Adding new born baby to a petition filed for her dad.

There is always the follow to join option, in case brother decides to let baby nurse and bond with the mother for a year..

Thanks everyone for your responses. I did look at the link last night and was a little confused lol. 
 

Appreciate all the insight everyone is giving.

 

To clarify: Why I said he the sole parent - My brother had his baby through a surrogate. Part of the process is getting a DNA test to verify that he is the father and he is provided with the birth certificate. The “mother” was an egg donor.

Well it would have been a long time before I came up with that scenario.

Did brother already email Consulate to add baby?

Wait for interview before any DNA testing . He will have plenty of time ( 6 month) to complete baby’s requirements even if they approve only his visa same day as interview ..

 

 

What amazing timing ….what country/ consulate?

You are not alone…I was way off ( and in my head only 😂) branding brother as an unfeeling cad to take young infant away from the mother.

No he hasn’t. Wasn’t sure the next steps and how to proceed. He hasn’t gotten his interview yet at the embassy. He’s in Trinidad. 
 

Should he email the US consulate in Trinidad now? 
 

The DNA testing is part of the surrogacy process. So he has to do it now.

 

Yes, the timing is amazing!

He and my mom laughed at this. They have been getting similar reactions from ppl who don’t know the full situation. 

[Family 3,988]

If case is still at NVC , he should contact NVC to add baby .

 

He should also email embassy with copy of child’s birth certificate..between the 2 , he will get it done, depending on where case is and timing to his interview .

His surrogacy documentation should suffice, but in case consulate insists on their own DNA , it’s simple and pretty fast , so no big challenges 

Thank you for updating consular post/ country….no cultural blocks there

Will he seek to bring the surrogate as well?

Is this comment even necessary?

It is a question, not a comment.  You are obviously free not to answer.
