K1 Visa for Pregnant Applicant

[Cc_Bb 1]

Hi, guys! I hope you all doing fine. I need help about K1 Visa. I am almost 3 months pregnant, My boyfriend wants me to give birth at his place in the US and we are both in research on how to apply for K1 Visa. Is there an option to expedite the process for the visa since I am pregnant or would that be enough reason to expedite our application?

There are reasons USCIS will expedite, but pregnancy is not one of them.

You will not get a visa to the US in that timeline.

Agreed....pregnancy is not considered a reason for expedite. There would be a lot more pregnant fiancees if it sped up the process.

Does your fiance have the means to pay for the birth in the US?

In almost all situations it is preferable to give birth in the country you currently reside.  You two need to think this through a little better.

This will not be a reason to expedite. Your lifestyle choices or poor planning (whichever is the case here) are not a priority for USCIS, I'm sorry to say. For every case that's expedited, everyone else that was waiting in line ahead of that case is pushed back one space. 

 

Why do you feel the need to give birth in the USA? If it's for citizenship of the child, under most circumstances the child will be a USC anyway (even if born overseas) because a parent is a USC. There are a few exceptions but generally speaking that is the case. The medical facilities in Kuwait are world class, as you probably know. I have several friends who work in healthcare professions who are ex pats in Kuwait and the hospital facilities there have always impressed them.

Hi, JFH It is not that important to me to give birth in the US it is my boyfriend who wanted to. thank you for your response anyway

you also need to know the airlines have restrictions on at what stage of pregnancy a woman can fly and it varies with the airline

delivery in the US is sexpensive and he would be paying out of pocket as there would be small chance you too could marry and he could get u on his insurance

sorry for all this

but good luck and congratulations on the baby

Why would it be better to give birth in her Country. It would be better to give birth here with her Fiancé and the child would automatically be a US citizen by birth. Maybe the should have filed earlier but I don't think it would be better if her and the child will live here, sounds like more of a headache to give birth there.

The fiance is a USC, so unless they have lived most of their life abroad, the child would be a USC by birth anyway.

Ok so I'm confused now. So if my brother goes over to say......Africa and gets a girl pregnant and the African girl has the child in Africa..... the child is a US citizen?
