CRBA

[mrsSpitze 9]

We did the CRBA process for my son last year. My son was conceived in wedlock.

My BF and I were not married (thus being out of wedlock). My BF did not attend the interview as he was studying and because of work.

We were not asked to do a DNA test. We did the CRBA process when my son was around 4 months of age.

We brought with us all the required document, notarized all documents that needs to be ie ALL pages of ALL passports of USC. Proof of relationship before conception.

The interview went really well. my son did great.

The CRBA and passport took about 2-3 weeks to be delivered.

Also, you can apply for his SSN (for free). give it 7 days to be delivered.

Bring as much as you can and have... Then its all up to the consuler..

My two friends currently living in the PI, were married before their kids, great jobs, passports showing they are there every month- still had to do DNA tests.. Just part of the process. Thank all of the crooked people trying to break the rules before you.. Good luck.

anyone?

Sounds like they lacked the ability to establish a biological relationship with the child/applicant and the claimed U.S. citizen parent. I doubt it had anything at all to do with, "crooked people trying to break the rules before you.' By the way who's the crooked people? The US citizen parent(s) trying to establish 'Blood Relationship' with the child? You sound ignorant of the process.

my main and only consern right now is if a “Affidavit of Paternity and Support” (DS-5507) is required, they will have my notarized passport with entry and exxit stamps, and my original birth certificate. theres no way i could have left the states without a passport and i was born in the us so i have to have resided in the US, plus i couldnt have got my wifes CR1 visa if i didnt reside in the US

[sjr09 155]

Was she conceived in wedlock?

See here: http://manila.usemba...itizenship.html and on the right there are 3 criteria listed:

1. Physical Presence/Residence in the United States (this is where you prove you've lived in the US long enough to pass it on)

2. Legitimation/Legal Relationship (explained here: http://manila.usemba...itimation4.html the child is "legitimated" by virtue of your marriage)

3. Blood Relationship (Filiation) (explained here: http://manila.usemba...lationship.html there is NOTHING that says "just because you're married we're going to assume the kid is yours). 100% Agree

I'm not trying to be offensive when I say, there is no proof your wife didn't get pregnant to someone else and you married her to get her child USC. Or that she didn't tel you she was pregnant and you just think the child is yours. They can accept proof that you were there at the time of conception (the dates matching), they can decide that it's a bit suspicious and instead ask for a DNA test. Being married only makes you married, and makes the child legally yours, it doesn't prove the child is biologically yours.100% Agree

If it helps, it's rare (but not impossible) to see a child conceived and born in wedlock require a DNA test, but if the child was conceived out of wedlock your chances are higher for a DNA test. Not 100%, but higher. 100% Disagree. Legitimacy can easily be established for out of wedlock children. Ether way, in or out of wedlock, it all boils down to the ability to establish a biological relationship with the child/applicant and the claimed U.S. Depends on the CO and on your relationship.Depends on the CO and your ability to establish a biological relationship with the child/applicant.

YES she WAS conceived IN wedlock, so do i need the “Affidavit of Paternity and Support” (DS-5507)? I wont be at the interview, only my wife. I sent my original birth certificate like you said. i also am having her bring more photos of her b4 and after pregnancy. Btw my baby is whiter than her and every filipino in any pictures i see my daughter in, we skye every day and her eyes are dramatically wider than a Filipinos eyes would be.
