HELP !!!

[MiltonAnaya 7]

I have a daughter with my fiance, she is 8 months old now. I have been with him for 2years .

Today I found out that since he isn't on the birth certificate , the person that interviews us will want proof that she is his daughter.

The reason he isn't on the birth certificate is because she was born in the U.S. and since he wasn't present , they refused to put his name.

Is there anything I can do

DNA test. Some consulates require it to prove family relationships. DNA tests will prove 100% if your fiance is your daughters father

^{Because your daughter is a USC and not immigrating they may not care much if he is the bio dad. Don't waste money you may not have to}

Hello there

I had the same situation as you. My son was born in the US. Yes your right if the father is not present they will not put his name on the birth certificate. It's not really a big deal since your daughter is already a US citizen so that won't make a diffrence to your petition. However if you do want to change the name like we did, all you have to do is get the forms from the hospital your daughter was born post it off to the dad and then what he needs to do is go to the notary republic in the country he is in and get it signed nd stamped. They will require some sort of proof when he sends the form back to you. We used my sons dads copy of his drivers licence and that was sufficient enough. Then when you get the forms take it to your nearest vital records burea in the state you live and they will change the name and issue you a new birth certificate with the fathers name on it. This will take about 3 weeks to process . If you need more info feel free to ask. Mine worked just fine that way. Good luck with it.

DNA test. And don't worry because sometimes even if the dad's name is on the birth certificate the still ask for a DNA test.

The child is here and a USC , The child isn't petitioning the father so no need to show relationship. The child is almost a non issue in this case. What reason should the OP pay so much money for DNA unless the embassy asks for it ? Do you like seeing other people waste money ??

This is not always true, in my case they made our daughter an issue when they asked if we had any children together then asked for her bc showing father's name. When I explained to CO the process we had to take to have him added and that the updated bc was not available yet. We were told hopefully it would be available for a second interview and have since been told by the Embassy that they would like us to do a DNA test to expedite the process.

However, OP do not waste money on a DNA test now because it WILL NOT be excepted by the Embassy. There is a special procedure that the facilities the Embassy will except results from (see list on website) and without a letter from the Embassy requesting the test they will not processes the results in the manor excepted by the Embassy.

So OP all you can do is have the BC with dad added or make sure you can prove relationship without the child being a factor. Best of luck to you.
