Yes, I am listed on my son's birth certificate.

Not filing the CRBA was a mistake/blessing on my part to some degree as I needed my wife and son to arrive to the US before a certain date, in order to ensure that I could add them to my work health plan before the enrollment period was over.

As much as the mistake served us well by providing faster entry to the states as the CRBA would of been another lengthy process - I'm somewhat financially disappointed that I'll potentially have to pay for two AOS - when I acquired us citizenship at birth.

I did meet the requirements and I think our k1/k2 case went under the radar because my wife applied for a Jamaican passport for our son prior to me filing for them.

What proof could I provide to prove otherwise that he is a us citizen before applying for his passport? Or is simply applying for his AOS the best route to take?

Thanks again in advance!

Hello All,

I am a US citizen by birth. My fiancee and I had our child out of wedlock 3 years ago abroad in the Caribbean. We never filed for CRBA.

Fast forward to today...my spouse (as we're recently married) and our son came to the USA on K1/K2 visas respectively. I am going to file for her AOS immediately.

My question is instead of applying for a green card for our son, can't I just apply for a US passport for him? By providing his birth certificate and our marriage certificate - as he attains US citizenship through me...? Any light on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank You.
