cutiezoe,

You are in the same boat of mine as well for baby's situation

By birth, baby will be Filipino citizen (Get Philippines birth certificate and all the child birth records in the hospital including original ultrasound scans etc.). Then, you can make the baby the U.S citizen if:

1) One or both the parents is/are USC when the baby is born (in your case, father is USC)

2) USC parent is based in the U.S for the last 5 years before the baby is born in any status including USC, LPR etc.

If you qualify, both parents must be present in the Manila Consulate (American Citizen Service - ACS) with the baby to apply CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad). During this appointment, you can file CRBA and apply baby's US passport and SSN.

SSN is free. But there is a fee for CRBA and U.S passport. Also, check with your consulate if the appointment is needed. Some may be just walk-in as well.

In India, we had U.S birth certificate and US passport for our daughter in 1.5 months time, I think. But, SSN took few months to arrive. If you are not keen for SSN for any purpose including tax filing, you may apply SSN after reaching the U.S as well. It is very easy in the U.S.

Good luck!

You are qualified, cutiezoe

Your hubby can be USC just 1 sec before the baby's birth to qualify baby's CRBA plus at least 5 years physical presence in the U.S. He has 7 years, which is good
