ok, my apologies, I didn't get the connection to the prior post.
1. Better to marry than to live in sin. Spank.
2. I think the immigration attorney is a better option than leaving the country. I would be very surprised if leaving the US citizenship would be required to gain residency or a work permit. US embassy folks are really good at helping born and unborn US citizens to navigate the local laws, and normally swing a big bat. What a hoot, to work for a US embassy as you work out your wife's immigration status.

I remain with status to return to Federal employment. But, the Embassy? There would be a "conflict of interest" I am sure.
Besides, why would I want to send tax on earned income back to the United States? It could be better used to support my wife and child when born. Besides, after I renounce my United States Citizenship I may then work for the government over there.
And, hey, we've already blown over forth thousand dollars (US$40,000.00) on attorney fees. Just not going to fight it any more. The fight to remain is not worth it. It's just simply shocking to know there are over 375,000 illegal immigrants who have deportation papers and who are on the run within our borders; a very large percentage of these have attached felony criminal convictions from here or from where they crawled from. The number of terrorist sleepers is unknown. But, my Government, rather than chasing the bad guys down, decides to EXILE my UNBORN CHILD. An easy hit I would say, as real cakewalk for those who should be doing the real work of ridding criminals and terror suspects from our Country.
RightWhale:
Yup, that government is signatory to the U. N. Declaration; but, they are not signatory to the Hague Convention in regards to "international child abduction".
