A friend of mine just had her 2nd baby for her US fiancé months after filing form I-129f and k2 for her daughter. However their petition is yet to be approved by the USCIS. How does she include her new born in the process so that they would all have to travel together to the US after her interview.

If the child isn't covered by CRBA then just add at the DS-160 stage.

Assuming it’s Nigeria (like your profile flag)

 

 https://ng.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/birth/

 

Note you can’t get a visa for the baby if it is in fact born a citizen. You (she, whoever) would need to get a US passport for the baby.

@SusieQQQ 's link is correct.  https://ng.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/birth/    And a VISA will not be issued for any child that can derive citizenship from a parent. 

 

I´d advise your friend and her fiance to get a free account here as well.

Two babies with the same father (a USC)? It’s possible that both are already USCs and no K-2s are needed. It’s possible you don’t know the full circumstances so it would be better for the actual applicant or the petitioner to join here.

Father has to fly to her home country. Submit the online form for embassy interview for the born child abroad. Get all papers. And go to the interview. Make sure a child has a birth certificate with the father name in it and translated into English. But they might ask for dna test. It might take more time. Once they approved, they will get crba and passport for baby

Posted (edited)

Father's presence at CRBA is not required.  It is helpful if he is there but the parentage forms can be completed in the US.

 

Save the money for the trip.  The could ask for DNA,

 

See the instructions.

Nigeria’s official language is English, I assume all official documents are therefore already in English.

 

Agree that saving money for possible DNA test requirements is a better use of the money than flying out, unless of course dad would like to visit anyway, then it makes sense to submit CRBA at the same time.
