[jjep.com 4]

hello dear, my hubby and i dont know how to start now.. My husband will take his oath on Mar 6, 2014 and after that he will file I-130 for spouse and followed by I29f/k3 and k4 for our child. Now we read about CRBA, does our child a candidate to apply for CRBA? or does my husband need to file her k4 or I-130?

Thanks for your inputs

The child won't qualify for CRBA. Husband to file two I-130s (one for you, one for the child) and when the child enters into US with the immigrant visa he/she will become a USC. You will be a LPR.

Don't even bother filing I-129f - K3 visa very rarely makes it to Embassy (under 1% of cases).

why is it my child is not qualified?

Depends on situation. My son was born in Canada, (USC hubs) and before he filed petition for me, we got CRBA for my son and hubs didn't file i-130 for him.

There are condition though, if your hubby recently or will become a USC and you already have a child together, then no. A parent has to prove they were a resident of the US for a minimum I believe, for 14 years prior to child's birth.

thanks, its clear up on me now but anyway the uscis agent was the one who told us to file for k3 and k4 for our child

No, children need standalone I-130 petitions as in 99.99% of cases you will not get the K3 and the kids will not get K4 (I-129f administratively closed at NVC when it makes it there with approved I-130). Follow the I-130 process unless you want to spend extra time separated from your children as you wouldn't listen and send in I-130s for kids. Up to you.
