I assume your visas are not expired.
Did you discuss with the consular officer in your interview? Ideally you should get what is called a “boarding foil” from the embassy for the baby so that the airline knows they can board her for a flight to the US. She will be processed for a green card on arrival.
Our visas have not yet expired.
When we asked her during our interview she said she was not sure how such a case should be handled she went to consult her supervisor and they said they were not sure if we would have to leave the baby then petition for her

Omg lol for whatever reason the thought of them thinking the answer was “leave the baby behind” was funny to me.
A child born after the issuance of a visa to an accompanying parent who will arrive in the United States with the parent and apply for admission during the period of validity of the visa issued to the parent is not required to obtain an immigrant visa. 9 FAM 201.2-3 b.(1)

What consulate was this? That’s bizarre. It’s clearly stated in the DoS field manual :
Waiver for Certain Children Not Required to Obtain Visas:
(1) Child Born After the Issuance of Parent's Visa: A child born after the issuance of a visa to an accompanying parent who will arrive in the United States with the parent and apply for admission during the period of validity of the visa issued to the parent is not required to obtain an immigrant visa.
As well as on a number of US embassy websites, example below (obviously the same US law applies to all)
Child Born After Visa Issuance
If your child is born after the issuance of your immigrant visa s/he will not need a visa to accompany you provided you both travel within the period of
uk.usembassy.gov
You can definitely do this. The only issue is that if your passport is of a country that normally requires a visa for the US, the airline may refuse to board the baby. I am going to suggest that you print a copy of the relevant page (and save the url) of the CBP guide for carriers. On numbered page 2 (page 10 of the pdf) it says
Child born abroad to an accompanying parent after issuance of an immigrant visa to the parent but before the parent’s initial admission as an immigrant may be boarded as long as the child has a passport and birth certificate.
We have had reports before of some airlines not understanding everyone who is allowed to board. I would advise you all to get to the airport early in case you have issues. Keep asking to speak to supervisors/managers and/or insisting they call their CBP liaison if they don’t want to board the baby.

Great, thanks for your response.
Hi all, this is for a friend. She is trying status check up for 2023 but it does not work. She says when she types out the authentication and submits, it does not show results, but stays as it is. Has anyone experiences the same problem these days? She had tried with different browsers too but results are the same.

From previous responses above, it is my understanding that the status check will only work from January onwards.

What status check? ESC or CEAC?
Pretty sure I know the answer but just want to clarify. My social security card I got from when I was on a J1 visa has "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION" stamped on it, but as soon as I arrive and my LPR status is activated I can work legally right? I don't have to wait for the new card without the stamp to be printed?
Asking as my Australian company is going to pay me via a third party company so Im technically hired by a US employer (and paid that way) but can't start the paper work until I activate. Want to make sure its fine for them to start the process the second I land or if I have to wait for my new social or something else. I assume its updated in the system right away and that I'm just waiting on a piece of paper and don't have to worry?

Hello SusieQQQ,Sm1Smom hope you good.
Today I received my passport no visa and they put one refusal letter
Mentioned AP was unable to come to complete prior to September 30 and case expired. I attach photo pls have a look.
I waited over 6 month my case process they come to conclusion but they did not
however I was the first in line who wait case process because i had my interview March , the others whose case was under AP had their interviews months after me and all they got visa. Still i do not know why consular decided like this.
Will this refusal will affect my case if i apply any type of visa from US in the future?
İs there anything i can do after 30 September for get visa?
Thanks

It is ESC . She is trying to check entering her confirmation number for 2023 on this eDV site (https://dvprogram.state.gov/ESC/CheckStatus.aspx) but she does not get through. She even asked my help and I also tried with her, but didn't get through. We entered all data from the print she kept saved, and finally gave the authentication code too, but the page stay same. She is trying this for 1 week now and she sought my help the day before. Unfortunately, I could not help her so I thought to ask the forum. (we tried with different browsers too). Any advice?
She tries this status check on her entry for 2023 DV. I think anybody can check the status from May onwards.

I’m sorry to learn you got your passport back without the IV as your AP clearance could not be completed but Sept. 30th. Unfortunately, there’s nothing else you can do about this DV selection or the subsequent denial. The time it takes one or several other folks to their AP is not a yardstick for measuring when a person’s specific AP may or will clear. Each case is specific and different.
This denial on its own cannot be used as a blanket denial for future US visa applications. But the AP you’ve been subjected to will definitely get factored into any future visa application you make - they will initiate a new background check for future visa applications which will need to be cleared before the visa can be issued.
In general, I do not see you being issued with a NIV in the near future due to the immigrant intent you’ve already demonstrated and the prolonged AP you will be subjected to.

Sorry to hear your sad story
Very disappointing. If you don't mind sharing, what is your region and/or country?

Probably system overload with all dv2024 entries. Have seen a number of posts here & another forum with same problem.
