Hi all, Ive been reading through the last couple of days this helpful forum trying to come across some similar situation but no luck so far. So Ill try to keep it short:
Im an MD who has been dating a USC on an extended work assignment for over a year now. GREAT news, she is carrying our baby (pregnant), but bad news is that unexpectedly for us, her management decided to move her back to US.
Weve had talks about tying the knot before the baby and now we just want to stay together and start this family in the US.
So what do you think our best course of action is to accomplish all of the following...1) When and where to get married without affecting my travel to US capacity (I hold a B2 Visa with previous entries for visits to her hometown), 2) Move to live and reside in US, me getting GC. (baby to be born by the end of the year), 3) Apply for USMLE and follow a residency program in the US to continue my career as MD. (I got that covered). Mainly whats the right way for me to get a GC without being outside US and away from her and baby for too long.
Ive done my share of reading and please also help me understand some more, if the right way implies K1 visa, wouldnt processing timeline severely affect my chances of traveling to the US or even be present on my childs birth?
Thanks!
Tavus.
If she files the paperwork for the K1 visa this month, youll probably get it before the end of the year.
So apply for K1 and hope everything gets sorted out before baby birth... That sounds like a long shot of pure chance...
It is still your best option.

How to stay together? (B2 + USC w/baby on board)
