Child born after case closed but before interview.

[True615 0]

Hi everyone, I am the USC petitioner for a CR1 visa and I am pregnant. My husband is in Nicaragua and I am in the US waiting on the birth of our first child. I just received an email from the NVC that our case is complete. We were hoping that my husband would be here with me before my daughter is born but by the looks of it, the interview will probably be scheduled after the birth. My question is, if our baby is born before my husband's interview, will there be a problem since the DS 230 states that we do not have children? I don't even know if we would have her birth certificate in time to show to the officer at the embassy. Do we have to contact anyone about this? Should my husband mention the baby's birth at his interview? Please help. Thanks

Why would you need to inform anyone? The baby was born in the USA right? If you have the birth certificate for him to take a photocopy to the interview that would be good, but even some pictures with you and the baby. He can also mention that his new daughter is waiting for him in the USA at the interview. I don't know why he would keep it a secret?

The birth of your baby is further evidence of your bonefide relationship. I'd think you'd want to happily share the joyful news with everyone, including the embassy at his interview. My advice is to send what was mentioned above.

Where;'s your ultrasound he sound have had that at top of evidence and if born by interview pictures.

Also could you complete your timeline this sure helps us with stats.

And come on over to the case complete august interview thread. What is your case complete date. You said you got email what date cuz your case complete is 7 days before that date.

You will probably need an updated I864 because there is an addition to your household. Fill that out now so it is ready for the interview and it won't delay anything

good luck

Thank you all for your responses. Well my case was completed on July 18th and I received the email notification on the 25th. I doubt I will have my baby's birth certificate in time to send to my husband but I have been emailing him all my ultrasound pics. I believe I will prepare a new I 864 with the updated info, Thanks.

Would my husband have to prepare a new DS 230 with the updated child info? If so, wouldn't he need to present the birth cirtificate? Thanks to all of you for all your help!

P.S.: I've been trying to create my timeline but it keeps telling me it can't tell if I'm a member so I should add my member number. Where can I find my member number?

Yes, probably an updated DS230, but no to the birth certificate

good luck
