your passport should be enough to prove you are a us citizen. if not they will let you know

Yes you should be fine.. I went through this in March & got my baby CBRA within 2 weeks

hey Ada thank you for the reassurance. did they mention it or even ask for it?

in my case they required my passport, my birth certificate, marriage certificate and all the child's documents and copies of everything to file for my son's crba

Connor were you born in the us?

yes I am

my situation is a bit different I was born outside and because a citizen through my parent at the age of 8

ah okay, and I filed my son's crba in south africa so they might just be more strict there with paternal situations

did you walk in or did you send them an email with all the documents first and then they gave you an appointment

I had to email them all my documents to be reviewed before they even gave me an appointment date. this was during covid however

I just did that and they just gave me an appointment. do they ask for more documentation other than the ones sent in? they didn’t say anything in the email just,”  Please be advised that although we have reviewed your documents by e-mail, you must bring all documents to the U.S. Embassy at the interview. “

no they won't ask for any extra, if they reviewed and gave you an appointment you should be good. just make sure to pay attention to what they need originals and copies for because they confused me there

all they mean by that is, you emailed them the documents just to make sure you have the right stuff but they still need the physical documents for their own purposes

awesome thank you so much, that makes me feel much better

no problem, this process was very confusing for me to do alone, plus I traveled half way across the world just for the interview to make it more difficult, so I'm glad I can make it at least a little easier for you

thanks I’m traveling across the world also, I have an appointment for my son and then I have the visa for my wife a week later. it’s going to be a doozy

sounds like your in a similar situation but I'm still not even close to my wife's visa being appointment ready yet unfortunately

hopefully soon for you, I applied in 2019

thanks, I hope so. I'm glad your expierence is almost to an end! good luck with everything else!

thanks you too

I’m super late but I reallly was overthinking it. I had brought school records and everything and they were very relaxed about it all. I would just say make sure you bring things that show what they are asking you to bring and as long as you do that you should be ok
