Baby on the way... Can we expedite? How?

[Boiler 45,522]

I remain to be convinced anybody has obtained an expedite solely on the grounds of normal pregnancy.

The very odd occasion I have seen it suggested there has been little in the way of confirmation.

Why was your husband banned for 5 years? You mentioned where he always gets through?

You have 5 months to go before the baby is due, good luck. I would be more concerned about the previous ban and is he no longer under review for that.

Just my opinion, but no one asked about that.

Because your pregnancy is high risk, OP, try foe the exedite. As mentioned, it never will be granted unless you try. Best of luck and i do hope your pregnancy is uneventful beyond the joy it brings you.

This is true. We didn't have kids together or a joint lease or mortgage and got approved. I did send a boat load of other evidence though.

I can tell that you haven't been jaded by previous experiences, which is fine. As a child of a marriage that was basically for a green card, I can tell you that my birth means absolutely nothing to my British father who just wanted to escape the poverty and lack of social mobility back home. Different experiences color your perception.

I am sorry to hear that. My husband and I, however, have had the total opposite experience with our respective parents.

What baffles me is the simplicity with which some think conception must be. Odds are it's much easier to enter into dubious financial partnerships , as many do, than conceive, birth and raise a child although there are many women who'd naively fall into such traps under false pretenses of their amorous partners.

I've explained it earlier.

the ban has been over for a year and a few months now and that he has been removed under 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) which is is basically intend to immigrate, as far as I understand and is most common (correct me, anyone, if I'm mistaken)

We both believe that it must have had something to do with his previous job that sponsored him in the US but as markets crashed he was let go off it (B2?)

It would be absolutely ridiculous if this ban, although expired, has lifelong impact. People under bans can still challenge this restrictions while they are in effect, we, however, chose not to.

If people with STDs are allowed waivers to their inadmissibility, the scale should tip even further in favor of immediate family members of US citizens.

Sorry for the off topic responses. I just find it puzzling how hostile some of the posters here are to the idea that having a child together is evidence of a good faith relationship. Congratulations on your pregnancy and I hope you find a way for your husband to be at the birth. I went through the same thing while petitioning for my husband, and it was frustrating but ultimately very survivable... Hang in there with the emotions and hormones.

Thank you, my dear.

I hear everything's survivable in comparison to labor pains :-)

try it ! it did not work for us and my hospital I delivered at did not allow him to view the birth through skype or anything. he had to wait until after I delivered, which sucked. you will be ok

I think that, just like in non-immigration life, pregnancy happens under *such* a variety of circumstances, some with true intentions and others with significantly less so, and the more time you spend here, the more you see the "less so" and the more jaded you become, especially when personal circumstances and histories can give you a pre-existing worldview. And that's just here. So imagine a USCIS officer. I think it's just so highly individual, couple-to-couple, and more than likely in your case it can be seen as supporting evidence.

But what if it was a female beneficiary from a high fraud country applying for a K-1 with a man (let's imagine he's significantly older than she is and/or a recently naturalized citizen from that same high fraud country) she's only met once, through a matchmaker or mutual family friend. Red flags all over that, and the pregnancy could be less of a "oh, they really love each other and are starting a family" and more of a "well, something seems afoot here". Depends, I suppose.

Conception can be simple and complicated. I know exactly the day my daughter was concieved, it was the day we didnt use condoms 2 months into the relationship with her father. We were together over 9 years and never co-mingled financially. (Or married.)

My best friend in high school was raped by her boyfriend and concieved.

My mother and my sister both concieved on birth control.

I know multiple men and women who have multiple children with multiple partners.

But for some people its very complicated and takes a long time, and often a lot of money. I also had friends who spent over 50k and several years trying get pregnant with their first daughter, but the second was a complete surprise.

I know more couples with children that refuse to co-mingle their finances than the other way around.

Dear all,

I have forgotten to mention that I sent our my petition on June 1st and have not received neither an email confirmation of receipt nor a text message

However, today, I received this message in an email that left me baffled

"Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS Nebraska Service Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number LINxxxxxxxxxxx"

I know that my package has been delivered since I tracked it, but I am not sure of what this wording means... is it NOA1 or NOA2??? accepted???

Please please anyone, advise me. I, of course, tried to check the case status online immediately, but it is still not recognizing it.

Appreciate your help

It'll take around a week before you can track it online.
