Documents confusion to bring wife from India to US

[JFH 12,192]

Had you met prior to the wedding? It's best to send a selection of photos over a period of time (we are sending photos from each of my trips to see him) to show an ongoing relationship. Different backgrounds, hairstyles, weather, clothing, etc to show the progression of time. 20 photos from one day (your wedding) are not as good as 10 photos from a longer period of time.

Also, communication records from a longer period of time. A phone record from January, for example, then April, then July, and so on. Rather than one record from the week before the wedding.

I will go to visit my wife before her visa is done. If she gets pregnant before she can come to US, what different paperwork I will need to file? Thanks in advance.

If she doesn't give birth before a visa is issued, nothing. If she gives birth during the process, your household count will increase on the I-864 and you will have to file a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA).

I am US citizen, if my child is born in India will he/she be US citizen automatically?

Only if you meet the residency requirement to pass US citizenship on to your child automatically.

Child Born Between November 14, 1986, and the Present

If at the time of your birth, both your parents were U.S. citizens and at least one had a prior residence in the U.S., you automatically acquired U.S. citizenship, with no conditions for keeping it.

If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the U.S. for at least five years, and at least two of those years must have been after your parent reached the age of 14.

Even with only one U.S. citizen parent, there are still no conditions to keeping your citizenship. If your one U.S. citizen parent is your father and your birth was illegitimate (took place when the parents weren’t married), the same rules apply so long as you were legally legitimated (your father acknowledged paternal responsibility) before your 18th birthday. In addition, your father must have established paternity prior to your 18th birthday, either by acknowledgment or by court order, and must have stated, in writing, that he would support you financially until your 18th birthday.
