No, you and the baby get sent back to your country of origin and you can apply for visas from there. You may have your request expedited because of the baby, but you still have to go back. There was a story on CNN just recently about this very issue.

You need to call Immigration and ask for sure but as far as I know the child is automatically an American citizen and you will be able to stay but you still must apply for citizenship the same as everyone else.

If you enter the US as a visitor, you can't stay in the US. You need to enter the US by using a fiance visa, then you can " live" in the US. But your child can stay in the US with your fiance since the child is his kid and the child has a right to get a citizenship here in the US. But unfortunately, you can't stay.
If you want to stay in the US, enter the US by an appropriate visa. And if you enter the US by visa waiver and stay here, you will be considered as an illegal immigrant.

A baby born in the US is automatically a US citizen. For you, however, it's a different story. A lot of paperwork and all that good stuff, but a having a chid in the US does not mean you can automatically stay.

the baby is then US citizen. u'd have to consult an attny about the mother. I think the mother would have to be treated as a regular visitor and return to her country of origin with her child on a US passport and visa if necessary. The mother may be granted special status and have her stay extended if the baby cant travel but thats about it .

i think its better for you and your child to go back to your country because being born in USA and given the nationality that its a must for the child to stay in USA

NO. Your baby can stay but you can not. Parents DO NOT get legal residency just because their kids are American citizens.
Mojojo has is all wrong! I if it was that easy, half of my family would have legal residency in the US.
This is one reason why some people support amnesty. Deportation separates families.

Not because of the baby. That's what all the illegal alien criminals from Mexico are crying. They pop out a kid here so that they can be a citizen and then say that they have the right to stay here because of the child. Sorry. The kid may have rights, but you don't.

No. The baby is a citizen but you are not. You would have to go back to your country and apply for citizenship.

U will be able to stay in the US and your baby will be an american citizen so they can't make the baby leave and if u take the us citizens test and pass u can stay. hope this helps
