How to update/send birth certificate for newborn ?

[Theunloved 0]

Hi everyone,

I filed an I-130 for my sister's family a month ago. I got the NOA1 from USCIS and still waiting for the second NOA2. When the application was filed, my sister had only 1 son. She just gave birth to the 2nd son two weeks ago and I would like to add his name into the application. I talked to a lady working at an immigration office service (first consultant group if you want to know the business name) and she suggested me not to do that until USCIS processes my sister's family visa and that would be waiting for more than 10 years to update the application. I think it is not right to wait that long. My question is, is the suggestion from the lady correct ? If not, how can I update my application ? Thanks

Wait for the priority date to become current and then you can update the information. There may be another child during the 10 year wait. Life happens.

My nephew had a son while his case was at the NVC. I added his son to the case last year before he qualified for further processing. The AOS and IV bill listed his son.

That worked for us.

Best of luck.

NVC processing would start well before the PD becomes current. Without updating the case beforehand, there will not be an IV bill for the child when the NVC starts processing the case in anticipation of the PD becoming current.
