Hi VJ!

I just want to ask how long will it take for the CRBA to take from the date of application until it will be released?

Hi, can I ask if you had an experience of getting DNA for your child CRBA apllication? As what I know it is hard if your child was born out of wedlock. Most of parents who are out of wedlock are having difficulty for US embassy to approve. Like for instance in my situation where still dont know if our application have to get DNA. It is almost 2 months now doesnt have news yet for our child US passport.

The difficulty lies with the lack of substantial documentation, ie proof of biological relationship with the child/applicant and the claimed U.S. this applies to both in and out of wedlock biological parents, not just out of wedlock.

The burden of proving the blood relationship is on the person making the claim to U.S. citizenship.

. 2 months? Why have you not Inquired? As for DNA http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/blood-relationship.html

hi! What did the officer tell you during interview? Most cases, if they require u to have dna test, they give u a letter. Better call the us embassy to update you status ;-)

Thank you Sjr09, you are right. And I did call US embassy this afternoon and told me that our baby's passport was approved and will wait 4 weeks to get it in the consul office. Thank God they did not require for DNA.

Thank you Angeljay for suggesting, I did already this afternoon and got good news. No DNA, the examiner was satisfied with all the docs we submitted. And will wait for 4 weeks...but its ok the important is it is approved.
