Just a quick update for future references. Ended up doing the second process via the west palm beach office (6 month wait period). Got an interview schedule request for my first application (miami), raised the issue with the officer, and proceeded with scheduling the interview for second son and movement of the case to the Miami office. Both interviews will be done at the same date. Could be YMMV.

Thanks for the quick reply. I live abroad, don't have a physical US address, and would be travelling for the interview process. That said, I would believe I can decide where to file. Due to the fact that I would have to travel with the child, grandmother, mother, etc, doing 1 trip only would be a great cost saver.

Hello guys! Wondering if anyone has had experience with two separate applications and USCIS consolidating it into 1 application to save time. I applied for my first son in May 2022 - Miami office - wait time of 36 months. Didn't know I could check wait times at the time. Now my second son was born, and am debating applying via Miami (still 36 months) or via Puerto Rico (5 months). Ideally I could do Miami in one shot, but over the phone no guidelines were provided and they recommended I talk to a lawyer...
