My husband and i got married last year, and we had a baby and now i am pregnant again and i have just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. both he and my son are US citizens, and when my baby is born in a few months, he will be too. for the past year and a half we have been living in the middle east where i have a residency until next month. My husband has been unable to find good work here, so we have decided that it is best that he goes back to the states to look for a job while we save some money so we can pay for my US immigration paperwork for my K3 visa.

the problem is, after my residency expires in Bahrain i will have to leave this country and go someplace else. It will take a while for my paperwork to go through and for me to get my K3 visa. my country of citizenship is egypt and i have no home or family there. my parents live in the UAE which is very difficult for me to get into. i went through h**l and back to get a visit visa that is valid for just one month to the UAE to visit my parents, so i know there is no way that i can stay with them there. I can not stay in bahrain because my residency cannot be renewed, and i have absolutely no place to stay in in Egypt.

I am wondering if there is some other immigration path my husband and i could take to get me to the states faster. It is not just for me, but my son and my unborn child are also at stake and they are both US citizens. Unfortunately my husband can't take my son with him because he would have no one to care for him while he went to work. so pretty much, im stuck in limbo for the next month, and after the 7th of september i will have nowhere to go. we cant afford an immigration lawyer, and we also have not had enough money to be able to start my paperwork yet.

  1. Your paperwork is only $355.

    You could look into Humanitarian Parole.  I don't think you'll get it because, technically, you're not inadmissible, but it might be worth a try...

    Humanitarian Parole

    What is Humanitarian Parole?

    The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security may, in his discretion, parole into the United States temporarily, under such conditions as he may prescribe on a case-by-case basis, for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, any alien applying for entry to the United States.

    Humanitarian Parole cannot be used to circumvent normal visa-issuing procedures, nor as an instrument to bypass preference immigrant visa availability or processing for refugee status. Absent urgent circumstances, unless all other legal immigration avenues (such as applying for a non-immigrant visa) have first been exhausted by an alien, parole will not be approved. Parole is an extraordinary measure, sparingly used to bring an otherwise inadmissible alien into the United States for a temporary period of time due to a very compelling emergency.

    Note that Humanitarian Parole can only be requested for persons who are outside of the U.S. Requests for Humanitarian Parole must be submitted to the following address:

    Department of Homeland Security

    USCIS

    Attn; Chief, International Operations Division

    20 Massachusetts Avenue, NW  Suite 3300

    Washington, DC 20529

    To expedite the processing, the use of express mailing is recommended.

  2. Actually if you and your husband have both been residents of UAE for more then six months you can apply for consular processing. You will need to have police clearances for All countries you have lived in for more then six months. Your husband should contact the American Embassy in the UAE and ask for them to help him. You need to start getting your paper work ready. Like your marriage certificates, birth certificate and what ever else they require and have it translated. It takes about 4 months to go through consular processing in some countries.  

  3. How can an unborn child be an America citizen ?I am just confused at how that can be seeing as how you are not even here ?  

  4. My first question would be if you residency is up next month, why did you wait until now to begin figuring this out?  Obviously you knew it was coming up, so I am not sure why you both had not figured this out earlier.  If your husband had found good work, how would you have stayed anyway?

    Maybe, possibly your husband needs to go to Egypt with you and try to find a job and a place for you to live.  The job market isn't booming over here either.  With only a month, I am just not sure there is anything that can be done that quickly.
