Applying for CRBA - questions

[Jen T 0]

Hello,

 

I am a foreign national who has had a baby with an American citizen out of wedlock. He is not on the child's birth certificate due to my home country being quite unflexible on out of wedlock couples, but we would like to instead apply for a CRBA since my kid would want to see their father soon.

 

I was wondering if it was possible to apply for a CRBA without the US citizen father's name on it? As I am willing to go through all the DNA testing etc if necessary.

 

Thank you

It’s possible to get a CRBA without the father’s name on the birth certificate.  
 

1. Has the father, in writing, ideally in front of a notary:

 

* acknowledged the child as his own?

 

* agreed  to provide financial support for the child? 
 

2. Does the father have evidence of being  a U.S. citizen before his child was born?

 

3. Does the father have evidence of  at least 5 years of physical presence in the USA before the child was born and were were at least 2 of those those years after the father reached age 14?

 

4. Is the child under age 18?

Oh yes All of the paperwork for that is done. 
 

Like the DS-5507 and everything.
