Baby visa during K1 Procedures

[Jay94 0]

Hi everyone, thank you for all the help. I could not have done this well without you guys. My Fiancees interview date is January 25th 2011. Our baby is due on Nov 2nd. I will be in Ghana from Oct 16th to Nov 7th. She lives and will deliver 3hrs from the embassy. Does anyone know the process for claiming a baby as an US citizen. What steps should I take and will this change anything with her K1. I have recently moved out of the state for a new job. I just need to call them and let them know correct? Thank You

Consular Birth Abroad Report. The baby doesnt get a visa. When its born you report the birth to the consul and then you can apply for a US passport for the baby.

Thank you, So does the baby have to be present, or can I bring the birth certificate to the embassy before I leave. Do you know how long the process usually takes. I was told that the baby has to get a ghanaian visa once he becomes an american citizen. If he does not have one we are charged a rediculous amount of money. Thanks for any help

USUALLY just need the USC to go to the interview with the birth certificate and fill out the forms and bring the payment. ( of course usc needs his name on the birth cert of the baby )

I dont know anything about a USC newborn baby needing a ghanian visa since he/she was born IN ghana and didnt travel there.

I would suggest sending them an email inquiry to ask the specifics or see if someone else has been in the same situation with ghana.

Correct. The baby is a US citizen and is not eligible for a visa. The baby is eligible for a passport. No visa needed.
