Just thought I'd share the news to everyone that I found out my fiance is pregnant!!! :dance: . We did try to be careful because I wanted us to enjoy our time just together for the first 2 years before any additions, but hey - i'm still really happy. I also didn't want any complications in the process, specially with her family. Anyway, i've spoken to her family and everyone's okay with the situation and is willing to wait for the K-1 process. Still, I wish I could be with my love and our miracle. :(

Now I know this doesn't grant me any special case to expedite my petition so let's get off that subject. I do have questions though:

- Should I inform CSC of this situation? Should I write a notice/amendment to my petition and mail it? I just want to be sure just in case she has the baby before NOA2 or the interview that they're aware there's 2 people involved now in the petition.

- Should I just wait until she gets her medical exam and they find out she's pregnant? Or send the notification of her pregnancy with her packet 3 documents to Embassy in Manila?

- Is it true they will grant our baby a visa right away when my fiance gets hers? (read it somewhere here) or do I have to apply for that separately?

Thanks for any help and advice.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS :dance::dance:

Well, if everything goes well and you finally get your NOA 2 she should be able to have the baby in the US. If it takes too long, she might not be allowed to fly anymore. I don't know if your baby gets a visa right away but I don't think so since I have read about cases here where people applied for a K2 for their children.

You don't need to send anything to the CSC since in the first three months (I don't know how far along she is) anything could happen. She should just let the doctor at the medical know that she is pregnant so they don't do the X-Ray or give her some shots.

Best of luck to you, Evi

Firstly congratulations :thumbs: Read the below link for registering birth abroad. There is also seperate procedures for a baby born out of wedlock so make sure to read those. There is no visa for the baby as once registered as a USC all you need to do is apply for a passport for the child.

congratulations! I read that even though pregnancy does not mean they will issue visa sooner they will schedule anything around it to avoid having to travel around the dur date. Also we have 1 daughter and our expecting another. I had the doctor provide a letter stating i was under her care for pregnancy and when the due date was. they also included a copy of a sonogram pic. I am the american citizen and came to japan to be with my fiance and I had the baby here in japan. I was able to get her a US passport very easily. If she has the baby in her country before you are married then im not sure if the baby will get one on you behalf or not but i dont think so. If the mother is USC then its automatic. in any case I wish you the best and hope she makes it to US to have the baby. In that case yes the baby will recieve a USC status. Good luck :thumbs:

I know when completing the I129F forms it specifically said that all children claiming K2 visas must be listed on the form. You could not add them afterwards. It must be different if the father is the USC and petitioner - I would follow Aussiewench's links - she knows everything!!! I would also suggest calling USCIS for confirmation.

Michelle.....their child would not be applying for a K-2 visa as once the birth is registered the child is a USC and as with all US citizens they dont need a visa to their own country. There is no immigration process for the child.
