I am a US citizen, my husband is a Korean citizen, and I am applying for my son’s US citizenship.
I understand I need proof of residence in the US, but most of my years in the US were during my childhood. I also have my university years and one working year in the US as an adult.
For the CRBA, must you have proof of residence for your childhood years? Like do I need to contact my preschool, elementary and middle schools for transcripts?
You must log in or register to comment.
No, they count it after 15 years old. Have you lived in the USA after 15 years old? I brought high school and college transcripts. If you have a lease from an apartment that would work out as well
As an aside, I was born abroad to a US citizen father, never applied for a CRBA and just applied directly for a US passport via the local consulate. The paperwork was similar, of course, but the consular staff said that applying directly for the passport was faster and less problematic. I don’t know whether it may be the same in your case.
I used transcripts, and I believe high school diploma plus undergrad and grad school was sufficient.
Go to the school district website for where you went to school. You can order the transcripts online to be sent via mail.
