What happens if my Fiance is pregnant?

[wilfon 30]

What happens if my Fiance is pregnant? I have just sent in our I-129f application after coming back to the US two weeks earlier. One of my questions is, will they count the unborn baby as an additional family member? I want to be prepared if they will require me to be in the next level for the financial support.

Thanks in advance for your help.

They only count a baby who has been born before the interview.

I think you are required to inform consulate that you know this issue and will be still willing to continue the VISA application, maybe you want to inform the department in the US too. if the child is borned before interview, the child will have K2 visa.

I do not believe a visa can be issued to a child that has a claim to US citizenship.

The child is not borned in the US, he will not be a US citizen automatically. If two parents are from different countries, the child will be able to choose his nationality when he is 18. I know this works when the child is borned in the US, BUT I dont know about other countries, we all know they might have different policy. In this case, even if the child is borned in the US, he can still choose not to be a US citizen because of his parents's nationalities.

That is incorrect. In this circumstance the US citizen parent will file a CRBA Consular Report of Birth Abroad at the embassy where the child is born to obtain a US passport for the child. The child cannot be issued a visa.

Exactly, you still have file the form and wait for approval, this means he is not citizen automatically, but he or at that time, his parents can decide whether they want to file the form. The petitioner must presented at the consulate and have the required DNA exams done which can take a long time.

So all depend on parents' decision

The child is a US citizen when born. If the parents want to bring the child to the US it is done with a US passport. No visa can be issued to a person with claims to US citizenship.

What happens if my Fiance is pregnant?

Well, first of all, she gives birth within 9 months. Congrats!

Beware that some won't let a pregnant woman(depending on how far along she is) fly/board a plane. You'll have to time that one, just keep it in mind. You'll need a CRBA if the kiddo is born overseas. Since the kid has claim to US citizenship(assuming you're the father), then they're not eligible for a visa.

Child born before interview: Add to household size, get CRBA

Child born after interview, before POE: get CRBA

Regardless, it's a extra dependant when it comes to AOS.

Anh Map is correct. You seem to be miss-informed about CRBA and when/ how a baby is a US citizen, may want to read our CRBA forum for a bit: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/154-consular-reports-of-birth-abroad-crba/
