Do kids have to show up on the interview?

[s_jojo]

My daughter was born in the United State. Does she need to show up on the interview for my and my spouse's 485? She is now currently outside of the country with her grandparents, if she doesn't show up on the interview, will there be any negative affects on our cases?

Thanks.

No, only beneficiaries of the petition need to show up. Since she is already a citizen by birth, she is excluded from the whole process.
