Newborn eCRBA in Brazil

[Jonny777 0]

Hello everyone!

 

I had just submitted the eCRBA form online for my newborn son and paid the $100 fee along with scheduling the appointment at the US consulate in Porto Alegre Brazil.

My understanding is that I should also complete the DS-11 form for my newborn before attending the appointment.

 

1. Any tips for things to expect or bring before interview at the US consulate?
2. Are there any tips on filling out the DS-11 for newborn CRBA?
3. Do I need to apply for his social security?
4. I just received his birth certificate from the Brazilian government but how do I translate it to English as required in page 2 Section D under "Claiming Citizenship through Birth Abroad to At Least One U.S. Citizen Parent"?

 

This is the link I have been using for eCRBA in Brazil:

Thanks in advance,

Jon

All the cases I have seen that have had issues have related to parent proof of residency, so do you have that down pat?

 

Child’s Brazilian birth certificate (original and copy): applicants with Brazilian birth certificates filed on or after January 1, 2018, must submit the original full-content birth certificate (“inteiro teor”), which can be obtained at the “cartório” where the birth was registered. I did not see the translation bit, you would have thought they would know what it says bit unless it says otherwise you could translate.

 

SSN absolutely.

 

Good Luck!

Hey Boiler, Thanks for the reply:

 

1. I reside in the US and have bought with me 5 years worth of w-2 from my past employers with me and I hope that is enough because I saw somewhere asking for 5 years. 
2. The translation part is on the DS-11 form itself shown here: https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds11_pdf.PDF
3. Because I reside in the US but my son is born in Brazil, can I apply for SSN in the US or should I do it the way as if I (my son) will live in Brazil for awhile until my girlfriend's K-1 is processed? Do I need to file for SSN before my consulate interview like the DS-11 or can that be done at a later time? 

Thank you,

Jon

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Brazil.html This shows what everything look like.

 

I would get a SSN asap.

 

I do not know what they consider to be an official transformation

 

I would go overboard proving domicile.
