ctira Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 My friend will be traveling to the U.S. to visit a friend for 3 weeks. She will be taking her 5 year old son along with her. She already had a U.S. visa, but her child doesn't. Obviously the parents need to apply for him. Questions are: 1. I assume both parents will need to be at the embassy for the child's visa process, right? 2. Since the child will be traveling with one parent, does any document or written consent need to be presented at the counsular during application? Does it need certified by the foreign ministry? 3. How about problem at the airport, immigration U.S. checkpoint? I'm asking this b/c I've read somewhere about airlines becoming more strict with children traffiking. They need proper evidence that the child is not being abducted. Please help clarify. Any other things that needs done please tell. Thank you!

Mario2008 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Recommended is to take the birth certificate with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctira Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thai birth certificate only? Does ti need to be translated and notaraized by the U.S. embassy? I tried contacting the embassy. They do not answer the phone for these type of questions. Or should I call the airlines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
