I moved here about 2 years ago from Scotland and got married to my wife (US Citizen). Been married for 2 years. I currently have no status (immigration wise) So I have not done anything with immigration yet due to the cost of it all. I was going to file the papers at the end of next month. Yesterday my wife told me she was pregnant so does this change anything? What forms do I need to file? I have tried to find answers in the forums but no luck lol please help much appreciated thanks.

I don't think you need to file anything else just because she is pregnant! The only thing is that when you file for the 10-year-green card, your wife will have to meet a higher than 125% of the poverty level income. That is what I am thinking, since it is based on the number of people in the household, but they wouldn't count that until the baby is born I don't think! :) And actually you will probably even get the 10 year green card right away, since you've already been here for two years, if there are no issues with your case... so you can probably forget what I said about the poverty level income...

You should definitely finally file for AOS though! You might need a co-sponsor though as it would be your wife who would have to support you since she is the USC...

Hope this helps! (And anyone reading feel free to correct me if I am wrong on something, please!)

It does not change anything. Congratulations!

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Since the child will be born a USC, the USCIS is simply is not involved....

YMMV

The cost will unfortunately be even higher now that the new immigration fees took effect in July of 2007. $1010 for Adjustment of Status. Nothing extra to file immigration wise due to the pregnancy.

Congrats on the baby! Good luck,
