question
Need your advice or suggestions.
Am I on the right path?
I am permanent resident filling for my wife who lives in another country(filling form I130). My pd is 1/23/2021. Actively reviewing since April 30. My case is still pending (not approved yet). I had a child on 1/29/2022.
I am going to apply for citizenship tomorrow.
If I gain the citizenship before I130 get approved, I will be in trouble since I have to file a new I130 for my child.
To be cautious, I will either drop the application before receiving the citizenship or try to extend the interview (reschedule the interview till get I130 approved).
If I get I 130 approved before I become a citizen, I think I will be in the right path.

After you get citizenship, just file a new I-130 for your child. Attach a cover letter informing them of your new status as a citizen and your naturalization certificate to the application with the regular supporting documents you need.

I do not want to file a new l130 for my son because I heard I can add my son to the petition at NVC stage without file a new I130 so they can get the visa at the same time
