Copy. I plan on going back home to see the childbirth and stay in Manila for almost 1.5 months to do the CRBA process. 

 

What I'd like to do while I'm over there is to get CRBA, Passport, & SSN for the baby as well. Can it be done do you think in 1.5 months?

 

Thanks much! 

You can MAYBE do it in 1.5 months IF all the documents are already sent in and have an interview scheduled by the time you are there - and have a little luck on your side. The hangup for us was the DNA test, the process alone took 1 month to complete from end of interview to test results. The waiting game for the DNA appointment was also tough. It might have helped that I sent them a couple of emails to get updates but YMMV. It was probably another week or so for the passport to arrive. In total, the entire process was around 5 months for us, from birth to passport...but I took a bit of time to make sure everything was in order.

Nov 2018 filer here. Just wanted to say that our petition and aos were approved the other week. Been lurking on VJ and learned a lot about the process from all the stories and helpful tips & information here. It all helped us be as prepared as possible, and thankfully everything has gone smoothly so far. All the best to everyone!
