Hello everyone,
I am in a complicated situation...I was an idiot and reacted out of emotion and ended up canceling my petition for my fiance. I know I have to restart the entire process, and we decided to get married and do the I-130. The problem is I ended up pregnant during our last visit, and I was wondering how long is I-130 taking? Is it possible to give birth overseas, or is it better to give birth in America citizenship-wise for the child? Thanks :)

It's about 12-18 months for a spousal visa.

 

Give birth where you can get good medical care.

If you give birth abroad and there's a US citizen parent who has lived in the US for at least 5 years (2 years after age 14), then you will need to file a CRBA with the US Embassy and apply for a US passport for your child.  You will need these to bring your child to the US.
