CRBA though Naturalised parent
Hi I know how professional you guys are so I came so that you can help. Im a US citizen thanks to u guys. But im leaving abroad and about to have a daugther in 3 months with my gf we are not maried. I wanted to know if I can apply for my child CRBA and what will I need. Will sur be accepted or have Her citizenship. I left the US 2 months after i received my citizenship because I found a good job overseas but before that I have been living there for 11 years. What can I do for my future daugther. There is a place saying the parent must have been in the US for 5 years prior to the child birth but I think in my case it is 5 years after I got my citizenship. Or am I mistaking. Otherwise all naturalised parent must only have children 5 years after they naturalize which Will be funny. Also in 3 weeks it will be 4 years since I have become an American.

Relevant law:

Personally I would think that being present in the US for 5 years prior would mean also needing to be a US Citizen during that time, which would disqualify you in this case.
I'm sure others will give their thoughts when the East Coast begins to wake up.

Re: CRBA though Naturalised parent
He may have issues evidencing his eligibility, no idea but know that can be an issue.
Do know with the issue that processing is currently tricky. But it is one of those apply things, seems he wants to and there is only one option.

8 FAM 301.7-3(B)(a)(2):
Naturalized citizens may count any time they spent in the United States or its outlying possessions both before and after being naturalized, regardless of their status. Even citizens who, prior to lawful entry and naturalization, had spent time in the United States illegally can include that time;

You are mistaken. It is 5 years of physical presence in the US, in any status, or even no status.
