If he is the son of a USC you can apply for a consular report of birth abroad for him - all 3 of our children were born in Canada - my husband is a USC and we got them all the consular report of birth abroad.

I updated my timeline. Sorry, I'm new to the website. I am the USC (the mother) and applied for consular report of birth abroad at the embassy in Bulgaria, but didn't get it because I didn't satisfy the 5 year physical presence in the U.S. prior giving birth. Do you know if my child is eligible to become a U.S. citizen upon arrival in the U.S. and what needs to be done in this case? Thanks in advance!

Then your child needs an immigrant visa. He will need an I-864w. Upon entry with an immigrant visa (IR2) when hes under 18, and in your physical custody, he will be acknowledged as a USC and you can apply for a passport for him.

Thank you, NLR. Currently, the letter says it would be IR-1 visa. What is the difference?

[NikLR 13,220]

IR1 is for a spouse of a USC

IR2 is for a child of a USC.

Did you send an I-130 for your child and your husband?

You needed to send 2 I-130 packages because you don't qualify for the CRBA.

[Mim4eto 0]

Yes, I sent 2 I-130 forms. For my husband is CR1, and for the child - IR1.

[NikLR 13,220]

that's weird. No it's IR2 for the child.

NLR, Yes, it is IR2. Sorry for the confusion,
