Q: I filed for my spouse I130 and didn't add her unmarried child, is it possible to add the child during visa application?
I had no good job by the time I filed for my spouse as alien relative but after getting a good job I am able to support the unmarried child too. My approval is still pending, Is it possible to add that unmarried child at her visa application after I130 approval?
Or should I write to USCIS to add the unmarried child?
Lastly, If we get a new born, can they also be added during my spouse visa application?

A:
Yes, it is possible to add your spouse's unmarried child during the visa application process. You can provide the child's information when your spouse applies for a visa, even if they were not included in the initial I-130 petition. This step ensures that the child can be considered for a visa along with your spouse.
For the pending I-130 petition, you should contact USCIS to update the application with the child's information. This can be done by writing a letter to USCIS and providing the necessary details about the child, including proof of the relationship and any other supporting documents.
If you have a newborn child after the I-130 approval, you can add the newborn during your spouse's visa application process. Make sure to include the newborn's birth certificate and other relevant documents when submitting the visa application.
