    In May, I followed their instructions and sent an email to book a CRBA appointment in Cebu. Three weeks later I received a reply that there will be no appointments in Cebu until further notice and I should mail copies of all documents to Manila to get an appointment.

    Thanks. I actually posted this because someone had went there for that exact reason (didn't bother to check hours of operation), had asked me why it wasn't open and for me to make an appointment for them.

    As difficult as it has been to gather the required documents to get an appointment for my own child, I could not imagine you would be able to get an appointment for someone else. I would start at Birth | U.S. Embassy in the Philippines

    There is a 4 page CRBA checklist at https://ph.usembassy.gov/wp-content...1/CITIZENSHIP-CRBA-Checklist-2017-January.pdf

    CRBA U.S. Embassy Manila is a link to an expat's appointment experience in Manila in 2011.

    She went to the consulate because she was told that they would check over the paperwork and make the appointment for her. I've seen the checklist but her situation is a bit "difficult". The "father" is lazy, broke, not very bright, doesn't care about the kid, gets upset and threatens to not do the paperwork or withhold child support anytime he is asked if it is done, lost his passport 5 years ago and never reported it, doesn't have a valid visa to stay in the Philippines, was married to another Filipina with a kid, currently has an additional Filipina pregnant, is very likely senile and is just a shitty human being in general. If he doesn't get his sh*t together and stop acting like a complete piece of sh*t I will likely help this young lady make what is left of his pathetic life very very difficult.

    I was passing thru Cebu and went to the Consulate on one of the 2 days they were open in May. One (of many) checklist items was a notarized copy all the pages of my old passport. While waiting for my number to be called, a consulate employee was

    sorry for the interrupted reply - I thought I sent it yesterday. I don't know why only the non-astounding part was displayed.
    ... a consulate employee was going down the line to find out what people were there for, and looking over there paperwork. She informed me they would make copies at the appointment, and notarizing only required if I was not going to be there for the appointment.
    So yes, Cebu consulate does look over your paperwork, if you are there on the few days they are there.
    The father of the child has to show proof that he is an American citizen, so I would think he needs a passport. The CRBA checklist, mentions genetic testing, but cautions against getting it without their recommendation.
    I had LBC deliver the forms and documents to the U.S. Embassy in Manila and got a CRBA appointment in 3 weeks.

    The "father" has refused to go to Cebu because he says that Abu Sayaf will kidnap him. So.......yeah, that's what's being dealt with. :banghead:

    I wonder if it the fact that the girl was 17 when she got pregnant from a 76 year old man will make this even more complicated....or might have something to do with the reluctance to get this done. :meh:

    Any leverage to be had from the age of consent being 18 here? At least that is what I've been told. Statute of limitation, I don't know about, but in most countries it is long up to no limit for that sort of thing. Might warrant some attention since the age difference is so great, I don't know.
