Hi guys,

I've scoured the site and running into a road block on what to do, here is our current situation:

My fiance lives in Canada is still waiting for her desk order divorce to be finalized (currently looking like the latest it would be approved is 12/21/17). Anyways we just found out that she is pregnant and we were intending to start the K1 Visa process straightaway after everything was finalized with her divorce but now are concerned with the timeline. Is there a separate process that we should be looking at, or is K1 the best way for us?

There is no separate process for "pregnant fiances". Pregnancy will not expedite any process also. You're doing a normal K1 route, after the divorce is finalized.

Is divorce still a year away?

Can't do anything till divorce is final, then bring her in as fiance or wife.

no. a husband can be ruled a legal father in some cases, but not automatically

They have been separated for 1.5 years and her lawyer was finally able to get him to sign the needed documents a couple months ago so 12/22 is when the divorce should be finalized.

Can you move to Canada? I think they allow partners to be sponsored.

Yup we have been dealing with that this entire year so I am well aware. I know everyone keeps telling me to have the baby there, but just trying to see options I suppose.

Is this date a typo?

The US process will take something like that and you can not start yet.

TN Visa? Do you qualify?
