Yung scenario is pag naglodge ka hindi mo pa madedeclare na may dependent ka kasi hindi pa nanganganak si misis. So pag nanganak siya you need to fill up a certain form to update your circumstances. Tapos need mo rin itake into consideration yung pagkuha ng passport at medicals ni baby. Hindi ko kasi alam kung gano kabilis yung pagprocess ng passport ngayon.
