Hi Everyone,

We applied for the passport in India. But we are worried about the visa.Can anyone help me and advice what we an do? Which visa should we apply for? Did anyone face similar situation?

The baby is eligible for instant LPR status at the POE, if brought by your wife on her first trip to the US since giving birth, and before the baby is 2 years old. Or you can bring the baby if you were outside the US at the time of birth and still have not returned to the US.

I am a legal permanent resident of the U.S. While I was outside the U.S., I gave birth to a child. Now I wish to return to the U.S. May I take my child with me?

As outlined in 9 FAM 42.1 N1.1, a child under two years of age who was born of a Permanent Resident Alien mother during a temporary visit abroad does not require an immigrant visa in order to travel to the United States if the alien parent is in possession of a valid Form I-551 (i.e. green card), a valid reentry permit, or an SB-1 visa. The child must be admitted to the U.S. within two years of birth and the accompanying parent must be applying for readmission upon first return after the birth of the child.

Search this forum. There is a special process for children born to GC holders. Basically your child will be processed for a GC upon his/her first entry into the US.
