My wife is in Dominican Republic my son is about 3 month old what proceeds to now that we started the nvc process I just payed the fees I am questioning about the process do we need to add him to the nvc application? Does she need to take a dominican passport for him over there or what proceeds? Since I am a US citizen I know he will eventually be a us citizen just dont know what to do?

He might already be a US citizen. 

1.) Where do you currently live?

2.) Have you lived in the US before? For how long?

CRBA may be the term you are looking for.

I would start by reading the link.

If you're a US citizen and meet the requirements, you'll do CRBA for your son https://do.usembassy.gov/ecrba/

So I dont need to add him on my wife NVC case 

 US citizens are not eligible for immigrant visas.   Have you looked at the link provided, as suggested?  You need to start there to begin to understand this process.

If your son is a US citizen you can include him in the DS260 to show your wife (and you) have a child.  

As you are a US citizen petitioning your wife (an immediate relative), your son cannot be added to the case so he receives a visa.

If your son is not a US citizen. You will have to file an I-130 so you can move to the US. 

 

Follow this link to find out if your son qualifies for CRBA.

First, determine if your son is entitled to US Citizenship at birth.  If you are a lifelong US Citizen, just assume he is.  What you do is apply for his Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and his US passport.

 

You've been given a link to the information.  Here's the specific link for the US Embassy in Dominican Republic.

Now....get busy reading and following instructions.
