Hi, I am a permanent resident. Applied for my wife. Her interview is scheduled on July 7th. She is pragnent and her delevary date is July 22nd. She will attand the interview but will travel with our baby. How can I add my baby to this application after the interview?

And my citizenship exam is also scheduled on July 8th. If I become a citizen is it going to help me to bring them here fast or being a permanent residence is better?

Please help me answering these questions.

Sine you will become a citizen after your wife's interview, it won;t matter for her, but it may mean you can to CRBA for the child (ie it will be a US citizen immediately).

My citizenship exam is on july 8th, but if i pass the exam i have to wait for the oath ceremony. Then i will be a citizen. During this time if my baby born she will not count as citizen. Before her birth i have to be citizen. And the time is so close. I have asked some friends about how long it take to go for oath after the citizenship interview. Its about a month. But her delevary date is only 14 days later after my interview.

If i am right should i change my citizenship interview date? So my child will be derevative under same case?

This may or my not be of help, but babies seldom come when they're scheduled to. If your wife is successful at her interview and is granted the immigrant visa, it depends on how soon she'll be able to travel, and heavily pregnant women aren't usually allowed to travel unless its an emergency.

Additionally, you'll have to notify NVC that you've taken your citizenship oath and to upgrade your petition for your wife, and that will take time.

My question to you guys is if I become citizen after my baby born is it good or permanent resident status is good? My main concern is adding my baby to my existing petition as soon as possible because my wife interview date is scheduled.

If you become USC after childbirth and after F2A visa is already issued then you can no longer add the baby. You must file a new i130 for the child or file CRBA (if you meet the residency requirements).

Ok. So if my status don't change what is the procedure to add my child with my wife petition? Her interview date is on July 7th and her delevary is on July 22nd. She is going to attend her interview.

She can ask the embassy directly since she's there already so she can get full details. She'll be dealing with the embassy from now on. After birth, expedite processing of baby's birth certificate and passport. You prepare new AOS too. The fees will be paid at the embassy during baby's appointment/interview.

Good luck!
