My husband is Zambian and I am American. I was living overseas in China when we met and had moved to Namibia where we planned to reside. When it came time for me to give birth, my husband insisted that I return to the states because of the governmental issues with receiving birth certificates there. Plus, I also wanted to give birth with my parents nearby because it was my first time. Now a year later, my husband is still waiting for his visa to be approved as it is a gruesome process and we decided to get our baby boy a passport in the event that his visa continues to take longer and we need to go abroad so we can all be together. I wonder if it’s the same process in Europe & Africa or if it’s different.
