Need Help Getting US Child to the USA

[Wilsanjo 10]

Hello Guys,

I had child abroad with a foreign citizen and did the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) and also applied for the child’s US Passport. The passport was printed by the US embassy in the foreign citizen home country and was picked up by child’s mother when it was ready.

 

I was thinking on immigrating both the child and mother to USA. However, upon my visit few months ago, I realized she was chatting with dudes and cheating behind by back. Because of this sad situation, I don’t trust her anymore and only want to get my child out of her country because of the lack of opportunities for my child. 
 

she is adamant and wouldn’t allow me to fly the child to the USA. Is there help out there that could help me getting the child from her? Moreover, financially, she can’t afford to take care of the child. All responsibilities for my child and her families have been on shoulder until I knew she’s cheating behind my back. I’ve decided to cut all support to family and only take care of my child at point. 

 

please help if you know of anyway I could get my child fit the USA.

I'm sorry, to be clear. Are you asking how to bring the child to the US without the mother's permission?

 

Good luck

If this is a possibility, yes!

Some of the more experienced members will correct me, but that might be classified as kidnapping.

Is there any  possibility that she can be given a visa based on the child’s citizen for her to immigrate to the USA if I don’t file for her?

I don’t want to kidnap the child. I thought there was an option available through legal means.

Which country are they in right now? Depending on the country, if the parents are unmarried, it's possible for the mother to have automatic sole custody of the child (ex. Philippines).

 

Your child would be able to petition for their mother... after the child becomes 21 years old.

1. Through her authorization

2. Through your legal sole custody of the child if a court or a governing body in her country provides you.

They are in Ghana, West Africa.

Most courts would not give the father sole custody unless there is something very disturbing 

 

Best to consult a local family lawyer

Hopefully someone with expertise in Ghana will chime in soon.

What I mean is, can she get like a visiting visa pretending to bring the child for visit since the child has a US passport? One of her friends told me that she wants to use the child to come to USA and then marry someone else. I don’t know if that’s possible.
