Hi My wife is pregnant here in the United States and she has her green card, But I would like to know if she went to Peru for the birth of our child would we have problems bringing the child to the states? Would I have to fill out any papers here b4 we left?

Rainman,

When the child is born you will want to file a report on the child's birth at a US consulate in Peru, to establish the child as a USC. And you'll need to apply to get the child a US passport.

I don't know any more than those 2 general statements. Perhaps you can find more by looking at the consular pages of the embassy in Peru's web site.

Some insurance policies will not cover the birth if you are away from home.

i am having the same problem!! i think we have to report the birth before u re-enter the US.. if u dont do that then u have to file for a GC for the baby too..

i spoke to the US embassy here in germany yesterday and the guy was really helpful..
he said if i have all the documents what they need it will take about 2-4 WEEKS
till everything goes trough and receive his US passport.. YAY!!
(report of birth abroad & US passport & US Social Security number..)

if ur wife has the baby in peru then she needs to call the US emabassy and they will
email her all the documents that you have to fill out too.. (if ur not going to be there)..

its pretty easy.. i thought it will take months.. but nope..

good luck..

Actually, the father will have to be the one who files the paperwork as he is the USC... and both parents are required to be present to apply for the passport...

nope.. he said since the father is not here he has to send me his right over.. he send me some paperwork that my husband has to fill out and let it notirized and thats it..
