My friend is in Cebu, philippines. She is a single mother.Never been married, and has a 2 year old daughter.

her daughter is not with her(daughter stays with his biological father)

My friend meet a wonderful man and decided to marry her.

They file the K1 fiancee visa petition this June and no NOA yet.

In the 1-129 f petition it said to list all the fiancee children and put the name of her daughter with the last name of her biological father last name

The biological father dont want to give the baby to my friend,

the question is this,

1.Is it ok not to join the daughter during the interview because the biological father really dont want to give the baby

2.My friend daughter name is listed on the 1-129F petition, is there any problem that my friend may encounter if she will not bring her daughter during the interview?

i need your advice, thank you very much

She shouldn't have any problems if she'd not intending on bringing anak with her.

I imagine CO will ask why not. Tell her to tell the truth.

The problem is more with the Philippine government than with the US. She will have to deal with the DSWD before the child can get clearance to leave the country. I would personally advise that the child is there for the Interview, I'm not sure what happens if she isn't there, but they talked to all of my children. She probably has to go through a medical at St. Lukes before the Interview as well.

Make sure that the child is listed on the G-325a as part of the I-129f, if she is coming over to the US later. This can become a big issue later, (it appears you lied if she isn't listed).

I can't speak for issues with the DSWD because my children's father was not opposed to them going to the US.

Good Luck

My friend daughter's name was listed in the 1-129F petition, because there is an item there to list all the children of your fiancee.

Does her daughter need also to be present during the interview?or it is ok if she will not bring her daughter because she wants her daughter to follow to join at a later date.

It's a visa interview and is only attended by visa applicants. The daughter isn't applying for a visa, so doesn't need to be there. If asked, simply state the daughter lives with and is staying with her father.

My wife has a son who remained in China with his father. Now he may come here as my stepson if the father will allow. I would have to file for him not my wife. This is no problem as long as he was under age 18 when we married. and still single.

And still young enough to arrive in the US before age 21.

Only the visa applicants can come to the Embassy, your daughter can come on the later date
