    Not quite.  The requirement is the USC parent's physical presence in the US for 5 years prior to the child’s birth, at least 2 of which were after the age of 14.  Those 5 years do not have to be consecutive and all 5 years can be after age 14, as long as all were before the child's birth.  So college transcripts and US employment records are acceptable evidence. @Modestmama

     

    Note that this is the general requirement for US physical presence, but there are actually different requirements depending on the circumstances of the child's birth -- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html

     

    Thank you!

    That should be okay. 

    Okay I'm stressing out. For the CRBA, I've read another experience and the officers asked questions or information that isn't included in the checklist or forms. So I need some clarification.
    Do we need to include our time OUTSIDE of the USA on the CRBA application?
    My supporting documents are 3 old USA passports, 2 bank statements (2 different banks), college transcript, high school diploma copy, previous teaching license, tax return from one year (only worked one year before moving), one dentist medical bill. Is this sufficient? Do they have to be notarized?
    They need 3 copies of the same birth certificate? Long form, right?

    You're most welcomed. I'm happy to help. I'm unsure if you can get both children under one appointment due to when you arrange the appointment it is usually per child. If you can manage to get both children on the day then that would be ideal. In my case, I found two appointments on separate days. If you can manage to get the opening times and have someone help you may be able to do but my experience was one appointment then went home, found another appointment and then went back. I travelled to London twice to do it. Takes some work but it is all worth it. It may be worth going onto the group on Facebook as many have their separate experiences and might be able to help in other ways. :)

    Just want to say thank you again for writing your post. I finally found an appointment because of that group and I pray everything goes smoothly. I’ll follow your steps

    I am in a forum on Facebook called "American Ex-Pats UK". They have resources and you can search the group for their WhatsApp group called "US Embassy Alerts" which help notify you when appointments become available. There is a window when appointments are released (usually on Wednesdays and Thursdays). I managed to book two appointments back to back following cancellations. To be honest, I was on the US website and clicking refresh and they came up. You have to keep trying that way. There is a lot of support and more tips available there. You will find an appointment, trust me. I was incredibly worried but kept at it and they came. 

    Thank you so much! I have to apply for two kids, do I need two appointments?
