I am on a H1b visa and I have just found out that I am pregnant. Is there any way that I can apply for Permanent Residency because of this??? Can having a baby here help your chances of staying??? :confused: :confused:

Thank you
 
It would not increase your chance by any means. Your kid, if born here, can apply for your GC only when he or she turns 21, in addition to proving that he or she is financially strong enough to support the dependent applicant. So unless you plan on waiting for another 20 years, I dont see it happening.
 
He'll be a us citizen, but that wont help you at all. Yous till have to mainting ur H1 status..unlesss you marry the father...

I'm also on a H1b and pregnant. My concern is that the pregnancy leave offered by my employer is not long enough for my needs. If I quit my job just before the birth, what other visa options do I have? Or is pregnancy leave my only option to stay in status?

My partner is also on a H1b and will continue working.

I'd like to keep working as long as possible to save for a house in my home country.

Thanks for any advice!
