No you cannot go with either. Your child has no right to US citizenship so you can't use either of these forms.

You need to file an I-130 petition and obtain an immigration visa for your son. Look at my previous post, I have already outlined what you need to do.

I just talked to USCIS and you are right, They advised me on taking the I130 route. I appreciate your advise. Thanks!

No CRBA, as the child was born before you became a citizen.

can i go with the N600 or N600K route?

My son was born before My wife and I got married. they both carry my last name now. Do We still fall on the "birth abroad Out-of-wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Father?

I've been in service since 2001. I'm currently stationed here in japan since 2006. My son was born on 2010, a year "BEFORE" I got naturalized and got married to the mother of my son. Below are my concerns/questions:

1. does my son qualify for CRBA? or I have to go through the N600 or N600K route?

2. Since My son was born before me and my wife got married, does that mean my son qualify under "U.S. Citizen father and born out of wedlock" category? even though I am married to her mother now?

3. Does my time as a permanent resident qualify for the 5 years?

4. If i have a signed and notarized "affidavit of paternity" from the staff judge advocate office, and I have my son using my Last name, and he is also listed on my "page 2", is this enough for legitimation? under the current law in the Philippines, my son is illegitimate.

I would appreciate and welcome all advise.
