Thank you.  I am truly enlightened.   I see the loophole now why the passport baby is a hot topic since its being abused. 

 

For Wanni, I wish you all the best.   A baby with your hubby applying for a CR1 in Turkey appears to be a very strong petition, unfortunately you will have to wait and spend time apart.

Thank you so much for your wishes. 

First of all thank you so much for your guys giving me advices.

I never want to do it illegally. Thats why we didnt get married when I was in US. We want to do it right so that we wont have problems in future. Since if my boyfriend meets the requirements, my baby can be born out of US to get USC. We are planning to give birth in Turkey since my boyfriends parents are living there. 

My question is if iits okay that we apply US passport for our baby in Turkey instead of in China ( I am Chinese).

Thank you in advance.

As long as the requirements are met, it's not that your baby will be able to get citizenship, as he will already be considered a USC at birth. The CRBA process is what will allow you to obtain a passport for him. It is totally independent from your K1 petition

thats good for me . thank you so much .

The requirements for your situation are as follows:

 

Its a good point @Unlockable has made with regards to the cost of having the birth in the US. As you won't be married yet you wouldn't fall under your fiancé's health insurance and the out of pocket costs are extremely high. Plus if you return on the B2 you are going to need to go back home anyways to file for the K1 or CR1 which would mean moving back to China with a new born

So is it possible for my baby to get USC if he is born aboard while I apply K1?

If you entered from an ESTA/VWP then you overstayed based on the dates you gave (94). So your ESTA/VWP is gone for good. If you entered under a B2 then you are fine to return.

 

You coming to visit for birth is fine, however, the big issue is you will have to shown how you will pay for the birth and pre and post natal care. This is the biggest issue with people in your situation because birth in the US can cost 10's of thousands of dollars.

 

Best of luck and congrats.

Yes I entered under a B2 visa and was allowed to stay half year. Also I have checked the cost of birth in US, its so much more expensive than in China ( I am from China).

Thank you so much for your reply.

Were you traveling on the visa waiver program? If so you may stay 90 days. Seeing as you overstayed, your ESTA will now be cancelled and you will be ineligible for the VWP going forward. In order to visit the US again as a tourist you would need to apply for a B2, however seeing as you have stated you are planning to marry, and thus have immigrant intent. and are pregnant with a USC's child there is a high chance your application will be refused.

 

The best routes are going to be the K1 or the CR1. The K1 takes about 8 months in the best case and the CR1 about 12 months in the best case. So I see very little chance of you being able to return to the US for the birth. Why do you need the baby to be born in the US? He will be considered as USC through his father even if he is born abroad (as long as the father meets certain criteria)

Hi thank you so much for your answer.

I was visiting US with a 10-year B2 visa. And customs gave me half year when I entered US in May.

The problem is now I am already 15 weeks pregnant. If I apply K1 now, my baby will be born before we get married. We want the baby to be born was because we want him to get USC right away. I didnt know its okay to born aboard. Could you please tell me when I can find the requirement of his father has to have so that the baby can be USC? Thank you so much again.

Hi guys! First of all , thank you so much for spending time to read and answer my questions!

I visited my US boyfriend with tourism visa on 14th, May ,2019 and left on 21st, Aug, 2019. During my stay, I got pregant. In order to give birth our baby legally , we are now planning to get married. My question is I have no idea which immigrant visa is better and faster for us. Because we want our baby to be born in US.

I know I can give birth in US with my tourism visa , but I have stayed more than 3 months in US last time. I dont know if US customs will allow me to stay another 3 months to give birth.

Also how long it will take to apply K1 and  CR1? Thank you in advance.
