CRBA Timeline with the new process?

[mark99 1]

Looking to know how long after filing the correct paperwork did it take to get your child's passport in hand? We have our interview Nov 3. I know before it was less than a week or so, but since it's being processed in New Hampshire, I just want to know how long it takes. Thanks!!!!

What was your first Step in filing for CRBA?

1st step is to go online at the US Embassy Website, US Citizen Services and get a appointment date. My date is next THURSDAY.

Thanks for the great follow up post on this topic. My wife and I and our newborn will be going through the CRBA process in March 2012. She has a planned C-section scheduled for Feb. 20th in Cebu and we wanted to wait atleast a week before flying to Manila. Also we are not sure how long it will take the NSO to get us a certified copy of birth certificate after the birth? I have done tons of research on the subject and got my checklist for documents off the USA/Manila website and got most of it all together. I feel pretty confident it will go smoothe, we are married, have another child that was born in Texas, and all the other necessary proof.

Did you have any suprises in documents that the checklist wasn't clear about?

Thanks,

Wyatt

Hi, the NSO Birth Cert. takes a long time to get. Normal is 6 months. We paid our local govt. person to help expedite. It still took 2 months! Philippine Efficiency! As far as the docs go, I also took pics of my wife with a big belly with me and our other children in the photo. Then of course you have to prove that you were in the same physical location at time of conception. I had some boarding passes that I used as we happened to be in the States at conception. Also now they want proof you have lived in the states for a 5 year period or something like that. I used my college transcripts, but maybe a drivers license from the States would work, or something that ties you to the States. Anyway, I take more proof than I need so I had it just in case. I think clear cases are easy for them to judge. This was my 3rd CRBA.
