F2A and pregnancy

[TexasStar 1]

Hello good people!

I am looking for advice on one metter, I'll start researching it by miself but still to ask in case somebody knows.

What happens if during the F2A process the beneficery become pregnant and had a infant baby?

Let's say during waiting for current number in NVC - on this step in case retrogression happens.

Do the petitioner have to file second petition?

Thanks in advance,

TexasStar

No.

Derivative children are allowed in the F2A category. The infant will immigrate with the mother. No need to file i-130 for the child.

You must inform NVC right away regarding the child. Email NVC together with a scanned copy of the child's birth certificate. Get the child a passport too ASAP. You will need to pay the child's IV fee and the child be counted on your i864 (Affidavit of Support).

Apple21,

but my child doesn't have passport :-) It it 2d month pregnancy :-)

My question is in case retrogression happens now, and the child is born outside the US, does the child needs petition?

Thanks,

TexasStar

Hey n4th4ly4,

I wish you happy & healty pregnancy, that's the most important, docs are after that :-)

Great, then in case there is regression and the baby is born outside States, I'll let them know,

Do I have to let them now that the beneficiary is pregnant?

Yes you need to inform NVC about the baby. Send a scanned copy of of the baby's NSO birth certificate.

NVC will require the baby's original NSO birth certificate and passport photocopy as part of the baby's civil documents which will be mailed to them after paying the IV fee.

So what happens when the I-130 is still pending and the baby is born - and the applicant becomes USC from LPR? Will the baby be eligible for F2A or CR2/IR2 since the applicant becomes USC?

Maybe you mean when the PETITIONER becomes a USC and upgrades the petition to IR/CR?

If that happens, the USC petitioner needs to file a separate i-130 for the child. The child will no longer be a derivative as derivatives are not allowed in the IR/CR category.

No, Apple 21, that is incorrect.

Calvm, whether ure a US citizen or LPR at the time, the baby will be able to travel to The US with mum as long as the documents are submitted.

In fact, once you become a US citizen, the baby will be eligible for US citizenship as well. The paper work can be filed at the embassy in ure country after baby is born so he/she can receive their US passport. ~~~

Calvm, whether ure a US citizen or LPR at the time, the baby will be able to travel to The US with mum as long as the documents are submitted. Nope. IR/CR category does not allow derivative children, a separate i-130 must be filed for the spouse and the child. For F2A category, derivatives children are allowed.

In fact, once you become a US citizen, the baby will be eligible for US citizenship as well. The paper work can be filed at the embassy in ure country after baby is born so he/she can receive their US passport. ~~~ Yes, this is called CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad). Certain residency requirements should be met before US citizenship can be transmitted to the child. Check the CRBA requirements at the US Embassy website of the country where your child is born to get the list of requirements.
