Since your PD could become current in the next 2-3 months. Do the following (from my personal experience).PD 03/20/2011

1. the last monday my layer Send the scanned Birth certificate of my newborn(18 MONTH)to NVC to e-mail and ask them to add to the case. NVC ads and generates IV bill this friday. (we have a mail who saiy we have to paid iv for my newborn)

2. Pay the IV bill.

3. Send the DS-230 for newborn, Original BC, pictures and updated AOS to NVC to complete the case.

OR if you do not have time ask NVC to take the docs to the interview since the case is already added and you paid IV bill.i think not doc of newborn at interview if you dont paid a bill for iv (your newborn iv) to nvc

For me, NVC took 5 days to add my child and this week i will pay the bill and send the do for my newborn and updated AOS to NVC.

when your spouse will be a citizen your newbon will be too with the child citizen act 2000 WHO SAID that :

The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 allows certain foreign-born, biological and adopted children of American citizens to acquire American citizenship automatically. These children did not acquire American citizenship at birth, but they are granted citizenship when they enter the United States as lawful permanent residents (LPRs).

The child must meet the following requirements:

Have at least one American citizen parent by birth or naturalization;

Be under 18 years of age;

Live in the legal and physical custody of the American citizen parent; and

Be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence.

my husband will ask her citizenship in july 15 2013 but i think my pd wil be curent in july and i will go to usa with F2A categori becoz citizenship can take 3 to 6 months;

NB:

for the aded of our newborn,my spouse imposed at our lawyer to do that (email birthday daugter to nvc) becoz the lawyer filed an I130 for my newborn since october 2012 and we have not hear sign of uscis to the case;the lawyer refused but we inisted and he did it last monday and nv reply friday and the lawyer was suprised beause he don't hear about this not at all.

i think your priority date will be curent befor the citizenship of your spouse;

ABOUT YOUR newborn citizenship

Overview

The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 allows certain foreign-born, biological and adopted children of American citizens to acquire American citizenship automatically. These children did not acquire American citizenship at birth, but they are granted citizenship when they enter the United States as lawful permanent residents (LPRs).

What Are the Requirements of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000?

The child must meet the following requirements:

Have at least one American citizen parent by birth or naturalization;

Be under 18 years of age;

Live in the legal and physical custody of the American citizen parent; and

Be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence.

In addition, if the child is adopted, the adoption must be full and final.

What Is the Effective Date of the Child Citizenship Act?

The effective date of the Child Citizenship Act is February 27, 2001. Children who met these requirements on that date automatically became American citizens. Children who were 18 years of age or older on that date did not acquire American citizenship from the Child Citizenship Act of 2000.

What Happens When the Child is Adopted in the United States?

A child who enters the United States on an IR4 visa (to be adopted in the United States) will acquire American citizenship when the adoption is full and final in the United States.

How Does a Child Show Lawful Permanent Residence?

A child who has lawful permanent residence (LPR status) will have a permanent resident card (green card). Another way to show LPR status is the I-551 stamp in the child's passport. This stamp shows the child has entered the United States on an immigrant visa and/or has been admitted as a lawful permanent resident.

Must the Child Get a Certificate of Citizenship?

You do not have to apply for a certificate of citizenship for your child. If you want to apply for a certificate, please go to How to Get a Certificate of Citizenship for your Child for instructions.

How Does the Child Get a Passport Under the Child Citizenship Act?

You will need the following when the child applies for a passport:

Proof of the child's relationship to the American citizen parent. For the biological child of the American citizen this will be a certified copy of the foreign birth certificate (and translation if not in English). For an adopted child, it is a certified copy of the final adoption decree (and translation if not in English);

The child's foreign passport showing the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security (USCIS) I-551 stamp in the passport, or the child's permanent resident card (green card);

Proof of identity of the American citizen parent(s)

Passport application, passport photographs and fees. Go to Passport Services for forms and full instructions.

Can My Child Get a Birth Certificate (Consular Report of Birth Abroad or CROBA) from the Embassy or Consulate?

No. Only a child who acquired citizenship at birth can get a birth certificate from an embassy or consulate.

thank u so much for your replay but our child has to months right now and when i asked my original consulate on my country they told me u will join your baby at consulate and not nvc

they adviced me to bring new completed and signed ds230 , new affidavir of support aos /i864 for new born

fee of 230 dollard , medical report,translated birth certificate ,morrocan passport ,pictures of new born and bring nw born at interview date

return after that come to pick up visa for baby

but if my husband get citizenship new born will not be allowed to travel with me because he must wait and we must fill new form i130 for baby waiting approuval and nvc after that

so i think when your husband will get citizen your baby will be citizen he will not be allowed to travel with u

do u know now about the process on filling at consulate

they told me u can fill at consualte just if i appear at f2a category at interview date but if my husband is us citizen

they will hold my visa and waiting for process of baby???

-do u know about filling at consulate and this process not at nvc

thanks???
