@Lemonslice so correct me if I am wrong but you’re saying that I will have to apply for CRBA first get it refused reschedule and Interview at the embassy and then consequently risk my I-130 petitions from being rejected all together. Then why file petitions in the first place if I had to go about it through this process.

@Lemonslice No if you go through the requirements mentioned in that document there are some prerequisites mentioned to establish continuous presence in US for 5 years, of which 2 years should be after the age of 14. The maximum I have lived after being naturalized is 6 months and some odd days.

I am posting this topic due to recent refusal of the I-130 petitions filed on behalf of my spouse and children under INA Section 221(g), due to the request for Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) documentation for my children (refusal notice attached). I became a U.S. citizen in 1993, but was unable to fulfill the requirement of five years of continuous residence in the United States after naturalization. Hence I do not meet the criteria to apply for CRBAs for my children, now I am confused on how to appeal for a CRBA requirement be waived, as my primary objective was to establish immigrant visa status for my spouse and the children, and not to claim birthright citizenship for the children alone. I have an attorney who helped me file these petitions, the attorney and me we have emailed the Concerned Embassy but still waiting for a response from them. Can some one here guide me who should I email or contact for appealing to reconsider the refusal.

I have some questions regarding President Trumps Travel Bans and its repercussions on my Family’s pending cases (DQ Date August 2024 for spouse and children under 21) and assuming that His administration decides to add Pakistan to either the Yellow or Orange List of Banned Countries, what will happen then? How long will they be waiting for their Interview appointment letters to arrive? Will my family be able to travel to USA once they get their immigrant visas approved? Or what do you all think might happen? Please shed some light on this issue.
