What Form is Needed for Child Born..??

[Money2022 0]

Here's my situation. Filed CR1 before Covid and wife was pregnant. It took 2 years for our case to get approved and wife just passed the interview. But now that we have a child, what form should be file so that my wife and son, can come to the US together?

Since you were a US citizen when your child was born and you have lived in the US for at least 5 years before the child's birth, then your child is a US citizen.

Google CRBA and your local US Embassy.  You will need to file a CRBA for your child and obtain a US passport for your child.

Do I filed this with the US Embassy oversea, or through the National Visa?

So apply for US passport and visa through the US Embassy there for my son?

He doesn't need a visa since he's a US citizen by birth but you have to do CBRA with the embassy and then you can get his passport.

Have you googled CRBA and your local US Embassy?

Yes, that's the first step.  Note that CRBA stands for Consular Report of Birth Abroad.  You get that first then the US passport for the child.  Depending on circumstances be prepared for DNA paternity testing.

Thank you. If it's not for Covid, he would have been born here.
