I am the petitioner (U.S. citizen), my wife is Mexican. Our son is expected to be born in February. This is around the time frame of our estimate for i130 approval. 
questions:

1. Does the baby need to be added at interview or simply obtain a passport for him since he will be a U.S. citizen at birth by my right?

2. Will nvc require my wife to insurance have health insurance at the time of entry? Open enrollment is coming up so I would need to add her now. 
3. any other thoughts I’m sure I haven’t thought of with a newborn..

thank you all

Of note, if you are planning to enter by land from Tijuana, the CRBA would be required, but not necessarily the passport.   See: https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-724?language=en_US

1. The child is your dependent so the beneficiary will need to bring a new I-864. Yes the child needs a U.S. passport   2. Generally no

If the child is born then, or you can delay submitting the I864 to NVC until the birth.

One extra hot the I 864

We’re not at the nvc stage yet so I would just complete the first i864 with the child, correct?

Visajourney estimates end of February (not sure if this is for everything or just the I-130 approval to send to nvc) and the uscis says 8 months (so may).

I would go further than that and delay any NVC stuff until the child has CRBA and U.S. passport in hand.

Why? What is the purpose of delaying it?

So that mom does not get a visa before her child and be faced with the ugly choice of abandoning her child to activate her visa or abandoning her immigration journey.

Doesn’t she have 6 months to enter? The passport for the child won’t take long. And I’ll be applying for the crba as soon as he is born. It would be a nice surprise if the visa came before February but it’s doubtful. We applied March 24th 2023. That should give us plenty of buffer to get all these logistics squared up. 
 

Maybe I’m missing something - if so please say so.

The child could be walking by the time she gets a visa, I do not see an issue.

Let’s hope not but I suppose it’s possible. I started walking at 6 months. But we’re hoping for the 6-9 month mark from now. We want to get her out of Tijuana asap.

Well it has been a very long time since I have seen a case take a year.

That’s honestly great to hear! We’re mentally and emotionally and physically prepared for a 2 year process but obviously hoping for less. This border living is rough commute. Luckily I’m only doing it once a week. It’s 3 hours each direction.
