I filed an I-130 for my husband 12 months ago (Not Approved). Few months ago our child was born in a foreign country; do I file new case?

Answered a year and 9 months ago by attorney Alan Lee, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Immigration
Alan Lee, Esq.
I will assume for purposes of your question that you are a US citizen. If an LPR, the child can be added as a dependent. However, an I-130 petition filed by the US citizen for a spouse falls in the immediate relative category, which does not allow dependent children. Please note that the new child may be a US citizen if you are a US citizen who has been physically present in the US or its outlying possessions for five years prior to the child’s birth, at least two of which were after the age of 14. In such case, you would apply at the US consulate or embassy for the child’s recognition as a US citizen. If you do not meet those conditions, you would file an I-130 petition for the child. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee & Arthur Lee, Esqs.’ (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question. No Attorney/Client relationship is or shall be construed to be created hereby.

No unfortunately you cannot at least the legal way. However there is good news. Since you did enter the US legally, you can get a green card if you marry a US Citizen. There may be an issue if the J visa is subject to the 2 year  resident return condition.
