Family Planning and AOS question

[FrozenGlitter 1]

This won't be an issue till next year, likely, but I haven't found the answer anywhere. Once my fiance moves here and marries me, we want a baby. For multiple personal reasons, waiting very long would be a bad idea. We intended to start trying as soon as he gets a job, which can be as soon as 3 months after we marry, assuming he gets his work authorization and a job in good time.

But in talking, we realized that by the time his green card gets processed, and he gets interviewed and all, I may be either too pregnant to work or have just had a baby and not be working. What happens then? If I'm sponsoring him and not working at the time of the actual interview, even though he'll have a good enough job and I will have been working when we married, will he get kicked out? Do we need to wait till after that interview for me to get pregnant? And lastly, how long, approximately, from filing the AOS forms to this interview?

Getting a cosponsor is not likely, btw, I have noone who can do it.

If you are not working, you need a joint sponsor. If you do not have either your AOS won't be approved. Best to wait until after everything is approved, and then have a baby.

I am in agreement here. If and when you have your AOS interview, you will need to prove your CURRENT fiancial situation so you want to be able to make sure that you can prove you can support him. I would wait until after the green card is approved as well.

Ok, thank you both. Approximately how long is it from filing to recieving the green card interview? aws&ndd, I see yours isn't a long wait, but I thought I'd read it took more than 6 months?

The time to get the green card depends on whether the file will be forwarded to a local office for an interview, or if it gets processed at NBC without an interview. In my case it took only a little over 2 months from filing to my interview date, but if you don't get an interview it might take around 9 months. If you get an interview, it also depends on the backlog at the local USCIS office.

Actually we are still waiting. My wife is still waiting for her EAD card, which hopefully will come next week. As far as our AOS goes, I haven't a clue really. We haven't heard anything about our case, so we may be waiting a while. BUT as long as my wife is here with me, the waiting is a little more bearable

Yeah, I can imagine! Good luck!

Since you are asking financial and family planning... Be sure that your insurance will be in place for childbirth as that kind of debt is a hard way to start a new life!
