Fiance Pregnant, Please help!

This adds alot of stress to your situation but now that you are in it, you both had better settle down and

just be happy. Everything will be okay. I just did some finger counting on the months and she's going to have that baby there so you best prepare for that. Even if she did get the Visa a month before giving birth, the airlines would likely not let her fly. Sorry for your stress. I hope everything goes well for you but keep a cool head. That's the most important and I too say enjoy your family !

This is true. Most airlines won't let a pregnant woman fly in the last trimester without permission from a doctor, and often won't let them fly in the last month of pregnancy at all.

Kelly, I recommend you look into the process for filing a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) in Manila. Your child has a claim to US citizenship and will not be eligible for a visa. You have to get a US passport for the child. They sometimes ask for a paternity test in the case where the US citizen is the father and the child is born out of wedlock.

I'm not sure what the rules are the Philippines, but most countries require an exit visa issued by the host country for foreign citizens who have no record of entry, which would apply to a child born in the country. It's usually easier to get a native passport in that case. In other words, get a Philippine passport for the child, as well. The child would be leaving the Philippines as a Philippine citizen and entering the US as a US citizen.

Who should you tell? Your folks, her folks as they are going to be grand-parents!! USCIS for sure doesn't care.

Congrats!

Congrats on the pregnancy!, Ongoing evidence submitted at the consulate, see the VJ guides. Wishing you Good Luck. You can't rush this stuff, it will have to run its course.

Congratulations, lovely Christmas present!

I just want to point out a potential delay. Like it or not Philippines is a high fraud country and when it comes to the interview they may look at your relationship timeline and the quick pregnancy, delay issuing the visa till the child's birth and request a DNA test. I don't know for sure but I think this is fairly standard procedure for children born before marriage.

Don't want to cause any upset just pointing out a potential delay.

Congratulation!

As said, there is no expedite for pregnancy. What you can do is to be really well-prepared. Spend time on this forum and educate yourself about the process, so you have the required documents in timely manner.

Totally unlikely. Read up on the US Embassy Manila they are not difficult.

I think when you are pregnant they do that math for the household size including the baby when it comes to the 125% math.

Not unless the baby is born. If the interview is before the birth the baby does not count in family size. Affidavits are "present tense" documents and assume nothing in the future. It is likely the family size will increase by 1 before they do the AOS, though
