If child born in US (unmarried UK mom, US dad) can mom stay long-term with child in US to be close to dad?
Answer:
Contact an immigration lawyer. These laws are always changing. Have your child here in the states if you want your child to not have a problem with citizenship.
He sounds like a thug and you sound like an ilegal immegrant jumping *****. But thats not for me to say. Why dont yOU decide whatheer you want tro atay over here or over there and then take the leap of faith. at the moment you are counting on all british peiole and kaws spporting you but you are no better then yo0ur tramp boyfrien. Go for what have you got to lose...Not a lot from what I CAN TELL.;
I am sorry curious one I must have been in a bad mood the day I answered your question. I feel srry for you and my answer is why dont you spend as much time as the law allows in the us and then ask him to spend some time over here in the Uk? could be some sort of a solution.
my advice to you is that if he wouldn't want to live in uk then he should marry you so that you can have the legal rights to stay in US. If not take you child and go live in UK and work to take care of him. Everyone has a past and we must move on no matter what.
He can be in US and he will pay you child support there in UK and you can work in UK too and make money too.
unfortunatly there's not much you can do.
You have to be married to be legal.
If you stay in the us you will be illegal untill your child turns 18 and can sponsor you to have your green card.
In my opinion the man is using you and has no plan in marrying you ,why stay with a person who obviously doesn't care much about your legal status?
There are ways but they are much harder. You would not be entitled to enter the green card lottery since you are British.

I've no idea why he wouldn't want to live in the UK, I would recommend a short while for everyone. If you have you child in the UK the CSA can still claim the one child fee, 15% of his earnings, even if he is in the USA, most states now have this agreement.
Kick him in the curb. You and him will not getting any better because of your situation here in America.
Unfortunately I think the only way that you could legally stay over there is to be married to the father. But since he doesn't want to get married - then he wouldn't be able to stay in the UK either - it just wouldn't be an option. The good news is though that your child will be an American citizen (and most probably British too) which means that they can freely go back and forth anytime they like - hopefully dad is willing to pay for lots of holidays. :-)
Your child will give you no right at all to stay in the US even though he or she will be a US citizen. Your child can petition for you only when he or she is an adult and is able to support you financially. The only workable solutions are either a marriage based visa, K-1 or K-3, or, if you have the skills and qualifications, a work based visa for yourself.
