From being stressed out last night because of a problem, worrying wether my fiance's mother having put her in a Canada petition 2 yrs ago...( her mom is seeking political assylum in Canada) to finding out this morning .....my baby is PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....WOW, this will surely be a process i will never forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would have been better if you married here before she got pregnant because then your insurance could have coverred her, not it will be preexisting condition. The K-3 process got my wife here in 5 months.

The Canada issue shouldnt be a problem.

Congratulations

I think most insurance companies don't count pregnancy as a pre-existing condition.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Hmmm Congratulations!!! Wondering....can sonograms and pregnancy testing be used as evidence of a RELATIONSHIP??? Now THATS proof of meeing in person in the last 2 years.... WOW

Had to get that one in there.....but definete proof of meeting... They want everything else..why not...

Hola Byron!!

Congratulations!!!! WOW...you sure on a WILD roller coaster ride!!!! Are you having fun?

Now that your baby is PREGNANT....have you thought about where the baby will be born?

Since this event is not covered on any insurance plan, it might be less expensive for her to have the baby in Colombia. But, that means leaving her in Bogota until the birth...and for some time afterwards. Or, if she comes to the US before the birth of the baby...the costs of having a baby here are really pretty expensive....and it will all be coming out of your pocket. That...plus the costs of your wedding, Immigration petition for Leidy, Examinations for Immigration, Maternity visits to the doctors in Bogota, administration of the needed shots/vaccinations for your fiance to come on the K1 Visa, etc.

I agree with the person who posted..."should have gotten married first." But, now that is another matter.

Also, have you thought about the fact that...well, I think you have lots of things to think about. Final thing...I think you need not worry about what your future mother-in-law is doing in Canada. You are applying to bring YOUR fiance to the USA for marriage. If you are asked for information, give it. But, don't volunteer it. (As an aside...it could be brought up by USCIS that it appears that "Her Family/Leidy" are attempting to leave Colombia by all possible means...possibly raising a red flag. Just a thought.)

Sincere Best Wishes, Think positive thoughts

Thanks everybody for the good wishes....im hoping that the process goes by faster then the pregnancy so that i could put her in my insurance...if im not mistaken, the whole process takes 6-7 months but she might arrive here before then...we'll have o wait and see..but i am extremely excited!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I hope your case gets processed quickly so you'll have all your options open.

Hi Byron,
Even if you get your GF/Fiancee' to the USA...AND if you marry her before the baby is born...you health insurance will NOT cover any event or "pre-existing condition." Insurance companies are not in the practice or business of providing coverage for "retroactive" events. Think of it this way...you are not going to get automobile insurance to cover an accident that you had last month with your car.

Insurance companies are not interested in "buying a claim" that for sure must be paid. Once she is your wife and added to your health insurance plan and you begin paying additional premium for her coverages...then claims after that will be paid according to the terms of the policy. For example, if a person has diabetes as a "pre-existing condition," they are not going to get coverage for their insulin. Diabetes will be excluded. However, if the same person is injured in an automobile accident, those injuries would be covered. Consequently, if your (then) wife gets pregnant AFTER you are married for your second child...then, you will have coverage for maternity.

Sincerely...and many good wishes!!! I am very happy for you.

Wow, that's definately being a roller coaster ride.
Congratulations on becoming a daddy and mommy!!!
Hope everything will run smoothly for you both.

Well Byron, at least your life is not and will not be boring for a while. LOL. Good luck to you. The only real problem that I can think of with having a baby on the way is that one day he or she will grow up to be a teenager. LOL.

...Lets not rush the teenage thing right now!!!!!!!! LOL......but really , thank you all for all your good wishes and evrything you have done to help me through these begining stages of this process!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!

My insurance has a 6 month pre-exsisting clause. So 6 months after you are enrolled in the plan, they will cover whatever the situation warrants. I am not sure what your plan will or will not cover, but, it would be wise for you to find out before she arrives.

i beg to differ sir, what kind of health insurance do u have that wont cover this kind of change in insurance coverage for a person

ymmv,

f

I wasnt really concerned with the whole insurance thing. Someone brought it up and it took a life of its own. Now if she could be hefre and we could get married and her name added to my insurance then it would be much better. I live in Manhattan and i have Lenox Hill hospital three blocks away, so it would be nice!!!!!!!

Spending energy worrying about insurance issues is a waste of energy if you ask me, I'm sure everything will work out just fine! Congrats on becoming a daddy! Just enjoy the ride!
