More details to this question:
I have recently become a Green Card holder after waiting 8 years. Since getting my Green Card I have married a Finnish National. She is now pregnant - I am trying to find a financial living here in the US with my natural mother and step father. If my wife gives birth while in the US, does this give my wife and child any status preference?

If you wife gives birth in the US the child is a U.S. Citizen. You wife does not derive any immigrant benefit from her giving birth in the U.S. since would have the same status that she had when she arrived.

The child is automatically an American citizen but mother of the child no.
