What if child born before visa is granted?

Not without entry risks but sure..... baby will be a USC and get a US passport before departure.... baby visa problems are solved

I will keep this in mind. I really hope I don't need to rely on something so chancy though.

Being pregnant is not specifically grounds to deny entry, but CBP may intentionally restrict the length of stay on the I-94 to help ensure that the child will NOT be born in the US, and may deny entry if the pregnancy is late term. Also, because pregnancy is considered to be a medical condition, CBP may require proof that the alien has sufficient medical insurance to cover them in the event they need medical care while in the US.

Note that there's nothing specific on the forms about pregnancy. Unless they ask, I don't think it needs to be declared.

Thanks. When I googled the topic that fact didn't come up, but I wasn't looking specifically for information about Canada. I was looking for general information about entering the US if pregnant.

Yes, but it is an important distinction for the OP

How so? Can't the CBP still impose a limit on the length of stay for a Canadian, even if it's not spelled out on an I-94?

Since the I-94 is the record of when the time is to expire and they don't receive one... how will they do it? Verbally?

[canadian_wife 1,791]

They can issue Canadians I-94 and can limit their stay in the US. I have been issued an I-94 and have had my stay limited in the past.

[payxibka 10,044]

OK... but until someone accumulates 180 days of overstay there is no ban to re-entry... even if they limited her stay to 2 mos. and she stayed 3 or 4 in order to have the baby before returning....

I am not saying that there is not a risk... just playing devils' advocate here

The main issue with her giving birth there is that I have been told because I am an American citizen it is unlikely she would even be granted entry at all.

[canadian_wife 1,791]

It is certainly possible that your pregnant wife will not be granted entry into the US.

How far along are you in the visa process and when is your wife due?

The I-130 was filed end of March, we still have not got NOA2. She is due the end of November.

If a child of a USC is born abroad you must obtain its citizenship by reporting the birth abroad to the US Consulate in the country the child was born. I know first hand on this issue.

My children do not automatically qualify for U.S. citizenship because I did not live in the U.S growing up.
