F1 visa and pregnancy?

Don't take my word for it but I believe that if you get pregnant with an american baby, then you will be able to become an american and will get the same rights that we have.

Hi there,

I am wondering what would happen if you were studying in the usa on an F1 visa and became pregnant. Is it possible to study as long as you can then take a few weeks off for delivery and recovery then return to class without losing your F1 status?

Hi there. From what I have read online:

Your visa will neither be revoked nor will you have to leave the U.S.

Although F-1 status requires an intention not to immigrate to the U.S., having a child born in the U.S. will not be a problem as long as you remain a full-time student. Also, since your child cannot sponsor you as a parent until the child is 21 years of age, there is no problem with having an intent to immigrate to the U.S.
