Extremely clear and helpful video and explanation of the process. Significantly better and more useful than the ones produced by lawyers and advisors who posted here. Thank you.
I just have done the CRBA to my daughter. My problem was to prove the 5 years living in the US , which i lived much more than that. I brought the evidence they were looking for (collage transcripts) and that was it. Short quick and simple. My advice, prepare the correct documents before going to the consulate.
@@iceman9635 Someone was arguing with me that it used to be 15 years not 5 before. Is that true? Her daughter is 11 who was born in UK and got it.
@@iceman9635 one year and 2 months
@@AmmarNomaniif she/he born before 1986 it is 10 years of presence . If he/she born After 1986 it is 5 years.
@@a.shwartz9579 Wow didnt know that. But dont you have to change constitution for that? Or is it just the that can be changed?
Hey was your tranacript official or unofficial?
Did it for our daughter today so we’re awaiting her passport 😍.. I agree that the most difficult part of the application was sorting travel dates for BOTH parents.
Are you just showing the times you've travelled outside or lived in America?
New age background music very distracting..
Awesome video I just finished my CRBA march 6 2020 and the officer was really short and simple all he asked was how I meet my wife how long have I lived in the US did I go to high School in the US that was it did I travel anywhere else other then the country my wife and kid reside I was kinda concerned it was too simple but after watching your video I can be at ease
Glad it helped you. Congrats!
Did your kid get the citizenship?
Mine was basically an interrogation. They looked at everything, turning everything upside down. Wanted two copies of each document, not one question was asked to my wife.
Thanks Jen very informative
It’s crazy that they ask a lot of unnecessary evidence when they can simply have the DNA test to definitively confirm the biologic child.
I just had the interview and the woman said she has to pass it along to her boss to approve it and that if any additional documents are needed they will email me and if I don't hear anything from them then that means it's approved and will receive crba and passport in 4-6 weeks.
Thanks Jane. It is useful
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and would live in America for some periods so I would complete like 6 years but my interview I was not comfortable. First filter would be like didn´t you read instructions?
Would not see pictures, documents like credit cards, drivers license, other IDs. Would only want to see school transcripts, medical records, employment records, W2 forms. So I did have a few informal summer jobs and how do I prove if you will not take my employee card, pictures and anything? I am so happy you were comfortable chatting and no need to take out more evidence even if you had that, to me they looked at all my papers and would say, thats not formal so they didnt give me the CRBAs and I got to send more documents so I can request a second appointment.
Wow! Sorry to hear that! I think def depends on who interviews you and what their personal bias may be. Unfortunately that is the case most of the time
Thank you u been so helpful
Thanks for this
My wife she got IR1 VISA. we have son we did not register him under CRBA because of COVID and travel restriction. I am USA citizen. My wife has IR1 VISA expired on August 14 2022. What is the best solution to bring him and her together here
What did u end up doing?
Hi thank you for the video , i recivied the certificated and the passport but what about the social security? How do i get it for my baby
My passport Hasn’t been stamped since 2019
Do you really sing and notarize section B and C on CRBA?
Hello Jen, Thank you for you video, it was very helpful. I just have one question. How ,much time did it take from the first application of the CBRA to get the actual physical passport? Thanks again!
I think it was about 2 weeks (so loooong ago! i cant remember exactly) but i remember an option to pay extra to get it expedited within a few days
@@jenl8063 Awesome! Thank you so much!
Easy process, but I'm still scared. I don't have any faith in our embassy in Ethiopia. Our baby is due July 3, 2021.
Your child is entitled to it. It's a right so hopefully it all goes well for you.
I get you. I felt the same way. Super nervous and doubtful. But i find that when you go into the US embassy, the mood changes, they want to help you. Just think of it that way, as long as there's nothing shady going on, they really wanna help your baby to get that CRBA! Once you talk to someone inside on the interview i found they were all so helpful and will let you know what you need to do to make it work!
can i file this crba in the united states?....or does this application needs to be filed in the US embassy of the country where the child was born?....i am in the US now and i can't get appointment in the immigrations to get help....thanks in advance!
Sorry but im not sure. You will have to find a way to contact your local embassy and ask. My HR? Or go to the us embassy website and look for an email that covers crba and viasa.. Etc
Music was annoying
I have a challenge completing the Ds5507, can you assist
I just filed all the paperwork online. But going to schedule an appointment all the dates are not available is there a certain time when they become available?
The dates vary based on the embassy you are applying with. Just keep checking every day for possible cancelations.
Some embassies actually state you are not to use the scheduling tool but to email them at a specific email address the payment details and the reference number from the online application. In essence, check the embassy site of the country you're doing it through and look for those instructions.
Emailing them is the best way to get a schedule.
Trying to start this process. Hard hard. Any help would be so awesome.
The forms are mailed in instead of filled out online to start?
Hmmm.. I'm not sure, depends on where you live maybe? Like Im in Malaysia so I had to go online to book my appointment and print out the paperwork myself, some things filled out online and sent to them first... I think? I can't remember too much now😅
I have a question if u live out of Usa do u file tax return abroad and tax credit for ur child ???
Plz reply me plzzz plzzz
@@mrshusnain4471 hard question. I bet it doesn't have an easy answer. Youd probably need to sell your child to pay someone to answer that. Not worth it
@@mrshusnain4471 no. For my circumstances, my husband is malaysian and provides for our family. So I'm just a housewife/mom here. I have not worked in the usa since i was like 21...so, no, i personally dont have to file any tax thing for my baby. My baby has a Malaysia birth cert, and a CBRA. When my child turns 18 they will have to decide to move to usa to be a citizen there or a Malaysian citizen. Its up to them. While my child is under 18,they are entitled to both.
Hello…is it possible to process crba for iur child even im still married to my ex but my annualment is on process coz here in the philippines it really takes time the process for annualment…but im seprted to my ex husband for 6yrs and i have american bf now and we have 1 child ..hopefully u can reply thank u
Hmmm. I'm not sure. My understanding was both parents need to be present at the embassy for the interview with the child. If one parent cannot be present, you need to have some letter from them explaining their absence or something like that. You could try to go, but be prepared to be turned away. Once there, just ask the interviewer what you are missing and what needs to be done. As far as i could see, if they like you they want to help you as much as possible to get the cbra... If they feel like something is shady or not legit they give you a harder time, or they will require more documents/proof from you.
@Jen L: What number did you call to request a rush CRBA appointment?
I didn't call for a rush request. Each country will have their embassy own phone number. So you should find it on the website. That's all the info i can help with about that sorry!
@@jenl8063 No worries. Thanks!
No no no, that's too much.
Child birth certificate is enough.
Lol, no a birth certificate is not enough.
@@calvin659 it’s enough to get a travel paper for your child to get to the States.
Then take your time to get a passport.
@@Tomorrow32 Straight from USCBP:
*"If you're flying into the United States all children and infants will require a passport, with the exception of Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs), refugees, and asylees, who will continue to use their Migrant Registration Card (Form I-551), issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), or other valid evidence of permanent residence status or refugee or asylee status to apply for entry to the United States."*
So unless your kid has a green card or is a refugee or seeking asylum, all of which require much more paperwork - they're not flying internationally. There are no "travel papers" for children that claim to be US citizens.
