According to a June 10, 2026 post published by the U.S. Department of State on X, the agency stated that U.S. embassies in Africa and Europe uncovered hundreds of suspected birth tourism cases involving individuals who allegedly sought visas to travel to the United States primarily to give birth.
According to the State Department, one embassy in West Africa identified a network involving more than 100 foreign nationals, while an embassy in Europe identified over 400 suspected cases linked to companies that allegedly coached visa applicants, arranged U.S. housing, and coordinated delivery plans.
The agency stated that it revoked visas connected to these operations, permanently barred several organizers from traveling to the United States, and is working to identify similar networks.
The State Department said these efforts are intended to address visa fraud and enforce U.S. visa policies regarding travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States.
