Lmao well you don't work for USCIS and even if you did, you would not be allowed to work on your own case, so your opinion means nothing in the face of the facts, which is that USCIS would not consider this an emergency or serious reason for expedite.

I’m not a medical doctor or pediatric nutritionist and in any case not familiar  with your son’s medical case.  

You would need to  provide convincing medical proof of peril to your son and medical or other proof that he cannot travel to his mother.  I think it is improbable as your son wouldn’t be the first infant forced to find a way to survive without the gestational mother’s milk.   
 

Best wishes for your son’s full recovery.  

the baby is just a baby and mother is breast feeding

no medical condition was ever mentioned 

OP thinks bringing the baby to the US will show the need for the mother to come with the baby 

 

Sorry OP ,  but your wife needs to go thru the same long drawn out process same as the rest of us

If this was a factor in USCIS/Consulates expediting, the next generation would be labeled Baby Boomers 2.

The K1 visa process is taking longer than we thought. A year to process form i129f it looks like.

 

Is there any risk in applying for a B VISA while waiting for the K1?

 

If my fiancee gets denied for the B-1 visa will that affect the K1 visa??

Two things here:

1. You will miss 100% of the shots you never take.

2. There are two types of answers to your question; what will be palatable here, and what you choose to do

 

It's up to you what you choose to do with this information, but it's free of charge.

Nobody here will make the call on a B2, you can only ask.

 

Seems you are both living together in presumably Albania, K1 seems an odd choice.

Your child, as a USC and with a valid US passport can come to the US anytime, without issue.

 

This does not apply to any non-USC relative.  There is no urgency here.

 

Honestly, it looks like you are trying to circumvent the queue for a visa.   Not smart.

Funny too how even here on VJ, there has been a need to pin a thread about how pregnancy is not a reason to expedite.   Must be pretty widespread misconception, along with the sponsorship for tourist visas.

I'm really not sure why people think pregnancy is reason for expedite. The (obvious) counter-argument is that the couples could have simply waited to get pregnant until after the immigration process is over and both people are inside the US together.

Exactly.  And if it was a reason,  it would be hugely unfair for any couple who cannot or choose not to have children together.

considering there is a pending k1 visa petition, b-1 will be denied based on the assumption that mother is intending to immigrate unless the mother shows strong facts that she will return back to home country.

Rights be damned.

Not sure what this refers to.  The only "right" when it comes to US immigration is the right for the USC/LPR to petition an eligible family member or fiance.  That's it.

 

Being the spouse/fiance of a USC does not in and of itself confer any immigration benefit.

Huh?  Dude.

 

I think you're missing something here:  a "family" need not include children.  You know that, right?  

Oh wow thanks, I didn't know that.
