Bringing child with me to I-485 interview

[justmarriedusciti 7]

USCIS mentions on their I-485 letter that only myself and spouse are to come to the interview due to covid. However, we have a very small child of less than one year of age. Could we bring the child with us to the interview at the Field Office?

safest bet would be to find a baby sitter. dont mess it up at the interview if the IO insists that child should not be present

There is no sitter that we can trust and our relatives are not closeby to take care of the baby. What's the worst that could happen? The baby is less than 1yr old actually is very quiet and cooperative.

Others have reported success in bringing an infant to the interview (post covid era)

What happens at the FO when they see a child? Do they make a fuss and finally say it's okay to bring baby in?

Are IO didn't say a word, besides the child is evidence of your marital relationship
