I am in the middle of K1 visa process and currently awaiting NOA2, currently have waited 5 months already for the VSC. I am the US petitionar and am 9 months pregnant. Our baby will certainly be born before the interview in Honduras. My question is will they require DNA testing for my fiance (paternity) and of me and the baby to approve the visa and will this subsequently delay the interview or visa??? Please anyone in this situation or previously I would love some info...........

I am not too sure about Honduras and if it is a high fraud country for immigration or not. Hoping someone else can help you here but I would say they most probably will. I see you planned on marrying today so I hope you get to be married soon and were able to rearrange your date. Also if your 5 months is up you can call to find out what's going on .

Divorced !st November 2012.

Married only 2 years 1 month

You wont need DNA to prove its your baby for your visa. But you will likely need a CRBA and apply for the babys US passport if the father is the US citizen. http://honduras.usembassy.gov/repbirthab.html

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

No. You and your baby are already USC and are already here. You filed for him as your spouse not as a father, so there's nothing regarding the child he'll need to prove to get a visa. He'll be treated as if you were not pregnant. The embassy does not need to know when you give birth. If you were the beneficiary, then it would matter.

I was pregnant before I filed for a K1 for my now husband. I filed the petition 2 1/2 months after our daughter was born. At his interview, my husband presented them with our daughter's birth certificate with his name one it. You can get his name on it by filing a signed and notarized affidavit of parentage with your state. The consulate provides these notary services for non citizens. We were never asked to provide a DNA test to prove parentage, and my husband got his visa.

I have only read about cases in which the embassy required a DNA test if the woman was the beneficiary, not the petitioner. It will certainly make it more difficult for you to travel for his interview with a newborn though, or perhaps you are not planning on being present at his interview (I do not know if it is required in Honduras as it is STRONGLY suggested in the Dominican Republic) and, if this is the case, you should probably send your fiance a copy of your child's birth certificate along with copies of your passport and itineraries (to prove that conception took place during one of your trips to see your fiance and provide further proof of relationship).

Best wishes! (F)

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

If you are in the US the only thing that will impact the process is that the household size goes up by 1 when the child is born.

If you are in the US
This is the only thing that the OP didn't specify, and we're all assuming that she will be in the U.S. when the baby is born.

As a gentle correction for precision's sake, it might have kept some respondents from misunderstanding the situation had the opening words of the original post been "I am in the middle of the I-129F petition process..."

And, OP, Aztec's advice in regard to being present at the interview (or the written or unwritten need therefor) merits researching. Atop every VJ page is "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy." Review both, thoroughly, for word or hint about Honduras. If nobody has clearly mentioned anything, or if information is conflicting, post a query in the Regional Subforum for Latin America. Regardless, follow Aztec's birth-certificate/passport/itinerary advice without fail. If your research uncovers the "requirement" that you as the USC should be present, follow Aztec's advice and also send an e-mail to the consulate a few days before the interview to state "I have just given birth..." or "Our baby is too young to travel..." or whatever the truth is. Have a paper trail, si man. :thumbs:

---

Edited to add (off the original topic, but for the quoted respondent Anh map): Roger, congratulations on your wife's having taken the Citizenship Oath just a couple of days before! If you broadcast this anywhere, I missed it, but heartiest congrats, si man!

My finacee was pregnant when I filed for her and she was overseas - we did not have any issues with our case rather it helped us - there were no DNA tests done after she was born overseas and I obtained my daughters US passport within a week at the Embassy.

Any updates on this situation?

Filed I-129F and week later found out I was pregnant. I, too, am hoping that NOA2, interview, and visa all happens before Feb. 2012 the estimated baby due date. I am the US petitioner, however, ob/gyn has informed me in Texas I can have father sign Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP) before birth of child. They will actually send the paperwork to him in another country and he has to get it notarized and mailed back to the AOP worker. AOP worker will provide me with copy. If he is not here in the US by the time baby is born, I have to bring the AOP paperwork with me to hospital when I deliver and they will put his name on child's birth certificate.
