To make my story more interesting, I just confirmed that my fiancé is pregnant .... how will she be able to see a doctor ? What do I do now ? I’m scared 

She makes an appointment like anybody else. Her legal status is not a bar for medical care.

As for paying for it...presumably you can marry and add her to your insurance plan? I'm not sure how this would work while she has no authorized stay (presumably not an issue), but certainly once she files for AOS she should be fine. Note that an SSN is not needed for insurance...you just may have to work through it with the insurer or HR on how to do so.

Hello I am new to this forum and not entirely sure if I am posting in the correct place but i could use some help and direction. My fiance came here from Thailand on a J1 visa around 5 years ago. She was part of an Au pair family and things did not work out for her with the family. She was taken advantage of and was placed with another family and was expected to care for a child that was autistic and was not really experienced enough to care for the child and other children. She then found work here in Ohio and continued to work this entire time. She then moved in with a boyfriend and until about 6 months ago lived with him and they never married and it was mostly a bad situation all around. It was very difficult for her to get out of that situation but she finally did. I met her at a restaurant that we work at and I quickly fell in love with her. We started living together quickly and started spending the majority of our time together. I want to marry her and i have already got a marriage licence and we plan to marry on the 4th of February. I have some fear about the process of getting her status updated since she has been here so long and also been working. She has become a part of my family and I truly love her and want to stay with her forever but i have little direction or really anyone to help me through this process. Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated.

First thing is to check if your fiancé’s J1 visa has a two-year home country physical presence requirement.  If she is not subject to the requirement, you can apply for an adjustment of status immediately after your wedding. And if she is subject to the requirement, a waiver can be requested on certain bases.

Do you get deportation order after the termination?
