My nephew was born 2008 whose father was Lawful Permanent Resident at that time. In 2009 his father was naturalize as US citizen. We are confused if CRBA is applicable to be use since his father is a US citizen.

If following-to-Join route, what will be timeline for it? Thanks.

CRBA doesn't apply as the father was not a USC at time of birth (assuming mom isn't either).

USC parent can file a I-130 for minor child, no waiting required, child should get visa in 5-8 months.

Thank you for your reply. It was short but clear. My nephew's mother was not a USC but just get her approval in IR1 visa. They are deciding to get my nephew by "Following-in". I was thinking CRBA and that procedure are the same. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Just to clarify, there is no "Follow to Join" or derivative status for the child based on the Mom's CR/IR-1.

The child will need to have an I-130 Petition & their own IR/CR-2 Visa issued.

Hi,

Your nephew is not eligible for CRBA coz he was born 2008 when his father was still greencard holder.If he was born by the time that his father became US citizen,then he can apply for CRBA in able to transmit the US citizenhip.

U mention that ur nephew Mom's was approved for her IR1 Visa.My question is: they did included ur nephew in the petition?If they did,then ur nephew will get IR2 visa and he will be leaving with his mom at the same time.

This is 100% incorrect. There is NO DERIVATIVE STATUS for minor children based on the parent's CR-1/IR-1.

The child needs their own approved I-130 followed by an approved IV Application (including medical & interview) in order to get CR/IR-2.

They will need to follow the same process for the child as they did for the mother.
