when i married my husband from another country we thought the process would be very easy to go about it then i got pregnate and began the paper work but when he was coming to a doctors visit for my pregnacy he got deported and he had a passaport plus a b1/b2 visa all because the immigration officer was having sa bad day so being pregnate does not make the process faster for getting visas or paper worked processed. if he came in legal your best bet is to file an adjustment of statys providing that he has all his documentation like his I94. get your self a good immigration lawyer to help you with this process because I was not able to when i was expecting and had to go through the nine months of pregnacy alone plus having my baby alone was very scary because i too have had cervical cancer and almost lost my child during the pregnacy and then the labor alot of things went wrong for mee i do not mean to scary you. but I would not wish that on anyone. if he did every thing the right way more than likly they will not send him back but before you talk to immiration get a lawyer to advice you on the best plan of action because they know all the loop hole and thing to prevent deportation. Good Luck And best wishes on the new addition to your family

You don't give enough details about your situation to be able to provide an answer. It seems to me that he is living in the States now, but what is his status? Is he illegal, or is he here on a visa? If he is illegal, he may have to go back to his home country, and apply for immigration from there. Look at the INS website, (www.uscis.gov ) there is a lot of information there. Make sure that you do things properly because you don't want to jeopardize his immigration chances. He can try applying for a green card, but to do that from within the USA, he has to be here legally. You should be able to sponsor him for immigration, which means that he will not have to go on a waiting list. With a sponsorship, the waiting period is three months from the time the papers are filed. I can't emphasize enough to do this properly and legally.
Good luck, and please feel free to e-mail me, I have been through this process myself.

You know, I just had a look through all of your previous questions and see that you have been on Y/A since April 6th, only 2 days.
A couple of questions ago, you asked if it might help if you were pregnant to keep your hubby here. Now, this question, miraculously, you are saying you are pregnant. I think that maybe you are not all on the up and up.
Sorry. I think he needs to be deported and he should start all over again by maybe doing his immigration legally this time.

Theres only one question to ask. Is he here legally? If hes not then having a baby will not help you at all and if you just started his paperwork then that means that he will have to go back to his country and re-enter legally. If that is Mexico then he will be barred for 10 yrs before he can re-enter and then you will have to file a I-601 begging for his return. Otherwise you can file for papers here all day long but after 9/11 there is no longer a immigration process here for illegal immigrants. I know it seems so wrong when there are children involved but thats why we need reform for those who are hard-working parents.

1. Are you a citizen?
2. Did he ENTER the country LEGALLY?
My hubby is from England, so he was given a visa waiver when he bought his plane ticket, once we were married he could overstay his visa until we filed. He is now a permanent resident.
The main thing is that, from what we were told, he entered the country legally. It doesn't matter what kind of Visa, as long as it was legal, and I think you have to have been married before his Visa ran out, but I'm not sure about that one- we were married before his ran out.
PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT I WILL SAY NEXT!!!
When you call BCIS (INS), make sure you ask to speak to AN IMMIGRATION OFFICER, we had to pay a lot of money to send my husband back before his visa waiver ran out and then more to buy a plane ticket for him to come back- and we didn't really have to, but we were lied to by one of their reps who said he had to go back or get deported and not be able to come back for years. The people who first answer the phone are just reps, not Immigration Officers, and so you will often get incorrect info from them. They will ask you why you need to speak to an officer-they have to ask that- just say that you were given incorrect and damaging info by a rep last time you called, they may need you to give a general idea of what the issue is that you are calling about- tell them, but be adamant that you speak to an officer.
And ask LOTS of questions!
Good luck:)

well, if they were going to send him back while you were NOT pregnant, they will do the same thing even though you ARE pregnant. i just saw a special on Oprah with one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, and his wife was pregnant living in canada, and he was in the US....and...that was that. Oprah couldn't help him, nobody could help him. if being on a nationa wide talk show, with one of the richest ladies in the world won't do it....i'm guessing they aren't going to care about your situation. i'm really sorry, don't let it spoil your pregnancy. enjoy it anyways! talk on the phone, send videos, get family support. it sucks but you DON'T need this stress right now, you need to relax and just try to be positive.

In order to answer your question properly,I need more details.Was he illegal when you married him ? Did you marry in the USA or in his country ? In the meantime see www.uscis.gov. for further information. I will tell you one thing,you being pregnant will not get him his visa faster.
Edit: After looking at your other posts,I think he'll have to return to Mexico and you will have to fill out an I-130.....and that is just the beginning,good luck !

I don't see your pregnancy as protecting him, because they send illegal immigrants with children back all the time. You need to talk to the Immigration Department about this or an Immigration lawyer.

Lots of heads of household are deported. I don't know if your cancer puts your pregnancy into a different situation. However, head of household is not sufficient.

First and foremost, I feel badly about your cancer. Hopefully, you will be fine.
Second, if your husband is here illegally, he should be deported. I know this sounds harsh but this illegal immigration must stop.
My best to your health and to your blessing about to be created.
