Passport for a child moving to the US with a green card

[Roberto M 0]

Hello,

my son is moving in the US soon.

He will have a I551 stamp on his Italian passport.

His mom and I never been married, I am his father and I’m US citizen by Naturalization.

I wanted to apply for him to get a US passport without go through all citizenship process.

what are the document required? Does he need a letter where says that he is in my physical and legal custody from his mom or his mom just need to sign and notarize the DS-3053 “Statement of Consent” form?

Thank you

That is exactly what OP is trying not to go through.

 

To the OP:

while the statement of consent from the child’s mother and legal custody letters are needed, that may not be sufficient to prove the child is living with you.

 

 Sometimes just the i551 stamp may be sufficient since it will be presumed the child will stay with the parent/s upon immigrating. Sometimes they may ask for more. A medical record showing a visit to doctor for vaccination or some check up may help if that record shows the child’s address. Record of enrolling the child in a school and such.

I went through this earlier this year and received passport for my child. Similar circumstances to yours.
