sarcastic Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Yay, the hypothetical condition I imagined and mentioned in this very thread has become real!!!!! So, the question is no longer in the realm of hypothetical stuff but in the here and now. What's the nationality of this baby? Almost every country in the world, as well as the United Nations, has procedures and recommendations for how to properly classify the geographic details of an in-air birth. The United Nations considers a child born in-flight to have been born in the airplane's registered country. Some countries point to the city where the child first disembarked the plane as the place of birth, and to the airplane's registered country as the place of citizenship. Of course, citizenship and birthplace are two different topics -- citizenship is typically a larger issue and may require some paperwork, while writing a child's birthplace on a birth certificate is often a less legally significant consideration. For simplicity's sake, we'll focus here on U.S. documentation procedures, which vary from state to state and even from county to county. The state of Texas offers excellent details on how to document an in-air birth on a plane bound for Texas, even if the birth takes place over, say, Australia. Using a Texas birth certificate, you fill in the county and city of birth with the county and city where the child was first removed from the plane, and you should include a citation of where the birth shows up in the aircraft's flight log. For the location of the structure where the birth occurred (which is typically the city and county of a hospital), the county should be "In flight," and the city should be the name and flight number of the aircraft and the latitude and longitude coordinates of the point over which the child entered the world. Filing the physical birth certificate is another area that gets complicated when the birth is at high altitude. According to U.S. law, if you were looking for the birth certificate for a child born on a U.S.-registered plane (or ship), you'd have to figure out if the vessel was heading away from the United States or toward it when the birth occurred. For an outbound flight, you'd likely find the birth certificate stored at (or accessible through) the U.S. State Department. If the flight was inbound and landed somewhere in the United States after the birth, you would contact the county where the plane landed to find the record. Considerations of citizenship, like birthplace, vary depending on which governing body you contact for an answer. U.S. authorities would tell you that if a child's parents are both citizens of the United States and at least one parent has resided in the United States before the child's birth, the child is automatically a U.S. citizen regardless of the altitude of the birth. The same applies to a case in which one parent is a U.S. national and the other is a U.S. citizen who lived in the United States for at least a year before the birth. Many countries also grant automatic citizenship to a child born on a vessel that is registered to that country, so it's likely that an in-air birth could result in dual citizenship. According to British Airways, which prohibits women from traveling in the last month of pregnancy, in-air births are rare. But they do happen: The airline's Web site reports about one delivery per year onboard a British Airways flight. Crew members are trained in birthing procedures in case one of their pregnant passengers can't wait until the plane lands. Source: http://people.howstuffworks.com/air-birth.htm

[b']The United Nations considers a child born in-flight to have been born in the airplane's registered country. Sounds odd. Suppose a Chinese man and his expecting Chilean wife are flying from Delhi to New York and choose Lufthansa/KLM/BA and their kid is born in air, is the kid German/Dutch/British? Or have I made a mistake in understanding what 'airplane's registered country' implies?
Tiger80 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Here is a case of a baby born in mid air http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/10/25/toronto-air-baby.html Vibrations of ICFers are quite strong What they imagine could become reality:icflove:
Tiger80 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Baby born on Toronto-bound flight Baby born on Toronto-bound flight An EMS team arrives to take mother and daughter to hospital. Courtesy Balvinder Singh Ahuja The passenger cabin of an Air India flight to Toronto turned into a delivery room on the weekend when a baby was born at 11,000 metres. The mother and child are safe and sound and on the ground now "so happy," according to the family but there was great concern at the time. Luckily, Dr. Balvinder Singh Ahuja from Brampton, Ont., was on the same Delhi to Toronto flight as Kuljeet Kaur, her husband Ranjodh Singh Gill and their seven-year-old daughter. A pediatrician in India before moving to Canada, the doctor was returning home after a visit to India when he heard a call on the plane's loudspeaker. "They said, 'There is a patient who requires immediate medical attention, if there's any doctor or nurse on board,'" he said. "So I went back and saw this lady laying on the floor and her husband was sitting there and she was quite in pain and these air hostesses said, 'She's pregnant and she's in labour.'" He said he's attended hundreds of births, but his real expertise is with children after they've been born. In this case, he wasn't sure how much time he had before the baby would arrive. He gathered together what he thought he would need. Then he had to improvise. Scotch was used to sterilize the scissors. "I needed something to clamp the cord at the maternal site. So for that, one of the air hostesses said she's got a sewing kit. So we took threads from those needles and used those threads to tie the knot," he said. One final improvisation "the microwave in the kitchen was used to warm a blanket for the baby." After about 45 minutes of labour "the baby came out and thank God she cried very well," the doctor said. The baby girl is named Aakash Leen Kaur. Aakash means 'sky' in Hindi and she weighed in at seven pounds. After she was born, her mother and little Aakash were given an upgrade to first class and when the plane landed in Toronto about nine hours later, mother and daughter were whisked off to hospital where they are reported to be doing fine. As for the man who delivered her, he's not a licensed pediatrician in Canada. Like most foreign-trained doctors he needs to be recertified before being allowed to practice in Ontario. A few days later the doctor is still excited. "It was an awesome experience and in my 25-year professional career and in my life of 45 years I've never had so much excitement," he said. One final question remains unresolved what will the baby's nationality be? Her parents are Indian, she was born in the skies over Kazakhstan and she was heading to Canada. That conundrum will be sorted out in the days to come. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2011/10/25/toronto-air-baby.html

Tiger80 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 You mean these Vibrations ? http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showpost.php?p=1682446&postcount=76 I mean these vibrations posted on 16 september Wow! So for the desis who want Amreeki passports, etc that is the best thing to do. Get pregnant and a week before you are due go to the US for a holiday. Yay, my baby is an Amreeki!!! Will the US Govt be willing to, on humanitarian grounds, provide some kinda work visa to the father/mother to work in the USA so the baby can stay in the USA? Edit - By the way, what happens if the kid is born in the plane? I hope ICFers don't start imagining nuclear accidents
Stuge Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 quite similar to 3 idiots style lol Flight company can deny preggy woman to prevent such cases .
gs Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 quite similar to 3 idiots style lol Flight company can deny preggy woman to prevent such cases . They would invite a sure shot law suit! :--D
mishra Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 What a thread this is?.
