First, are you a US citizen? or the husband? if one of you are US citizen then the daughter is automatic us citizen .

Get the original birth certificate at NSO, Fill up the form online then schedule it to go at US embassy Manila.

Bring all the original copies

Bring also your Passport, Birth Certificate and Marriage contract and same to your husband

Apply CRBA and Passport while you are already at US embassy Manila..

good luck

I don't understand you case? 1-130 for whom? for you?

you don't need to petition your daughter because she is automatic a US citizen.. all you need is report the CRBA and the same time

She is NOT an automatic USC just because one parent is a USC. The parent has to meet th residency requirements AND the USC parent has to go to the Embassy with the mother and child to file a CRBA.

I guess this is why the OP has a pending I-130 for her daughter, since the father is not with them at the moment.

Only the USC father can apply for the CRBA, not the foreign mother. You will have to get the father to come to Philippines and go to the Embassy together with you and the child.

If your flights next week, and you don't have an CRBA or an approved I-130 with what kind of visa is your child traveling to the US? If you don't have a valid visa the airline will deny you (and your child) boarding. If you have a green card (I-551), but can't do the CRBA, your child might qualify for an automatic green card and derivative citizenship.

MOTHER/ FATHER/ PARENTS:

NOTE: If the US citizen parents transmitting citizenship to the child is not present, he/she may complete state department form Ds 5507 affidavit of percentage and support

and submit separately: the parent completing this application should provide as much information on the parent completing the form ds5507 as he/she has

[Lingladyinred19 13]

The child born outside the USA and one of the parents is a US citizen she/he will be automatic a US citizen..

DS5507 has nothing to do with CRBA!

Again, the child is only a US citizen by birth, if the CRBA is completed at the Embassy. Just having one USC parent doesn't automatic transfer citizenship! Shiela, read the guidlines:

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/reporting-births-and-citizenship-questions.html

Proof of the U.S. citizen parent's physical presence in the U.S. (This is not required if BOTH parents are U.S. citizens.) For children born to one U.S. citizen and one foreign national, the U.S. citizen parent will need to show five years of physical presence in the U.S., two of which must be after the age of 14. Examples of items that show physical presence are school transcripts, income tax returns with Form W-2, Social Security earnings history, pay receipts, passport entry/exit stamps in current and previous passports, etc.

To clarify, the child is either automatically a U.S. citizen at birth, or she is not a U.S. citizen at all.

If her parents are both U.S. citizens in wedlock or if she has one U.S. citizen parent and that parent meets certain residency requirements at the time of her birth (the specific rules for the various cases can be seen here: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_5199.html), the child is automatically a U.S. citizen at birth.

A CRBA never gives someone U.S. citizenship. A CRBA can only be gotten for someone who already has U.S. citizenship at birth. For someone who has U.S. citizenship at birth, a CRBA is not required to make them a U.S. citizen.

A CRBA is also not required to apply for a U.S. passport. Simply having proof of U.S. citizenship (i.e. proof that your parent(s) transmitted citizenship to you at birth) is enough to apply for a U.S. passport. However, a CRBA makes it more convenient.

***** that is not true! I applied the CRBA and US passport here i. The philippines without the presence of the fiance... He just sent me the notarized documents to where i have to present on my interview....

She is from philippines and your case is in MUBAI.. i don't know what is in your country why is like that..

but to be honest with you.. her daughter is automatic US citizen and look at the form of CRBA read under that message..

there is a note:

MOTHER/ FATHER/ PARENTS:

NOTE: If the US citizen parents transmitting citizenship to the child is not present, he/she may complete state department form Ds 5507 affidavit of percentage and support and submit separately: the parent completing this application should provide as much information on the parent completing the form ds 5507 as he/she has

that's why all she need is let the father fill up the form of Ds 5507, even the father will not show up in the interview.. I have a friend same situation to her right now

and she get the her child US passport with out the presence of the husband. as long there's a proof that the husband is a us citizen..
