I-129F hes not the biological father but he acknowledge the child

[bestofboston 36]

My wife's sister and her sisters daughter are from the Philippines as well as my wife. My wife's sister came to the USA about 10 years ago without her daughter and then brought her daughter here about 5 years ago when her daughter was 16 y.o. Her daughters father was never in the picture from birth. I don't believe she had to obtain permission from her daughters father because her daughter was raised without the father ever being in the picture. In fact, her daughters last name is the same as her mothers family name. You need to find out what you need to do to obtain permission from the Philippine government. Besides, it will cost you much less than needing to do a DNA test that will prove that your Fiancee is not the father. The last thing you want to do is lie about anything. It will backfire on you. The US gov just cares about honesty. You lie, and get caught, the US gov may give you a lifetime ban to the USA.

Thats what im thinking but my fiance told me if the us finds out that he is not the biological father we will tell the truth. I don't know how to make him realized that I am right. Thank you @bestofboston

Using your probable conception date was your fiancé anywhere near you at the time? Immigration aren't fools if he wasn't in country at that time they won't even need DNA to charge both of you with immigration fraud and ban all involved non USC's from the US. You don't want to get accused of fraud.

Tell your lovely man that if he really wants all of you to the US then don't risk or lying...if the DNA test is done, and turns out you guys lied, then it doesn't matter at that point if you guys tell the truth. The damage is done, you guys already lied, hence you and your son can get a lifetime ban from the US. So unless your dear one is more than excited to immigrate to the Phillipines, don't lie! Find out what needs to be done to have this done the honest way and do it. Might take time, but honesty worth more, even if it is a longer process. You choose.

Another thing to keep in mind, I kind of mentioned this earlier but I want to make sure you understand fully. The child is not entitled to US citizenship. If you somehow succeed in obtaining it he can lose his citizenship (which he was not entitled to) at any time and be deported from the US. This can happen when he is five years old or fifty years old. He is not and never will be entitled to US citizenship by virtue of being born to a US citizen (since he wasn't). Better to be honest now than to have to explain to him in the future why he is being sent back to live in a country he never really knew because mom and dad lied on his paperwork.

Tell your fiance that lying to the US government is NOT a good idea.

It could keep you from coming to the USA.

In the Philippines if you were not married at the time of the child's birth to the child's birth father, you have sole custody and do not need anything more.

He is close minded. I leave everything up to him. Sighs

[nikadelosreyes 0]

I am not married. The problem is he signed in the birth certificate of my child even he is not the biological father. Now the us government will assume the he is a biological child since we are not married yet they will request for paternity test we both know that he is not the father if the government get the result he told me thats the time we tell the truth. I suggest to correct the surname of my child using my surname without middle name but he said no need we just need to tell the truth sighs im tired to repeatedly explain this matter to him

Well you need to keep telling him, no matter how closed minded he is, he should know his own country and how they take to fraud.

Ask him to call a lawyer in US himself so he can hear it from someone other then you, some with legal knowledge.

He needs to realise that this is a matter of if you can be a family or not, no maybes and if you do get accused of fraud you won't be allowed in to US at all.

It will take him 5 minutes to speak to a llawyer.

That birth cert needs to be changed and if you have sent of a petition already you need to find out what you can do. As the damage has already started.

I don't want to make you feel bad at all but I know how much being a family means to us all as we are all there going through it and stubbornness or ego have to go out the window and he needs to do things legally and correct.

[clairegie 265]

Immediately get his name removed from all the child's records and go about the visa process the legal way. If you think about it, this can be used against you since it is an actual crime. Please protect yourself and correct this mistake asap.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

He is being hard because he is trying to be cheap. If the baby is his then he doesn't have to commit to an affidavit of support, he can apply for welfare for the child. The fact the man wants to lie to the US government and commit fraud shows you what kind of soul this man has and is a warning to you that you should run the other way.

[canadian_wife 1,795]

I'm sorry, but your close minded fiancé just created a mess for you. YOU are the one in the interview that will have to deal with these questions. He won't get a chance to speak to them about 'acknowledging" the child but is putting all of this on your shoulders. That, to me, is totally unfair.

He'll only tell the truth if he gets caught? Seriously?

Take control, have the birth certificate change (I assume you can do that? Do you need your fiancé to be there? I don't know) and go into the interview confident that no fraud is taking place.

Good luck

Well, then be prepared to have any visa denied or at worst if you do make it to the US, to be deported back and face a possible lifetime ban (both you and the child).

Your guy is toying with your future (not his); maybe a heart to heart talk is due?
