【US Immigration Hot Topic News】According to a comprehensive report by the US-based China Press, in the early hours of October 8, a China Airlines flight from Bali to Los Angeles saw a Taiwanese pregnant woman suddenly go into labor six hours after takeoff, giving birth to a baby girl. For a time, the nationality of this baby girl became the focus of public attention.

The United States is a nation of immigrants, and diversity is its primary characteristic. Currently, the United States follows the "jus soli" (birthright citizenship) principle in its nationality system. Anyone born in the United States automatically acquires US citizenship and enjoys corresponding benefits.
The United States applies the birthright principle to the determination of nationality for babies born in the air. The open nationality policy of the United States also applies to babies born in the air (or on ships). Even if neither parent is a US citizen, the baby still acquires US citizenship in the following two scenarios:
1. A baby born on a US airline, meaning the pregnant woman is on a flight operated by a US airline and gives birth on the plane, regardless of which country the plane is flying over;
2. A baby born in the airspace of the United States, meaning the pregnant woman is on a flight operated by another country that is passing through the United States and gives birth while in US airspace.
【Summary】Although the baby girl acquired US citizenship, this extreme method is not advisable, as any slight negligence could cause harm or pose a threat to the lives of both mother and child. How can one obtain a US immigration green card or US citizenship? The EB-5 investment immigration program is highly popular due to its simple application requirements and short processing cycles.
