If the US citizen father has been a USC and lived in the UISA for some time, the baby is likely a US citizen too and can get a passport shortly after birth, then the father than bring the baby over to the USA.

The mother cannot come unless married to dad (or engaged and marrying in the USA within 90 days), or wait till the baby is 21 and then "baby" can petition for mom.

The father would not have to petition. However, in order to pass citizenship onto the child at birth, the father must 1) agree in writing to provide financial support for the person until the person reaches the age of 18 years, and 2) acknowledge paternity of the person in writing under oath, or the paternity of the person is established by adjudication of a competent court.

If you meet certain requirements the child will have US citizenship at birth, you will need to apply for a CRBA at the embassy.

Having a US citizen child gives no immigration rights to the mother (father). The child can petition for her when the child turns 21.

I had a question. If a USA citizen had impregnated a woman from another country. What would be the process of bringing the baby to the USA and is it possible to bring the mother of the baby to the USA without marring her?

In order to get citizenship for the child, the USC had to have had sufficient time in the US to convey citizenship. CRBA would need to be filed for the child but if the USC does not acknowledge the child then there's nothing you can do. You would need to request a DNA test but the USC wouldn't be compelled by a foreign court, it would need to be a USC court. An expensive and lengthy process.

Assuming the child was proven to be a USC and was able to get citizenship, the mother of the child has no status simply by having a child who is a USC. The mother would have to get a visa on their own merits. The child being a USC wouldn't need a visa, just their USC passport.

There are several visa types that do not require marriage, but she would need to qualify for them. If marriage were chosen as the only option, the child being born and being USC is not proof enough of relationship. A one-night stand, a fling, does not qualify for a spousal visa. There would need to be a legitimate relationship, and financial support documentation would be needed and once the GC is received, the financial document would not be revoked by divorce etc and could result in the USC being sued by the US government if the immigrant obtains federal means tested benefits.

So in short - while the child could possibly obtain USC, the mother has no status just because the child is a USC. The child could be shipped off to the US to live, the mother could not go without her own type of visa.

I like this answer better!good.gif It is straight to the point, devoid of rambling and makes the most sense.
