Likely it's because it's after the fact. 

I was told it is the new standard, and that its likely its not actually listed anywhere yet, so I assume a lot of people will end up with 221g's for now.

 

Hopefully there weren't too many people with them ahead of me, I really want to get my visa before the baby gets here, moving to the US will be complicated afterward. I assume I'll have to file separate paperwork for them.

Actually it would be better dont you think to have the child in Canada with the doctor you've already seen and not have to pay out of pocket? A CRBA is easy to obtain. 

 

Also the passport page is a good idea but they would also need alternatives. Not everyone has a passport.

Definitely not. I live in a remote area with very few doctors. I have a very high risk pregnancy and if I go into labor early (which is pretty much a certainty) I'd have to first make it to the nearest hospital over an hour away, then depending on how early it is, be airlifted to a childrens hospital that's roughly a 12 hour drive away. I also run the risk of dying due to uterine rupture in that time, and having lived through a rupture once its not something I'd like to repeat.

If I'm in the US with my partner the nearest hospital that is in network for his medical is just minutes away and capable of taking care of a premature baby. It's a much safer situation for both the baby and I.

 

The CRBA also isn't that easy for us. I live no where near a consulate, and so its quite costly for both of us to travel there and rent a place to stay.

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully your visa comes in quickly.
