Child born after I-130 approved

I call it the difference between being morally right and factually right, not uncommon.

That maybe true but I didn't want someone to read the post before (quoted below) and get any doubts. Its ambiguous.

 

Nothing is guaranteed to come from it but the CO will at least be able to say for sure if your wife will need to start a new petition for the newborn and advise what to do

OP knows they do, no need for additional confirmation

Not always true. There some residency requirements.

I hope she has been filing her US taxes as required for all USCs.

Give birth in the US?

This IS the easiest solution.  Your wife is a US Citizen.  She can come to the US to give birth.  Your only other solution is to file a new petition for the baby, once it's born and delay the family's move to the US until the baby's case gets to the interview stage.

Not necessarily and not in THIS case.  Pay attention.  The OP already knows this.

Looking back on your timeline you were c 6 months late in applying for every thing to line up with your 2019 timeline and give you space for anything that might go wrong. I think we go back to maybe, your wife of course can move when she wants to so she has flexibility.

 

Thinking more about the sponsorship that person has to be a USC or LPR so I think you do need to a Joint.

Maybe I missed something but if the OP, the foreign spouse has sufficient income that will continue from the same source, there is no need for a joint sponsor.  That seems to be a non-issue in this case.

Ah I see, learn something new every day, did not know about having to live in the US for 5 years to qualify children for CRBA, that's unfortunate. Either way, hopefully the process goes smoothly and quickly for your family. Should the baby be born before you and the children get their visas and move, you will probably have to notify the CO at the interview and they will most likely guide you from there on getting the baby into the US as well, hopefully with no hiccups. 

When you don't know what you're talking about, it is far wiser to read and learn than to muddy the waters with misinformation.  NO, the CO can do NOTHING for the baby.  The baby needs an Approved I-130 and to get through NVC to the interview stage in order to get a visa.

 

The only way to avoid delay is for the wife to give birth to the child in the US.  She is a US Citizen and can travel to the US for this purpose, with no issues except expense and temporary separation from family.

I, can say for sure.  No need to wait for disappointing news from a CO.  The result of that, is that visas for 4 family members would be issued and they and mom would have to leave Canada within six months (leaving the baby behind for at least a short time) or start everything ALL over again.

 

Please learn first, before you offer advice.  Everything you've advised in this thread has been dead wrong.  That doesn't "HELP" anybody.

Apparently this cost can be over 20000... I know it's not related to this thread but does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this? 

 

PS. Thank you everyone for your input so far. It's been invaluable.

I am not sure what I was thinking but being married so long and sending children to Private school suggests that AoS would not be an issue even without the family income.

 

You mentioned schooling so what is the plan for Healthcare, is this something your Employer will provide as part of your relocation?

There's a point where you'll have to compare the cost of delaying your move vs paying for the delivery in the US.  Costs vary a lot. Midwife is less, however there's still the possibility of being transferred to the hospital.

I wish. Private school was a decision that we made. We're not wealthy by any metric but we should be fine for AoS.

Unfortunately my job does not offer Healthcare.  I have a decent job here  that is willing to let me move  so I am keeping it for now . Once I move  I can start looking for other options . I have not really looked too deeply into Healthcare as it wasn't the immediate concern. Now that her going into the u.s. to give birth is on the table I guess I will have to dive into it. Any directions?

When she was in labor you would swear the only word she knew was "epidural"... 😉

Oh wow, private schools around here are $25k+ per year and most require proof of insurance coverage, vaccines, etc.  I can see how others thoughts your income was much higher than what is needed. 

 

Insurance subsidized by my employer would be about $700 per month for a family, but the cost will depend on what's available in your state.
