CRBA and CR-1

[William Lee 1]

1. Before getting a CRBA, Consular Record of Birth Abroad, do you need a DNA or blood test for them to see if you are the parents ?

2. After getting a CRBA and passport, the child can immediately come to the USA with one of the parents, yes or No ?

I think I'm in the same boat (I130). I was born and raised in the USA.

I have a child coming soon. Most likely the child will come before the interview process. I am still waiting for my NOA2. It has been over 6 months since receiving NOA1. The child is expected sometime in July/August 2012. Planning to leave the Child with the grand parents for 1 to 1.5 year.

Thanks...

PS forgot to ask, if the child can't come over with one of the parent, I am assuming I have to file another i-130 and wait 12 to 14 months.

i'll add one thing - the China Exit Stamp - Child must have this stamp in USA passport before leaving China. Is not done at the airport.
