My friend(mother), who is from East Africa, had a child out of wedlock to an American citizen(father). While she(mother) was here in USA on asylum pending a green card, the father obtained custody of the child and now the child is a citizen. She would like to know if her path to citizenship is easier due to her child's USA citizenship. The child is 7 years old and she became an USA Citizen in 2018.
Birth abroad out of wedlock to an American father. Mother is German. They went to Mexico and as soon as they came back to US. They sent the mom and child back to Germany. We are trying to get them both back into the US. We need help.
Good morning can someone help me out I applied for my son who is born in the United Kingdom and all my paper work is good and they they want a social security transcript and I called the social security office and they said they don’t know what is a transcript. This is the only paper work they are asking for because they want to know if I’ve stayed in America for over 5 years but I’ve stayed here for more that 12 years. And I lost my old passport
My child born in tunisia but we are not married she is my fiancé and I don’t have the official birth certificate so the court wrote a letter stating the official birth certificate is in process . Will the embassy Accept?
I was given us citizenship from my mother and I was born in Greece. I want to give to my children born in Greece. I haven't lived in the USA other than my 4 years in college but not full tears as I returned to Greece in the summer's. What can I do?
In the Philippines: Things I don't understand. In order to let the US embassy know of our daughter's birth...they say to let them know as soon as possible. Only a PSA birth cert is acceptable. However, PSA says it takes at least 6 months from the time the birth has been transmitted from the Local Civil Registrar to the PSA. (she was born 2 Dec 2022.). The only link I can find for the CRBA application appointment is in Cebu, and according to their website scheduling, nothing is available until 2024 at the earliest. My goodness...how many babies were actually born to American citizens??
What needs to be done prior to taking a child under 5 out of china who was born in china to a US citizen (father) and Chinese citizen (Mother).

Does the childs Chinese passport (if they have one) and citizenship need to be cancelled prior to trying to exit throgh Chinese immigration/customs? Thank you

Thanks for your helpful video. Wondering if my 5 years was only 4.5 years till child was born abroad. Can I live in the US for 6 months and then apply or not because child is already born? And if no, would it be possible to apply in the US and bring my child here on a tourist visa? Would it be easier if I get a job and start living in the US again? Would that be more straight forward and quicker?
So here's my question I'm a US citizen and my wife is an alien. I grew up in the United States and I live there until the age of 46. I have been living in my wife's country of Brazil for 5 years. We had a son in 2019 but because of coronavirus we have not gone to the consulates to do the birth abroad certification. So my question is this, do I meet the requirements for residency prior to the birth of a child under section 301g of the INA? To reiterate I was born in America and lived there until I was 46 years old and I have been living in Brazil for 5 years (uninterrupted) and my son was born in 2019 here in Brazil
Technically you’re child would be a US citizen because you were born in America. You just have to provide documentation that proves you were born in US also check with the US Embassy what requirements are needed from you.

@@mrshusnain4471 type "birth abroad out-of-wedlock to a u.s. citizen father" to Google and read. Your child should be U.S citizen (from my understanding after reading it".
Hi, thetraveller3956! Thank you for reaching out with your question. Under U.S. law, a CRBA is issued to a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents who meet the necessary physical presence requirements in the United States before the child's birth. The application process generally requires information and documentation from both parents to establish the child's citizenship and the relationship between the U.S. citizen parent and the child. Key Considerations: Parentage and Relationship Proof: The CRBA application requires evidence that the U.S. citizen parent is the biological parent of the child. This typically involves providing documentation such as the child’s birth certificate, the U.S. citizen parent's passport, and, in some cases, additional proof like a DNA test. Mother's Information: If you do not have information about the mother, it may complicate the application process. The U.S. Department of State may require documentation or evidence regarding the circumstances of the child's birth and the relationship between the child and the U.S. citizen parent. In situations where the mother is unknown or unavailable, additional steps may be needed, such as establishing paternity through a court order or DNA testing, depending on the case's specifics. Next Steps: Document Collection: Start by gathering all relevant documents that can support your claim as the biological father and U.S. citizen parent, such as your passport, the child's birth certificate, and any other evidence that might establish your relationship with your son. Legal Advice: Given the complexities of your situation, I strongly recommend consulting with an immigration attorney who can provide legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances. They can assist with navigating the application process and addressing any potential challenges related to the mother's unknown identity. Please note that this response is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Additionally, this communication does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Not sure if this will be answered here but I'm a father of a 1 year old son born out of wedlock in Uganda. Me and my fiancee have filed an I-129F visa petition. Our case has moved forward after the Covid lockdowns and is going smoothly and I'm working on citizenship for our son. One form I need to fill out and notarize is a DS-5507 Affidavit of Physical Presence or Residence parentage and Support form. Where and who can notarize this for me? Can I make a passport appointment at a post office and have the passport specialist stamp and sign the DS-5507 form?

Yes the child is a citizen
Can I apply CRBA for my son without knowing the mother?
Hi, thetraveller3956! Thank you for reaching out with your question.
Under U.S. law, a CRBA is issued to a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents who meet the necessary physical presence requirements in the United States before the child's birth. The application process generally requires information and documentation from both parents to establish the child's citizenship and the relationship between the U.S. citizen parent and the child.
Key Considerations:
Parentage and Relationship Proof:
The CRBA application requires evidence that the U.S. citizen parent is the biological parent of the child. This typically involves providing documentation such as the child’s birth certificate, the U.S. citizen parent's passport, and, in some cases, additional proof like a DNA test.
Mother's Information:
If you do not have information about the mother, it may complicate the application process. The U.S. Department of State may require documentation or evidence regarding the circumstances of the child's birth and the relationship between the child and the U.S. citizen parent.
In situations where the mother is unknown or unavailable, additional steps may be needed, such as establishing paternity through a court order or DNA testing, depending on the case's specifics.
Next Steps:
Document Collection: Start by gathering all relevant documents that can support your claim as the biological father and U.S. citizen parent, such as your passport, the child's birth certificate, and any other evidence that might establish your relationship with your son.
Legal Advice: Given the complexities of your situation, I strongly recommend consulting with an immigration attorney who can provide legal advice tailored to your specific circumstances. They can assist with navigating the application process and addressing any potential challenges related to the mother's unknown identity.

I'm a US citizen. I was born in the US and live there until I was almost 5 years old (so I haven't lived in the US after I was 14 years old).
My wife is not a US citizen and we have a 19 months baby.
We currently live in Peru and I would like to go back to live to the US.
Is there a way to ask the US citizenship for my baby? If it's possible, which will be the procedure, please?

Hi, I have a question regarding about if I am a United States Citizens or not. My dad became a United States Citizens on June 23, 1999. At that time I was still in Philippines. I got my permanent resident on February 10, 2003. Both my parents got married before I was 18 years old. I wanted to know if I am citizens or not? Because when I applied for my citizenship it says I might be already be a citizenships because of my dad who is united state citizens. I already paid for my N-400 form for becoming citizens. Please help.

Hey there I was concerned about a question for a long time now, and I was wondering if you guys can help me out with that?
So I've never been to the united states of America before even though I have a naturalized father, he became a US citizen when I was like 15-16 years of age or so, and now I'm 22 years old.
The question is, can I be a US naturalized citizen throughout my father as well? thank you.

I have a difficult scenario for you. My wife’s niece was born to a US citizen father and he was in the process of submitting the paperwork to get her citizenship finished when he was killed in Colombia. She is now 19 years old and her father has been dead for several years. Is there any way for her to apply for citizenship based on her citizen father who has passed away or is she too old to qualify.
I know this is late but sorry for your loss. This makes me not want to touch Colombia with a 10 foot pole.
My daughters father wanted to claim her as his child. Now we live in the philippines and we don’t know what to do so they can be reunited.

My daughter is 8 years old and I let her use my last name. Thanks in advance if anyone here might help me, that would be much appreciated
