Child's paper required

[Matylda 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm filing for a CR1. I'm French and my husband is American.

I have a child, in France, 10 years old who lives with me part time and with her dad.

Do I need any paper work (full costidy, or anything else) for my child in order to file the CR1? Or, can I begin filing, then once it is on its way, work here in France for the full costidy and the right for me to leave with my kid for America? I think showing to the French juge that I already began filing for the visa is gonna help instead of trying to obtain full costidy in order to leave before, saying that I will after...

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Mathylda

If your child is going to be moving to the US with you, there is no automatic derivative visa for your child in your case. Since your marriage to your USC husband occurred prior to your child's 18th birthday, your husband can file a petition for your child to receive a CR-2 visa.

I'm certain the Embassy will require paperwork showing that you have the authority to take the child to the US before the Embassy will issue a visa to your child.

I have a child also 10 years old, and since the father did not approve his departure to the US, I had to go in front of the judge (JAF) to obtain the authorization.

The consulate requires at the time of the interview, an approval letter from the other parent SAYING THAT HE ALLOWS HIS CHILD TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY AND TO ESTABLISHED WITH THE MOM IN THE US or a judge decision to be able to deliver the visa k1, I am sure its the same for yours.

hope it helps

good luck!

Yes Matylda, show the judge that you are already in the process and give him a date of establishment, you have to tell him also that you need this decision before your interview in order to be able to get your visa.
