QUESTION VISA FOR INFANT

Hi , my fiance and i arrived in the u.s. on jan5 this year and were married on jan13 we have already submitted our paperwork for the aos so we have all our noa's .we just discovered she is pregnant about 3 weeks ago (good news) but the bad news is my insurance will not pay for it=all estimates are around $18-22k if no problems .she has has health insurance in colombia that will pay for everything and really would rather have it with her doctor there - so if we decide for her to have the baby in colombia how difficult is it to get the visa for the baby to return to u.s. ..by sept when baby is due she should have her temp green card and advance parole .it is just something we are thinking about and just wondering if anybody has any thoughts or knows any similar experiences - thanks for you help .

Should Be... (utopiacowboy) no real problem.

1. While I do not think it necessary I would make sure she gets advance permission to travel before leaving the USA listing the reason as medical.

2. After the baby is born she will apply to the US Embassy in Bogota for a "'consular report of birth abroad." Since you are a US Citizen the child will be a US Citizen so no visa will be needed. At the same time she will apply for a passport (USA) for the baby which the embassy will issue.

3. There is paperwork involved like birth certificates, marriage certificate, etc. she will need to have. I think the US Embassy Bogotá web site has the requirements.

Sr. Cowboy-do you see another solution(s)?

Thanks gator , she will not travel untill she has the advance parole which should be in about another 60 days ,so we would make sure she has no problem coming and going .

No, I do not. I think your advice is impeccable, Sr. Gator.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.
