K1 visa and child of annulled marriage (Philippines)

[aaron9350 0]

Hello, I am soon to submit my K1 visa for my fiancée to come to the US but wanted to see if anyone knows if a child of an annulment needs paperwork for the K1 visa or the interview as "permission" to come to the US permanently? I know that one of her children was from a relationship where she never got married and doesn't need any paperwork other than birth certificate/passport but the youngest child is 4 and was from a marriage that was just annulled. Is there paperwork needed and if so what would it be? Any help is appreciated

Marriage annulment has nothing to do with the fact that kid has a father. Would think you would need whatever docs are normally needed (father's permission)

I actually have the same question in mind. On my annulment petition, I requested sole custody and my kids haven't see their father for over 10 yeatrs, I don't even know where he is. There ia no way I can get an authorization to travel if this ia necessary.

If you have sole custody, then you don't need anything from the father. > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/560568-notice-of-intent-to-deny-please-help/

Ok, wasn't sure if any custody or permission letters were required for the K1 regarding the children.

A mother has sole custody of a child in the Philippines unless there are court documents stating otherwise. You need nothing from the father(s).

Make sure to list the children on the I-129F

Ok thanks, yes the children are on the I-129F and also each are on a I-130 (K2) as this website says to http://dennyeyberg.wix.com/filipino-am-visa#!filing-the-petition/c30m

I-130??????????? HUH? What I-130? You don't use the I-130 with a K-2 if you are petitioning the children during the K-1 process

I just verified from your link that there is no mention of using the I-130 for the processing of a K-2 on that link. You add children to your 129F and they become K-2's. Now you would only add them if they are going to travel together with the mother when she departs for the USA or if they are going to follow her, meaning they may come at a later date AFTER the mother arrives in the USA BUT only within a year of their mother otherwise you would use the I-130.

I can see where you are confused. In basic terms, you use the I-129 now if you want to bring the children with mom. If you prefer that the travel in a few years from now then you would file the I-130.

Ok thank you. I have them on the I-129 and We have birth certificates and passports for the 2 children. Anything else needed for the K1 visa? Thanks again.

[cristina16 81]

You don't need to submit I130 and kids docs with I129f. Just include them on the i129f form. Birth cert, etc are meeded during their interview in manila for the K2 Visa. You will use I130 during AOS.

I mean include their names on the I129f, no docs needed for the kids now.

There is a lot more (in the way of documents) and too much to go into here but that is why Hank and I have developed websites to answer that one question "What is needed" and the other is "What is next". Which you have been using mine as you referenced it early in one of your questions. Just stay on track and follow what's in the guides. For the 129f that is all the documents that is needed for the children to complete the I-129f. Be sure to check and recheck your documents before you send them on as a mistake will delay the processing till it is addressed.

BTW, the reason we created the websites, in addition to guiding you through the process but it was intended to be specific to the Philippines process where the one that is here in VJ is generic so that it could help anyone, from whatever country they were processing through. The I-129f is one document that is pretty true no matter what country, but after approval you will need to be aware of the steps for USEM (United States Embassy Manila) and that is where everything is centered for the processing that is specific to USEM. Hence the guides that I suggested.

Good luck and keep asking questions when there is a doubt.

With the K-1 Fiancee visa, you start out by petitioning your fiancee, plus any children (simply by listing them on the I-129F) once the petition is approved the file will move to NVC for sorting and assigning the MNL #, then the case file is forwarded to the embassy in Manila where you will be making a visa fee payment for EACH person listed on the I-129F. The K-1 visa is down, dirty, simple for petitioning the children along with your fiancee.

NO I-130 process. BTW your fiancee's children are not your relatives.. they are future step-children... future.

No I-130 is needed for AOS either, not for a K-1 or K-2 adjuster.
