I submitted I-130 for my wife on 10/12/2011 and got the status updated that they filed it on 10/17/2011. From what I have read it is suppose to take 5 months for them to send the NOA2. When should I contact them as 5 months passed by 2 weeks ago?

Also another question, my wife is expecting and if she ends up having the baby there, what do I need to do to get them both here.

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

You file a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) for the child in order for it to be issued a US Passport. The process continues just the same for your wife.

Maybe wait until mid April, then go ahead and contact USCIS or a senator if you still haven't received anything by then. Even though it's supposed to be 5 months, I think 6 months would be a reasonable amount of time to wait before panicking. Perhaps they are just a bit behind.
