Foreign fiancee pregnant by someone else

[GregAntillian 2]

Going to try and keep this short, mainly looking for more information to see what kind of complications will arise.

 

USC male here, submitted i-129F back in Jan 2020, still in the waiting process.

 

Found out that my foreign fiancee is currently pregnant, and the child is definitely not mine.

I don't know much for details currently, as it led to a rather larger fight, as one might assume.

 

Providing we decide to move forward with our relationship and such, what kind of complications should I expect when it comes to getting approval for the K1 Visa?

 

Given the time frame of everything, unless the K1 is approved within the next 45 days or so (😂), child will not be born on US soil.

 

If we decide to continue to move forward and bring her child here, if she puts the father down on the BC, I know we would have to get a release from him to even be able to bring the child over, but what kind of things would be required on my part, short of a CRBA?

There was someone else on VJ forum who had the same circumstances - he was not the father. 

 

And a reminder - do not even think about claiming the child yours or putting your name on the birth certificate if you know it is not your child.

I tried searching but failed to find a similar circumstance, would you happen to remember the user's name, or have a link to the post?

 

No worries there, definitely didn't plan to.

Nothing for you to do.  No CRBA as there is no biological connection.

Thank you.

 

And with the K1 side of things, from what I've read, that shouldn't really be affected, correct?

I'm sure the legitimacy of the relationship could get called in to question during the interview process though.

The child can come as a K-2 with the mom with the full custody and/or fathers consent depending on the country.

Not really anything - depending on timing I-134 support needs to be higher and a K2  DS-160 would get filled out.

This situation is rare but does occur from time to time.

Thank you. Now we just need to have a conversation and see what we decide on.

Your “fiancé” cheated on you and got pregnant. And you’re sticking around ?

Is this different from adoption?

When you adopt, a new birth certificate is drafted with the names of the "new" parents.

But not so simple when it involves immigration

If you get married to a pregnant woman and the baby isn't yours, whose name goes on the birth certificate... And why wouldn't you put yours? 

 

That would be similar to not adding a spouse to a home title when you get married.
