Baby due before process is approved

[ScottnCati 0]

Hi Everyone

My wife and I are expecting our first baby, and she is filing her application for citizenship this week. I do not expect her application to be approved before the birth of our baby.

How will the USCIS react to this? Do we tell them in the Interview or sometime before?

thanks in advance

Congratulations!

You tell them at whichever the next step is after the birth. They will want to see the birth cert with both your names on it.

Not given the due date, can get an idea from others in your area about the average processing time, may even want to wait. In particular if this is your first born child. Will have your hands more than filled with a new baby, can practically guarantee, neither of you will get a good night's sleep. Depends on how far your nearest field office is, may have three trips, biometrics, interview, and the oath ceremony. The studying for that civics test. And whether both you and spouse are working.

Some came here without even a baby sitter, is this your situation? Money can also be an issue depending on what kind of health insurance you have. Lots of variables to consider, just can't make assumptions. With marriage, that birth certificate is an excellent form of evidence. If you have that ten year card, no reason to rush. With that ROC, have no choice, do with US citizenship.
