Question for the pro's

[I & G 1]

When I filed my I-130 on my G-325 I did not know what the date was of my first marriage it was a long time ago so I left that blank I did include the date of the divorce and the divorce decree. I have an attorney but he did not include any evidence of an ongoing relationship. My question is should I send in an updated G-325 and evidence now to try and avoid an RFE. Also there are two stepchildren that I have submitted seperate I-130's would I duplicate these documents and send in for all three apps or just on my wife file. The cases are married and are being processed together.

Next question is what if any documents will be needed for the children when it comes to custody or being able to travel. One child's birth cert has no father listed so I dont think that will be a problem. The other we have obtained a document that he can travel with the mother or father from the court but it doesnt state he can immigrate permanantly. Any thoughts would help. Thank you and god bless.

If you send in any further documents at this point, there is no guarentee that it will be matched up with your original petition. I'd just sit tight for now

Not sure about the custody, obviously the child has a father but I'm not sure how it would work if the father is not listed on the birth cert.

Good luck

Not sure about the child with no father listed but the other one will require a notarized letter from the father stating that he gives his permission for the child to permanently relocate to the USA.

Don't send it updated forms now, unfortunately you will have to wait until you receive an RFE before you can send in new documents.

^^ Agree with above posters. Unsolicited documents sent to USCIS are difficult to match up with the original submission.

Do you have any family members or friends that could help you with the date of your first marriage?

I do believe that you will need documentation indicating the father of your stepchild allows the child to move to the US permanently. I have read that a notarized letter from the non-custodial parent was sufficient but perhaps others with more personal experience can answer that for you. Good luck.

It depends on the country and consulate. Canada required only a notarized letter but some require that AND proof of sole custody. In Canada the letter was enough they never even asked me a thing about custody. My ex-husband could have had sole custody for all they knew. I suggest the OP look on the US embassy page of his particular country. Usually country specific information like that can easily be found there.
