I am Polish national living in Poland with a child who was born in Europe and who lives with me, has always lived with me in Poland but whose father is a US citizen, we were never married and he does not have a relationship with his child. I want my child (who is 9)to have US citizenship but so far the father will not sign an affidavit of presence. Is there anyway to get my child US citizenship without the fathers cooperation? Or is him cooperating the only thing that will make this happen for our child?

He will have to cooperate as far as I know - especially that most likely you'll end up doing DNA tests...

Thank you for your response, will he be forced to corporate? He already pays child support from a US order, so DNA has been proved.

USC must initiate the process. Without his cooperation I doubt if you can do anything.

Can i request affidavits from his friends and family members? Would they count or is he the only person he can sign? Sorry for all the questions.

affidavits mean nothing and carry no weight at all.

USC parent would have to file CRBA in Warsaw. There is no way anyone can force him if he doesn't want to do it.

Ditto on affidavits.

I need to amend my previous statements. From DS-2029 instructions it looks like non-USC parent may be able to apply for CRBA after all.

This requires a lot of documents which would need to be provided by the USC parent, so you may still have a lot of problems to file if there is no cooperation from him.

Please talk to the US Consul in Warsaw (you need to make an appointment), as this is the only person who really will be able to answer all your questions.

Please see this link for more information on CRBA from US Department of State website: http://travel.state.gov/travel/living/living_5497.html
