What should I do if my baby
is born abroad?
A baby born abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s) should be reported
as soon as possible to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
What documentation is required
of a child born outside the U.S. of legal permanent residents?
A child born abroad of legal permanent resident parents may enter
the U.S. without a visa provided the child is accompanied by a parent
upon that parent's initial return to the U.S. within two years of
the child's birth with documentation showing the parent-child relationship.
The legal permanent resident
parents left the child abroad with family members and returned to
the U.S. They now wish to bring the child to the U.S. What must
they do?
The child must have an immigrant visa to enter the U.S. What if
my U.S. parent(s) did not register my foreign birth at a U.S. Embassy
or Consulate? If you were born in a foreign country to a U.S. citizen
parent or parents and your parent did not register your birth in
the form of a Consular Report of Birth FS-240, you may apply to
a U.S. passport agency for a U.S. passport (proof of citizenship),
or, alternatively, to USCIS for a Certificate of Citizenship to
document your U.S. citizenship.
