explain this at the consulate when they gave you the visa. If you didn't listen, that's on you.

It isn't a crime to travel to the US pregnant, but it is a murky grey area for "birth tourism" which is probably what they were trying to avoid in your case. Also in your case, you probably had a return ticket, right? Was it by any chance for two weeks in the future? When they asked you how long you intended to stay, what did you tell them?

You also could have applied for an extension of your B2 visa stay because of the circumstances. It was more urgent that you do that than to get your baby a passport.

I don't think it's very likely you'd get another B2 visa because your first story shows that you were either purposefully abusing it or can't be assured that you won't ignore instructions again, and plus, having close ties to the US (the family you've mentioned and your US citizen son) sounds very much like you intend to move there. Your sister can petition for you now if she's a citizen (the current processing time is 13 years) and if not, your son can petition for you when he's 21 but that's just about it....

Why didn't the husband travel on the first trip "to resolve some family matters"? Why did he send his heavily pregnant wife half-way across the world alone to do something he could probably do himself or could be done by telephone?

And he wasn't there on the second trip either (although she asked to speak to him on the phone)? Again he sent his wife with two small children half-way across the world. And for the planned third trip no mention of the husband.

Or is there no husband?

At what point did it seem like a brilliant idea to travel thousands of miles when heavily pregnant, alone, with no health insurance?

I imagine the first step would be is to pay back the medical bill that was paid by Medicaid.

She said she was having issues with her husband and wanted some time away from him. I am not sure if her husband was even aware of her travel to the US in both trips.

This is all so murky. Why on earth would she take time away from him so close to her due date? And transatlantic? Surely there was somewhere closer

So she could have an American citizen child?

My thoughts exactly. Normally a woman having trouble with her husband (and I've been in that situation with my first husband) would go to her mother/sister/best friend. Especially if heavily pregnant. Somewhere close by and someone sympathetic.

But not this lady! Off she went to the USA to burden herself with more stress by getting involved in resolving family matters!

And then back to the husband and had another baby with him so obviously resolved the situation with him.

OP, I am not trying to hijack this post. I just want to know how other countries pass citizenship. @Transborderwife, do you know?

Regards.

Pretty much just the Americas, and not even all of them. It's to do with the history of the continents (Europeans coming in to Indian land, taking it, declaring themselves rightfully present, and their children the rightful inheritors of it based on their birth on the soil..... a little hard for their descendants to then "shut the door" behind them at their convenience, given the historical path it took for their own existence on these continents)

Surely not?

Winks..

[Georgia16 2,858]

So since you posted for your friend what does she have to say to the response in here?

Giving the benefit of the doubt here
