New baby after interview

[Sameer Alomari 0]

Hello,

My name is Sameer Alomari, my wife is an American Citizen and we live together in Saudi Arabia, she filed I-130 for me and for my son, we had our interview on October, 30 2010, the officer requested a Joint Sponsor and a proof of petitioner's domicile in the USA in order to get our immigration visa.

We have collected the required documents and we will send it soon enclosed with our passports to get the immigration visa.

Please read the following situation carefully:

We had a new female baby on October, 25 2010, and we want to know how my wife should file for the infant? Is there any way to accelerate her application and to join it to our application? We intend to immigrate once we get the visa and we can't wait for the long processing time of the new application, we've planned everything to travel permanently to the USA, we are selling everything we have here in Saudi Arabia including our furniture and my car, I have formally resigned from my current job, and I have terminated my current apartment lease.

If the new application is not possible to be accelerated, is it possible to obtain a visitor visa for the infant? I know that non-immigrant visa applicant needs to show non-immigrant intent, but it is not possible! And we can't leave our daughter here!!! This is a Humanitarian situation, and we believe that this critical situation should be treated as an emergency case.

If a visitor visa can be obtained for the infant, we will adjust her status after entering to the USA.

Please, I need a detailed explanation to be able to take the right decision...

Thanks for helping...

Since your wife is a US citizen she can do a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. Read this link for more info http://travel.state.gov/law/family_issues/birth/birth_593.html

She will need to file CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) as the baby is a US citizen. The paperwork will mean you will get a passport and SSN for the child. She will not require a visa and you cannot take her to the US until you have her US passport. Having a US citizen arrive on a tourist or whatever visa I've been told is illegal.

Sameer,

As stated elsewhere, your wife will file an application for a CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) for your daughter. Please check the website of your local consulate for the particular documentation they require. Also check your local laws and see if she's eligible for dual Citizenship. She's eligible for a CRBA/ US Citizenship as long as your wife has met the US residency requirements. Check with the consulate to be certain, but I believe your wife must have lived in the US for at least 5 years, 2 of which must have been after the age of 14 (maybe 16?).

Hello,

Thanks for your response...

Actaully my wife is not eligible to file CRBA because she left the USA with her parents when she was 1 year old!!!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Sameer

Possibly submit an I-130 for the baby along with and expedite request based upon the already approved I-130 of yourself and your son? You may possibly want to ask at the consulate and see if they have any suggestions. I wouldn't think this is a totally unique situation.
