IR1/IR2 (CR1/CR2) different locations of beneficiaries

[edizon1 4]

Hi guys. I hope everyone is doing well. Our IR1/IR2 petitions were recently approved (USCIS stage). My husband (USC) filed petitions for me and our biological daughter who is almost three years old now. The problem is that I am currently residing and working in Qatar and our daughter is in the Philippines. I understand that there will be different interviews for the both of us. But, will the embassy schedule the interviews based on our current locations? Or will they schedule the interviews at the same day and same location? I was wondering if someone had been in the same situation before and what was the arrangement made by the embassy. Anyone's input is highly appreciated.  Thank you.

If the daughter is born to a USC doesn't she qualify as a citizen already?  Why would she need to interview or am I missing something?

 

A person born abroad in wedlock to a U.S. citizen and an alien acquires U.S. citizenship at birth if the U.S. citizen parent has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the person’s birth for the period required by the statute in effect when the person was born (INA 301(g), formerly INA 301(a)(7)).

Our daughter was born when my husband was not yet a USC. That's why she is not eligible for a CRBA.
