Wife gave birth overseas while F2A was pending and I just became U.S citizen. Does Baby gets U.S citizen automatically?

[matteric2004 0]

I have pending I130 F2A for my wife filed on October 2013 I was LPR. she became pregnant and gave birth on June 2014. The case is still pending has not been approved yet. Now that i became a U.S citizen in August 2014. I became U.S citizen just now but baby was born 2 months ago while my N400 was still pending.
Does my newborn daughter also becomes U.S citizen automatically ? if so how could i apply for her?
Or do i need to file another I130 for the baby again?
Does the baby eligible for derivative visa ? how should i apply then ?

No the baby isn't a citizen. He was born before you became a U.S citizen. You'll need to file i-130 for the baby because there is no derivative for immediate relatives. The good thing is, as soon as your baby arrives in the U.S as a permanent resident, he becomes a U.S citizen through you.
