★ SOPHIE GOT APPROVED AFTER 8TH ATTEMPT★

[LOSTGURL--SOPHIA 2]

★ doctor gave sophie temporary pass Since she was still confined in the hospital, so she can still have her physical appearance in the US Embassy -- My mom brought sophie with her and told me that waited around 40 mins before she was called in, with the Filipino pre-screener questions are

1.) what is the childs' name?

2) date of birth?

3) parents name? date of marriage?

and they requested couple of pictures of the family (Me, Mario and Sophie)

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

American Consulate:

1.) How did parents met?

2) Confirming if Mario is natural born US Citizen--

3) What State? ( NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA )

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

and now the QUESTION is mama, didnt asked whether approved or not? but mama received Pink slip..they kept the passport of sophie and ...asked them to go register for Air 21 fees..and the person in charge gave mama, the pre-departure instruction IS THIS THE SIGN OF APPROVAL? AND second... does a minor child needs to have the cfo stamp?

No need register the child for CFO if it's a US citizen. Only mom must attend and register.

No need register the child for CFO if it's a US citizen. Only mom must attend and register.

If the child was a US Citizen then there would be no need for CR/IR-2 Immigrant Visa.

Anyway, when my wife & 2 year old stepson came last November (on CR-1 & CR-2 respectively) only the wife needed CFO.

congrat!!! ....you must be sooooooo happy !!!

[SuperDuper! 230]

Congratz all around! But I missed something....WHy did it take 8 attempts to get Sophie a visa?

[LOSTGURL--SOPHIA 2]

CRBA issues,, domicile records of the USC biological father..*read my previous topics before sad but true*... -- so my last sort was cr2 follow to join.. =] the child is not carrying US citizenship yet not until Sophia get here in US and applies for n-600 citizenship child act .. so Im not sure if my mom who is her legal guardian has to attend on her behalf.. and somehow I am confused about this http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com...7&Itemid=77

My 7 year ols stepdaughter didn't have to do the seminar but we had to pay and register her and get the CFO syicker in her passport.

applies for n-600 citizenship child act

Filing the n-600 isn't necessary to prove US citizenship. LOT cheaper to apply for a US passport.

That's what I did after I adopted my stepdaughter.

hi dakine? would it be a trouble if i didnt apply my baby for n600? and just push with the US passport instead? how much did stepdaughter paid for the seminar?

Congratz all around! But I missed something....WHy did it take 8 attempts to get Sophie a visa?

most of it is in her prior posts. interesting reading, you betcha ! click on her name, a drop-down will appear, then select 'posts' from the menu.

Yes, it is. should be a big packet. Inside that packet will be the passport with visa stamp inside, and a sealed envelope.

Make sure Mama DOES NOT OPEN the SEALED ENVELOPE that is inside the larger packet.

BIG MONDO PROBLEMS if she opens it.

hi dakine? would it be a trouble if i didnt apply my baby for n600? and just push with the US passport instead? how much did stepdaughter paid for the seminar?

My wife paid P400 for the CFO registration sticker for her daughter. She didn't have to pay the P250 for the seminar as the kids don't go.

You only need a US passport to prove your child has US citizenship. Cost about $100

N-600 cost $460.
