Is your son also the son of your US citizen husband? If yes, then your son may have claims to US citizenship if your husband meets the residency requirements. This can be met by submitting a CRBA with the consulate

If no, then your husband must file an I-130 for the child

Good luck

This is a NVC topic, not adjustment of status.. Moving this to the NVC forum.

Is US Citizen the child's biological parent? If so then get birth registered at the US Consulate and get child a US Passport.

There is no automatic derivative visa for a CR-1 visa, A Petition for each immigrant needs to be filed, one for spouse, and one for each step-child. How old was your son when married? If less than 18 years old then Step Parent can file a petition for child, if 18 or older, then you will have to file a petition after you arrive in the USA and get green-card.

Then the son of a qualifying US Citizen needs a US passport not a CR2 visa. NVC would not be involved in this process.

Qualifying US Citizen:

If your child was born on or after 11/14/86, and only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of the child's birth, the child may have acquired U.S. citizenship at birth if the 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.

If a child was adopted by an American citizen(s), or if the U.S. citizen parent has not met the physical presence requirement, then the child cannot be issued a Consular Report of Birth Abroad. Please refer to the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 for further information on how to document your child as an American Citizen.

Really not that much is changing, othter then short laps in the application being adjudicated.

In order to upgrade our systems for this change, the (Embassy, Consulate, and Consulate General) is suspending CRBA adjudication from January 1 through January 18, 2011. CRBA applications submitted during that time will be adjudicated after January 18.

This depends on you! Your documentation, accuracy (ability to avoid errors) and the time it takes you, ‘put it all together‘. For me after the adjudicated CRBA at USEM was ten days to receive the passport and Cert.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONSULAR REPORT OF BIRTH ABROAD OF A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfinst.pdf

This was my experience with the process at the US Embassy in Manila.

I recommend that the US Parent be at the interview. Both my wife and I was present .

Application are accommodated by appointment only. When I was in the PI I did mine as a drop in case with my daughter because of time constraint and got the interview four days later. Can't say that it will work for everyone.

9) of instructions, is what seems to be the main emphasis and area of concern and investigation.

One thing for you to be concerned is For out of wedlock children But I must emphasize all of the documentary evidence on part 9

For me the main things they looked at was physical presence in the same location at applicant's time of conception, ultrasound and pre-natal care records, they never ask for pictures or looked at the one's I submitted." but never say never"

They talked a lot about DNA and my case was bullet proof so just be prepared.

Don't forget you have to bring the child with you they want to see him/her.

This is my list of documents that I submitted to the US embassy in Manila for CRBA.

DS-2029 with 2"x 2" full face passport photo with white background. (child)

NSO true copy birth Cert. (child)

Passport application. (child)

Proof of parent US citizenship.

1) US passport.

2) True copy of live birth cert. with original seal of vital records office. A must have!

3)High School transcript ..(Yeah funny, but I'll tell you more about it later it's not a joke)

4)True copy of NSO Marriage cert.

5) Proof of physical presence in same location at time of conception. Airline tickets, copy of visa stamps.

6) Proof of mothers pregnancy, ultrasound, pre-natal records, hospital billing statements, and pictures.

Now about the school transcript you as a US citizen have to prove you are a citizen, you have to show that you have been living in the US for 5 years two after age 14….. They will not take your tax returns as proof, I can tell you why but I don't want to write a small book about it. When you give them your school transcript they take them with out a word…Had her US passport and CRBA cert. in about 10 days at my wife's home. PI.

Good Luck!

Note: If your child is in the PI with only CRBA and US passport, you need to make sure you get your child his/her PI passport if you do not your looking at costly fees from the BI, exit permit and or late fees. One plus is with both US and PI passport your child will have Dual Citizenship, with out the hassle, of more paperwork .
