During a separation a child was produced in my marriage. But with time and a lot of work we reconciled.

If I do not (because of drama from child's mother) have a strong relationship or any photos showing a relationship with the child, would this hurt chances of a successful interview?

How old is the child?

Is your name as the father indicated on the child's birth certificate?

Worst case scenario the embassy will demand for a DNA test if the consul is not satisfied with proof of bonafide relationship.

The child is actually for my husband. Not me. But yes he is listed as the father on the child's birth certificate.

I was just wondering if me not having a relationship with his child will hurt our case.

This child is an outside child. Not produced by me and my husband - he and another woman.

in USA Department of State Terms,

what is the legal label

of the relationship between you and this child,

that makes the child petitionable by you ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Sorry I got confused.

Quick answer: no.

The consul will be reviewing how bonafide your marriage is. It is to your advantage that you have accepted that he had a child with another woman. That shows that your relationship has matured.

I'm only petitioning for my husband not the outside child. But I am concerned because as "step mother" I don't have a strong relationship with the child.

There are no photos with me my husband and the child or me and the child together. Is this something that can be a negative on our case?

No. What matters is your relationship with your husband. That's what the spousal visa is for.
