k1 visa question

[briank1visa 0]

I am awaiting the packet 3 from the embassy. They said they already sent it to the untited states 10 days ago. Think it is going to my lawyer. Makes no sense since it is all the information she needs. Is this normal?

another question maybe I am not the only one in this situation. My fiancee is pregnant so i am hopeing I will have her here soon. Health insurance seems like it might be a problem. My insurance won't take with a pre existing condition of her being pregnent. Think I make to much money for medicare. Think it costs 10 to 12 grand to have a baby if every thing goes right wich i can afford. Just wondering if there is anything out there for someone in this situation. Just trying to think ahead. Think the first step would be getting her ssn when she gets here. that might be another problem trying to find health ins when she doesn't have an ssn. If anyone has any ideas i would aprreciate it

thanks

Does she have health insurance there? Would it be better/cheaper to have the baby then bring them up when everyone is healthy? Hmm, I'm not sure about that one. Tough situation. Good luck!

I agree, with having the child in her country if you do not have health insurance in the United States. I will almost guarantee that she will not find an individual health insurance policy in the US that will cover her pregnancy. Even if she does not have insurance in her country it is most likely cheaper for you to cover her hospital costs in her own country.

I think (perhaps) that she can look to have the child here at a free clinic or women's health center. I'm not completely sure, as I've never had to personally look for such a place/service, but try searching a little bit for free clinics in your area and see if they have birthing facilities. Otherwise, she may have to have the baby abroad, as others have suggested.

Good luck and congratulations on the baby!

Depends on where in El Salvador the fiancee is. It may be safer for mother and child to deliver here.

I think the OP said he can afford th $10K it would cost. If you have that kind of money, you may also want to look for a midwife and a home birth. It's generally a lot cheaper than the ob/gyn prenatal care and a hospital birth (for a normal pregnancy/healthy mother) and fewer interventions, which are often unnecessary.

Good luck!

If i go that route having the baby born abroad how much farther would that set the k1 visa back. what els would be needed. depending on when the embassy approves the visa she just might have to have the baby born there. Really want the baby born here though for her and the babys safety. Thanks for everyones responses.
