Should I reschedule our interview? (have not done a ERCBA for my baby)

Myself (US citizen) and my wife (Taiwanese citizen) just got our CR1 interview date set at AIT in Taipei in a month. 

We also have a 7 month old baby who was born the week after we sent out all of our NVC paper work. We still have not done his CRBA to report his birth (and no passport yet either of course). We may not have time to bring him in to AIT to get his CRBA complete by the time  of the CR1 interview. 

Will this be a problem? 

Should we push out our CR1 interview date until we can get our baby's CRBA complete or is this irrelevant? 

And would we have to change anything for her paperwork that reflects we have a child now? perhaps household size in the i-864?

Any info or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

I would contact AIT and ask them about the CRBA.  They were always pretty responsive to me when I contacted them during our journey.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Never cancel an interview appointment. American child is not counted as you are not sponsoring child for immigration.

Child is counted in household size.

I'll probably end up doing that then. Better to be upfront with the whole thing rather than run into potential problems later. I just hope that if/when I reschedule my appointment they don't bump it up several more months out. I'll ask them about that too. Thanks.

The visa for your spouse will be valid for six months past the medical exam date.  Plenty of time to do the CRBA and passport before the visa expires.  Get on it now though.  You could have had this done already.  Not sure what you mean by having time, but make time.

CRBA should be pretty quick if you have all the evidence and paperwork they ask for. I don't know about other  countries but I did my child CRBA in Peru and all was done under 4 weeks since the date of appointment until receiving child US Passport.

 

I did my child's CRBA after one month of birth, perhaps this somehow helped the case.

 

As previously said by other members here, 6 months (immigrant visa validity) should be more than enough to get the child CRBA if the child qualifies for it.

When you contacted AIT did you do so over the phone or by emailing them?

When I call I always get an automated line that gives generic information when I hit the prompts for visa services. 

Today I hit the prompt for "other sections" which links you to a live representative. The person I talked to was with the Administrative Department and said AIT could not help cancel or reschedule our interview date and was quick to give me the USCIS and the NVC websites. He seemed very irritated by my question actually. I also asked him if NVC or USCIS didn't respond to my rescheduling email in time and we are considered a no show at our AIT appointment what would happen to our case. Again, he said to check the NVC and 

I talked to someone from UStraveldocs (department of state visa appointment service) support line and they told me AIT was the one in charge of rescheduling. 

Anyways it says on the AIT website to contact VisaIV-AIT@state.gov to reschedule so I will do that. And probably NVC to to cover myself in case the guy at AIT was right or they don't reply in time. 

I think I reached the wrong person at AIT. 

That was long winded, if you made it this far, sorry about that!

This is how I always contacted them.  Sometimes, it took a day or for a reply.
