Tourist Having birth in US...?
Answer:
First, a US visa is for entry only. It allows the holder to travel to the US and ask to enter; the length of time they are allowed to stay is determined by CBP at the point of arrival. Since the visa is only for entry, even if it expires the holder could still be "legal" and will be until the length of stay allowed by CBP expires. The visa holder could arrive on the last day that the visa is valid and could still be allowed to stay for six months. Thus the fact that a visa expires has nothing to do with whether or not the person has overstayed.
Second, giving birth in the US is not illegal. Visas might even be issued to women who are known to be pregnant but who have severe health problems and must deliver in the US to assure that baby and mother survive. A requirement of this type of visa is evidence that the parents can and will pay all bills associated with the birth, plus a lot of other documentation about her condition and the willingness of a US medical specialist to treat her. Most children born under these circumstances return with their mothers to her own country and grow up there as dual citizens (US plus whatever she is).
As for permission for a visitor to stay longer than the initial entry allows, this can be requested for any number of reasons through a form I-539. If approved, it extends the deadline by which the person must leave the US. These are frequently granted for - for example - people who are assisting American citizen family members who are having personal or medical problems; they are also granted if the visa holder had a traffic accident are is hospitalized, and there are many, many other reasons that the extension might be granted. The request for extension of stay must be requested before the initial period expires.
Those are the rules that apply in general in such a situation. As for whether, in a particular case, an extension of stay will be granted depends on the individual situation.
Those illegal people who desire to remain in our country know exactly what to do and will use any means possible to make it happen. Wake up America and see what's happening.
If one was to give birth while on a tourist visa it may be possible to extend it. If ones visa is expired then one is already illegally here aren't they? - so obviously there are limitations and laws regarding this. But checking with the immigration department that issued the visa would give one a better idea and answers about this situation.
However if one would like their infant child to be a registered citizen of their own country - they could go through their countries embassy to do so.
This is a tricky question. First more than likely if the kid is born here he could derive citizenship under " Jus Soli". As far as extending the stay, it might be possible.
I dont have enough information to give you a good answer. Mu advise is contact the closest immigration office an explain the situation. Now if it already expired then it might be too late. Like I said I dont have enough info.
If the visitor status is expired, no. They can't extend.
If the visitor status is not expired, they MIGHT be able to get it approved if they can convice USCIS they plan to remain in the US temporarily (only for another 6 months).
The child is a US citizen but can't confer any benefits on the parent (until s/he turns 21 at which time s/he can file a permanent residency petition).
