10yr Green Card Holder, do I need CRBA for my child?

[chipsahoy 3]

Hi everyone. I am a 10yr GC holder and just gave birth last July. I am now confused what's the fastest and secure route to take to bring my child back to USA.

Here are some of my concerns:

1. I will be out of the USA for 8months total. Am I going to have problem with the immigration upon entering the USA again? I have proofs of keeping my ties, ie: taking online classes, keeping a US address, paying bills, etc.

2. I need to be back in the USA first week of January in preparation for Spring sem but I am disturbed that my child's paper will not get here on time. Is CRBA my only option? I've read somewhere that if the mother is a green card holder, she may bring her child without a US passport just as long it is below 1yr old. Anyone knows about it?

You can't do CRBA, because your baby is not a US citizen (unless dad is?).

Yes, the dad is the USC

Then the child needs a US passport.

I was in the Philippines for almost 6 months in 2008 when i gave birth to our son. I did not have a problem coming back to USA as long as you have your green card.

If like you said the dad is a USC then your child is elegible to apply for CRBA provided he meet the eligibility requirements.

I did the CRBA and it only took me 10 days from the time of the application to getting everything. If he gets the CRBA then all you need is ur son's US passport as he don't need the visa.

What you heared is not true at all. I was a GC holder and my baby was only 2 months old when i brought him back here.
