Hi all!,

Just finished my daughters REPORT OF BIRTH ABROAD at the embassy in Fukuoka, Japan and had a question.

If my daughter is going to have an American passport and be an American Citizen, do we need to include her information in my wife's DS-230?

She WILL be accompanying my wife to the states, however she will be an American citizen and I thought, therefore, not immigrating to the US and not needing to be in the DS-230.

Also do I just send in the DS-230 and my wife passport bio page and save all the other Koseki Tohon (birth certificate), and police cert, and medical check, and all that for when she goes to the interview? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

She would not be included in the DS-230 as an individual who is immigrating. However, she does need to be listed in the field that says to list any children you have.

Also do I just send in the DS-230 and my wife passport bio page and save all the other Koseki Tohon (birth certificate), and police cert, and medical check, and all that for when she goes to the interview? Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Birth certificate and police certificate along with a copy of the passport bio page are required to be submitted to the NVC. Medical report is brought to the interview.
