My kids were born in Dominican Republic all five of them. I am a citizen of the united states but was a resident before, so to do the papers I need to show proof of physical presence before I was 14 years of age which I do have does 5 years in proof since I came of 7 years old and I studied does years here. But I also need a record of 2 years after the age of 14 years and I am missing about 8 months of proof of physical presence. My mother can't find any old passport where I can get that evidence. I still have my old residence card.
Does anyone know how I can get that record of entering and exiting the USA?
I have been here for almost six months and need that last info to submitt the paperwork to bring my little angels home.
Will school records work? I assume you graduated from high school here or at least attended a couple years...
P.:
You have been out of the United States for how many years?
Did you attend school here in the United States? If so - then school records.
State Department - you needed a passport to get to the DR - so contact the State Department.
I don't understand why you need more paperwork to bring your children home. You say you are a United States citizen. You should have a valid passport that you traveled there on establishing your United States Citizenship.
I came to the united states when was 7 years old and I went to study to Dominican republic when I was 15 years old but kept traveling every 6 months since I had a letter that allowed me study over there.
when I became citizen I lived 10 years out of the USA but in that time I traveled back but only for 3 months in 2002 and then i worked in PR from may 2005 till jan of 2006.
I recently came back may 27 of this year.
P., I am not sure why you need to show proof of physical presence at all if you are a citizen of the United States. Are you sure you are a citizen?? Something isn't right here.
Talk to an immigration attorney. Maybe they could help you get records of some kind.
What about school records? If you were here and went to school, that should work.
Or medical records.
If you have no proof of physical presence, you need to wait and live in the US long enough to accumulate the time needed - there is no other way. It seems like your whole life was abroad, you had kids abroad and now you all want to come to US because you are the only one with the citizenship (or not yet? it seems like you do not have the citizenship yet and trying to get it so you can sponsor your family). You have to play by the rules. And I will tell you more, you need more than the physical presence to bring 5 kids into US.
