When you say daughter, your question depends on the status of your daughters citizenship? Does your child have US Citizenship thru CRBA? Or is she your wife's child?

Hullo Jay -

this 'daughter' - are you the biological father? If so - you may qualify for 'Consulate Record of Birth Abroad', as the child MAY be considered a USA Citizen.

If that is indeed the case (there is a 5 year residency requirement on this) , then no need to file I-130 for the daughter.

Please review http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwhppt.html

and

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwha003.html

and

download http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwf2029.pdf and http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfinst.pdf

A 'successful' CRBA results in USA Citizenship for the child, and a US Passport. No I-130 petition required.

There is a caveat, of course - if you don't meet the residency requirements (5 years in the USA) then you'll have to follow up with the I-130 for the daughter.

Good Luck !

What I was trying to ask you is are you the Bio Father or is the child your wife's, you did say" my daughter," a child born abroad and one of the parent is a US Citizen the child can claim Citizenship or otherwise known as (CRBA) Consular Report of Birth Abroad and a US Passport at the same time.

CRBA is not a birth certificate; it is an official record confirming that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth and serves as proof that citizenship.

[sjr09 155]

U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the USA for periods totaling five years prior to the child's birth, at least two of which where after their 14th birthday.

You do qualify to give your daughter derivative citizenship, follow Darnell´s info, and check it yourself.
