Unknown biological father

I'll post this here as it relates to my wife's I-130 that she filed on my behalf.

It's been three months since she filed, but I have a question.

She doesn't know her biological father. Has never had any contact with him, and was raised by her biological mother and step father. Although she hasn't been legally adopted by her step father, she has her step father's last name. It has been kind of a non-topic in their family since she has always considered her step father as her "dad."

In the marriage certificate, her step father is listed as "bride's father."

However, when it came to filling out the G-325A she was kind of at a loss, and listed "father" as "unknown." She included a letter in the package explaining exactly what I've explained here.

Does anyone see any potential problems with this?
