Wife just texted me, all checked in and everything ok, showed both passports, no immigration clearance fee for my son: "...everything ok here, we already checked in without any problem, excess baggage but we were not charged too, office was very nice and considerate, charmed by Nathan hehe..." :thumbs:

A few hours more and they'd be here!!! I am sure you are excited!!! Congrats!

Hi CathylovesRick,

You need to apply for CRBA right away. My fiance and I were in the same situation. The USEM approved my fiances K-1 but she cannot get it until our sons CRBA is complete. Her interview was Jan 11th and we now have to wait with fingers crossed for my sons CRBA appointment on Jan 22. It is much better to get this done before the K-1 interview. Also make sure the USC father completes forms DS-3053 (Statement of Consent or Special Circumstances: Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16) and DS-11 (Application for a U.S. Passport) The DS-3053 will need to be notorized. To make things easier on my fiance I went to the USEM website and downloaded the required forms and filled them out and sent them all by Fed-Ex to my fiance to include in the packet that Air21/FedEx sent to the USEM. My Faince was called the day after Air21/FedEx delivered to the USEM to setup an appointment.

You will need to call Air21/FedEx and they will deliver the necessary forms via courier. Just complete or have your fiance complete the necesssary forms, include everything they ask for on the check list and also include the notorized DS-3053 and DS-11 filled out by the USC father and call Air21/FedEx they will pick up the forms and deliver to the USEM. I have listed the information for Air21/FedEx below. I hope this helps and good luck.

ACS-Air21/FedEx LOCAL COURIER SERVICE can provide the following:

■Delivery of blank US passport and US citizenship application forms.

■Pick-up and delivery services of completed applications form(s) and supporting documents to the US Embassy.

■Delivery of U.S. passports, Report of Births Abroad and submitted documents back to you.

Here is how it works -

1.Call Air21/FedEx (02) 879-4747 and request delivery of the specific application forms that you need.

2.Complete the forms

3.Call (02) 879-4747 and request Air21/FedEx to pick up and deliver your completed application forms to the U.S. Embassy.

4.The Passport and Citizenship Unit of the US Embassy will call you for a personal appointment, if necessary.

5.Air21/FedEx will deliver your passports and citizenship documents right to your home. .

Hi guys, just a newbie here.

I would like to seek for advice regarding exit permit.

My 1.5yr daughter holds both US passport and Phil Passport.

Do I need to drop by in BI and get this ECC? Or will the Phil Passport covers everything and we can go to the airport directly without any clearance?

I called the BI this morning but the office explanation is not clear and have doubts, they told me to call the Airport Div (hey, they should know the answer, :angry: !)

We will be leaving early March and I am confused what to do now.

Thanks in advance, response' highly appreciated!

I'd also like an update. We are facing a similar situation in March or April. If child has both passports, but has never left the country, do they need to get a clearance? Or just good with both passports presented?

Sorry for the late reply. No need for clearance for the child if U.S. Citizen. Having both passports is a good idea so there are no exit fees.
