I am pregnant, but my visa was cancelled and we are afraid I cannot come into the US to see my boyfriend or be with him. We do not want to get married just because of that... Can someone tell me if once we have the baby THEY HAVE TO let me in...? Since the baby would have both nationalities...

I suggest you get married, but even with that, if your husband petition you it will take 2 yrs for you to be able to come legally.
If your baby is born in outside the US the father can take him to the US embassy and make him a US citizen, but not you.

Your kid born to an American citizen is going to be an American citizen also. If the kid would born in the US that would mean automatic citizenship, but in your case you have to go through extra steps. You or your boyfriend should contact the American Embassy in your country asking what is the proper procedure in this case. I do not think there will be a problem with your baby's US citizenship as long as your boyfriend is the father on the birth certificate. However, with the baby born your visa situation will not change, in fact it might even get harder for you to get a simple tourist visa. Immigration will assume that because you have a US citizen baby and a US citizen boyfriend you will abuse your visa and overstay. If you happen to live in a country that is participating in the visa waiver program, you will not need a visa to come to the US, but you can only stay 3 months.
I think if you wish to live in the US find an immigration lawyer or have your boyfriend contact USCIS.

It's not necessary to consult a lawyer. You entered WITH INSPECTION so despite your visa being expired, you are eligible to adjust status due to your marriage to a US citizen. The Immigration and Nationality Act clearly states this, so do not listen to anyone who says you're not eligible. File forms I-130, I-485, I-864, I-693, I-765, G-325a. Once you receive the notice of receipt for I-485, then you are are legally allowed to stay until the final decision for your green card.

You have to have your child in the US for that child to be a US citizen. You will not be able to saty legally in the US even though you have a US child. That child can only sponsor you once it turns 21. There are fiance visas you may want to look into by going to the US immigaration site.

No, you'd have to be a resident or citizen. Who fathered your baby doesn't really matter. The father can apply for a "abroad delivery" if your baby is born outside of the USA, but not for you.

The baby has to be born on American soil to be granted citizenship and even that does not entitle the mother to automatic citizenship. Sorry.

They have to let the baby in if the father accepts the responsiblity, not you.

nope! the baby only gets citizenship if it is born in the u.s. you will have to get your boyfriend to come to your country.it will be super expensive to prove the father of the kid, and even then the kid has no special claim to citizenship.oh, by the way HA HA

Nope. They will have to let your child in when he's an adult.
