New family member during AOS process

[SadFace 56]

Hi all,

I filed my documents in May, but just now I realized one thing. My son was born in July, should I send information about him, he is US citinzen, but should I refill forms and send them, or just bring his documents and new tax form, financial support forms and I 485 with him included?

You’ll need a new I-864 as well as your household size went from 2 to 3.

yes, I just wonder should I send it, or bring to interview ?

New I-864 I think but I'm not sure if you need a whole new I-485 for the interview. Safest would be to call USCIS.

Please call & ask. Have you mentioned in the application that you are expecting. Usually it shouldn’t be a problem to take new or updated documents to the interview. But always call & ask.

1. Send only copies 

2. Keep originals for interview

You must prove that the baby has a birth certificate & SSN & passport .

the baby & all other kids must attend the interview . 

I’m pretty sure you have to make a new affidavit too , you have to anyways bc a new tax season starts & your income might change. So get everything updated, even if they might not clearly inform you that you need to , do it anyways & save it in your files just in case it ends up you need it. Sometimes the hotline doesn’t give clear answers & you end up with no information. Just plan ahead for in case be proactive. If nobody ask for it good,if they do you can provide all they need! Don’t be lazy you still have time to get everything done ahead of time.
