My wife is pregnant. What happens to our child?

[rikimarurc 1]

Hello, I need some help and information about a possibility...

My wife's F2A processing is doing well so far, then we found out that I got her pregnant from my previous visit. Doing some math, we're guessing that her immigration could be some time around November - December this year. Her due date for child delivery is on February 2016.

My questions are:

1.) If she would be given the usual 2-3 month period to get into the US after visa approval, is there a possibility to extend that if she cannot travel due to pregnancy?

2.) If she gives birth in the Philippines and her visa's been approved beforehand, will she be able to bring our child with her? If not, how do we go about with that?

Thanks!

All is about timing. I don't get what you mean by post #1. It usually doesn't take that long to get the visa. If she's advised not to travel by her ob-gyn then there's nothing we can do.

#2. After child birth, expedite child's NSO birth certificate and passport. Once on-hand, call the US Embassy Manila and inform them that you would like to add the baby into the F2A petition. They will tell you how to proceed to the next step.

Keep in mind that your wife's medical exam at SLEC is only good for 6 months and the visa expiry is tied up with it.

Good luck!
