The birth certificate will take about 2 weeks to get and the passport between 3-10weeks depending on how busy they are. This can be expedited (for a fee) to one week if needed. Also CBP have requested that we obtain a second copy of their birth certificate for them to keep and two US sized passport photos.

Hi, just a quick update, had it confirmed by US Customs and Border Protection at JFK that the baby will be allowed to enter the US without a visa or a transportation foil under these circumstances pursuant to: 8 CFR 211.1(b), 22 CFR 42.1(d), 9 FAM 201.2 (b)(1). When will we enter the US CBP will file all the necessary paperwork to the USCIS to make the baby a LPR, without any fee. I am still trying to get the airline to confirm that they will let the baby board the plane without a visa. The CBP have suggested that I ask them to contact the regional carrier liaison group and they will confirm that the baby’s visa requirements are waived. I hope this information is useful to others, especially hanks for all of the advice. Back to dealing with a breech baby.

Hi, I am an American citizen. I have made petitions to bring my husband and kids to the US. Their Ir1 and ir2 visas were approved by the NVC 23rd October 2023 and we are now waiting for an interview to be scheduled at the US Embassy London. I am 26weeks pregnant, our hope was that the visas would have been issued in time for me to give birth in the US but as we have had no word on the interviews yet, I deontology think that would be possible. Does anyone know how we can take the new born with us without having to file a new I-130 for them and waiting in the UK until it’s approved? I have attached some information I found on the us embassy website but does this apply if the person giving birth is a US citizen? I have asked the Embassy, NVC and USCIS this question but none of them have been able to give me an answer. I have sent an expedite request to NVC but that was denied. I am not able to pass my citizenship onto my children and am not in a position to go to the US to give birth without the rest of my family. Thanks very much for your advice. info from US Embassy London website.pdf
