Marriage visa and baby

[Ontarkie 13,962]

There has been ppl who have kids to make it look like a real marriage. Once the individual is here some stick around long enough for citizenship then abandon both child and spouse and they go 100% zero contact because that child really means nothing to them.  It's not always the man that does this.

It doesn’t help the visa but it should. I’ve been separated from my son for six months due to this absurd system. 

 

Best set of luck OP 

So because I can't have children (I had a very traumatic pregnancy - my only one - with my first husband that resulted in the death of the child and the surgical removal of my reproductive organs) I should wait longer? They can only process a certain number of cases each day. For every case that's expedited, a whole bunch have to wait longer.

I have a question does a new baby or pregnancy help to get a Visa or could it be a good reason for a expedite? Has anyone experienced anything like this or does anyone know anything about it? Any feed back would be greatly appreciated! & Happy holidays!

I don't know what stage of the process you are in or if this even applies to you but if your wife is pregnant during the interview and she mentions it to the officer it MAY help with avoiding or speeding up administrative processing and getting that visa printed quick. The reason I say "it may help," is because every embassy is different, from reading reviews here, but the embassy in Djibouti for instance definitely hurried the cases of pregnant ladies over everyone else.

Hey I was pregnant  during the consular process. We got a checklist and that would’ve delayed my husbands interview by 4 months. I sent an email to the embassy for an expedite  and they approved it. In the email i mentioned that if the process would take 11 weeks after I send them what they asked for in the checklist my husband miss the delivery of our baby.

That was uncalled for. Nobody was attacking people who can't have children. It's not about you waiting longer, it's about a child in its most crucial development stage being separated from its parents. Children should take priority over adults. And I'm not planning on having a kid any time soon and after seeing so many of my friends have difficult or even normal pregnancies, I can't imagine why a woman would go through that only for immigration reasons. So yes, children should be prioritized and if that means longer wait times for childless couples, I'm fine with it. It's more important that a child is being taken care of than me being with my fiance a few weeks earlier.

Plenty of children are raised and raised well by single parents.  It is a non-issue.  The parents should have thought about the potential impacts to their children beforehand and it is something quite so devastating that it requires government intervention to expedite, maybe CPS should be involved*.

 

*I'm making a point here and not actually serious about that.  

 

My third child is on the way and during the process of our CR1 and on the way to ROC we lost several pregnancies.  It was hard and depressing, but do you know what would have been worse?  Seeing fertile myrtles who weren't even living together getting bumped ahead of us in line.  Of all the injustices that infertile couples have to endure, geez, why not just add increased immigration processing to the list, yah?
