A couple of very important questions!

[Regan L 1]

My wife lives in the Philippines, i live in America, recently her cr1 visa was approved:) they said all of her papers were good and they took her passport, early next month my wife and my 2 month old daughter will have a certificate of birth abroad appointment. My wife has all the documents needed for that appointment but im fairly sure she needs her passport for our daughters appointment but as i said b4 they took it. Also our daughter was already scheduled for a certificate of birth abroad appointment b4 but she was to young to have the NSO birth certificate she needed, she only had the one issued by the LCR(i believe thats the correct abbreviation. So they told her to make a new appointment and to come back when our baby is 3 months old and has received the NSO birth certificate. She was also planning to get her cfo stamp on her trip to manila for our daughter, how can she get that with no passport. So i have some questions. P.S. She lives at the bottom of the Philippines and i sent her to manila for the interview and i will send her back again for our daughters appointment. Also she has already attended the seminar and just needs to get the registering stamp in her passport.

1. How long does will it take for my wife to get her visa/passport by mail(she lives at the bottom of the Philippines)?

2.What if shes back in manila for our daughters appointment when her passport arrives at her house, will they give it to her brother that lives there?

3. How can she get her CFO stamp without her passport?(she has already attended the seminar and just needs to get the registering stamp in her passport)?

4. The 2nd my daughter turns 3 months old can she get her NSO birth certificate that day or is it going to take like a week or something?

5. Lastly, me and my wife were already married when she got pregnant with our daughter and we have all the required documentation asked for in regards to the certificate of birth abroad appointment, plus she now has been approved for her CR1 visa, will it be a problem if she goes alone to that appointment alone because i cannot leave work right now to attend said appointment with her?

THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO HELPS:)

Most of your questions need to be posted on the Philippine forum b/c they're specific to your country. The only thing is that I remember that it is a requirement that BOTH parents be present at a CRBA interview, both my husband and I had to be there when we did it for my son. It might differ between different embassies, so I'd check the website for the US Embassy in Manila to make sure. Most of the time that kind of information is readily available on US Embassy websites.
