Birth certificate... What t0 do?

[Angelina2012 0]

Hello! I am new here. I need help. I am petitioned by my husband who is a USC. He also applied for cr2 visa for my daughter. A couple of years back, I was working in Middle East. I delivered my second child there from my live in partner now deceased. Inorder for us to be able to travel that time, we have to get my daughter a passport. Unfortunately, my partner used fake documents thus changing his surname so that he can be applied by his aunt as adopted son to be able to go to Middle East. Because of this, when my daughter needed to apply for the passport, she also acquired her father's fake surname. After 2 years of staying there, we have decided to go back to Philippines and since my partner knew someone who can fix a birth certificate in the philippines for my daughter they were able to do it. By passing a late registration that made it like My daughter was born in the Philippines through midwife. The papers was registered in the city hall and eventually applied for a late registration in nso which made the documents legit. After a few years I applied a passport for my daughter. The old passport which has the fake surname is already expired and was not renewed at all. My daughter have used her real surname in everything from school to the application of CR2.

My question is:

1.) is there a way that the US embassy would know about this even if I have legit NSO birth certificate for my daughter?

2.) would they have the access to know the dates of my ins and outs of the country because there is no stamp on my old passports that I went back home to make the delivery of my daughter in the Philippines, because truthfully, I delivered her in the Middle East?

3.) if so, what should I do? Can I tell the whole story about what happened? These things happened a couple of years before i met my husband who is petitioning us.

4.) what could be the outcome of this? Will my daughter be unable to come with me? Will they deny her of a visa? Will it also affect my application and be denied of A visa as well?

Anyone who have any idea or knowledge with regards to this matter, kindly help me. Our interview date is 3 weeks from now.

1. Your birth cert for your daughter is not legit because it is based on a lie, ie that she was born ina different country that she was.

2. YOu are required to list everywhere you lived, even if you were there illegally. Do not lie to US immigration, because if they find out (and they likely will), you can have a lifetime ban after you.

3. Yes, I would tell the truth, explain that it was her father who did this and who had the wrong name not you. What would be best, if possible, is to fix the NSO birth cert to show her real place of birth.

4. Your daughter is still your daughter. She is still elligible for a visa if you get one, but you need to fix this. If you lie about all of this then yes, you may be denied for miss-representation. If not, there may be a delay while you fix the documents, and worst comes to worst they may ask for a DNA test to prove your daughter is yours, but you can still get visas.

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I don't know how to start amending this. Securing a police clearance from that country is extremely difficult already since I am no longer a resident of it what more if the embassy will require some documents to prove that my daughter was born there. And with the papers that has been through the uscis and NVC, if I need to amend it before our interview, she has to go through it all again. And by what? Just for her to use a fake last name which the name of her father that was stated there doesn't exist under the Philippine statistics. My initial plan was to get on with it but f they ask me regarding that then that's the time that I will lay all my cards. Do you think that, that will still be okay to do or should I be forthright to them at once during the interview without them asking me about it yet? This is definitely will be a big work for me because everything has to change, from the birth certificate to renewing f her old passport with the fake name, to her school documents down to the processing of her petition. Please lead me Lord to the right path. Please. Anyone in the Philippines, who had the same situation or have any idea about it please share your thoughts on this.
