    Wife (GC holder) pregnant. Give birth in foreign country?

    Sure, COBRRA is an option, although it would cost upwards of $9000 just for insurance, then there is the 20% of the hospital cost on top of that. I found on some other sites that the child can be brought into the US without immigration papers as long as they are less than 2 years. The...

    Wife (GC holder) pregnant. Give birth in foreign country?

    We just found out we're having a baby. I am a US citizen. I was laid off from my job a couple weeks ago so I have lost health insurance coverage. My question is can my wife have the child overseas (Norway) and what is the process of doing that?

    My wife received her GC in July and she is wondering if it is possible for us to live temporarily outside of the US (in Norway), because of good job offerings. Is this possible or not?

    Approved!

    My wife was approved in Seattle yesterday:) We had a wonderful officer and the entire process took about 15 minutes. We applied for everything on March 28th and approved July 19th. That is 3 months and 21 days! Not too bad. It is possible to do with no lawyer, and good luck to everyone in this...
