@d_rampat I understand your situation. Will the children have a passport when they travel out of Columbia and of what country? UK or Columbia? I do not know who @newacct is and whether they have any direct experience in securing legal rights of an international surrogacy born child? @d_rampat...

Are you currently in India with the child? You should contact the US Consulate and share this link with them as seems the US State Department is more aware and accommodating of these issues now than when me and my children had the same issue. First try the direct route, see what they say. Each...

It took me over 8 years to get my child legalized as no laws existed but we (me and a few other aggrieved parties) raised our voices enough to get noticed. Seems like the US Government has recognized the loopholes in the laws which affects innocent children born through Surrogacy and have...

@Ashish Deshmukh, Just ask the US Consulate under whose jurisdiction you come in and request a letter from them. Also, if none is needed, they will instruct you on the next steps both with Airlines at the POE. The last thing you want is to return from the Airport or from the US with an infant...

exactly what cafeconleche said, make sure you don't fall into the AP trap. get back to the US before 1 year expiry, get the physical green card of the child in hand and then roam about as you need to. all the best!

looks like you are in good shape where the mother can bring the child with her to the US. How long has the mother been outside the US on LPR?

Are you both the biological parents of the child? If so, just follow the steps outlined at top of this thread. All the best!

@sweet15...thank you for your wishes and I pray for the best.

except in my case, I need a mother who is LPR also and thats what I dont have.

yes, you are correct. I did get my GC through AOS. thanks for the clarification.

Hi JackOLantern, Appreciate all your responses. Someone reviewed the text in 9 FAM 42.1. N1.1 and the clause reads as follows: 9 FAM 42.1 N1.1 Child Born After Issuance of Visa to Parent (CT:VISA-1173; 03-30-2009) The child born after the issuance of a visa to a parent is not...

Hi JackoLantern, I appreciate your response. You are absolutely right that this case is very complicated and borders on lines of morality and ethical behavior. I have been following you for several years on this forum and value your opinion and research. I knew about this special...

Hello JackOLantern, You have validated my worst fear. Baby is already here and I am in India taking care of the baby. After all, one cannot shrug off their responsibilities simply because law has not caught up yet with technology. What I want is a good lawyer. Maybe Mr. Rajiv Khanna can...

Hello JackoLantern: The understanding that the birth giving mother should be LPR. In this case who is the mother? the donor or surrogate? and there are plenty of caselaws to show surrogate as the mother. In this case, neither the donor nor the surrogate are LPR. So how does the LPR father get...

Child born outside US Hi BigJoe5, thank you very much for the response. The biological father's sperm was used to have the child. So to state clearly, father is a LPR, went to India, used his sperm. Had an anonymous egg donor and a surrogate and had the child through IVF. Now how do you...

What if a gay father on US LPR wants to bring their child to the US born to a donor and surrogate in India. There is no biological mother in this sense. Is it possiblefor the LPR father to bring the child to the US? Kindly refer to the following document...

Also, if the parent, especially the mother is on green card, then there are some 'special circumstances' and you need to act fast. As Jackolantern asked, what is the immigration/USC status of parent and specifically the mother. HTH

Hi Ravinka, 1) You will be eligible to apply for your GC after you have completed 4 years and 9 months as a resident of US. so it will be sometime in 2012 for you. 2) I dont know when you plan to bring your child, is it now in 2010? as long as it is the child's first trip back with the...

thanks for the website...i was hoping to get some 'personal recommendations' from people on this forum who themselves or someone they know of may have personally used the lawyer's services. thanks!

Hello kcr, i came across your post on 'child born outisde US to LPR'. you mentioned that you got a document from US consulate in Delhi. can you please share this? also, i wanted to know if you had hired a lawyer or is the process pretty straight-forward? based on my understanding, here is...
