You got lucky!  Pregnancy is not usually accepted as a reason to expedite.

It was expedited on Medical reasons in my pregnancy. But What I was trying to get as is that they didn't mention I couldn't have an interview or had to wait till the baby was born lol. They just sped the process up. So if it was true we had to wait surly I would have been told and the expedite would have just been denied.

Like others said, you don't have to wait to immigrate until after the pregnancy. however... I HIGHLY recommend researching how much it would cost to have the baby in the US vs. Canada unless money is no object for you and your spouse. I'm of course assuming healthcare costs are more favorable in Canada than US (because most places are 🙄). Will you have insurance coverage in the US? or cash pay? You may want to have your spouse start calling some OB doctors and hospitals to get an idea of costs if you would be cash pay. TBH it feels like having insurance in the US actually ends up costing you more though since they can bill your insurance at insane rates. 

 

Speaking from experience... it's insanely expensive to have a baby here in the US. I'm currently pregnant and have already shelled out around $4k (with insurance) and I'm not even in my third trimester. I have a $10,000 max out of pocket with my insurance plan and at this rate I will definitely get to the $10K max. I just got a bill in the mail yesterday where the office billed my insurance SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS for an ultrasound... just to put it in perspective. So if you're near the end of your pregnancy anyway and money is at all a concern then you may want to consider waiting if it's significantly cheaper in Canada. Either way, all the best on the pregnancy and immigration journey!

I sought advice from a group on Facebook and many have told me that in my interview they will tell me I can not move until after the baby is born.

Everyone gave you good accurate advice already....I just gotta ask this out of sheer curiosity....

 

What were the reasons given to you as to why you cannot move until after the birth?  I need a good laugh today.

We began filing our CR1 13 months ago and are at the stage where NVC is (re)checking our documents. A few days ago, I found out I (the Canadian) am pregnant. I sought advice from a group on Facebook and many have told me that in my interview they will tell me I can not move until after the baby is born. Just curious if anyone has experienced this. Obviously, I would like to be living with my husband by then but if it can’t be then it can’t be. 

that is not true, as soon as you have your visa you can move. unless any medical advice and you can decide to wait

Think you missed my point.  What I meant was that being pregnant will neither *help* nor *hurt* an immigration case.

I didnt miss your point at all - LOL  

My comment was to the OP

BTW, DCF of the CRBA docs, considering all the qualifications are met seemed to happen quickly in comparison to the K-3/CR-1 visa. It took about a month from filing the document, to receiving citizenship documents and passport on hand.

No choice but to file in person is my recollection.  We all had to go in.

 

Luckily it’s a citizen services appt, quick and efficient.  Whole different group staffing that counter.
