Hello Everybody,

I have been going through the visa process for quite a while now and am awaiting approval on my wife's I-751, but do not know how to advise a friend of mine. His situation is this. He is an American citizen. His girlfrend is 3 months pregnant with there child and living in her home country of the Philippines. He is here, but will be going back to the Philippines in October indefinately. Should they apply for K-1? K-3? CR-1? I am assuming that the baby will be a U.S. citizen at birth. Should they wait for the birth of their child before doing anything? Sorry about the many questions. Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Peace, Sherose

They should wait until they have a plan to return to the US before they do anything except document the child as the child of a US Citizen.

If he stays more than 6 months he can marry her there and do a DCF [i-130] CR-1. DCF is much faster.

He will have to do CRBA at USEM to get the childs US Citizenship.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

Consular Report of Birth Abroad. In the PI, they may require a DNA test because the parents aren't married.

Having to have a DNA test is up to the CO. K1 friend of mine recently went thru the CRBA process at USEM and the DNA test wasn't required. His wifes skin is beautiful brown and he is white. Baby popped out white!!
