Hello all I have been using all the resources this websites has to give and I am very appreciative. My question is in reguards to my Fiancee's pregnancy. She is from Ghana and I lived in Ghana for a year. I came back to the US for 4months and then went back to ghana for a traditional marriage.(No marriage papers were filled). During that time she became pregnant our plan was to do a fiance visa. She is 9weeks pregnant and i am filing the fiancee papers in 2 days. If the baby is born before the visa goes through or the plane will not allow her to fly because of her stage of pregnancy; what are my options? Any help with this would be great. Tyvm

If the baby is born before the visa is issued or she can't fly and has the baby after the visa is issued but before coming to the US (like TracyTN said, the visa is valid for 6 months after issue so she should have ample time no matter what happens), the birth needs to be reported to the US Consulate in Ghana so that the baby can get US Citizenship & a US passport. You won't have to get a visa for the baby because he/she will be a US Citizen since you are a US Citizen.
