Giving birth outside U.S on greencard (merged)

Hey everyone!

 

So last June 2017 I arrived in the U.S on a K1 visa, and got married. It's been 7 months now since both! And now I am pregnant.

I don't have my greencard currently but my case updated to 'Case Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview' so I should get my greencard in the next couple months max.

I was wondering whether there is a way, once I have my greencard, to go back home to England and give birth, and come back to the U.S? Or would I need a visa for my child by then?

Would your child not be a USC becausse of the child's father?

In is not advisable to post the same question in multiple forumns

 

What are the chances the child's father is a USC?

I thought so, but I'm just unsure as to what will happen. I mean I'd like to be with my family when I give birth and I'm familiar places is all. I just didn't know whether it would then be awkward after birth trying to come back in my greencard with a child?

Child will need a CRBA from the US Embassy and then a US passport if the child has a claim to US citizenship from the father.

Do you know how we'd go about doing that? My husband is a U.S citizen.

Go to the US Embassy website for London and they should have the process online for you to follow

No problems for the child, who will do CRBA and get a US passport.
Could be an issue for you, depending on how long you stay out of the USA.

I'll have my greencard, which allows me to go in and out of the U.S as I please. (U.S is where I live and will live, just purely going to England to give birth so I can be with family and in familiar surroundings) I'm not planning on going until I am just about ready to pop, and before it's too risky to fly.
