I am an LPR and my wife is in her home country,she has been scheduled a visa interview in the embassy.I am requesting the embassy for a re-scheduling of the interview,probably for a month later since she is 9 mo pregnant.

Can anyone educate us,what is the procedure for grant of visa to the newborn,if he needs one.Doe we have to take him to the embassy?

Someone in this forum,different thread,said He won't need a visa.We are confused?

Has anyone gone through all this?

Why is it a problem to contact the embassy in question to ask about your specific case? Will take away the confusion.

Once born take the baby to the interview and he will be processed along with your wife's visa. She will be asked if she's the mother and if she wants to take her baby with her when traveling. If she decides to travel with the baby she will be asked to fill out the DS-230 form for the baby, pay the visa fee and do a medical test for the baby, and visa will be issued for both your wife and soon.

Citizenship next step!

I have heard before on this forum,the baby doesn't need a visa.This is confusing.I know all this confusion will go away once the embassy clarifies this but they are not answering.

The baby doesn't need a visa if one of the parent is a USC, all you have to do is report the birth of the child at the consulate.

In your case it's not so....so baby will get a visa.

Here is one link I came across:

Children born abroad to permanent resident mothers are permanent residents.

The requirements are that such a child must be brought to the U.S. on the mother's first return trip, which must occur before the child is two years of age.

As of this writing, the child in this situation does not need a visa.

Good to know was not aware of that...I notice that it was posted back in 2003. Anyway all the best and please do keep us posted as i'm curious to know. My sister went thru the same thing back in 2009 and the baby had to pay the visa fee and was given a green card.
