Can the baby obtain citizenship through you if born abroad? If so a CRBA and a US passport would be the way to fo.

 

Congrats.

I was in a similar situation but your's require an extra step. Since you fathered a child before marriage, a DNA paternity test must be done

along with the rest of the document. Make sure you have proof of living in the US for more than 5 years, other then that the process

of CRBA is very easy and quick. I got my baby's passport within 3 weeks.

Everyone needs a passport regardless of how old you are. Yes, even babies. And the offspring of an American citizen is an American citizen. You don’t need a visa for that child, but you do need paperwork to prove he’s yours.

Probably an American Citizen.

Yes the child will need a passport, no one, no matter the age, can travel without a passport.    Your fiancee will not be allowed to complete her interview until after CRBA is completed IF the child is born before.   Child IS NOT a K-2, child is a USC.

 

If the child is born in the Philippines you will have to complete CRBA, you will get the U.S. passport at that time.   ( I also highly suggest you get the Philippine passport immediately also, to avoid other issues.)

Depends.   There are a few requirements with this one.
