Hello. I'm currently planning on submitting an I-130 for my wife while I wait for my N-400 to get approved. This way, it's already in process and would just get upgraded once the N-400 goes through. Anyway, the main plan was once the N-400 goes through, I'll be sending in the I-129F along with my I-130 NOA and one proof of citizenship to pursue the K3 visa for my wife. She is pregnant right now and were expecting the baby around October of 2006. Knowing the Baltimore Office, I'm pretty sure the baby would come before I get naturalized. So when I get naturalized and apply for the K3, I would assume the baby would get the K4? If that was the case, when they both come in the US via K3 and K4, once the I-130 gets approved, my wife becomes an immigrant (after applying for an AOS of course). Now would the baby become an immigrant as well, considering I didn't have an I-130 for the baby? If the baby comes in via a K4, what would the baby be waiting for since I didn't have an I-130 for the baby? Do I have to file for an I-130 for the baby once the baby gets born? Would it be better off if I wait until the baby gets born before I file for my wife's I-130, which in that case would mean I would have to file 2 I-130's, one for my wife and one for my child?

I'm pretty stumped as the I-130 form's documentation mentions that you need one for each relative to be petitioned. and the K3/K4 documentation mentions the petitonee's (is that the right term?) children, but doesn't mention an I-130 for the K4.
