Kids don't get biometric done till age of 5 so it needs to be approved by officer. I guess we will use the opportunity to get her visa/I-797 updated as well.
I did inquire with CBP but they gave standard vanilla answer that we have to visit center to get this update which we can't do till she has the visa. Will post how it goes.
It was confusing at JFK-T7. When I asked the primary inspector that I want to go to EOA he just sent me to secondary inspection. There I sat for a while and finally the secondary agent called the the agent who processed me to ask why I was refereed as he could find no issue/notes. Secondary inspection agent apologized and then took he to a cubicle where another agent updated my I-797(at first he told me it can be done online as he has never done it and I told him it wasn't possible - he was friendly and said lets try)
