My baby will be born soon! His father is a US citizen.

How do I apply for a Consular Registration of Birth Abroad for the baby? I need step by step procedures including application for her passport and SSN. What does it mean that the baby must be LEGITIMATED? How long does everything take?

I live in the Philippines. My fiance and I are going to apply for another K1 petition soon.

My son was born in Germany in 1991 so he has this certificate. I'm sure the procedures have changed since then. Im fairly certain you will need proofs of birth and citizenship for both yourself and your fiancee.

Legitimation Method 2 - The person can be legitimated if:

the father (unless deceased) has agreed in writing to provide financial support

for the person until the person reaches the age of 18 years and,

while the person is under the age of 18 years -

the person is legitimated under the law of the person's residence or domicile,

the father acknowledges paternity of the person in writing under oath, or

the paternity of the person is established by adjudication of a competent court.

Thats from the Embassy section on Legitimated. It means that your fiance can submit a statement agreeing to provide financial support of the child and also do one under Oath acknowledging paternity.

Go to the USEM Manila website: That should give you a start on procedures.

Good luck

Step by Step you ask?

Just click on the link swtrick posted.. It gives you the step by step procedure..

Time of the procedure may vary... It all depends on how busy they are @ the USEM and easy is your case.

Like with my daughter they were so busy it took 4 weeks to get an Interview, we even got a special day on a Saturday because it was so busy.

I'll be doing the same this june after I give birth to baby Rohan, the only difference is that i already have my k1 visa and it's only valid till oct 23.

First thing i'll have to do is to get baby his NSO BC, then after that order forms from Fedex and have them pick it up and wait for the interview appointment..i'm just hoping it won't take that long..
