she's pregnant

I have a question about the K1 visa. My fiance is pregnant, and I am worried that it will affect the fiance visa application negatively. Does anyone know if it will affect the application at all? Thanks for your help!

I know a fellow who got his (wife) not fiance pregnant....and he ended up getting his wife a pr visa to canada in record time.I think he more or less kept at immigration and contacting them saying that after 7 months the airlines would not allow her to fly and also that having a baby the airlines would also want that baby to be 3 or 4 months old to fly.I think this helped his application as he wanted his baby to be born in canada as a canadian...all i know is that he got his wife to canada in about 5 months which is very fast.
One would think that u.s. immigration would also take into consideration the future nationality of your child.For canada ..any child born anywhere on the planet is automatically considered a canadian if either the father or mother are canadian,but that would probably require proving that the father or mother are canadian.I doubt the u.s. approach is much different.
If i were you id put a ring on your fiances finger...i would,nt want my baby bieng born and living in a country where all id be is a visitor unable to be there ...because of work...finances etc... (unless your rich and can move to colombia and wait it out).Even then id marry the lady (now) because it would probably improve her chances of a successful application.Im sure there has been fiance aplications to the u.s. that were fraudulent and that fact alone means im sure they go over them with a fine tooth comb..IF it was my fiance and my child id want to be sure...but thats just me
best of luck.

Thanks my friend for the advice! In a perfect world I would hope that the situation would put a little more urgency in the process.....but I'm not holding my breath that her application will move any quicker. I will write a letter attesting to the fact that the baby is indeed mine, and then just hope that the process moves swiftly. Thanks again.

I don't know how far you are into the K1, but the pregnancy will have no affect on it. If she has the baby before the interview, that will require some more paperwork. Details - I don't know. But if your concern is that she will be pregnant during the interview, don't sweat it.

And marrying her will not improve your chances of her getting a visa or getting her to the US quicker. As a matter of fact, if you marry her, you will have to start over with a K3 visa. I respect your good intentions, but on this one, keep a steady ship and continue / go through with the K1 that you have started. Good luck.

Robert Jorge is correct-You might have to file an affidavit accepting paternity. If the baby is born in Colombia you will have to file and amended petition requesting a K-2 visa

If the baby is born in Colombia register the birth at the US embassy.

The pregnancy will not affect the speed of the process. Nor will it slow it down. I would attend her interview with her...especially in light of her condition. It shouldn't make a difference, but sometimes it does.

I know in my wifes case it helped.

BTW...congrats...
