My wife has dual citizenship to the US and Vietnam. When she became a U.S. citizen in 2017 we were childless, and still are. She is 45, I am 69. We lost a child at childbirth and could never conceive again. She so much wanted a child, and although we inquired into adopting, no organization we spoke with gave us any hope because of my age. Now her Niece in Vietnam is pregnant and only wants to keep the child if it becomes a male ( yes, I know that sound’s callous, but that’s nothing we can control…and no, they don’t have the opportunity to have a ultrasound to determine the sex). So the Niece knowing that my wife always wanted a daughter is willing to give up the baby to my wife to adopt if it is a girl. ( No money involved or offered). Just keeping the baby in the family. ( Please don’t judge, that’s not what we are asking for ). Does anyone have any known experience with this kind of situation? Any thoughts are appreciated….and yes, we know about the baby possibly being born with possible health concerns.

Thank you for that information Clancy! It just doesn’t seem fair that so many do this the right way and spend so much time and effort going thru the “legal process” (as we did with my wife’s K-1 visa from VN), and then the illegals coming into the US are being given amnesty and privileges as if it is free candy.☹️ Just wondering if there are organizations or efforts to demand court action for “legal” applicants. It is so amazing that news media reports that the illegals are being granted proposed entitlements and yet nobody mentions the impossible “wait times” of those that follow the rules.

My wife is from Vietnam. Came to US on K-1 in 2013….we married, she is now US citizen. She has filed for petition for her brother and sister to come to US…paid the fee too. Does it really take all those years for their possible petition to be considered? I don’t comprehend the topics or procedures on here at all, so forgive me for not being able to investigate accurately. I mean the fee is non reimbursed even if things change 15-20 down the road 😳…..can they even come over on just a tourist visa or something? Please if anyone can offer any particular helpful incite, please respond here, or please personally email me. (removed)
