I am a USC and I filed 2 I-130 applications one for my wife and one for our baby (8 months old back then I was a LPR when he was born)

Both Applications were approved on an interview I had on Nov 19th and My wife's i-130 already has a case# assigned at NVC but NVC has no Information at all about my baby's i-130 and it's been already 3 weeks.

I was a Permanent Resident when my baby was born. I become a US Citizen 6 months latter. I even e-mail the US embassy at Bogota and they replied me that since I was not a USC by the time the baby was born he does not qualify for US citizenship.

Now my problem is that the NVC has not received my baby's application and my wife's application it's been at the NVC for some time. Now the two cases are going to have a big difference in processing status and I will have to go to the embassy twice.

Not necessarily. When your wife is called for an interview, she should let the embassy know that she will do it once your child's case makes it to the embassy. That way both are issues visas at the same time.

You do need to find out where did the child's approved petition go - try calling NVC again or USCIS for cases status of the approved petition.
