Status on the EAD updated to "card production" today!
Travel doc also updated, to "post decision activity."
AOS still at "acceptance" (no move to testing & interview yet).
Very, very happy - holy cow do we need the EAD with the baby in daycare!

I saw that - I'd use the same strategy - fill out the form with the name you want and see if it goes through. Also wondered whether that was actually the way he meant to say it. Either way though, it doesn't hurt to try.

Good luck!!! I am wishing you the best. Please keep us informed of your process. I am overwhelmed with happiness to think of this discrimination crumbling even to immigration.

OP - it is clear you are not happy. It doesn't matter what a catch other people think he is. You are not happy.
Are you really going to stay where you are because of the fear that there will never be a better man out there for you?
Life is beautiful. Be happy. Happiness does not require a man. They are a bonus, when they are the right one. Good men are out there. And life is wonderful regardless of whether one crosses your path.
Go make your path!
You are smart and obviously thoughtful about your personal choices. You are kind enough to see the good in others even when they hurt you. You deserve happiness.
You are not happy. Please think very carefully about spending any more of your days and hours this way.
Best of luck...

Congratulations !!!!

If all goes well during his interview, (which it will! ) I really don't think he'll get to that Thanksgiving weekend.
Stay positive, the most I've read people wait has been a week, while others had news on their visa that same day of the interview!

Time for a reality check.
You don't have a job. You want to bring her here. Instead of trying to find a way to support the both of you in the US, you would rather hang in the Philippines. That's not a great plan.
Be a grown up. Endure the separation like many other couples. Go get a job to support yourself and your future wife. Sacrifice a few months together to prepare for a lifetime together.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. IF A MAN DOESNT WANT MY KIDS DOESNT WANT ME EITHER

The only honest advice I can give you is that she follow the laws of Colombia. She may be going through immigration procedures, but she is and remains a citizen of Colombia and subject to its laws, while she remains in Colombian soil.
IMHO the situation you have is less complicated than it actually seems. I will be you that your fiancee does not want to have an abortion, otherwise she would not wait until this late in her pregnancy to run that by you. She could have had it earlier on and you would have been none the wiser. That may indicate she has been agonizing over the choice of telling you about the baby or not and despite her views on the subject, she may be pro-choice, but not for her.
In your own words,you too, are leaning towards her having the baby. The only statement you make which I believe is incorrect, is to the effect that the baby is going to have a horrible life. If you were to take your fiancee and her baby, you alone could change that reality and give this baby a home, love and a chance in life. Perhaps you can't see that possibility but there is always the possibility that you could adopt the baby and give him/her a family, rather than to place it with strangers. It doesn't need your DNA to be your son/daughter. In parenthood, the DNA part is the easiest one. It is the raising, the love, the nurturing and all that goes with it that makes you a parent.
Consider this: When you exchange vows with your bride, can you put limits on 'for better or worse'? Isn't marriage about embracing the entire package?

Never stand between a woman and her child. Either take them both, or leave them both. If you separate them (either by death or adoption), you will likely acquire all the emotional baggage that goes with it the loss. It will likely destroy your marriage, especially if she blames you for it. Men may be able to compartmentalize things, but women can't.

Ok, to summertom:
As everyone said, 6 months is way too late. So she will have to go through with having the child.
For those of you going all out 'It's murder' and getting all emotion..THANK YOU MR AND MRS OBVIOUS, but what this OP needs is advice, not for your tears and screams. As if that helped anyone.
Options I see:
1. Take longer to do the immigration process. Let her have the baby and then:
- Let her parents take care of it.
- Get the child adopted. You won't have to think of having to support it since your fiance will probably remain anonymous to the child.
2. Include the baby in the k1 process.
- Get it adopted? It'll be harder at this point.
- Keep it. Why? Because the child will be half of your fiance's and yes another man's. However it is not the child's fault and separating child and mother will suck.
Now is the time for my opinion, read if you want.
In my opinion, a man who decides he's going to forgive his fiance for sleeping around, should be man enough to deal with the repercussions of the act. Not just sweep it under the rug.
I'm a woman, but if I was a man and I was in your situation, I would let her have the child and I would take care of it as my own. Just because the father is a douchebag, doesn't mean the child is the same. The child could be one of the best things that's ever happened to you. A birth is a miraculous thing.
If you're not willing to accept the child, maybe you are not truly willing to forgive? That's just a question, not an assumption.
Assumptions suck.

I am absolutely pro-choice, but 6 months is too late. If she wanted an abortion, she should have done it months and months ago. Time to deal with the consequences.
What kind of adult takes out their hatred for another man on a child?
You have issues. The visa sounds like the least of them.

Yes! I tried using an umbrella to keep the sun off me, but it did not really help much. It was really hot and sunny. The moon pyramid is tall enough. The sun pyramid is just so damn high and the steps are steep. I do not know how the Aztecs climbed up and down all the stairs all the time. There are steps and stairs everywhere around that whole place, not just the main pyramids. They must have been really in shape people with very strong leg muscles.

No need for the letter of intent from the USC at Juarez, unless you just really want to add it. The instructions do not ask for one.
I personally ordered extra copies of my birth certificate and divorce decree so I could send those instead of just copies. I sent copies with the I-129F as well.
No need for the NOA1 or NOA2 either. Sending a full copy of the petition is useful for the beneficiary to see exactly what the CO will have in front of them. They can ask questions about anything they see in your file, so it is good to be prepared that way.
For the consulate, things do not need to be translated to English either. All the COs are fluent in both English and Spanish.
Your original list looked pretty good.

When the cases come in all the numbers are attached to the underbelly of a rooster.
The Director of VSC wears a pure white suit and wide brimmed hat and presides over an arena.
The roosters then are set to fight each other to the death. The winning rooster's number is then approved.
It's all determined by ####### fighting.
Or at least thats how I imagine it after all this time, there really can't be any other way. Maybe they draw straws or throw darts.
