Well, posting pictures of the child isn't going to help. I do feel for you though. Have you posted about the situation in this forum? I haven't seen it. Maybe someone will be able to find a solution to the problem. What are the gounds for denial?

[ao_cons 1]

Sorry tried to edit it. Just saw your other post.

what exactly is the problem? BC error? US domicile of husband? If so, they'd never have given you a CR1. Do they want proof the baby is his? This is very sad.

Sorry about your situation. There isn't enough information to understand what has happened.

Sounds from the other post like the husband didn't meet the US residence requirements for the child to be granted citizenship through her parent.

Here's the relevant citation from section 4. at the following link.

http://www.uscitizenship.info/citizenship-...ry-children.htm

For children born abroad since 14 November 1986 to a married couple consisting of one U.S. citizen and one non-citizen, the American parent must have been "physically present" in the U.S. for a total of at least five years prior to the birth of the child. Further, at least two years out of this five-year period must have been after the parent reached age 14 (e.g., no good if you lived in the U.S. from birth till age five, then left the country never to return). From 24 December 1952 to 14 November 1986, the minimum requirement was ten years (five years of which had to have been after the parent's 14th birthday).

i already told her what to do, she and i have the same situation. but for us i didnt bother applying for consular birth abroad and tried getting my sons US citizenship thru me...when i saw that i wa slacking in that requirement that pushbrk posted above i went to the US embassy in the philippines and talked to a consul, she said it would just be a waste of money applying as they would just deny it and give the papers back. she suggested that i petition my son...do the IR-2...someone from jordon had the same situation and he did the CR-2, IR-2...anyway when my son will arrive in the US and be in my custody (UC parent) i can apply for US citizenship... i already told her what to do, posting pictures would not help...

Both this poster, and pushbrk are correct.

If the USC has not met the US residency requirements stated in pushbrk's post, then his child(ren) born abroad are not US Citizens at birth, even if they are his biological children.

The correct way to proceed is to file for immigration benefits (either DCF filing or IR-1), have the child enter the US as a legal permanent resident, and then obtain citizenship for the child automatically under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 http://adoption.state.gov/pdf/FAQs_Child%2...20of%202000.pdf .

You will not need to naturalize your child, and you can obtain citizenship for your child immediately after they are admitted to the uS.

I can tell you for fact that this works - I had this happen with my own three children when the law fist came into effect in Feb 2001.

My situation was : USC (born on US soil), did not meet the residency requirements in the US (I grew up in Canada and had always lived outside the US). I did a DCF filing in Tel Aviv Israel in 1999 for my wife at the time, and my three children. The children were born in Canada (two) and Brazil (one). We entered the US in Aug 1999. My kids were all green card holders from Aug 1999-Feb 2001. This in spite of the fact that they were biological children of a US Citizen parent (me) and legally in the US.

Once the new law came into effect in 2001 they were automatically citizens. There was no need to take an oath, no ceremony, no paperwork to do. One day (Feb 27 2001) they just woke up, went to school, and were citizens under the law. A few months later I went to the post office and got US Passports for all 3. They no longer live in the US, but those passports are their proof of US citizenship for life.

My marriage unfortunately ended in divorce, hence I am back again dealing with US Immigration, this time a K-1 application for my Thai fiancee.

Good luck!
