PR petition for minor child girlfriend now pregnant

[ctygl 0]

Last February my MIL who is a PR petitioned for her minor son (20yo). I-130 has been approved and paperwork is in NVC, we are waiting on case number any day now. I just found out that his girlfriend is pregnant. (Even though we had a very serious talk regarding making sure this doesn't happen ) The baby won't be born until after his interview. Does it matter that his girlfriend is pregnant? Obviously its not going to be information that we share during the interview. However, if/when he becames a PR and the baby is born, will there be issues for him petitioning for the baby?

I don't see any problem with it as long as he stays unmarried until he receives his gc petitioning the baby isn't problem. Many f2b has a child or children already when they migrated just as long as they are single. We'll see other's answer

The baby won't cause any problems. If he marry his girlfriend during the immigration process, THAT will cause issues because he was petitioned as an UNMARRIED child. He must remain single.

After he enters the US using the F2A visa, he can immediately go back to Mexico and marry his GF. He can file i-130 for his wife and their baby will be a derivative of that i-130 petition.

Cool. That's what I thought but wasn't sure. It just kind of wierd that you can imigrate as a minor with a child, but not a minor that is married.

LPR/Green Card holders cannot petition for their married children. Only US citizens can.

If he decides to get married that will void his F2A petition. His mom would have to naturalize first before she can file another i130 for him. He will get a new priority under the F3 category and a new waiting time of 20 years.
