Hi folks,

1.I would like to know the procedure to add my new born to already filed immigration. Please advice.

2. Do I have to submit an NVC form or a written email/note to NVC is enough.?

Are you a US citizen? Have you lived in the US 5 years with 2 years being after the age of 14? Were you married when the baby was born?

If so your new baby is already a US citizen. You just need to file the Consular Report of Birth Aboard (CRBA). You just need the a birth certificate issued in India. I just did this in Vietnam. You'll get a CRBA that basically declares your child a natural born citizen and a US passport for the child. That babies SSN card comes to your US address a few months later.

When I did this at the consulate the CO told me I wouldn't have to make any changes to my wife's petition already in processing. See the link.

I would get the baby's Indian passport if allowed. It will make it easier for the baby to come and go for visits.

Hi Todd&Hanh,

Thanks for your reply.

1. No, I am not a US citizen.

2. I, my wife and my kids (are nationals of other country) are the immigration applicants. Immigration already filed 5 years back.

3. We had a new born 1 month back and I would like to add my new born.

Please advice.

Thanks

I assumed you were USC because your profile says IR-1/CR-1. I'm sorry but my skill set ends here. Another member will have to advise you as I can only provide speculative information of this topic. Good Luck.

By the way I'm in Kakinada right now enjoying your holiday. The food is fantastic.

How did you file your original application? Through a relative (which?) or something else?

Hi,

I have filed an immigration for my brother and his family. I have a question as below.

1. My brother had a new born last month, I would like his new born to the already filed petition.

2. Does NVC provide a form for adding new beneficiaries or do I have to contact NVC directly? Please guide.

Thanks

hi

when did you file for them? are they already at the NVC stage now? because the petition takes 12 years, so it depends on what stage of the petition they are currently in

This maybe called adding derivatives? I was looking for info on the HCMC site and saw information that might be relevant to you. I know it's not India but I looked under the Mumbai site and they don't have this page but at least you know what it's called to start a search.

To report an add-on child derivative: - Submit a copy of your child’s birth certificate.
