I am a US citizen currently living in Japan. I am seven months pregnant and plan on returning to the US to give birth. I would like my partner, a Japanese national, to be able to be with me during the birth. Unfortunately, per the US Embassy, we are unable to get a visa for him at this time and no time in the immediate future due to the COVID-19 situation.
My question is, if he comes to the US as a tourist with a 90-day stay, is he able to obtain a visa (K-1 or spousal) while he is already in the US, or would he have to return to Japan prior to applying? Any advice on the best way to go about this? Any help is greatly appreciated; thank you!
