Lets try this one more time i need answers PLEASE!

[Regan L 1]

My wife had my child in the Philippines 21 Days ago, in a month shes going to have her visa interview, can she get a Certificate of Birth Abroad at the time of the interview? Is it not that big a process. Are they going to charge her tons of money for a DNA test? If they ask for a DNA will they put off her visa interview till shes done with it? Should she pay a family member to be a sitter while she goes to manila and just go her self? Can she get one of those certificates without the child in hand? Would they make her come back with the baby if it was back with her family and stop the visa interview till that was finished?

you should do CBRA ASAP, you should be there with HER and a child during the process, some country may not require DNA test if both parents at present during the CBRA interview, if one parent the may require DNA test, which will take up to couple months to get the result. therefore I recommend you be there with your wife and baby at the consulate office during the process. Before the interview day coming up.

It is unlikely she will be asked for a DNA test

YOU, on the other hand, might

Good luck

They'll send the kit over to her if the US Embassy says that you're required to undergo DNA testing.

Please check out his link for the process.

Yup, but you still have DNA and you can still submit it

Research the process now so there aren't any surprises

Good luck

My wife had my child in the Philippines 21 Days ago, im in America and cannot fly there to be there for the interview because i have work, in a month my wife is going to have her visa interview.

1.Can she get a Certificate of Birth Abroad at the time of the interview?

2.How likely is it that they will ask for a dna test if she shows pictures of us together holding the pregnancy test, also what if the baby is super white compared to her and im super white, wont it be obvious?

3.If they ask for a DNA will they put off her visa interview till shes done with it?

4.Should she pay a family member to be a sitter while she goes to manila and just go her self, get the interview done and do all the Certificate of birth abroad stuff when i go to pic her up?

5. Can she even get one of those certificates without the child in hand?

6.Would they make her come back with the baby if it was back with her family and stop the visa interview till that was finished?

[canadian_wife 1,829]

1. I don't believe so, I think it needs to be filed before. Failing to do so could delay the passport issuance

2. Won't they know it is your baby because it is 'super white'? No probably not, I hope you see how silly that sounds

3. They probably won't put off her visa, but the baby's passport will be put off

4. You and her need to decide what is best for your family, if that is putting your baby with a sitter, then yes

5. Have you researched the CRBA process based on the links in your other post?

6. The visa and the CRBA are two different processes, please research them

Good luck

Your funny Regan....

I don't beleive pictures or skin tone proves biological fatherhood.

Be a good Daddy and research your childs path to obtaining the US passport.

1. No. Even at her CRBA interview it won't be issued then and there. It will be mailed. Please read this link: http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html

2. This is a ridiculous question. There are other "super white" people you know and varying degrees of "darkness" (can't believe I just had to write that :S). The child should be legitimated by your marriage but they CAN ask for DNA.

3. Possibly. If there are other factors to your relationship that they doubt, they could wonder if the child is yours and wait on DNA to prove the child is yours. Has happened before.

4. CRBA "stuff" isn't immediate. Read the link.

5. Read the link

6. Unlikely. Most of the time children who aren't included in the process aren't needed to go. But it's a personal situation thing. We don't know you or your personal circumstances.

--- Long story short --- read the link I just posted. Familiarise yourself with the process. Then make your decision on how you want to do it.

***********************************

My husband and I has gone through the same thing as yours. The difference is that we weren't married yet when we applied for our daughter's CRBA. Since you're only 19, it's pretty understandable that processing for her citizenship could be overwhelming.

Now, let me just remind you that since your wife will be the only one be interviewed at the embassy, she should make sure that all the documents needed by the US consul officers are complete or else she won't have her interview that day. She needs to read this link carefully http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html, and have all of those on hand.

1. At the time of the interview, she wont be able to get the CRBA certificate of your child. When approved, it takes about a month for them to send it to your wife by priority mail. Reviewing your case and putting your child in the US system doesn't just happen in a snap while your wife is being interviewed.

2. PAternity TEst depends on the officer reviewing your application. He/She may or may not require you to have it; If there's enough burden of proof that the child is filiated (blood relationship) with you, then the officer won't ask for it. It really depends on the officer really. No matter how white the child is, or how likely the resemblance of your child to you but if the officer wants a DNA test, you guys have to do it.

3. If she needs the DNA test, she has to come back again for the test with the child, and YOU have to be with them. As you and your child should provide the sample at the embassy. The officer will give your wife a letter stating that a paternity test is needed, and you have to find the nearest DNA clinic accredited by the US Immigration at your place. Here is the link for DNA processing in http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/350862/ACS-Consular_001/DNA%20Information%20Sheet%20_updated%20DEC%2016%20%202011_.pdf

And as for the accredited clinics http://www.aabb.org/sa/facilities/Pages/RTestAccrFac.aspx

*you have to pay about $600 for the DNA kit including shipping from the US clinic of your choice to the embassy, and shipping it back to the US clinic.

You will be given instructions anyways and further information are also given in the website, so I'm not going to go on further with the process.

4., 5., 6. It's better that she brings the child with her at the embassy for her interview. All the applicants that I've seen applying for the CRBA, brought their child/children with them. But your wife may call the US embassy in MAnila about it just to be sure.

**Just read the instructions in the website further as everything is there. YOur wife may need to really read it further as she will be the one who will be at the interview.**

[raerjinx 1]

By the way, in the link that I gave you http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html,

it is stated specifically below that the CHILD must be at the interview. Please read the entire site carefully.

**I copied and pasted a part of the instructions in their website.

Book An Appointment

U.S. Embassy Manila is implementing an online appointment-only system for applications for Consular Reports of Birth Abroad and Claims to U.S. citizenship. After gathering all required documentation, you may schedule an appointment for an in-person interview.

The child must be present at the interview. Both parents are strongly encouraged to accompany the child.
