CRBA

[Regan L 1]

IMO the W2 and drivers lic. are weak docs it really doesn’t prove U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the USA for periods totaling five years prior to the child’s birth, at least two of which where after their 14th birthday. However your high school transcript and US passport would.

　

This was the list of documents I submitted to prove my US citizenship.

True copy of live birth cert. with original seal of vital records office. (Original COPY)

High School transcript . (Copy)

My passport, you should send a copy of ever page not just the Bio.

"When you say youve seen many people not have troubles, do you mean not have to take the dna test?"

YES they had the necessary documents to satisfy the requirement....

i did not have a spare original birth certificate to send so i copied the front side of it and had a notary notarize that it was true copy of my birth certificate

also i had the notary stamps/seal/notarize a colored copy of every page of my US passport, dosent my wife having a CR1 Spousal visa to me, proove that im a US citizen?

On one of the links I gave you they ask that you have all original docs and a copy of each, they may ask to see the original. I may sound like a stickler but having everything as required is what got me through the process.
