What paperwork should I get for the infant in order to immigrate?

[sarah2013 0]

Hi all,

I did a lot of research, but only found that to cross Canada-US border by land, the infant needs a Canadian birth certificate. I am expected to receive the immigrant visa soon (hopefully in two weeks, by June 15). The baby will be born in late June (around June 25). I am planning to immigrate to the U.S. around July 15th. The infant will be about 3 weeks old.

In this case, what paper work should I do for him in order to bring him along with me?

Thank you very much for your attention and I am hoping to receive some inputs from you.

Happy Victoria's Day weekend!

The child would need an immigrant visa too, unless his father is a USC. In that case, you would need to file CRBA.

What kind of IV do you have?

Thanks for your reply. My husband applied under E1 category (employment based, he is the principal applicant). We are both Canadian citizens and the baby will be born in Canada too. I am the dependent/spouse applicant. What is USC and what is CRBA? Sorry to bug you.

Sorry. USC means US Citizen. CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) doesn't apply to your case.

Anyway, here's what I found:

Am I right in the classification E1? or did you mean EB-1?

Yes, it is EB-1 or EB-1a. On the interview letter, it shows "Category: E1", it sometimes says it is "E11 category". All the same category. Thanks so very much for finding the information for me. Very much appreciated it! I am looking into those links you provided right now.

Sorry about the confusion. I realized your links are about "E1 non-immigrant visa". My husband and I are applying for EB-1a immigrant visa (or E11 category, sometimes it is called E1 category).
