If the two of you entered at the same time, that's not possible. It's a mistake and he got the wrong card. He does not have to remove conditions. File I-90 to replace his card.

I'm surprised that you have been waiting that long to clarify this situation.
I approve what colleague above said.

You have to pay for the cards.

hi
p
you have up to 1 year to get the GC, you must pay, the stamp is only temporary proof until you get the card, the GC is for everything to prove that you are a resident,
plus you will need the GC to remove conditions 90 days before your GC expires.
you have to pay the $165 each

USCIS Immigrant Fee
If you are immigrating to the United States as a lawful permanent resident, you must pay the $165 USCIS Immigrant Fee, unless you meet one of the exemptions.
------
"Must" unless you meet an exemption

Yes you have to pay for the cards. You will need these for when you remove conditions and apply for the 10 year greencard,

What the consul was thinking..... where did the embassy's learn that your son has a USC father in the first place? Is he listed on the birth certificate as such?

The embassy needs to get their head wrapped around the fact that your husband is NOT the father and that the father is not in the picture at all...
If you can get the USC bio-father involved then you can complete CRBA, otherwise this is a lost cause.

I am not sure how you can complete CRBA without the bio-father. If they request DNA testing how will you get this done without the bio-father? How can you get the CRBA forms completed without the bio-father's signature and personal information? ... I think the embassy was not paying attention on this one and for some stupid reason believe your husband to be the father.
I think this was one sleeping dog that should have been left laying and not mentioned at all.

In this checklist is the "kicker":

 “Affidavit of Parentage, Physical Presence and Support” (DS-5507). If the parents were not married at the time of the birth of the applicant and the father is the U.S. citizen, the father must complete the Form DS-5507. Do not sign the document if the father will be present at the interview. If the father will not be present, the father must sign the form (signature is required on pages 3 and 4) and get it notarized by a U.S. commissioned notary. If the father is deceased, you will need to submit an original death certificate and photocopy. For a death that occurred in the Philippines, we require an NSO death certificate. Download the Form DS-5507 from *** and this:  Evidence of parents’ U.S. citizenship The U.S. citizen parent(s) must present his/her current and expired U.S. passports and a photocopy of each passport and each page. We will accept a notarized copy of the current U.S. passport and its pages in lieu of the original. (Note: we only accept documents notarized by a U.S. commissioned notary). If the U.S. citizen parent was naturalized, he/she must bring the original Certificate of Naturalization.

Not likely... as in don't hold your breath on that one. The USC bio-father abandoned the child, so there is no real way of proving the child is a USC. Her husband is not the father of the child. The consulate will NOT automatically deny a CR-2 in this situation, and a IR/CR-2 is the only way the child can legally enter the USA.

If the father is a USC you will have to file a CRBA first. Depending if it's appproved or denied, you will then either receive a US passport for your child, or will be able to file for a CR-2 visa.
The consulate will automatically deny a CR-2 if their is a potential claim to USC, so do this first.

Affirmative helpful Hank_. (Yes.)
His information is on there and he signed it and checked the box stating he is the culprit responsible.
He signed in his name clearly on the NSO birth certificate that we have and put his profession and full name
There are pictures with them together before and they had a place together.
I....also...was wondering what the embassy was thinking, though, I trust the Almighty GOD is able to remedy this shortly.
(Translation below)
Yes.
NSO birth certificate signed by him clearly.
He checked box that he is the biological "father"
His profession is listed along with his first, middle, and last name.

Not sure what the embassy is thinking either, without the bio-father signing the required forms CRBA isn't happening ... embassy sometimes does the weirdest things. I hope it gets remedied very soon for you all as well.

Go thru with CRBA, a denial is already expected anyway because according to you the bio father is no where to be found so he can't sign the forms. The consul will downright deny CRBA upon interview the minute you explain the situation.
Once CRBA is denied, the child can chase the IR2.

Very likely. This is what happend to me (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/431566-our-story-crba-for-our-child-denied-entering-the-us-with-a-baby-transportation-letter-and-citizenship-through-the-cca/) and here (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/495655-my-step-son-denied-cr2-at-interview-saying-he-is-usc-though-abandoned-3-years-ago-by-usc/)
ACS doesn't need it completed, USCIS just wants to see if it is approved or denied.
Aas mentioned above, USCIS needs to determine if the child has a claim to citizenship. If there is a "no-claim" letter issued, USCIS can continue with the CR-2.
It's not weird: By law they can not issue an immigrant visa to a USC (wouldn't make sense, too). That's why they need clarification, of the child's potential citizenship claim. This is a consular and not USCIS procedure.
