I am F-1 Visa holder and I am expecting a baby. The father is an American Citizen but still a minor. I am just wondering if there's any programs or help I could get.

This is very urgent and important and I don't need any rude comments.

  1. what kind of programs do you refer to? as someone else mention your school should offer health care for really cheap plus you should have insurance already  


  2. If you have an F-1 then you are supposed to have health insurance while in the USA.  That should pay the prenatal costs.  Your health clinic on campus should offer services too.

    You have no right to an immigrant visa based on having the baby.


  3. As a nonimmigrant, your chances of qualifying for relief programs would not seem very good. Perhaps some private organizations might be willing to help, but very few, if any, Federal government agencies would have programs designed for aliens whose stays are supposed to be temporary.

    Perhaps there may be some generous programs in your state. The various states differ one compared to another. You may want to see what the state you're living in has to offer.

    If the father is a minor, you run the risk of being accused of statutory rape. You didn't mention your age, but you may not want to draw attention to yourself.

    Statutory rape---it illegal for anyone to engage in sexual intercourse with anyone below a certain age, other than his spouse. The age of consent varies by state, with most states setting it at age 16. The age of consent in other states ranges from ages 14 to 18.

    In that there are 50 states, it's hard to know what possible criminal charges you could be facing if the police gain knowledge of your situation.
