HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF WE HAVE TO FILE FOR ASEPARATE I-130 FOR OUR SON HE WAS BORN HERE IN THE PHILS. AND MY HUSBAND IS IN THE ARMY HE IS DEPLOYED IN IRAQ.

OR IS IT BETTER IF WE REGISTER HIM TO THE EMBASSY TO BE A USCITIZEN?

THANKS

If son has one parent that is a US Citizen, then register the child's birth at the embassy or consulate, the child of a US Citizen is a US Citizen and will be issued a US Passport and will not be immigrating.

Yes he can. I have a 9 week old son and he received his american birth certificate ABROAD and US Passport when he was 4 weeks old. You have to have a lot of paperwork ...call your consulat and they tell you what you have to bring. Once you bring all the paperwork to the appointment WITH YOUR CHILD to the consulat it took them 10 mins to look it over and 1 1/2 weeks later I received his us passport and us birth certificate abroad in the mail NO ISSUES. He will have no issues getting his american citizenship.

Now we are just waiting for my I130 to go through. Ask if you have any more questions. We have 2 children and I have been through it

Good luck

Normally, the USC needs to appear before the Consulate to claim citizenship for the child. With the USC father being in the Military and currently deployed is there a different protocol?

no my husband is in the us and he didnt have to show up at the consulst. they sent him 2 papers to fill out in front of a notary public in the US, given me permission to get our sons passprt etc. and he had to prove his citizenship by providing me with a certified copy of his birthcertificate and US passport. he also had to prove he lived in the US more than 5 years since the age of 18. tax returns or college transcripts and letter from his company how long he has worked there. i went to the consulat with our son with all the papers. no problem he was not present.

Ohh and sorry. Yes you are right there is a different way that you have to do it when the USC is in the military. I received a papers explaining both ways. If the USC is military or civilian. If he is in the military it is even easier because you dont have to show all the proof ...just some documents from the Military. She should be able to do it without her husband being present. Like I said with us it was no issue with my husband not being here in Germany at the consulat.

Ohh and Dylan's wife. I saw your journey and timeline. HOpe your daughter is ok and you received your interview date. Its horrible when children are involved and especially if they are sick. good luck
