My fiance is pregnant

[Turo 2]

Hello,

 

Not sure if this topic goes here, but my question is:

we are in the process of filling for k-1 visa, she is currently in mexico, before doing that she has a court case to get full custody of her son k-2 as well for him,we need to finish that process first before we continue with k-1 application. Here's the situation, we're going to have a baby together, she is due in may, two months from now, if i'm not mistaken the baby is going to acquire the citizenship automatically, that's what i heard, if that's correct, what would be the procedure in order for the baby to get the american passport

Congrats!

 

She would apply for a CRBA (and US passport) from the US embassy/consulate in Mexico.

OP, assuming you meet the requirements to transfer citizenship, the child will automatically be a US citizen. If not, you will need to file a K-2.
