US immigration options

[sammymax]

I'm completely new to this but here goes. (Obviously) I want to move to the US to be with my US partner. I'm female, he's male and we will not be getting married.

We will be trying for a child when I visit next month for six weeks. If I am lucky enough to fall pregnant and have the child (most likely in the US) what is my status?

I work for a UK company and can take my work anywhere in the world. We have paid for office space in New York (which we don't use - it's mainly there as an address for US clients) and about half of our clients are US based. My boss intends to move to the US herself in several years and set up the company there too. What are my options for a work related visa and what sort of things can I suggest to my boss that we can do?

Any advice on where to start looking will be gratefully appreciated.

The affect on your status....nil. The child will be a US citizen, but not an anchor baby...it won't allow you to live there just by virtue of the baby's nationality (otherwise every person with a US visa and plane ticket would make sure their kid's born there so they can also stay...like they did in Rep. Ireland). If you're not married to the fella...there's little chance of yor partner being able to sponsor you (like....spouse visa). If the baby is born outside the US...he/she will be entitled to US citizenship: http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/vi ... birth.html and http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/vi ... mmrel.html for spouse visas.

So, your options...if you can get a work-sponsored visa....that's all I can see.
