Pregnant

[jerzboi 0]

If I ever needed some help it would surely be now, not only did I receive the good news on Friday August 17th that our petition was approved, but also received the news from Eve on Saturday that she is pregnant. Will this have any affect on her K-1 visa when she goes for the medical or interview? Someone told Eve that this is going to cause us a problem please tell me this isn’t so!!!

This isn't so. Pragnancy is not a problem at the medical exam.

And, if congratulations are in order then the pregnancy is no problem at the interview.

Thanks smoke & pushbrk we were both scared to death, we thought we would have to withdraw our K-1 get married and then start the K-3 process. Pushbrk thanks for the congrats!! So I guess we just continue the process as normal.

Wheww what a relief !!

Congratulations!

Here is some reference information for you:

\ slb \ SERVICE LAW BOOKS MENU \ OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS \ OI 214 Nonimmigrant classes. \ OI 214.2 (k)

http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?...6e567466bdcae3a

OI 214.2 (k)

(k) Fiancees and fiances of United States citizens.

(2) Discrepancy found in beneficiary's marital history or minor children reported; or beneficiary found ineligible for visa. When the beneficiary's marital history or situation with respect to children is found by the American consul to differ from that set forth in the approved "K" petition, or where the consul finds the beneficiary to be ineligible for an immigrant visa on a ground that could be waived under section 212(g) , (h) , or (i) of the Act when the beneficiary marries the petitioner, the consul will return the petition with a memorandum of his findings directly to the district director who approved it, so that the latter may review the propriety of the approval. However, if the beneficiary is found to be pregnant, the consul may ascertain from the petitioner, either by direct communication with the latter or through the district director, as circumstances may require, whether the petitioner is still willing to marry the beneficiary. Where the consul himself ascertains that the petitioner is willing, the consul will either attach the relating correspondence to the petition or, if the petitioner appears at the consulate in person, will have the petitioner appropriately note, initial and date the petition.

When it has been ascertained that the petitioner is still willing to marry his pregnant fiancee, and she gives birth to a child with no serious physical or mental defects prior to her departure for the United States, the consular officer may issue a K-2 visa to the child without referring the petition to the Service for amendment. In such a case, the consul should insert the name, date, and place of birth of such child in the appropriate block of the Form I-129F. If, however, the child does have a serious mental or physical defect, the consular officer will ascertain from the petitioner, either directly or through the Service, whether he is still willing to marry the beneficiary and whether he wishes the child to proceed to the United States.

When the consul returns a petition, the district director shall have the petitioner interviewed to determine whether or not the latter, in the light of the new information, is still willing and able to marry the beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of section 214(d) of the Act. If it appears that the petition should not have been approved and the petitioner declines to withdraw it, the district director on his own motion should reconsider it and enter an appropriate order. If it is determined that the petition was properly approved, any required corrections should be initialed and dated by the petitioner and the "Remarks" block of Form I-129F noted by the district director to show an extension of the petition's validity to a date 4 months thereafter. The petition (if its approval is reaffirmed) or notice that the petition's approval has been revoked or the petition is not being revalidated (as appropriate) should thereupon be sent directly to the American consul unless return to the central Office or to the Visa Office has been directed. For the district director's action in the case of an eligible beneficiary requiring section 212(g) , (h) , or (i) relief, see subparagraph (3) below.

Basically, the embassy wants to confirm that (1) you are aware of the pregnancy and (2) you still want to marry your fiancee within 90 days of entering the U.S.

Perhaps you could address this with a properly worded letter of intent to the embassy?

You are all FINE! The medical exam is to make certain she does not have any infectious diseases. Pregnancy is hardly that!

Sounds like you only helped to create proof the both of you maintain a valid and true ongoing relationship!

Congratulations and keep yourself!

Congrats on the pregnancy! The only problem she will encounter during her medical is the vaccines like MMR and Varicella as these cannot be given to pregnant patients (she can have it after her pregnancy or they may advise her to have these in the U.S.), aside form that, I think there will be no problem with your petition.

What would we do without you wonderful people (probably spend thousands on a lawyer) helping us. I will send a notarized letter for Eve to take to the interview stating I am aware of the pregnancy and I am the biological father with plans to get married within 90 days of her arrival.

Thanks all for your congrats

My wife met a woman who was pregnant during the interview process. I do not believe it was a problem. She arrived in the USA about the same time as my wife.
