As ceadsearc stated it's up to you but it will more likely work in your favor when they see the baby rather than the paper. It's the paper coming to life (lol) :)

No it's not. It's proof that the woman had sex. It's proof that he signed the birth certificate. Doesn't prove he's the father or prove anything about their relationship.

It doesn't hurt but it's not the BEST evidence. The best evidence is the financial stuff. Guarantee if they just took a birth cert and nothing else they'd be denied. Could be the child was the "fee" for getting the immigrant the GC. Could be the child is just a tool to make a relationship SEEM legit. It's happened before.

Regarding the AOS interview....

We were going to wait for the GC before comingling funds, seems the bank and everyone else wants permanent resident ID to get serious. She does have a few of my credit cards, that's about as financial as it gets right now. I did manage to get her on the utility bill but that was just an online change. What am I going to have to get for the interview to have it go smoothly? Do I need to put a car in her name or something?
