Bringing baby to AOS interview

[aa22 0]

My wife and I have our AOS interview next month in Dallas. Does anyone know if our 7 month baby will be allowed in the interview with us?

 

I called the USCIS contact center and they said I had to follow the instructions on the interview noticed exactly. The interview noticed does not say a baby is allowed, however, neither does our pre-COVID interview notice (which was cancelled).

 

Has anyone taken their baby with them to an interview during this time of COVID?

Should be allowed because the baby is "evidence" of your valid ongoing relationship.

 

We took ours but it was pre covid

Yes. You can bring your child to the interview. We brought 2 month old to the interview

How did this go? I'd be interested in any stories about people bring a baby to an interview during COVID times.  Our I-485 interview was just rescheduled.  Obviously, there are two schools of thought: (1) the baby is very persuasive evidence of a bona fide relationship and the officer may want to eyeball the kid to see if he looks like the father, (2) COVID protocols lean towards no unnecessary potential spreading people, even babies, in any setting and a birth certificate and photos of baby would suffice, and the baby could cry/puke/poop/spit and be a disruption.

Are there any threads discussing babies in interviews during the last six months?

The USCIS building entry covid protocol is to allow anyone in who is named on your application.   Since ALL children are to be  listed, they will be allowed to accompany you.

Thanks. What do you mean when you say all children are to be listed on the application?  This is an I-485 AoS from marriage. No child was listed on the application, the child was just born a few months ago.
