Insurance subsidized by my employer would be about $700 per month for a family, but the cost will depend on what's available in your state.  

Its not so much the cost that I am worried about now. It's how to get my wife, who will be living in Canada, insurance so she can go to the US to give birth... Is that even possible?

No, not really Insurance.

 

Once she is resident in the US she can buy Insurance. You mentioned her Employment, is that a transfer?

Children born of a USC are USC just need to do the paperwork

Not necessarily..

 

A person who was born overseas may be a USC by descent from USC parent, but unless they themselves have lived in the US for more than 5 years at the time of their child’s birth ... and at least 2 of those years were when the parent was over 14 years of age .... US citizenship is not automatic.

 

For that child, they will need an immigrant visa to enter the

US.. and are then able to immediately apply for citizenship.

Her job is not a transfer. She's in a pretty good field so she hopefully would get Healthcare that way. 

 

 

Why not plan to move after the delivery in Canada, when you'll all have your visas? If she's not rushed by an employer to transfer, that might be the best option.

Its a mix of the schooling for the kids and the fact that I am keeping my life on hold until this Saga is over.

If I do wait that would mean having the baby in September 2019 then only moving in June 2021. Being that my children's and my i-130 just got approved, do you think it's possible for me to push the NVC off until then?

Health care in the US is a BIG issue and certainly should form part of your decision.

That would cause about a year or more delay in their move.  

 

It's going to boil down to priorities and abilities.  They either delay, or the deal with the cost of birth in the US for their child.  Their decision.  Can't have it both ways.

Unfortunately... 

 

It really seems like im in a pickle here. 

 

Waiting the 2 years does seem to be the simplest option disregarding the fact that my wife and I have basically been keeping our lives on hold pending this move. 

 

If we do decide to wait the 2 years would we be able to delay at the NVC for that long?

Yes, of course.

This is a very interesting option. While I knew about the possibility of asking for to expedite I think you are the first that I have seen that would have been successful based on a pregnancy. It goes against even the stickied post in this subforum. 

 

Does anyone know if I can delay the process at the point when they are setting the interview date?

 

Essentially i would be pushing ahead and only be able to make a call based on when that date is. Before the due date, we're golden, after and we would be pushing it off for a year or two. 

 

Remember you were also advised to discuss this with the Consulate Officer.

@mypcool before you continue on with your plans you really need to read this link form the Canada forum. You are dealing with Montreal and this is the only country that will not just except your plans to move. They actually want the USC spouse to be living in the US before the interview. Being that your income will follow I can see them be even more strict with your wife already being in the US.

Thanks for the heads up. Scary stuff. 

 

I really hope that I am covered with this. I have the school registration, lease, banking, etc. 

 

It does seem to be sporadic, some people haveing a easy time with basic info while others are having to go the full distance and actually move.
