2 pink lines & K-1 Questions

After finding out that my fiancée and I are expecting our first child together (her first child ever), I've started looking into other similar situations by searching through the forums a little. I do understand that being pregnant doesn't speed up the process, but will provide evidence of an on-going relationship to a point. With visa processing times running around 5 months at present, the race to try and get everything submitted and approved before the 7 month mark will be very tight. If unsuccessful, we'll have to deliver in the Philippines. Gary or Pushbrk, could you give some insight on what I'll have to do?

1. Will our child have U.S. citizenship by birthright since I'm a USC and the father?

2. Obviously, I'll put none for children for her on the I-129F since she's only about a month into the pregnancy. But what about after the baby's born?

Everything I've read so far doesn't indicate that there will be a problem for the application. But I am concerned that they could deny at the interview based upon saying that she doesn't have any children. I am also aware that she'll have to delay some portions of the medical exam, such as x-rays and some vaccinations that would harm the baby if they're needed. She'll also be getting a letter from her doctor to confirm the pregnancy. I almost feel like I'm not covering something here, but that's what these forums are for. Help?!?

Congratulations! You will have to find out the procedure at the Manila consulate for registering the birth of a child abroad. Yes, you are correct, since you are a USC your child has claim to American citizenship through you. Best wishes!

FAQ

Q. What if my Fiance is pregnant and this is not disclosed on the approved petition?

A. Visa processing can continue in this case if the consular officer obtains a statement indicating awareness of the pregnancy and the desire to proceed with the marriage.

Congrats! >< I read a few regarding this because most probably if i'm pregnanat, I will give birth here in PI.

so pls check out one of the sites I found -- http://www.ehow.com/how_5359612_apply-crba-passport-born-philippines.html

You would report the birth abroad and file the CRBA (consular report of birth abroad) at the Manila embassy so that the child can obtain a US passport.

If the child is born prior to the interview then your household size for the Affidavit of Support goes up by 1.

Thanks for the info. Luckily, my income is sufficient to exceed the support guidelines. I did find where it said that I would need the notarized letter for the consul stating that I'm aware of the pregnancy and that I plan on going forward with the marriage. However, if possible I would like to be present at the interview. Would I still need this letter? I'm thinking that it certainly couldn't hurt to have it anyway.
