My son and I moved to the US from overseas. I recently became a US citizen through naturalization. Now I want to apply for passport for my son because he meets the criteria. His dad is basically out of the picture and lives overseas. I know when applying for minor passport both parents need to be there. Does this rule appt for permanent residence my in minor? Any advice or comment on how I can get over this hurdle would be greatly appreciated.

Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the "Passports, etc." subforum, where similar issues are discussed.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

1. Does Dad agree to his son getting a  U.S.  passport?

 

2. Do you have full custody of your son?

His father lives overseas. Do I need to have him complete a consent form?

 

My son is legal permanent residence for over 7 years.

Unless you have full custody, you need the father’s consent.

Yup, you'll need Father's consent for him to get a US Passport. He will consent by completing DS-3053. Unless as MikeE stated you have sole legal custody.

 

How old is your son?
