Wife might be pregnant, does this affect the I-130 etc????

[r060106 109]

Hi all,

So my wife and I just found out today she might be pregnant (she's not completely sure yet, has to get confirmation from her doctor). Would this affect the I-130 and the NVC processes at all? Or does everything take place as it normally would, the child is born and I then just submit the CRBA? We plan on sending the I-130 package at the end of August.

If it does affect the I-130 do I have to petition for them both? I'm semi concerned about it and don't want it to slow the process of bringing her here. If anyone can shed light on this that would be great. Prior similiar experiences are very welcome, because that way I can see how others dealt with it and what you had to go through.

Thank you very much!

No it doesn't effect anything. If baby is born before interview yes a CRBA and a US passport. So no problem. This doesn't delay in any way. You need not add anything or nothing.

Oh Congratulations Daddy!!

Thank you! Really? That's great news. What happens if the child is born after the interview? I guess I'm a little worried about the CRBA and proving I've been here. I mean I have four years of college transcripts and Income Tax Forms/W-2s, but I then went home for the summer, so there's a gap, and the form makes it look like I can't have any gaps. Kind of confused on how to prove I was here. Thanks for the help.

Well I know many embassies will request DNA test. have no idea about Poland. But that will be requested at interview and will take a few months to process. but thats the proof.bu

t I know many have not needed to probably because wasn't high fraud or issues.

Not to worry it will be fine. If she has plenty of evidence at interview showing when you were there shouldn't be to hard.

You mean a lot of the embassies might not need the DNA test because of less fraud?

many women across the world have had approvals and no DNA required. Don't know if its about fraud the country or what. I would check around your country forum ask see what the norm is.

Our first child was born in the midst of our CR-1 process. It did not effect our process and we were not not required to provide a DNA test.

My understanding is they typically only request a dna test when the child is born out of wedlock where the intending immigrant is entering with under an I-129f. Your child (assuming your wife is pregnant and gives birth before she enters the US) will and SHOULD NOT enter as an immigrant. They would enter as USC after you have completed a CRBA, or Form FS-240 . You will need to provide proof of marriage, the long form birth certificate of the child that lists you as the father, along with proof your your US citizenship; you will also beed W-2's (or other documents) that show that you have lived in the U.S. for at least two years .

You need to be able to prove 5 years presence in US, 2 of which need to be after 14 years old.

I just did this for my son in June.

Ok, great to hear. What proof did yu give if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking 4 years of high school and college transcripts, 4-5 years of Income Tax Transcripts and bank account and medical records. Hoping that's enough.

What evidence did you give and were you required to get a DNA test? Was the process difficult at all? Thanks for the reply.

Hey There,

I'm also pregnant and we had filed our I-130 so it didn't matter i.e it did not affect the I-130 and everything takes place normally.

I actually thought it would help speed up the process but unfortunately it didn't happen.

I hope this helped somewhat.

COngrats!!!! It has no affect on expediting your petition. Just keep each other calm, and relaxed concentrate on the baby and the process will go quicker than you think.
