Im confused? Opinions please

This is a repeat summary but i have a different question. My wife lives in the Philippines, i live in America, recently her cr1 visa was approved a couple of days ago:) they said all of her papers were good and they took her passport, in early january my wife and our 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. 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 a question. 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.

Im not sure if she will be able to get her passport in time so I want to reschedule her CRBA appointment so she has more time to get her passport back, the only thing thats stopping me is that during her interview for her cr1 visa, she showed the consular officer the appointment letter for liaras crba, and the consular officer wrote down the date as if it was important to my wife's case. Is it going to be a problem if we reschedule the appointment after the consular wrote it down? I think if i postponed the trip alittle so my wife would have time to receive her passport that would be perfect but, id hate to cuase problems if its written on my wifes files that she told the consular officer that appointment letter for our baby then didnt go on that date.

I don't see how rescheduling will cause issues, maybe that just me but seriously I don't think it would be an issue.

Had my daughters NSO at 3 months of age and her CRBA was completed at 4months old. Yes it can take 6 months, for the NSO BC what most people fail to do is file ADVANCE ENDORSEMENT of the child's NSO BC ASAP.

You was told about this before. Your always making duplicate threads or asking the same questions in new ones, maybe if you expand just one post you'll be able to go back and read if you don't remember what you have been told.

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?

Did you apply for ADVANCE ENDORSEMENT of her NSO BC? If not, the normal processing of NSO BC takes 6 MONTHS. Check with your LCR if something can be made to speed things up.
