Years ago that was the case. I'm seeing more and more now do just what you asked about. We had many on here years ago that were very clear that the minute you had immigrant intent that was it for renewing or getting a TN visa. I do not know if that was a fear drilled into them or if it was legit. SO I would say anything is possible.

Me too, my mother was one that the government thought is was cheaper to send her I think it was Traverse city then to bus her to Toronto for a MRI. She has all expenses paid to go there spend a few days and back.

They used to do it all the time pre 911 when they would rotate services and doctor's schedules. Now days this would not be the case.

~~Thread moved to AOS from Work, Student and Tourist Visas, from K1 P&P - the OP's wife is adjusting from humanitarian parole. Please stop posting in the AOS from K visa forum if you would like appropriate replies.~~

I forget what country they are from. Depending on the Country you will also need the Mother to give up her parental rights. Not all countries take away parental rights when the other parents get custody, the birth parents still have rights. If this is the case it is another step that need to be taken. The thread linked above did not have to go down that path as the PI has a different set of laws when it comes to custody for single mothers. My husband also wanted to adopt my kids and get them USC faster and as early as possible. But adoption for us was not an option as Canada makes it almost impossible to get the other parents parental rights removed.

If she also gets Canadian citizenship then all of your future kids can be dual Can/US. The ones born in the US just will not be able to pass on Canadian citizenship to their kids unless born in Canada.

You mentioned giving birth with doctors and health care you trust in the US vs in Canada. While I do not have experience in every state but as someone who had given birth in Canada to 4 and 2 in the US. I would take the Canadian health care vs the US health care regarding birth in a heart beat. Plus she lives in a great area for top level health care. In the US I felt like a number, I actually changed doctors because the other one was talking about scheduling my induction date before I was even pregnant. I hate to say it but she will have better care and more options in Canada for pain management, midwives if she wants and recovery. She will be lucky if she gets much care after the birth of the child and not completely ignored by the staff in the US. In a country that everyone wants to sue a doctor, they tend to want to control everything and that tends to lead to C-sections. Oh and the likeliness that she will get the same OB to deliver that she has had care from is pretty low. They rotate and she most likely will deliver with a doctor she has never met. By the way I lived on a border town when I lived in Canada, the amount of USC having their babies and going to prenatal care was super high on the Canadian side. They said it was just better and not because of dual citizenship either. I feel she wants you to be a bigger part of this and she may think it is better to drive back and forth to the US for OB care and delivery. Yes it is legal but the border can deny her entry at any point. OB's also do not have to take on a patient in the US they can refuse to see her. It would be better to keep all care in Canada and in the long run so much cheaper for you. Even if you traveled to every appointment.

Good point

~~MOved to General Immigration Discussion, from AOF Family K1/K3- as the OP is well past the AOS stage.~~

I was actually asked the date we would get married. I just replied that it would be as soon as we could get a JOP booked. She was happy with that.

~~2yr old thread locked to further replies. THe OP has not been back in over a year.~~

A member sent in a report about the DCF guides not being accurate. The guides need updating. If members can post here the requirements to qualify for DCF it would be useful to be able to update the guides.

I will, we are waiting on a referral now.

Yes he did this as she was still a 2yr GC holder. The step mom here said they were granted custody, not adoption.

~~Thread moved to US Citizenship General Discussion - as the OP is asking if ROC is needed for a child if the other parent naturalizes.~~

Yes you will need to file for ROC for the child just like the the father. If the Father gets citizenship the child must have roc pending or already have his 10yr GC to be able to derive US citizenship when the father naturalizes. It is very unlikely the Father will get through the n400 process before the child's 2yr GC expires. You will need GC to send in with the fathers certificate to get a US passport. Also what visa did your husband enter on. Was it actually a K3 a spouse visa (as this is vary rare) or was it a K1 (fiancé Visas)?

~~Thread locked to further replies the OP also posted in the Mega thread~~
