WIFE WOULD GIVE BIRTH B4 RECEIVING HER VISA

Thanks to u house for all ur replies. I dont know if anybody can still remember my case about spouse situation. Anyway I currently lives in London as a student while my wife lives in Nigeria. I was the one that won the DV - 2010. I told the America Embassy in London about my wife living in Nigeria and I was told as soon as my own interview is successful that my case will be forwarded to Nigeria so that my wife can do her own part of interview.
I've done my own interview in London and it was successful, I received my visa about 2 weeks after my interview and I was told my case has been transferred to Nigeria so that my wife can do her own interview, so now we are waiting for her interview to be scheduled.
My concern now is, when I received my visa via the courier service, I also received a big brown sealed envelope and also another paper that explains the green card and the visa. On the paper it was written that child born after the visa has been issued does not need to get a visa to travel with parents to the states. My wife is pregnant and she will be due anytime from now which means she would have given birth before her interview. This are now my questions;
(1) Would my baby requires visa to travel with us to the states?
(2) Since I am the primary applicant and my visa has been issued b4 our child is born, does that means he wont need visa to travel with us?
(3) Since his mother is yet to received her own visa when he was born, does that means he too will need to get a visa by the time his mum go for her own visa interview too?

Kindly assist with any helpful ideas.

Cheers
 
Great news Ayoblack!
Congrats.

As for your question I do not get it, it looks like it says on the envelop that you do not need the visa, but if that's what it says, why not just call the embassy/consulate in London to verify what it is exactly that you (or your wife) need to do. When does she deliver? Before or after her interview (I mean if she shows iuo before very very pregnant, they also will explain her what to do once the baby is born, I would think). I am sure when you talk to them directly they will be more then willing to help you. You are already successful so they will be more then helpful. You just want to verify and know exactly what to do and when. Good luck!
 
in general, if the baby is born before the interview, the baby will need the medical exam and his/her own visa as well. If the baby is born after you get your visas, she/he doesn't need the visa, but you should get a transportation letter for the infant at the US consulate. Your situation is a bit more complex because the mother didn't get a visa yet. You may want to email the Consulate and ask them.
