Yeah, actually we are thinking about kind of pausing my wifes visa until her
daughter gets hers I-130 approved now. I didn't know about the 6 month
window they had for the visa to enter.
The father on the other hand, not only didn't acknowledge my wifes
pregnancy resulting from him but was never named on the birth certificate.
Thank You So much.
