Re: Giving birth on visitor’s visa
No. The couple in your situation doesn’t “NEED” the government’s help. They want it. Firstly, the guy obviously is not “settled” in his career or in his legal status here in this country…yet he decided that he’s ready to be a husband. Fine. Once married…being a DOCTOR…he obviously knows all about family planning. One would think that a DOCTOR would be extra careful in getting his wife pregnant knowing their financial/legal situation.
My fiance is a doctor and as a result, I know quite a few doctors in all specialties. This DOCTOR husband is not “poor” by any means. He’s not disabled and it’s not like he’s working at a $5/hr gas menial job.
As someone already wrote before…Visitor’s visas are not given out to people if the embassy suspects that they might decide to permanently stay here. The fact that the wife got a visitor’s visa despite her husband having a GC makes me think that they have hidden their marriage from the U.S. Embassy. It makes me think that the husband doesn’t have his wife listed anywhere on his immigration paper work and the wife never reveated that she has a GC holder as a husband in the U.S. As a doctor, I don’t see any reason why the husband doesn’t have health insurance. And I also don’t see any reason why he can’t add his wife to his health insurance. The only logical explanation I can think of is that he hid the fact that he’s married and that’s why he’s CHOOSING not to add her. If you can provide another reason that explains why the DOCTOR husband isn’t adding her to his health insurance…I’m open to listening.
Why doesn’t the wife go back to her country and give birth there? B/C the husband wants to be there for the birth…and I’m sure she also wants her husband there. Again…a WANT…not a NEED.
Social services are meant for people who really need them. People who are disabled and can’t work. And people who truly don’t have the money…who’re working 70-80 hours a week and still can’t make ends meet. Heck I’ll go as far as to say that even “visitor’s” who truly face an emergency should use them (ie. an accident). But a DOCTOR’s wife who came here on a visitor’s visa and knows she’s pregnant but can’t afford to pay for birth?!! Are you kidding me?
