We are soliciting public comments to

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The purpose of the information 

collection is to determine if a U.S. 

citizen/national parent possesses the 

requisite physical presence or residence 

in the United States prior to their child’s 

birth to transmit U.S. citizenship to the 

child, to establish parentage of the 

child, and to fulfill the requirements of 

8 U.S.C. 1409(a) which requires a 

written statement of financial support to 

be provided by U.S. citizen fathers for 

children born out of wedlock. 

Methodology 

The information is collected in 

person. The Bureau of Consular Affairs 

is currently exploring options to make 

this information collection available 

electronically.
