I have an approved I-140, current PD and are currently at the NVC stage and should get a case number in a few weeks (Consular Processing, not AOS).

 

My wife is also 3 months pregnant... By the looks of it she will give birth a few weeks *after* our interview at the American Embassy. I've read a lot of stuff online about the baby being derivative or follow to join, but it's confusing. Do I need to file any paperwork? or just take them to the US with us and she will get her GC upon entry?

I'm not a USC, I will be a LPR after my interview at the US Embassy. I currently have an I-140 (work) approved with current priority date and will go through the NVC stage.

Speak to the CO at your interview about it and they will tell you exactly what to do.... baby may need transportation letter (obviously can only get after it’s born).

Yes, I'm planning to do exactly that, I was hoping someone had a similar experience before.

The short version is Child will be processed on arrival but airlines may refuse to carry without transportation letter. You’ll be at the actual consulate which is best place to answer any questions...
