Wife's Daughter - "To Follow"

[kennym 275]

Hello all once again...

A little background;

My wife was a K-1 Beneficiary who arrived in the US on Dec 2, 2010.. We married, AOS'd and she now has her green card.. During the Visa Stage, we indicated her daughter would follow. We have sent the request to the Embassy in Bogota and are waiting the Appointment..

Now, I have all the Documents ready for my Wife to take with her to the Visa Appointment, but am wondering, do I need to send any proof of the relationship... I suspect, the Marriage Certificate, and m last years Tx return showing her as my spouse, but do I need to really send anything else?

Your thoughts?

All

Just a few more things to add..

My wife is here in the USA, her daugter had been staying with her biological father since my wife moved to the USA.. The Daughter is 8 years old.. I can understand all the relationship proof needed for my wife at her interview, but now, it's the daughter, so I can't imagine that we would need to have any evidence to prove the on-going relationship for the daughters interview..

I know only a few on here have gone through this since most dont have experince with a child "to follow", but seriously looking for advice and help...

Thanks

Kenny

She has to take everything with her she used to get her paperwork done, also I think you need to show 3 years of tax returns with you, and how old is her daughter? If she is under 18 to 21 then she has to produce her birth certificate, if she was previously married to the daughter's dad, she will need her divorce papers, the Ex's letter of consent to take the child, and the daughter might be likely to get a DNA test, with children, it's more complicated, when I came in to the USA, I took my child along , he was 17 at that time and it took us 3 months from start to finish, we got the permanent residency all the process in 3 months.that was in 2007
