Hi..I have been married 2 years to a Colombian.  I am a US citizen residing in Colombia.  We had a baby 2 weeks ago.  Should I notify immigration?

You should apply for the baby's birth certificate via CRBA at the local consulate.

If you want to transmit your US citizenship to your baby, check to see if you qualify for a CRBA (consular report of birth abroad). You need to have 5 year physical presence in the US....2 of which after you turned 14. When I applied for my child's CRBA I used my high school and college official transcripts. You should email the US consulate in colombia...specifically the American Citizen Services to get more info on applying for the CRBA. You can technically wait for some time,  I applied 5 months after my child was born.

To add, this is only possible IF you were a USC before the kid was born. 

 

If you acquired citizenship after kid's birth, you cannot do this. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
