My wife and I had a child back in March 2015. We were both married at the time. Now, I am starting the work for the K3 spousal visa and the CRBA for my child.

The question is: do I need to file a separate I-130 for my child if my child will already be obtaining a US passport through the CRBA process?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

No, your child is a US Citizen therefore a Visa is not needed nor would be issued

You do realize the chances of that K3 going through without being stopped and turned into a CR1 is about zero right?

K3 is an old process when CR1's were taking forever.

Its a bit of a waste now as they will cancel the K3 and process the CR1 when they combine.

Just file the CR1 (I-130)

You're PI so you should get expedited still.

We filed Oct 14, TSC approved Oct 31, Interview May 27th, so 7 1/2 months.

By law, a US visa cannot be issued to a US citizen.
