Do I include my newborn on Affidavit of Support?

Hi guys, my Fiancee and I just had a baby. Being a citizen, my children are entitle to citizenship through me. So, I have set up a date for my baby's birth to be reported and to get all the neccesary stuff and it is my Fiancee that his taking him. My question is, when I fill out an affidavit of support and all other documents that require the list of dependants for my fiancee, do I put my newborn's name in it? I will be appreciative for any comments. Thanks!

Split from K-1 Visa interview thread about listing children on petition as this is a different situation and may get lost and go unanswered in the other thread.

Yes you have another mouth to feed and are now a 3 person home not a 2 person home. Hopefully that doesn't impact your ability to be the sponsor.

YES

ALL dependent children MUST be listed on the I-134 as dependents, it does not matter their citizenship or where they live. Had your fiancee still been pregnant at the interview, you would NOT have listed the child

For clarification this means that even if you have children from a previous marriage, that live with your ex and are claimed as dependents on your ex's taxes,and whether you pay child support or not...they MUST be listed as dependents for the I-134.

Actually you'll be listing your child as YOUR dependent, not your fiancee's but yes, of course.

Thanks everyone! Another thing, in DS 156, there is a place that ask if anyone is coming to USA with my fiance, does my fiancee needs to include my son's name?
