hi pinaywife!

we went already at the us embassy this morning but unluckily we arrived late huhuhu... but we will goin back tomorrow morning, and im nervous cuz dont know what to tell. pls..keep us in your prayer hope that everything will turn out right about the crba of my baby. hope they recognized my baby as a USC son. i will update you all of what will goin to happen tomorrow..pls pray for us pls...

I'm interested to hear the results. Here is my prediction.

You will not get approved for the CRBA. They will deny and request more evidence. Without his cooperation, you will not meet the additional requirements. Then they will say that the DNA test is required. They will not compel him to supply a sample. At that point, there is nothing more that you can do.

Here is what happened for me, just to demonstrate how hard it will be.

I'm a teacher, living and working in the philippines. My current wife and I married about 5 months after conceiving our daughter. During an embassy outreach, i went to apply for crba. My wife was unable to attend because she was taking care of her sick mother. I did have my daughter with me. She looks just like me, and is pretty obviously my daughter.

For evidence, I had the NSO birth certificate of my daughter with both of our names as parents, our NSO marriage certificate, My passport and permanent residence visa to demonstrate that i was present, a certified letter from our physician saying that he had been our family physician since before conception, and that he had cared for my daughter since her birth. We also had my daughter's philippine passport, with my last name.

Because my wife wasn't there, I couldn't file for a passport. She would have to go to the embassy directly. But for crba, she did not need to be present. We were denied even with all that i had and the strong resemblance. We got a request for additional evidence. I had to put together a package of photos showing us before pregnancy, during, and with our daughter in our home after birth.

After submitting the additional evidence, we were approved. BUT, this was all with me there in front of them, claiming paternity. Without him present at the embassy, they will never grant citizenship. Especially, unfortunately, in the Philippines given the high fraud rates and ease of obtaining forged documents. The embassy will not do any investigation for you to verify anything. You have to prove it.

On another note, i think that another poster said that their attorney said that they could file for child support from the philippines. Yes, of course your attorney in the philippines told you that. They could not, unless paternity and citizenship had already been established in the philippines, through the embassy. I'm sure that they would be more than willing to charge you for trying though.

Even with that, they would get no traction.

I hope that the OP proves me wrong. But, I think that the only way to get support is going to be to convince the father to support his child under his own will. Good luck to you.
