Pregnant Wife under F2A

[ericbrian 2]

Hello Good day!!

My wife is 3 mos. Pregnant from now, her priority date will be on Jan 2010, there is a great chance she will give birth in Philippines, my concern is that when her visa becomes available and she already given birth to our child, how can i bring my child together with his/her mother?

Your replies will much be appreciated!! Thank you!!

after the baby is born you will need to do some fast work to get them on the petition.

No need to worry, she will be fine and she can take the baby with her once the visa become available, we are on the same boat. My PD is May 2009, I gave birth last Dec 14, 2010. Our case has been completed and Forwarded to Manila US Embassy, unfortunately retrogression came so I need to wait. I contacted US Embassy in Manila and told them I gave birth then they asked me to send copy of my son's birth certificate for him to be included as my derivative beneficiary, now he is registered as derivative beneficiary under my F2A petition.

When your wife gave birth and her case is still in NVC just contact NVC and they will tell you what to do. Once the case is already in Manila Embassy just email IVManilaReplies@state.gov and they will ask you to send copy of the baby's birth cert.

Congrats!!!!

GOD BLESS!

Thank you so much, the information you told me is of really much help to me, And also i have another question your child is still one year of age, was it required for the child to apply for a PHL passport? Or the embassy just require the Birth Certificate?

God bless you too! Mabuhay!

With all due respect, why wouldn't a child have its own passport regardless of its age? If they're leaving one country to immigrate into another, I'd expect for the passport to be a requirement. Where do you think they'll place immigrant visa on - child's forehead?

Pre, i just want to ask, F2A and she's married and having a baby? If im not mistaken F2A is for unmarried child under 21. Please correct me if im wrong on this case.

Q: Can the children of an immigrant visa applicant be included in a single petition?

Children of American citizens are considered Immediate Relatives (IR) and must have individual petitions filed for them. Petitions for immediate relatives may be filed simultaneously at the USCIS.

Children of applicants with family-based petitions (F category) may derive immigration benefits from the same petition provided that they are single and under 21. Such children are called “derivatives” for purposes of immigration. Only biological or legally-adopted children are entitled to derivative status. A non-orphan adopted child must have been legally adopted before the age of 16 and must have been in the physical and legal custody of the adoptive parent for at least two years.

A child born after a petition was filed and approved may be registered or added on to the petition as a derivative. The principal applicant needs to submit the child’s birth certificate printed on NSO paper either to the NVC or to the Embassy and pay the corresponding visa processing fee for each additional derivative.
