A close friend of mine is seeking advise regarding her case.

Any help will do

Thanks,

Loryn

Here's an excerpt from her e-mail:

Our EB3 petition (PD Feb. 2006) is now current and if things go
uninterrupted,let's say we get our Packet 4 and visa by July this
year. So we have 6 months left (till Jan. 2009) to stay here in PH.
I'm pregnant and due November. So what if we decide to stay here
until I give birth, can I still bring my newborn to the U.S. and what
are the steps? Will the Embassy grant my baby an immigrant visa as
well?

You might suggest that we should migrate instantly upon receiving
our visas and have the baby born in the US to avoid such problem.
How I wish it was that easy. Due to financial reasons, it would be
less expensive for us to have the baby born here and at the same
time, my husband's employment contract will expire by December.

you can bring your baby provided that you have the necessary papers because the consul wanted to verify that it is really your baby not someone's baby from relatives.

As your friend is pregnant right now, I was wondering if she would be able to clear her medical examination before her visa interview?
Thanks

Are there any articles from NVC or USCIS that can help her validate your
suggestion so she can be guided accordingly?

I'll keep you posted once she's done with her interview but right now, no schedule yet. In her case, I don't see any problems as long as she mentions that she is pregnant during the medical exam.

I have heard that their are some shots you got to take during your medical and you are not suppose to get those shots when your pregnant. I m not 100% on that.

Being pregnant has never kept anyone from getting a visa for the US. It is not contagious and it is not a disease.

We see it all of the time.

You never are required to get something that could injure the fetus.
Please check out the requirements for getting a visa and the requirements for the medical and you will not see one thing that states that someone is pregnant that they are prohibited for coming to the US.

That is why you also see so much written about having a baby added to the visa as well.

Never an issue.

Hi Suzanne, with the above case of my friend, will she
still able to bring her baby to the US based on her stated
case? What are her chances and options if she proceeds
with such setup?

Have never seen one infant be stopped from coming with the parents provided that the visa bill is able to be paid at the time of the interview.

You can call the US Embassy to get a list of what you will need to bring for the baby at the time of the interview.
