@op If you had asked the relevant authority then you should know there is no way you CAN START anything yourself aside the submission of the application at the embassy, if all the relevant documents have been put together. Everything is on your husband to do in the US. The only thing you have to do in Nigeria is to get a National Population Census birth certificate for the child. He has to go to his county court in the US to do an affidavit of parentage and the rest,attach his proof of citizenship,marriage certificate(there is a form too to file for a child if the parents are not married)attach the right fee and you if he is not around you can then submit the application yourself. You can get more info from LagosACS@state.gov That is the wing of the US EMBASSY responsible for such matters and i assure you,your question will be answered under 24 hours. There is no short cut to it and there is no advice any Nairalander can give you. If the child was born to a US Citizen and they have no reason to have suspicion then it should be straight but if your application raises suspicion,that is when the DNA thing comes into play just to confirm the paternity of the child,the US don't joke. I should know because i did one not long ago. Good luck. |

Thanks very much for the response. This is exactly what I needed. When husby came around he visited the embassy but at a wrong day and he was told I could do it in his absence. He dropped some documents with me but on filling the forms I discovered some sections that only the US citizen must sign in presence of a consular. Now I understand he can fill them over there. [b][/b]There is no short cut to it and there is no advice any Nairalander can give you. Atleast I got the info I needed on nairaland |
