Legal Question in Immigration Law in Wisconsin
Kind of visa given to a child given birth in USA
Dear Sir/Madam,
My husband and I came to America about 10 months ago. He has H1B visa (a kind of working visa for USA) and I have been given H4 visa. We are Iranian. I am pregnant now and my baby will give birth in Wisconsin.
I would like to know what kind of visa he/she will be given and if my husband visa and mine will be changed.
I would appreciate your cooperation.
Yours truly

Re: Kind of visa given to a child given birth in USA
Common question. The baby will be a US citizen automatically but there will not be a document given to her. Her birth certificate will show she was born in the US and hence a citizen. Your status and that of your husband will be unchanged just because you have a US citizen child.
Obviously you're not an illegal alien but many illegals here in California come to the US and have kids thinking it will benefit them (the parents) but it doesn't.

You Can Apply for adjustement of Status and Get a Green Card
Your child will be a US citizen. On the basis of that and on the basis of your H-1b visa you can apply for permanent resident status.
