Don't try to have the baby in the USA. For one, I doubt we will let you visit your fiance while 8 mos pregnant. Second, the baby will derive US citizenship through his/her father. And third, your better off having the baby in Canada with the health care system. Steven would know the proper paperwork needed through USCIS.

If you have the baby in Canada, just go to the closest US consulate after it's born and register birth abroad. He/she will be a US citizen, and will be able to get a US passport.

Yeah, have a look at http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.go ... abroad.asp it's all on there. The baby derives US citizenship through the father, better to be born in Canada from the sound of your circumstances. Because you've got the problem in reverse if the baby is born in the US.
