Hello,I have a friend who has a 10 year Visa. She is from Jamaica. She is pregnant and is coming over to have the baby here in in the U.S. I believe you can only stay for 6 months at a time on this Visa. Is this correct? When her 6 months is up, can she return to the country with the baby who will be a United States citizen?
Hello! Thank you for using Just Answer. I'm happy to answer your immigration questions, and will do my best to do so based on my expertise. Please note that while you are working with me, I also will be working with several other customers, so you may experience delays. Your questions WILL be answered in the order they are received; therefore, please be patient as we work through your questions.The visa only gives her permission to travel to the US, it does not allow her to enter. The officer allows her to enter or not. And when the officer gives her this permission, it can be for UP TO 6 months at a time. But they also can only give her 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 months. Also, the officer is not required to grant her entry when she comes to the US. If he believes she is coming to the US just to have the baby, and he does not feel this is appropriate or does not want to grant her entry, he does not have to. As far as your second question, it depends on a few things, including if the father is a US citizen and custody agreements. This is an answer that a family attorney can answer, based on your specific circumstances.I hope I have answered your questions. Please click one of ratings below to let me know how I've helped.

Just to reiterate. You are saying upon her entry at a U.S. airport, they can send her back to Jamaica if they see fit?
