While in the process of I-130 if a child is born, would we have to file a seperate petition for him/her or would he automatically be qualified to enter US without a petition?

I assume you are already married and one of you is the USC. In that case, the USC has to register the birth with the embassy where the child is born and get him/her a passport. If you are not going for dual citizenship, you will also need to get the child a residence visa in that country.

If neither of you are USCs, then you will probably have to file for the child, but don't take my word for that.

Yes. Normally it shouldn't take too long. Here in China, you have to get the kid a visa within 30 days of his/her arrival in the country and if he is born there, that means his birth. You can't get the visa without a passport, so the US Embassy processes the passports within a few weeks. Your child will probably have dual citizenship, so the visa issue is a non-issue, but the US embassy should have experience with that situation.

Good luck. I hope it isn't a hassle. If I were you, I would find out all the particulars before the child is born. I would guess you are going to want a very clear birth certificate listing you as the father. That would seem obvious, but different countries may have different ways of arranging birth certificates, especially when the father is not a citizen of the country. I also know that for me to get a passport for my daughter in the US so that I could bring her back to China, my husband had to come with me or I would have had to have a notorized affadavit stating that he knew about and agreed to the passport application, or a death certificate for him, or court papers stating that I had full custody of the child. But that is to prevent one parent from taking the child out of the US without the other's knowledge. I don't know how it will work when applying from outside of the US.
