Hi everyone! I have petitioned my kids aged 2 and 4 and they are now here with me in the US with their Dad (my husband). During the interview we were told that they are automatically US citizens under the child citiEnship act. I applied for their US passport but I got a letter after a month asking me for more documents. I have attached a copy of the letter here. When I submitted the form I included my CRBA, US passport, driver's license and all other documents that show my US citizenship. Now Im torn on what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You are the USC? Did you send their birth certificates? Are you all in the USA now? Are they LPRs?

Did you submit your original CRBA certificate or just a copy? Seems to me they want the original document plus a black and white photocopy.

I sent in my CRBA, US Passport, Driver's license, marriage certificate.

I sent in their passport with the stamp, their state ID, birth certificates and their social security cards..

I submitted just the copy. Could that have been the problem?

Sounds like it.

Also when you tell us what evidence you send in, make sure to state if you send photocopies or originals.

Here'/ the letter I received:

post-229242-0-32355300-1481613121_thumb.jpg

 

Hi! I received the same letter today via email for my one of my daughters, but I gave them all the original paperworks. What seems to be the problem? My circumstance is a bit different than yours, though. I submitted the special circumstances forms for both my kids due to their absent father who's nowhere to be found. I was not married to him so I don't have the sole custody paperwork plus he's not even from my home country. I am so worried because I already purchased our tickets (we're finally going home for a visit in June after 5.5 years) and they are non-refundable. Have you received your child's passport already? If so, how long did it take?
