exactly. As I said if you apply say 30 or 20 days early you can still travel with the current multi re-entry when "under consideration" for new extension.
Very much possible and I have the passport with stamps to prove it.
There is also post on the group as I did ask and got good advice from the admins here.
why would you buy multi re-entry as its valid only until the under consideration period.
I have left the country couple of times during the under consideration period with single re-entry permit. As Todd said it's ok as long as you are back before the stamp expires.
Buy multi re-entry only once you have the annual extension stamped.
If you tell them you need to take quick trip but will be back before the under consideration stamp expires they will sell you single re-entry.
Or if you apply but early and have previous extension with multi re-entry valid you can just travel as long as it's within the expiry of previous extension and you are back on the day you need to report back for your new extension.
If married when the child is born the father has parental rights as default. If not the father needs to apply via family court to get rights. DNA tests often involved etc.
As birth mother she obviously has the rights but this obviously defines what she can do without the father signature in regards to the child.
