I think if you can show the embassy you have sole legal custody of the new born it may possible to move ahead without your husband but it's only a maybe. Since I assume, from your wording, that you're both still legally married. It's up to the consular officers discretion. If not, it's best you consult a lawyer.

UPDATE: Well, thats not a great response. So, I just paid again. Let’s see what happens in 2-3 business days.

I tried searching on here and google for this same issue and all I found was a few people who just kept paying over and over again after getting rejected multiple times. They never updated on what happened after or how it was resolved or if even they got refunds for the multiple payments.

Has this happened to anyone else? This morning I received an email from NVC that both fees were rejected. Then like a couple hours later we were DQ’d. So confused. I paid 2 weeks ago and the payments were cleared. Already sent an inquiry to NVC with screenshots from my bank of the payments. I’m thinking NVC has system issues.

I know. I made the payment 2 weeks ago. I'm just really confused. Check this out. Over an 2 hours later we were DQ'd. So was the payment accepted or rejected? Must be an NVC system issue.

Everything was going to great for us so far then today I got this email. Not a great start to the morning. My bank account does show NVC deducted the money. So I send an inquiry with screenshots of the transactions. Hopefully this gets resolved quickly.

I have some great news to share. Our petition was just approved today. We are very excited 😄. After nearly a year long wait, we are now one step closer.

That is very helpfully, Thank you.

@seekingthetruth I've already contacted the school I plan on enrolling my daughter into and an immunization record is required for California schools. The school had no experience with this so they couldn't help me. Still waiting for a reply from the school district.

Hey everyone, This question is specifically for parents of children born outside the US. Background Info: We'll be living in California She is currently 4 yrs old (maybe 5+ by the time my wife gets her IR1 VISA lol) My child was born in Thailand Already has her US passport and CRBA, so no VISA or medical exam required. When you enrolled your child (or children) into school, how did you handle the immunization records requirement? Should I get a doctor in Thailand to translate it? Will the school accept a translation? Tried researching on Google with no avail. All I have is this "pink book" the doctor fills out every time we go in for my daughter's vaccinations, all in Thai and I can't read it lol.

Not sure where you got this info but according to the USCIS website you can only mail it to an USCIS Lockbox in your area.

My answer would be "no", you cannot use child support as supplemental income. The underling purpose of child support payments is to ensure children receive the same proportion of parental income, and thereby enjoy the standard of living they would have experienced had their parents remained together. It's intended to benefit the child, NOT the sponsored immigrant. Just my thoughts. Whether you really can or not, I don't know. Hopefully, your normal income is sufficient. Otherwise, I suggest getting a joint sponsor.

There is no advantage to using an agent. I recommend visiting the US Embassy Philippines website for better and more info on CRBA than with USCIS, which doesn't handle CRBA. I did a CRBA for my daughter here in Thailand. It's easy, I just filled out and mailed the application with copies the required documents and evidence, a few days later got an email from the embassy for an appointment. At the appointment my wife, our daughter and I went in handed them the originals documents, reviewed it, then they asked us a few questions. Finally they congratulated us on successfully transmitting my citizenship to my daughter and handed my daughter a little American flag.

May I ask? Is your child also the biological child of the USC? Was the USC a US citizen at the time of the birth of the child and has at least 5 year presence in the US with at least 2 years of it after age 14yrs old? If yes to both, it may be possible to apply for CRBA and get a US passport for the child.

You missed quoted the instructions but yes the assets must equal 5 times the difference. If your child was 18 or older than 3 times. “Item Number 10. Total Value of Assets. In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size. However, if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or child age 18 years of age or older, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference. If the intending immigrant is a foreign national orphan who will be adopted in the United States after he or she acquires legal permanent residence, and who will, as a result, acquire citizenship under section 320 of the INA, the total value of your assets need only equal the difference.”
