The US embassy in London says -- "Good examples of proof of physical presence include school records, employment records, university transcripts, current and expired passports with evidence of travel to the United States."

Any documents that prove you were physically present in the US for a total of five years, at least 2 of those years after the age of 14, will support your claim to be able to pass US citizenship to your baby born abroad.

 

Such evidence frequently takes the form of passports; tax records, including W2 forms; pay statements or other evidence of employment; photos; school transcripts; apartment leases; or annual Social Security statements. These are suggestions, and you are encouraged to submit all available documentary proof. If no such evidence is available, the consular officer will advise you at the time of your application what alternatives you may have for proving your presence in the United States.

Thank you all for the vital information. I am returning back to the US and will get all the documents and email to them

In your earlier posts, you said you received your green card six years ago, and recently became a US citizen.  If you were outside the US during that period of time, they want to know via passport stamps showing exits and entries to the US so they can subtract those days and weeks to see if you have the minimum of five years physically present in the US to qualify to pass on citizenship to your baby.  Were you outside the US for any short or long visits in the last six years that combined total more than a year?  If so, you may not qualify and would have to file an I-130 petition for the baby to immigrate to the US.  Consular officers can also check your travel records so always be honest, hopefully you were not outside the US for more than a year and you have evidence to show you satisfy the five-year rule.  Good luck!

Thank you very much for the information. For the whole six years I have been out of the United States  for 285 days. The longest one outside the US was after I became US citizen and it’s 156 days (5months) which I added to those days to sum up to 285 days for the whole period since I became US resident

I want to know does the five years start to count on the day the baby was born or during the time I file for CBRA?, am kind of confused there.

Thank you

All periods of residence or physical presence (in the US) must have taken place prior to the birth of the child.

@Mike E I didn’t calculate it well the other time and this time I was able to go back to my emails to get all the flight tickets and compare it with the stamps in my passports and this current ones are the accurate ones.

I will also like to know if can I include my visits on F1 visa before moving permanently

And yet you still brought 285 days again, in this thread.

As I’ve written before all physical presence before the birth of your child counts.  
 

What do you mean by “visits on F-1 visa”? Normally F-1 students are full time spending the majority of their time living in the USA.  If you were a full time university student in the USA, the embassy would have known that.  That embassy would then have surpassed a new low in deliberate obtuseness.

Thank you 

For your duration: Any presence  that happens on or after the day your child was born does not count.  The only presence that counts is days in the USA before your child was born.

Sorry I don’t know the types I meant Visitors visa
