07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

You want to take your child to Thailand while you come back here and bring him later when he's closer to school age? Also wanting to know if he can get benefits while living in Thailand?

Also, your child is a USC so he can stay in your home country depending on the visa requirements. USC can stay in Thailand for thirty days but, you may be able to get him dual citizenship so he can become a Thai national.

If you have a GC then the longest you can stay out of the US is 1 year, but on your return back, immigration officers will ask a lot of questions. If you want to stay out of the country for a longer time, you can apply for a re entry permit which will allow you to stay out of the US for a maximum of 2 years.

Hi,

Your baby is a U.S. citizen and will need a U.S. passport. In order to get the passport, you need either the father's permission or a court order. Does your child have a U.S. passport?

You can not simply take a U.S. citizen child out of the U.S. It doesn't work that way.

Your baby is not entitled to any benefits living abroad. Having a USC child does not entitle you to any benefits. The child can only get benefits while living in the U.S.

You can stay out of the U.S. for 1 year, but you must maintain your LPR status.

There is no problem with you coming back without your baby. You might have a problem getting your baby out of the U.S.

There is no problem with you coming back without the baby.

Your problem is getting a U.S. passport for the baby. Since you know who the father is, leaving his name off the birth certificate does not solve your problem. He is known, so you will need his permission or a court order to get a U.S. passport for your child.

I got passports for my children without permission from their father, as he isn't on their birth certificates. However, not sure what would happen if you took the baby on the plane, if customs would ask about the father. We recently went to Toronto to visit and I had only my son's birth certificate and expired passport and had no issues crossing the border, but of course, I was just visiting for the weekend.

You also run into the problem of leaving your child in Thailand for 3-4 years. US citizens are only allowed 30 day visits. Therefore, you'd have to get him dual US-Thai citizenship which would allow him to stay in Thailand without restrictions. This would mean taking a trip to the Thai embassy and getting him a Thai passport as well.

You would have to enter/leave the US with his US passport and enter/leave Thailand with his Thai passport. This way he wouldn't be overstaying.
