How will my daughter be petitioned, through K2 or through family petition?

[jui_uy 1]

My US citizen boyfriend and I have a 9 month old daughter who was born here in the Philippines, how will she be petitioned, through a K2 visa or through family petition, since he will soon be applying for a k1 visa for me.

You will file the Consular Report of Birth Abroad at the US embassy to obtain a US passport for the child. http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html

If your US citizen fiance is the father of the child then the child can't get a visa. The child has a claim to US citizenship, and US citizens don't get visas to come to the US. They get US passports.

Anh Map told you what you need to do. File a CRBA and get a US passport for your child.

How long does a CRBA and US passport for my child take? Does this mean if my K1 visa will be approved, my daughter can't come with me?

You should be able to take care of the CRBA before your interview. Without a passport your daughter would not be able to enter the US.

My US citizen boyfriend and I have a 9 month old daughter who was born here in the Philippines, how will she be petitioned, through a K2 visa or through family petition, since he will soon be applying for a k1 visa for me.

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.

Thank you so much for the detailed answer... Appreciate it... My boyfriend is in the US Military Service, I do hope he won't have trouble providing his proof of US Citizenship even though he wasn't a natural-born US Citizen.
