Hi Bullsf,
Yes, the child is a citizen, but your wife CANNOT derive any benefit from that until the child is 21. She MUST maintain her nonimmigrant status as before. If she leaves the US, she probably will have serious difficulty getting back in because of her marriage to an asylee. People on F-1 status are expected to have no permanent immigration intent and in the mind of INS officers, her marriage to you is disqualifying.
