my wife is outside the US and fiance visa not approved yet

[Shay1 7]

I am a US citizen, and I got married in a different country. My wife is a citizen of that country. I applied for a fiance visa to bring her to the US but it was not approved yet, I also asked to expedite the process and that was denied. She is now pregnant and is due in July, and I want her to come here before her last trimester. What can I do to get her to come here before April? Can I apply for advance parole for her? I know that if I apply for AOS for her it will start a new process and that might take even longer, so what is the fastest way for her to come here. She cant get a tourist visa in her country. Please help!!

I really really hope you didn’t mean fiancée visa and meant the spouse visa. You absolutely will get the K1 denied as she is no longer a fiancé but rather a spouse. Consider going to her for the birth. You need to file for the spousal visa ASAP. Your wait time will start all over again. I am so sorry. Also, there is  no AOS for a spousal visa. I suggest looking at the guides on this site before another timely and costly mistake is made in your process.

Since you got married, you will need to start over with a spousal petition, as she is no longer eligible for a fiance visa.

 

If you mean April 2022, that's not going to happen.   

 

I don't think you understand what advance parole is.

 

Even if she could get a tourist visa, it would not be legal for her to travel here on that with the plan to adjust status.  That is FRAUD.

 

Unfortunately, your only option is to refile a petition for a spouse visa.  

 

It will take a couple of years, not months.  If time is a big deal, consider moving to her country.

Well, the thing is we only married religiously not legally through the state. So does that mean that she is still eligible for the fiance visa?

She is not eligible for a fiancée visa.  You two are “too married” to qualify. 
 

Get a married legally and file I-130.  Do this before your child is born.  If you have 5 years of physical presence in the USA (at least 2 years after age 14) before your child is born, then your child will be born a USA citizen and you then file for a CRBA and passport for your child at the consulate.  
 

 Otherwise file I-130 when your child is born. 
 

Cancel K-1 process that you’ve started.

It doesn't matter. It still disqualifies you for a fiance visa.

No.

this is the important part of your Post  

"I am a US citizen, and I got married in a different country. My wife is a citizen "

 

married is married 

and many of us in the US marry in a religious ceremony

 

get your marriage registered in her country and apply for the spouse visa

Not a chance

Hopefully you got a marriage certificate that you can use to file an I130 ASAP

What country is this?

Apparently they all left the US, got married in a religious ceremony and decided to file for a K1.  So the now USC spouse must have naturalized between January 23, 2022 and now.

Welp, in another thread you were the wife on a tourist visa, asking about how to apply for your daughters, and now you’re the husband. Who are you? Are you the pregnant husband? Mmmm The miracles of science!

Anywho, the ship for the K1 has sailed. Your only option is the CR-1

Could very well be someone charging for immigration advice and coming here to get some ideas for free.
