Hello everyone,

Our update is Cary got her green card in November and social security card in December, the wedding was July 28th. My question is should she contact the Philippine consulate to get her name changed on her passport? Here's why it is important. She is pregnant. I am in shock. I am in shock 'cause I had Prostate cancer seven years ago and was essentially told I would be shooting blanks. I had opted for eight weeks of daily radiation. Since I have a pre existing condition I can't get health insurance for less then the GDP of Guam. So what I have is a pregnant wife with no health insurance. It seems to us that it would be better if she went back to the Philippines and had the baby there. She also has a large family and would get more TLC there then here because I have a small family and everyone works a full time job. The toal cost there appears to be about $1,500 to $2,000 usd from pre to post natal and well baby care. My second question is what do I have to do to get my child into the US and to get the child citizen status? We are guessing that her due date will be mid August. We will have a more precise date when we see her Ob-Gyn the end of the month. I am in shock but I am also happy. I did share with her from the beginning what I was told by my doctors so of course we took no precausions. As always everyone's thoughts are welcome.

She doesn't need to have her name changed just yet. May be easier for her to get it done in the Philippines.

Make the ticket out to the name that appears on her passport. Just have her present your marriage certificate at the airport to address the discrepancy between her passport and her green card.

If she will be outside the US for more than 6 months, you guys may want to visit your local USCIS office about obtaining a re-entry permit so her return to the US doesn't raise any eyebrows.

Kindly request for your post to be transferred to the Philippine discussion board so that knowledgeable members can share with your the CRBA process for your future baby. Congrats!

I can't answer your questions but I wanted to say congratulations for your happy news. It must be wonderful for you after thinking that biological children were unlikely.
