hi! im new here in VJ. the reason i signed up because i need answers to my questions regarding my son's case.

My Fiance visited me last February of this year and after that i got pregnant and i gave birth to our son last Nov.

My K1 visa was filed already and has been approved by the USCIS. I am about to schedule for my medical and my interview but before doing so i want to know what are the requirements needed for my son for him to travel with me if ever i will be issued the Visa. Does he need a visa, passport and medical? what are the steps to take for him to go to the US? Please do help me. Thank you!

**** Moving from CR-1 to CRBA as son most likely needs this process ****

Is your fiance a US citizen, and has lived in the USA for at least 5 years? If so, your son is a US citizen too, you need to file Consular Report of Birth Abroad to get him a US passport, no visa needed: http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html

In addition too the above, get your son his PI Passport preferable before his CRBA/US Passport.

your son is USC, no need for visa but, he would need his own passport. You have to file a CRBA at the embassy/consulate and get his passport. check this link:

hi sjr09!!

thats what i want to know if i still need to get a Philippine passport for my son before getting a US Passport for him...

thank you so much!!

If you wish you can certainly get his PI passport after the CRBA. Not the best option IMO.

Doing his PI passport before will avoid the oath taking and unnecessary time/hassles and paper work from the Philippine Bureau of Immigration.

We did it before the CRBA, in and out the door with no problems.

If the child is issued his CRBA he will not need a medical, it is advisable the US citizen parent be at the interview but not necessary @ USEM. You will need additional forms from him if your doing the interview with only you and the child. See CRBA checklist "Statement of Consent" (DS-3053) "Affidavit of Paternity and Support" (DS-5507)

Yes, you can apply for him as soon as he is born.

No medical :)
