    AnnexoxShay got a reaction from user19000 in what if the marriage doesn't work?   
    They werent suggesting she find someone to stay here ... The poster was being sarcastic because lately there has been several posts of similar content in other parts of the forum ... Personally I cant decide if some of these people dont quite understand what a K1 actually is or if they are trying to find an easy way to the US ...
    I work as a volunteer at a Salvation Army Relief centre .... We recently had a case come in for assistance, She was the sweetest Chinese gal youll ever meet with a new born babe ... Her Australian husband had changed his mind about the marriage and actually went as far as denying the baby was his ... as a result she was unable to receive any assistance from the Government or maintenance from him while paternity was being determined ....
    The baby however was able to get a small payment (being a citizen) of around $50 some dollars barely enough to feed and cloth her ... this went on for months ... We did as much as we could by paying her bills and giving her food vouchers and pharmasy vouchers (for formula) ... My supervisor even filled out paperwork so her case could be reviewed quicker due to extreme hardship ...
    Eventually the results came back and he was indeed the babies father and the Government had to back pay her and the husband also had to back pay maintenance ... but if she hadnt had support from a charitable organisation and a place to stay she would have had no choice but to leave ...
    ... ie having a baby isnt going to guarantee you can stay in the the country .. they will do a paternity test ...
    Marriage is tough at the best of times ... together with the stress of applying for a K1 and added pregnancy off cause your going to have issues arise .... The best advise so far has been the marriage councelling ... If you really really love your husband and want to make a go of this marriage talk to him and organise some marriage councelling for both of you ... This can only make you both stronger and solidify the relationship ... the fact that you took marriage councelling to help overcome your difference can also be used as evidence when your doing your AOS .... This can only be a good thing especially being so early in the relationship, dont let habits develope conquer them now and youll have a stronger more fullfilled relationship in the future ...
    Good luck.
