Adding a newborn at NVC who was not mentioned in original petetion

[Sindhieagle 19]

My case is at NVC. Havent received any receipt bill yet. I was told that should expect to receive the fee bill for only the members mentioned in original I-140 petition and should write to NVC to amend the fee bill with newborn. My question is: 

 

1. I notice that if i write to NVC , they are taking 2 months+ to respond. Is it true that once i receive the initial fee bill i should expect revised fee bill in additional 2 months time? Can it expedited? 

 

2. what documents would be sufficient for newborn? 
 

3. Newborn may not have all the required vaccinations at the time of interview, will it be a problem?

 

thank you in advance.

Hi members - My Petition has been approved by USCIS and I have been waiting for it to be sent to NVC. However, we have a baby (dependent) that we wish to add into our already approved petition. The baby was not mentioned in the form at the time of submission as she was not born at that time but after the approval of petition. Hence, seeking some help on how to add her into our petition. Also, how long will it take for USCIS/NVC to include her and what documents would be required.

Can you fill out your timeline and profile, please?

It would be helpful to know the visa you are applying for.... 

Check out this information:

 

How do I add a derivative family member to my case?

 

On the case summary page’s status chart, there are two buttons under “Applicant Information.” To add or remove a family member from your case, click on the appropriate button. You will have to enter information about your family member, including name, address, email, and relationship to you. The new derivative visa applicant’ name will then appear on the list of applicants and you will have to pay the Immigrant Visa Fee, complete a Form DS-260 application, and upload civil documents for that person. However, it will take approximately one hour after adding a family member before the option to pay the Immigrant Visa Application Fee is active.

Note that some visa categories are only for unmarried persons, and a change in marital status could make you ineligible for that visa category. Typically eligibility for a visa category depends on the legal status of the petitioning family member in the United States, your age, and your marital status. You can find a list of immigrant visa categories on our website with details on the eligibility requirements for each type of immigrant visa.

Were you a US Citizen when the kid was born? That's important whether or not kid is getting a visa.

Yep! But, are you a US citizen petitioning your spouse or are you an LPR petitioning your spouse?

If you are a USC you'll need to either obtain a CRBA for your child OR you'll need to file an I-130 for you child.

If you are an LPR you'll probably be able to add a derivative to the case... 

 

Ah~ see merged threads.

You'll probably be able to add your kid as a derivative when you're able to access CEAC.

Great! Some petitions take forever to approval so it appears as if NVC will let you add derivatives to your case~ you should be good to go!
