My wife and 3 month old baby are currently here in the us visiting on the vwp. The intention was that they would go back to the uk whilst she finished her studies but now they're here and i've met my baby, we can't cope with being parted again. What can we do? They are both on uk passports and we haven't started to file for my wife yet, as we thought she would be coming in 2 years! Thank you for any advice. I am a us citizen, if it helps.

Thank you! Is this something we do for each of them? I don't know what to do about my daughter as I read this morning that she should not have entered on a uk passport as i am a us citizen, and she should have gone to the embassy in london to apply for a us passport!

Great, from within the us? Her birth was registered in the uk and not here! Do you know where i would do that?

Since the child was born abroad, you or wife should file CRBA at the US embassy in the UK.

Find nearest passport office; call ahead about passport services.

Take your baby daughter, your US passport or Citizenship document, and baby's birth certificate with father's name to Post Office.

CRBA is not necessary. Helpful? Yes perhaps. But OP would need to be there for the interview

Are you sure that it's not necessary? Or is that just your opinion?

Applying for a US passport for a child born in the US is different from a child born outside the US.

Yep, certain. I'm a Canadian fiancé is a USC. He wouldn't be able to be with me in Canada for more than a week after birth. I called the consulate in Toronto and was told it isn't necessry once the child is stateside providing he gives proof of residency requirements. This was confirmed at his local passport office

Thank you so much - will get in touch with them and see what they say!

Yup that's better. Make it clear to them that you didn't file CRBA coz some passport office people are not really that much informed especially if you're inquiring thru phone. Misunderstandings can happen.

Keep us posted and good luck!

Dear cjn15:

Please do not allow your wife to overstay her 90-day VWP allotted time. If she overstays her allotted 90 day time period and then leaves the United States, she could be subjected to either a three or ten year bar from re-entering. If she is prevented from re-entering the United States for either three or ten years after she leaves, how much more will you miss her then?

Moreover, absent other circumstances, she is likely required to obtain a different status by consular processing, only available in her home country, in this case the United Kingdom.

Please do not allow her to overstay her VW.

Pay no attention to this post and follow the guides that have been linked and other advice about the passport for your baby that you were given. Any overstay of VWP/Tourist visas is forgiven with marriage to a USC. Just make sure your wife and baby do not leave the US until they have greencard in hand. That should take about 3 to 5 months.
