Is a fiance or marriage visa a better path if getting pregnant during the application process?

Birth citizen of the US.

To transmit US citizenship to your child if they are born abroad: 

For birth on or after November 14, 1986, the U.S. citizen parent must have been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for five years prior to the person’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of 14.

 

You should be fine… you’ll just have to go to the Swiss Embassy to report the birth if your future wife has her child in Iran.

he posted he is USC

There are still parameters to meet for USCs to be able to pass on citizenship.

Hello. Do you know of additional information besides what Redro shared?

No.  She posted an explanation of the rule, as well as a link if you want to read more.

 

I was responding to the other poster.

 

Your process is likely to take several years, compounded by the fact that the US does not have diplomatic relations with Iran.  Your partner will want to make sure she is okay with potential single parenthood during that time.

Hello what a great idea to have a child with the one you love but however its not going to make a difference as far as the process it's the core evidence itself yes having a Birth Certificate as part of your evidence is a strong piece of evidence but shouldn't be thought of as a guaranteed approval .I have  a friend who petition his fiancee from the Philippines she became pregnant and they had no issues then on the other hand I know people who are married with multiple children and get denied CR1  .

I would say that having a child that is a US citizen and has a US passport before the wife's visa interview is a positive overall. Our child was born when my wife was 30 and I was 56. When our daughter was a about 9 months old we went to the US embassy and got her a US passport. Then about a year and a half later we applied for my wife's visa. Took about 14 months to get the visa.  Very easy interview. Considering the age gap and the fact that I had been married a few times before to younger foreign women. 

On a side note I had to get a DNA test to prove the child was mine. I was told by the embassy that they probably wouldn't have required the DNA test if I had been married to my wife at the time the our child was born. Also I moved to and  lived with my wife and child in Colombia shortly after our child was born and stayed there until my wife got her immigrant visa.

I'd say it is irrelevant to approval of a visa.

We went the K-3 with my wife. During the wait for an interview she became pregnant and barely beat her giving birth by 3 months. Unless your wife gives birth no adjustment, or paperwork, should be needed.

Wow I do not think I have seen a K3 here in a decade

I'd say that having a biological child with your foreign wife goes a long way to proving intent and that the relationship is real.  Or you can bring lots of photos and correspondence.....I hear that works as well. 

 

This was my third foreign wife interview at a US embassy in my life and only two questions were asked. Both directed to my wife. 1) Do you know how many times your husband has been married? and 2) Where do you plan on living in the USA?

Thankfully she knew both.

My fiance and I are both almost 43 and want a child very much. By the time a visa is given, it may be too late to start a family. How does getting pregnant/having a child during the application process affect the process? Does anyone have experience with this? Would it be better to apply for a fiance or a marriage visa if we may get pregnant/have a child during the process?

Just get her to you. 
doesn’t matter. 

paperwork will always happen. 
just be together

That is a very short-sighted comment, imho.  The immigration process REQUIRES a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  Otherwise, disaster and heartbreak can soon follow.  It DOES matter which route is chosen, especially if the new immigrant needs to work, etc.
