Wow got the visas delivered already!

Wow this is really happening!

It came with a letter which says a baby born after issuance of visa can travel with the parents with a passport and long form birth certificate as long as they travel while the visa is valid. But they did tell us at the embassy that we couldn't, that it only applies if the mother was the one with the visa, not the father. It's really misleading though. I feel like I want to just phone and double check that before we proceed with plans to emmigrate to quickly. But I guess they know what they're talking about and I should just believe that.

Wow we really have the visas!

Yes I was thinking this too. As the US citizen (mother) once the baby is born can you not just obtain a passport for it from the US embassy in London? I read your other thread about trying to fly home now before the baby is born.

Good luck on whatever you decide and congratulations on having the visa in hand!

Thanks. No, because I've lived in the UK all my life (bar like a year when I was a kid) my children are not entitled to US citizenship. Which is why my two current children required visas too. I think you have to have lived in the US for 5 or maybe 10 years since being 14 years old, in order for your children born abroad to be entitled to US citizenship. Unfortunately.
