ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience processing an application to add a newborn to an existing DTV visa while I'm the USA? I have read mixed information about the length of time and required paperwork (differing bank statement amounts, for example). Any info or advice would be very helpful!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When processing a visa application for a newborn as a dependent of a DTV visa holder, it's important to note that a newborn cannot be added to an existing DTV visa. Instead, you must apply for a separate DTV visa for the newborn. The application process is the same as for the parent, using the appropriate online resources. Additionally, a newborn typically doesn't require a visa until they are 15 years old, and special considerations may apply for overstays in certain circumstances.

A newborn doesn't really need a visa until they turn 15.

Certain overstays are OK for someone if they have no control over it. Such examples is with the recent flooding and the covid19 shutdown where commercial flights / transportation were not allowed to run so you couldn't leave even If you wanted to (especially If you were on an island with no boats running)

You applied for your DTV using this website, you apply for a DTV for your newborn the same way using another purpose

You can't add them to an existing DTV, they need their own DTV as the dependant of a parents DTV
