Visa status for my kid

[Abby helson]

Hi,this is Abby,currently am on h4 visa ,butwe are not living together and neither we are divorced,am staying with my boyfriend and we planned a baby together,so if my baby is born before I get divorced,what visa status will my baby hold..??

Currently, your baby will be a US citizen if born here, no matter what your status is. That however, will mean nothing to you. Despite the use of the term "anchor baby" in the media, the parents get no special consideration because their child acquires US citizenship. Of course, you are flirting with being illegally present (in fact, separated people may be determined to be so even without divorcing), so I would be getting myself to an immigration attorney pronto.

Your husband, if living in the states, will also be considered the father of the baby.
