Are you a US citizen? If so get the CRBA filed and US passport.

Hi,

There is no reason to wait for your wife's case to leave the NVC.

Filing a CRBA and US passport for your child has nothing to do with your wife's case.

File it now and get it over with.

Best of luck.

You need proof of your US citizenship - US passport, naturalization certificate, or US birth certificate.

You need proof that you are the father - you listed as the father on your child's birth certificate.

Proof that you meet the 5 years of US residency (2 years of which is after age 14) - high school transcript, college transcript, US tax returns, etc.

You do not need to be in Jamaica.

Since you are a citizen the child is considered a citizen by birth, so therefore you don't need to include the baby whatsoever on your wife's petition. The baby will travel on US passport and your wife with her visa.
