Just found out my fiance's 20 year old daughter is pregnant, what do we need to do before the interview in Manila on June 10th

Is this something that might affect the visa being approved?

Please help with any advice

Thanks

Ken

this will have nothing to do with a visa approval or not. why would you think?

As the child won;t be born by the time the visa comes around, it should not affect the case. However, as she is pegnant she may not be able to do parts of the medical (vaccinations especially); these will need to be done before AOS in the USA.

Whoa!! He's talking about his fiancee's DAUGHTER, not his fiancee!

Is the daughter coming on a K2? I would think this could be a BIG problem! The K2 doesn't cover grandchildren (even if unborn), does it? Even if you get past that - does the father of the baby have to give permission for his unborn child to leave the country?

Stuff to ponder here...

if her daughter is on a K2 petition, she will have to undergo the medical exam at st lukes. during the medical exam, she will need to do the pregnancy test. if they find out she is pregnant, this could pose a problem for her .

Please. An unborn child does not need a visa... period.

I am not sure how it works in the PI but for parental rights begin the person needs be a parent. For a person to be a parent then a child must have been born.

Ok, that makes sense. Sounds like timing is everything then. The daughter needs to get the K2 and get herself into the US before her baby is born.

That's funny about paternal rights because some states begin enforcing child support against an unmarried father while the mother is still pregnant.

Yes she is under a K2 visa and she is about 2 months pregnant and our interview is scheduled for June 10th, does anyone know if I have to right a letter or something saying that it is okay for her to still come or something like that?

That is interesting... what state or states would that be? Considering the woman (in most states that allow terminations at least) has the sole "right" to terminate a pregnancy without the father's consent

I really don't see this as an obstacle for getting her K2 visa. I think the main question would be about cost of medical care and such, but if it's not an issue then I really don't think that there's anything to worry about.

California, for one. If the pregnant mother is collecting public assistance, the state can require her to get a support judgment against the father in order to reimburse the state. I know one person this has happened to. He didn't even know he'd fathered a child!

Not only can a woman terminate the pregnancy without the father's consent, she can choose NOT to terminate, and the father has no say in the matter, and will still be subject to support payments. Funny how the law works, sometimes.

When the child is born in the US the said child is a US citizen so no worries there BUT it depends on how far along she is, some airlines wont let a preg woman fly when she is close to her due date. What this will effect is if she cant fly then the baby is born in the Phils then she will be stuck there. I am not sure if a k2 will cover grand children...Heck at 20 years old I say cut her lose and let her find her own way in life. You know that you will be responsable for her childs birth...we just had a baby and after all the bills came in it was close to $24,000.

K-2 is already a derivative visa... there is not such thing as a derivative derivative visa ..... maybe a K-2.5 visa?
