Can I do that even though we are still married?  🙏

 

Yes if that is what you decide .  Get in front of an attorney asap as you don't want to make decisions blind

From her point of view she should want to leave soon as once the child is born most unlikely a Court would let her take the child with her.

Oh I see 🙏

Why?  Courts will rarely separate newborns from mothers, unless there is documented abuse.  If she has no legal path to stay, I can't see her being required to effectively abandon her new baby.

Do you have an interview date?

We don’t have an interview date yet although I have a feeling it will be soon.  She has been granted work authorization a couple of days ago.  

Thank you so much, everyone!

On what basis would she have to stay in the US?

Exactly.  My point was that if and when she has to depart the US, the baby will be going with her.

She would not have a basis to stay, child will be a USC.

Get all your ducks in a row.   Time is ticking. 

 

If it were me,  I  would serve her papers and rescind the affidavit at the interview.   That would be vindictive

Most unlikely.

Really?  So, because her USC spouse withdraws her path to legal status, she loses her parental rights?

Her path to legal status is not an inalienable right
