Is there any way this can be done without the father being in Canada?

I have a greencard ( conditional ) and in the process of removing the conditions.

I got divorced a few months ago because if ny ex husband's infidelity and am now pregnant with my current american BF. I am getting care/living in Canada right now without my bf( i didn't want to be left without healthcare in the US). I am wondering how complex it will be and what i need to do to get the child into the US so we can be with my bf ( and baby's father ) once he is born.

I know I need to get all of his canadian things situated before I go. But what do I need to do to get the baby set up in america ( since the father is american)

thanks in advance,

thanks,

I am actually divorced now and just trying to make things work.

It's not looking promising. sigh.. canadian health care coverage is so much less hassle! I just cant imagine doing this WITHOUT the baby's father here with me. And he cant come to canada right now.

I just figured it would be so much easier to be in the Us with my bf and in my own apartment in the US for this. getting to the US after the baby is born is gonna take forever.

I would be working and getting health care coverage through work if I wasnt off due to pregnancy.

i just feel lost.

Is there any sort of health care coverage I could get being a new greencard holder and pregnant?

I need some sort of maternal health care coverage, and am ineligible for medicaid because I have had a greencard for less than 5 years.

ok. thanks for the info.

Im just pregnant and want health care in the US.

this stuff gets so confusing and complicated.

i appreciate the answers, Inky.. thanks

Your sponsor will be paying back any and all means-tested benefits you collect. Green card holders are not allowed to collect or get help from means-tested benefits.

oh.. i didn't know that at all! So, esentially, I can't get things like medicaid with a greencard...even after it's permanent?

I am divorced and am just about to file for my permanent greencard.

Will applying for medicaid and other low income services for pregnant women effect the chances of getting approved for my permanent card?

thanks so much for the info! I appreciate it!

I just wanted to double check:

How long can I be outside of the US when holding a conditional green card? Is it 6 months?

Thank you for the info

I feel like everywhere I have been looking has been giving me different info. I just want to know the steps i need to take to get this done and taken care of.

and yes, the bf is a us citizen.

I'm sure there are a million topics concerning some of my same questions... but here goes..

-I am now divorced and hold a temporary greencard.

-I am currently living in Canada with family. I moved home a few months after the divorce was final to 'get my head on straight.

-I am pregnant and the baby's father ( and my bf) is in the US

-I plan on living and working in the US, but since I am pregnant, I can't quit the job i have in canada and hope to find a new one in the US this far along in the pregnancy.

( i know all this sounds dramatic.. but it happened, planned or unplanned, and im trying to figure out 'my normal'. I swear im not usually this 'jerry springer'... The last 2 years of my life have put my world in utter chaos!

Can I file the i-751 now, as my divorce has been final for quite some time? ( or still wait until the 90 days before it expires?)

Should I get aid and have the baby in the US and file from there?

Does my exhusband need to sign the i-751 form?

Would it be easier to get all paperwork for the baby done if it is born in the US?

thanks a bunch in advance.

Hi,

My name is Abby and I am getting ready to file to remove the conditions on my green card.

I am from canada and my ex-husband is american. We divorced not too long after we got married. It's been really hard but i'm dealing. He was in the military and informed me while deployed that he had cheated in the past, suddenly didn't want children and it was too hard to think about my emotions. Long story short, we decided to get a divorce.

Right now Im living back in Canada with my family and pregnant with my new bf of 5 months. My situation is, well... slightly complicated, and im here trying to figure out what i need to do in my situation!

I never thought my life would end up this dramatic, but im trying to get back on my feet and get back to being me... with baby.

Drama aside, I am 28 years old, a teacher ( but currently working as a tech support agent for a internet company... i miss teaching!!!! hehe)

Im from Nova Scotia Canada, and currently getting prepared to have the baby and decide if i should have it in the US with my bf or Canada.

I used to be on this forum when I first got engaged, but started a new account, since my exhusband has acsess to that account. I used to be, 'thewhites'.

Anyway.. its a breath of fresh air to be back on the most helpful forum online, and i look forward to getting to know everyone!
