Did you have your interview with the consular officer already?

If you did and they did not ask for anymore documents then wait for 30-60 days till you receive baby's CRBA. If you requested for her passport then it should arrive with the CRBA. After which you need to contact SS desk at USEM to apply for babyS SSN.

Hope this help!

Hi peachesjae, thanks for the information. Our appointment is scheduled next month. I hope my baby's CRBA and passport will be good already as early as 30 days after our appointment. Do I need to set another appointment then for my baby's SSN?

When you apply for your CRBA, you can probably go check the SSA section at the Embassy to get a SSN. http://manila.usembassy.gov/service/citizenship/first-time-report-of-birth-abroad7.html

my daughter was born in Mexico and it the guy told me right then that it was approved, then to apply for passport and I had her passport in about 2 weeks. I assume it could be different in other countries, but it was fast for me

and the child born abroad arrived about the same time as the passport. It came pretty fast. And I just came back to the US with her us passport and made an appointment at the social security office here and got her social security number here. They just asked to see her original birth certificate and the child born abroad certificate
