US Citizen Mother Applying for CRBA

[MlssRcdCrz 0]

Hello,

I'm applying my daughter for a CRBA. I was wondering, since I'm the US citizen and have lived in the US from birth (1996) - 08/09 (I forgot) do I need to fill out form DS-5507? The father is a Filipino citizen and has never been out of the country. Thanks.

P.S. I'm also applying for her US passport. She doesn't have an SSN yet. When applying for CRBA, I know they will also let her apply for a passport. Will they also give her an SSN number? Because I can't fill out the passport application electronically without an SSN.

What US embassy your planning on applying at USEM I assume?

Your situation differs then the norm one typically reads on this site for the CRBA, your the mother of the child and a USC.

Legitimation requirements are automatically considered legitimated. However a biological relationship with the child/applicant and the claimed U.S. citizen parent (you the mother)must be established and the USC (you the mother) must meet certain physically present in the United States requirements.: http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/derivative-claim-to-citizenship.html

.As for “Affidavit of Parentage, Physical Presence and Support” (DS-5507) Persons born out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen father and non-U.S. Citizen mother typically apply only to the above underlined.

The American Citizen Services section does not process requests for children's social security numbers. Although there is a reference to obtaining a social security number on the appointment system, Embassy Manila has a separate Social Security Administration office.

Print the passport form and fill it out in BLACK ink. The Consulate in Shanghai processed all her paperwork in one shot. CBRA, passport and SSC.

Fill out every form you think that you might even remotely need. It is much easier to not need a piece than not have it filled out and they tell you sorry come back when you have it filled out.
