K1 & CRBA (merged)

[monsterbys 2]

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone the same situation like ours. We had a k1 interview at the manila us em last nov 14, we should be good to go but the consul required us to get a crba for our 1 yo son. We honestly didnt know he would qualify to be a usc since his fathers name wasnt on the nso (he was in the us when i gave birth and wasnt able to sign the bc) the consul was surprised and even said what are we guys doing, he my son doesnt need a visa, he needs a crba and a blue passport. So they put my visa on hold until i get my sons crba. My questions are:

Does my fiancé meet the physical presence requirements in the us? He went to the us 2002 his mom petitioned him, he got naturalized 2011, around 2012/2013 he went back to the philippines to study culinary thats when we knew each other after 2014 hes back in the us to work until now. Does he pass the physical presence requirements or does he need to be in the us 5 yrs after he got naturalized as usc? Please help me

I was wondering if someone has the same situation like ours could shed some light. We had a k1 interview at the manila us em last nov 14, we should be good to go but the consul required us to get a crba for our 1 yo son. We honestly didnt know he would qualify to be a usc since his fathers name wasnt on the nso (he was in the us when i gave birth and wasnt able to sign the bc, and though its a big deal having the name of the father on the bc here in the ph i just trusted him coz i knew he was going to fulfill his responsibilities with or without papers) the consul was surprised and even said what are we guys doing, he said my son doesnt need a visa, he needs a crba and a blue passport. So they put my visa on hold until i get my sons crba. He had proceed to ACS at the second floor , gave me a paper with a check on the "usc may have met physical requirements"

My questions are:

Does my fiancé meet the physical presence requirements in the us?

He went to the us 2002 his mom petitioned him as immigrant , he stayed there until 2011 then he got naturalized 2011, around 2012/2013 he went back to the philippines to study culinary thats when we knew each other, july 2014 hes back in the us to work until now. Does he pass the physical presence requirements or does he need to be in the us 5 yrs after he got naturalized as usc?

He has worked from 2014 up until today. He also had worked before but he wasnt a usc then. This is the only concern we have other requirements, we can prove no doubt.

In case we get denied of crba do we get denied of k1 visa too or do we have other options. I hope someone could help.
