Despite possessing a legal visa, the woman described her heartbreaking experience of being deported from the United States after landing at the airport.
Anabella Omene, a Nigerian woman, had come to the United States to give birth in the hopes of obtaining U.S. citizenship for her unborn child.
When Anabella was two months pregnant, she filed for a US visa, which she was given following a successful interview, she said.
However, upon arrival at the US airport, she was restricted from entering the country, and her visa was revoked.
Anabella recounted her ordeal in a video posted on TikTok, stating that she was rushed to the hospital in Houston after falling into labor due to the stress of being denied entry.
After recovering slightly, she was put on the next available flight and deported back to Nigeria.
The Nigerian woman expressed her disappointment and frustration, stating that it would have been better if her visa application had been denied outright rather than being granted and then revoked upon arrival.
Anabella also shared that she had previously lost a child and was anxious about overstressing her current pregnancy, which is why she decided to remain in Nigeria after being deported.
