CRBA for the us citizen child residing overseas

[Muhammad Iqbal 0]

Dear Sir/ Madam,

                                  I am American citizen residing in Pakistan and was married few months back. Now I wanted to apply CRBA for my expected new born child. I meet all the requirements except physical presence for two years after the age of Fourteen. I just lived my initial four to five years in America. I will highly appreciate if you please guide me. Thank you for your kindness and efforts.

 

Best regards,

Can’t do anything until baby born and has a local birth certificate. For other steps go to the embassy website/ American citizen services/Consular Report of Birth Abroad. You can download the forms and start lining up evidence of your time in the US so you’re ready.

Then applying for CRBA is a waste of time.  Your child won’t be born a U.S. citizen.  

Accrue two years of the physical presence in the USA before your child reaches age 16, and then file N-600K for your child and also apply for a B-2 visa for the child so that the child and you can attend the N-600K interview.  This way your child can naturalize without a green card.

Then you don't meet ALL the requirements to be qualified for your to be born child's CRBA. 
 

As said, you can think of petitioning him for LPR when you all plan to move to the US or go through N600K route (after meeting it's requirements) if the child will be staying there for long.

You don't meet all the requirements to pass on US citizenship to your child.  Your child will not be a US citizen.  You can not file a CRBA for your child.

Your child is not a US citizen. CRBA does not apply.

Guidance:  If you meet all the requirements “except” then you don’t meet all the requirements. You cannot pass on citizenship if you do not meet requirements to do so.
