Cr1-baby on the way.

[DydyLo 1]

Hello everyone.

I've been lurking here for a long time now. Lot's of information and helpful people.

i would like to thank you all in advance for helping us.

Here's our situation. My wife might give birth on or before nvc approved our case. Even if they do, I will not let my wife travel 3 hours just to go to her medical/interview. My only option would be to reschedule her interview/medical to a later date.

1st. Question. What or hows the process of rescheduling.

2. Will the new born affect her visa application?

3. Since we have a child by the time she gets interviewed. Does that mean I need to send her a new affidavit of support? I think yes, but just in case. :-)

4. What else does she need? Any additional papers to bring in case?

5. I've been reading how to file crba. It's confusing. What needs to include in the packet that needs to be sent to the embassy?

5.a they are twins. Does that mean 2 separate packet? Or 2 packet in 1 mailing envelope? Or put everything in 1 envelope with 2 application form.

5.c how long does it usually takes for them to respond after they received the packet.

5.d what's the average time they schedule appointmen after they have everything they need from us.

Thanks a lot guys.

I don't know much (read anything) about the crab process. I would think you'll need 2 separate applications 1 for each child because they're getting separate passports. Rescheduling can be done at embassy website. Maybe someone else here knows how long after post-partum you have to wait for slec interview. I don't know if it is recommended to get vaccinations while breast feeding if she is and how you handle that when she does go to slec or usem. Each will probably warrant an overnight stay.

Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in. And congrats on the new family.

Thanks buddy.

I'll just probably do that to make sure. 2 separate packets. Hopefully they can figure out that they are twins and schedule them at the same date and time of appointment.

Don't count on that happening. You're dealing with the government, haha. It will be interesting to follow the other aspects of your situation.

I've found that if you have out of the ordinary issues the help you get here is mostly hearsay, because most BM's have never experienced the requirement so not a lot of experience to fall back on. Just the reality of the situation. Good luck.

You definitely would need individual aps such as they are for each child.

You're right. It's the government we are talking about. They don't care.

If the site didn't went down. We're probably done by now. Oh well.

Hopefully they won't make this process painfull as the nvc stage.

Good luck to all of us.

Hi,

1. Contact the US Embassy to reschedule.

2. No.

3. Yes since your household size will increase by 2 when the babies are born.

4. No.

5. CRBA has nothing to do with your wife. It's a separate process to inform the US Embassy that a US citizen has been born abroad and for you to get a US passport for your child.

5a. Two separate CRBAs.

5c. A few weeks to a few months.

5d. Each embassy is different. Someone else may be able to answer this.

Best of luck.

Thanks. Hopefully it will be a short/er wait. To get everything done. Getting tired of waiting.

Wife will most likely get one appointment schedule for both. Send one packet with two separate applications for each twin.

I think my husband didn't send me a new AOS. My interview was about a month after our baby was born and I wasn't asked for it.

There is a Facebook group for parents going through the CRBA process in the PH and you might get better answers there for time estimates. It's a closed group but I'm pretty sure it's searchable.

You have twins?

Can you be more detailed on 2 separate applications in 1 packet.

Thank you so much.

what did you put on your packet? I'm still confused of what to put.

Thanks again

Is the address at the us embassy manila site correct for crba? Cause it seems short/missing. I'll be sending my packet from here.(states). I just want to make sure. The address on the site: 1201 Roxas boulevard, 0930 manila

1st. Question. What or hows the process of rescheduling. YOU CAN CALL THE EMBASSY TO RESCHEDULE OR RESCHEDULE ONLINE. WITH IMMIGRATE VISAS I SUGGEST CALLING.

2. Will the new born affect her visa application? YES - THE VISA WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL CRBA IS COMPLETED FOR EACH CHILD.

3. Since we have a child by the time she gets interviewed. Does that mean I need to send her a new affidavit of support? I think yes, but just in case. :-) YES. AND BEING TWO NEW BABIES YOU ARE NOW A FAMILY OF 4.

4. What else does she need? Any additional papers to bring in case? ONCE CRBA IS COMPLETED AND THE CHILDREN HAVE THEIR U.S. PASSPORTS, YOU NEED TO BRING COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTATION FROM THE CRBA APPROVAL

5. I've been reading how to file crba. It's confusing. What needs to include in the packet that needs to be sent to the embassy?

5.a they are twins. Does that mean 2 separate packet? Or 2 packet in 1 mailing envelope? Or put everything in 1 envelope with 2 application form. YES TWO SEPARATE APPLICATIONS, DON'T SEE ANY ISSUE INCLUDING THEM IN ONE ENVELOPE, JUST MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE APPLICATIONS SEPARATELY CLIPPED TOGETHER.

5.c how long does it usually takes for them to respond after they received the packet. NOT SURE ON THIS. POST A NEW TOPIC ON THE CRBA PROCESS, HOPEFULLY OTHERS WILL ASSIST WITH THIS. COULD DO A SEARCH ALSO ON CRBA

5.d what's the average time they schedule appointmen after they have everything they need from us. "see above response"

Thanks a lot guys.

Thanks hank. You really are a very helpful and knowledgeable fellow. Pretty much I'm done with everything except sending the packet. I might do that on monday. It sucks though until now my wife's case is still at the nvc and under supervisor review. The case had been stuck there for almost 4 months now.hopefully crba process will be better.
