helpsmilie.gif I have a somewhat unique situation i suppose. myself and my filipina fiance (now wife) got married and shortly after marriage concieved a baby........we had, prior to deciding to get married in the philippines, filed a fiance visa one that is no doubt going to have to be re filed as a spousal visa. The question i have is regarding the child we have on the way early next year is can the child be included on the k-3 petition at a later date since the child is currently not born? i dont want to waste time in filing a petittion due to the fact that i do have a child on the way and the time apart from my wife and child i would like to keep to a minimum. can anyone give me any helpful answers to that question or know of any similar circumstances?

If you are a USC and have lived more than five years in the US with at least two years after you were 14, then the baby will automatically be a US citizen and would only require a US passport, which does not take as long to obtain as a visa.

Correct, all that will be needed is to register the birth at the Embassy in Manilla.

ok the baby has been born as of jan 15 and we will soon register the birth as CNBA i think it is Consular Notification of Birth Abroad or something to that effect anyways does anyone know what if any shots the baby may or may not need before he is allowed in the states i mean basically hes a citizen after we have our interview registering his birth at the embassy and I m sure when the time for that interview comes they will inform us but anyone with any concrete information or place i can find info on immunizations for the baby id appreciate it.....this is seperate from the wifes stuff of course im only askin bout the baby.....BTW hes beautiful its an awesome thing to be a father such a pain to be seperatd from them these past few days though

Good luck, though don't get your hopes too high... it takes a long long time to get thru the whole process, be strong.
