If the child has one parent that is a US Citizen then the child is a US Citizen, no visa needed. The birth needs to be registered at the Consulate, and a passport will be issued.

That is correct if the child was after he got his naturalization.


Hello All thanks for your answers, i am still a bit confused i read on a site about consular report of birth ( The US CITIZEN PARENT MUST HAVE BEEN PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES FOR A PERIOD OF OR PERIODS TOTALLING FIVE YEARS PRIOR TO THE BIRTH OF THE CHILD, AT LEAST TWO YEARS OF WHICH WERE AFTER THE US CITIZEN PARENT REACHEAD THE AGE OF 14 YEARS.) my cousins husband has been living in the US as a permanent resident for 17 years, he got natralized before the birth of his son, can he trasmit US Citizenship to his son? during these years he lived in the US, only came to Jamaica on visits


Hey

Yes his son is now a USC b/c ur cousins hubby was naturalized b4 his birth like the previous posts say..just tell ur cousin to go register the baby birth at the consulate in Jamaica that is the US consulate




Hi Kimmikashi, thanks for your info, my cousin's hubby spoke to someone at USCIS and they said he needs 2 1-130 petitions, so i guess the child didnt qualify for immediate citizenship, they already sent him the paper work.
thanks again for your reply


Be very careful w/ the USCIS line it is also known as the mis-information line. They reps are reading the screen like you and me. You should probably speak to an immigration lawyer before you submit the forms.



that is the truth... I called USCIS last week to ask about a k-4 and was told to file form I-539....so not true


Hi Jengles, do you think my cousins hubbby needs 2 1-130 petitions he is not going the k3/k4 route they are going the CR1-CR2, they already sent him 2 sets of G325A's one for him one for his wife and 2 1-130 petition forms one for his wife one for his child.



Ok, has ur cousin check wit hthe consulate as yet ? that would be her best bet


Hi KimmiKashi, my cousin checked with the consulate, by email, she has been emailing them since the child was 2 months old he will be 6 months old soon, they forwarded her email to another department, because they said they wont be able to tell if the child is qualified for the consular report of birth or not, we tried calling no luck!!! a few weeks ago we resent the emal, they replied saying the father should file 2 1-130 petitions, so they decided that they will do just that. when the child gets to america he will be automatically be a US Citizen
thanks for your reply

Hi All,

not sure if i am posting in the right forum, i will go ahead and ask these questions

A family member of mine is married to a Jamaican Citizen he is now a naturalized US Citizen, they have a 5 month old son together, my question is should he file 2 seperate 1-130 petitions (one for his wife one for the child? we contacted the US emabssy in Jamaica about it by email, we explained to them that we are going the CR1-IR1 route, i even asked about the consular report of birth for the child, i dont think they seem to know what that is, they replied to us saying that if the child isnt qualified for the consular report of birth (which we dont know if he is or not) the husband should file seperate 1-130 petitions, what do you think we should do? any info will be greatly appreciated



The Consular Report of Birth states the child was born in JA by b/c the child was born to a US Citizen parent the child is also a US Citizen. Was the child born in JA after the mom recv'd her cert of naturalization? If so then the son qualifies but if not then yes the mom would have to file two I-130's (son & husband).


Hi Nyseness, My cousin is the Mother of the child she is a Jamaican Citizen living in Jamaica the child was born here in Jamaica, her husband is A Jamaican Citizen he is now a Nautralized US Citizen, so the question is should he file 2 1-130's thanks

Congratulations Islanddream...In fact they are not only requesting the DS-230 part 1; they want you to send the entire DS-230 form even though you will sign Part 2 at the embassy. They want you to send in your original birth certificate and marriage certificate, as well as your police certificate. If you haven't gotten them yet, try getting your birth certificate and marriage certificate together. You should have your interview way before you are about to give birth.

Best of luck to you!!! good.gif

Hey All,
not sure if you Remember some months ago i posted about my cousin getting a consular Report of birth for her son,
i got some really good comments from you guys on what she should do, i contacted the embassy for her again and they didnt give us any definate answer, i said to her the best thing you can do is go to the embassy and get the forms, the problem is her husband couldnt make it to Jamaica, and the info said both parents should be here at the embassy,
anyway he decided to go ahead and file 2 seperate 1-130's since the embassy was telling him #######, the 1-30s are pending. just a few days ago i said to myself let me send another email to the embassy to see what they have to say, to my surprise they gave me another email adress to send the email to, i did that, the next day i got an email, asking a few questions about when did the US citizen parent got nautralized, and proving 5 years physical presence in the US ect ect, i replied to them, i got an email from them with instructions on how my cousin and her husband can apply for the consular report of birth, bwoy dem people yah full a shitt, imagine we emailed them many times when the child was only 2 months old, now he is nine months old, his dad could have saved that money and just file one 1-130.

Do you think he should cancel his son 1-130, now he wants to go ahead with the consular report of birth, they wont give him back the money for the 1-130. what do you guys think, my cousin is soooooo confuse right now

CaribbeanAirport Bus Service
i lived in kingston for a few years so i know a little about the runnings. take an on time taxi to Dominica Dr in kingston or tell them you want to go the bus terminal, should cost you less than $1000, they have 4 trips to ochi if your coming during the week (its adifferent schedule on the weekend). Take the bus to ochi. from there you should find you way home and that shouldnt cost you $50 USD round trip. Next time try find a flight to montego bay, its easier to get home from there.

O.K., I am far from this step, however I am always one step of things. I would like to know what if my husband doesn't have a Taxpayer Registration number? What will he need in place of that. It states that when applying for the Police Certificate he will need the following:

Valid Passport-Check
Taxpayer Registration number---- What do we do now :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:
Two passport photos-Check
Receipt of payment from any tax office-Check

If anyone that is currently or has filed for their Jamaican spouse please help if you know the answer.

Thanks,
Nattie


Its easy to get a TRN once he never had one before. im not sure if he needs his birth certificate but he needs to fill out a application form there and he will get a temp card until the permanent one is ready. he should be able to conduct business with it. Dont understand still, how is it that he has a passport, but no TRN, did he lost his or cant find it?

PS. Dont rush to get the police record, dont wanna get it too early. wait until you get NOA2. then he will have enough time..........just my advice still

What im saying is that, the 1000 they collecting for 30 days service and the 2000 they collecting for the express isnt that enough. how much they want us to pay for one fricking thing.

Caribbeanpolice report-timing

Since you have been approved and is moving on to the NVC stage, it's the right time to have him go and look about it. After getting your case number and the time comes for him to submit the ds-230 form to NVC with all the relevant documents, he'll be required to also submit police record.

For the police record, they offer an express service for $2000JM for 5 or 7 business days. He'll need to take his passport and two passport size pictures.


:thumbs:
Im seeing where they say you pay for the service at the tax office and then take the receipt along with passport and passport photos to locations that does finger printing. one is in Mobay...its call summit station on Sunset Blvd (the road to the airport). Do finger print there and then he has to go kingston to pick it up. thats my understanding

CaribbeanDS-230

When did the NVC send the package to Jamaica? If its been 4 days...You can email the signed DS230 to the embassy. The next day you should get an email that says "received & submitted". Then wait about 4 days and call the DOS and ask them if an interview date has been established.

CaribbeanWHAT IS WRONG WITH JAMAICAN EMBASSY!!!!?

:angry: OK so i am super mad right now and fed up with Jamaica's system! they are SOOO SLOPPY!!!my husband got a call yesterday from the Jamaican embassy saying that the person we used for joint sponsor isnt sufficient which is complete BULL! because the sponsor for my husband needs to make 18,912 dollars according to the poverty guidelines and our sponsor makes $26,000 so wat r they talkin about? i clled NVC and explained to them and even hey dont understand what the Jamaican embassy is saying bcuz im sure NVC is used as the clearing house 4 all paperwork and if there was sumthing wrong with the affidavit they would not send it to Jamaica! it was a Jamaican person tht called my husband so i am wondering if possibly th person made a mistake bcuz not all of them r familiar with how to go about reading into the financial details of a case. NVC told me they should b using the current income of the sponsor (not the tax return) to determine if the sponsor is eligible. my sponsor only worked half the year in 2011 so she made half of the 26,000 but RIGHT NOW according to the pay stubs and other evidence we sent in she makes 26,000 which nvc says is wat the embassy should be using because that is her current income! and thats wat they used to determine that our sponsdor was eligible. I am just mad bcuz its 2weeks b4 my husbands interview and such a error is being made by the Jamaican embassy! has anyone gone through this problem? please help.....i will be contacting the embassy early monday morning! :angry:
NVC has also informed me that f i have any problems with the embassy after trying to contact them i should call back to speak with a head manager bcuz they even went over the financial papers with me on the phone and said there is no way the Jamaican embassy would get my case from them if the financial evidence was not up to par with the current requirements.

Im soo sorry to hear. your not the first person i have heard making a complaint like that. I hope ever thing get resolve in a speedy manner

CaribbeanMedical in jamaica and packet 4

I received the email with the interview date two weeks after I emailed the DS230 form to the Embassy. And then today he received the Packet 4 (two days after the email). It is my understanding that the medical appointment only requires that he brings his passport, 4 passport photos, the interview appointment letter, any immunization records that he may have and at least $23,000jmd( which is $9,900jmd for the medical exam and the other $13,100 depending on the immunizations needed).


ok cool. thanks for the information. I have my immunization records. i think i should be up to date, maybe i might need a shot or two but should be good. going to try schedule one on monday :thumbs:
