Okay, I think I'm really panicking. My husband's interview is in Lagos, Nigeria on Nov. 9th. We are reviewing all of our documents and preparing for the interview. I reviewed the I-130 application, and on C.17 I listed my husband, however, I did not list my son (from a previous relationship). In other words, this is both of our first marriage, and I am the only one with a child from a previous relationship. Did I answer this question incorrectly? I am panicking right now. Please let me know if there will be a problem. As far as I am concerned, my son's information was not requested in the Petition? and my husbnad does not have any children. Help. Please advise. :wacko:

In the Affidavit of Support I indicated that I have 1 dependent child. Also, my tax returns show my son as well. My husband knows about my son and all three of us have been on Skype and have talked many times. He know about my son and everything about him.

It's not going to be a problem.

Did you list your son on the Affidavit of Support?

Thank you for your advise. I pray everything goes well for us. It's been a long journey and 11/23 will be our 1 yr. anniversary. If there was a problem, wouldn't they have addressed it back in the beginning? They approved the paperwork and I complied with the RFE (2 of them) and everything went smoothly. I pray everything will be okay.

Let him be prepared about everything.. They might ask me questions about your son..He should be ready to answer them truthfully...

OKAY... I did not list my children on any of the forms EXCEPT .... AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT this is where they want to see what income you have and who you take care of. At my husbands interview they asked questions about how he contacts my sons and when he actually talks to them. Now if he has kids they should have been listed...Other than that.. get calm and no worries

The World is Yours to Experience....Venture out into it and find Love!

Only the family members of the alien relative are to be listed in C.17. YOU are the US Citizen, so it should have been YOUR name listed as your alien relative's spouse in C17. It's a common error. Don't worry about it.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Thank you for responding. I guess I did not answer correctly, however, they did not say anything? Thank you for your reassurance. :star:
