CRBA proof of physical presence alternate solution

[Mark88 184]

can you explain the procedure for BTL?

Make CRBA appointment -> Have CRBA denied -> Ask for issuance of BTL

If the family is not relocating to the US, then yes. But here the OP says they are relocating to the US. 9 FAM 41.31 N14.6-3 clearly says that the child would not qualify for a B2 visa for naturalization if the family is relocating to the US; in that case an immigrant visa is required.

If N-600K is approved, the embassy will issue a B-2 for travel.

Again, the FAM clearly says that a B2 visa for child naturalization 1) is subject to the INA 214(b) the immigrant intent provision, and 2) will be denied if the family is relocating to the US. How much more clear can you get than that? People on VisaJourney have had N-600K approved and B2 visa denied because they were moving to the US. And nothing this third-party site says says anything to to contrary -- it says the person is continuing to reside abroad.

Why go through all of this? Just file the I-130 for an immigrant visa. Upon entry with the immigrant visa, the child becomes a USC. The I-864w would apply. Easy peasy with a birth certificate.

Simply because it is easier and costs less: A CRBA is necessary to proove to USCIS that there is no claim to USC. After that, a BTL can be issued. BTL's are processed on the spot and can be issued within a couple hours. I-130 will take months, if not over a year and cost way over a $1000 for fees and medical.

The fathers US IV is already issued. If they go through the I-130 process now (which is totally unecessary) the fathers visa will expire before the child will even have an interview.

Thank you so much Mark88 for the guidance. You have been of great support during all this time.My baby's birth certificate is ready and soon i will be applying for CRBA. Will update soon!
