Haven't been around the site for a few months as I have been buried at work. Need some advice! Facts: - wife is US citizen and her unmarried adult daughter in China is now just 24 days away from an F1 visa slot. [F1 China line has moved forward VERY slowly recently, only 7 days in the past 4 months.] - daughter is almost 34 years old, engaged and anxious to start a family (wants to have a baby before she gets "too old" and by Chinese standards she and future mother in law and her mother all think she is already "too old". Lol). She is also trying to line up a job in USA, but is not sure what to tell potential employers about vacation travel plans as she wants to get married ASAP. Questions: 1. Assuming her visa slot date comes up in the next several months, is there any way she can get her Green Card while in China (e.g. Without actually coming to USA) so she can then get married in China as soon as she gets green card approval? Then come to USA? 2. If not, then she will need to come to USA to physically get her green card and credentials. Assuming this is the case, is it better (better being defined as faster for her future husband to be reunited with her) for her as new green card holder to (a) return to China to marry, (b) bring fiancée to USA to marry (he has a tourist visa so I am thinking that will be a huge problem), © bring him to USA on tourist visa and marry on a cruise or in Caribbean country outside USA. He would then return to China to his job to await his green card. They don't care about big wedding, just whichever way can get him here fastest with his green card that won't create any issues or risks. They want to start trying to have a child as soon as they are married as she is concerned that age 34 (or later) is "old" by Chinese standards to have a healthy baby. On a related question, when she finally gets here she might not have a job (or a full time job with benefits) right away. Any suggestions for medical health insurance policies I can buy that might also cover maternity costs? Would she be eligible for an Obama care subsidy? Not sure if she will be living with us or in another city with better job opportunities yet but she is too old for me to add to my work policy as a dependent. As always, thanks for help and suggestions, True Blue
