You may ask the US Consulate via an email to the American Citizens Services if it would be possible for your child to use a Philippine passport instead since she's also a Filipino citizen. A US passport is not a "must" to travel, and a Citizen Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is something that could be established later. In fact the child has until the age of 18 to establish this fact, but citizens are encourage to have this done right away because the later this is done, the more problems could arise.

We could always request as "requesting is free". The worst thing that could happen is "you get turned down", but at least you tried. The reason why the US consulate is pushing for a completed CRBA is because they would like to be sure that you are the biological father and that you were really around when the child was conceived. If you weren't around at the period of conception, then you must execute an affidavit of "no US citizen claim" for your child in order for your child to be accepted as a US immigrant. This step is really a long process and there's been a long discussion about this in a separate discussion here in this forum.

As long as there is no DNA test required. There would be no visa issued at this time for the child anyway, since no petition has been filed for the child.

Whether DNA tests for the child and father will be requested, depends on the circumstances. The shorter the period of time the USC was in the PI around the time of conception, the more likely they'll want DNA tests.

How long was the visit during which the child was conceived? Regardless of the answer, the mother should obtain full medical records of her pregnancy including the doctor's estimate of conception date, as well as evidence of the USC's presence in the PI in and around that time.

Agree, the only thing I would change is the mother MUST obtain full medical records of her pregnancy including the doctor's estimate of conception date, as well as evidence of the USC's presence in the PI in and around that time. This is the primary source, USEM will review, and make the determining outcome.

If not this will go only two ways, If you do not bring the required documentation, USEM will suspend processing of the application and you may be required to schedule another appointment or DNA tests for the child and father will be requested.
