A Nigerian woman, Anabella Omene, has shared her devastating experience of being deported from the United States after arriving at the airport, despite having a valid visa.
Anabella had traveled to the US with the intention of giving birth to her child, hoping to secure American citizenship for her baby.
According to Anabella, she had applied for a US visa when she was two months pregnant and had been granted one after a successful interview.
However, upon arrival at the US airport, she was restricted from entering the country, and her visa was revoked.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.
