My wife got pregnant for another guy while we are married

[papppyjay]

Hello,
my PD was 3/20/2019, MY EAD 10/22/2019 interview is 01/2020. I married my wife july 2018 but while we were still dating we had misunderstanding and she cheated . We got married 2 months later, she never knew she was pregnant until 2 months after marriage. It was a difficult time for me but thank God we settled. We almost separated. I happened to be only child of my parents and did not know my dad until i was 17 years. it was a bad experience for me. I do not want my wife to give birth to a child that will not know his father just as it happened to me so decided to parent this child and hopefully i can adopt him.
But my question is, what are the consequences of my decision at the interview? I love my wife and i dont want to loose her. Please advise me

It's up to you whether you adopt the child or not. It shouldn't matter to your situation. The key is proving you had a bona fide marriage to your wife.

I highly doubt the IO will ask who fathered the child. You may wanna chat with a family lawyer on the adoption part though.

I would worry about what she is going to say during the interview. In fact, is she even going to attend the interview? To me the story seems pretty screwed up.
Now, the fact she is bearing a child from another man is a bad thing. It may imply that the marriage is not bona fide i.e. she married you to get a financial support. Get a lawyer

There are no consequences, you got married after the pregnancy but before the baby was born. She’s your wife and she gave birth after thus the child is basically yours. There’s nobody who can tell two married people that a child is not there’s or that what you did was wrong. I’m happy to know they’re still good people in the world and you’re willing to raise a child that’s biologically not yours. However if uscis does ask at the interview let them know the truth. There’s nothing here to lie about either. I wish you all the best on your journey and I hope you’ll both do a great job raising that child in the right direction.

If you are still married to her when the child is born and your name is in the birth certificate you are the legal father in every state and in Federal law. In a few states you can take action after the child is born to remove your paternal responsibility.

Nothing more needs to be done from an AOS and removal of conditions perspective.

Of course if either of you tell the interviewer the baby isn’t really yours, that could delay things.

Exactly. I will not let them know it the truth. Father never knows it if that baby is his until he can makes a simple test after baby born. Of course it’s can make a test while the baby is in the womb but it’s very expensive and not worth it

OMG, this is the worst advice. If the IO ask any questions about the baby and whether or not the baby is yours, you need to tell the truth. If you lie, you may be found for fraud and will need a waiver.

You won’t know it until you have a DNA test. The baby might be also yours!!! Women’s have different day when she can have a baby and also can have a 2 eggs in the month. I will not a create a problem until baby born. That all.
Father is always a husband and obły court can change that order! It’s better to take own a cheap DNA test and check themselves, who’s is possibly a father!
IO will never know it until you told them at interview or the baby father want to custody on the baby. Until you not make a test. Everything is possible

That’s a tough situation, but it’s clear you’re making a decision based on love and commitment, which is admirable. As for the interview, honesty is key—be upfront about the timeline and your choice to raise the child as your own. Immigration officers focus on whether your marriage is genuine, and your willingness to stay and build a family together shows real commitment. Just be prepared to explain your situation clearly and confidently.
