I am NOT an attorney, and I can only tell you our experience.  My filipina fiancee was never married. She has two children with her ex. Since they were not married the children are considered illegitimate. I suggest you look up Philippine family law Article 176 that talks about the mother's rights associated with illegitimate children.  Secondly, they will need Philippine Passports, If they are using the father's surname, you need to refer to Philippine Republic Act 9255 that indicates what is necessary to use the father surname, e.g. for passports.  

 

The USEM "may" ask for a letter of consent from the father. The letter must be notarized. This is a USEM request, not a Philippine government requirement.  

 

My fiancee was able to get the children their passports, and she was able to get a letter of consent. We are still awaiting our NOA2.

NO!   ..... single MOTHERS have sole custody of the children.   You need NOTHING from the "father".

 

Do be aware that you need to complete the visa process before the one year anniversary of your visa being ISSUED.  This means your daughter's visa MUST BE ISSUED BEFORE THAT DATE.   You have a few months, still but do be aware.

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!

USEM requires NOTHING... no letter of consent is needed from the father.   You may have a letter but USEM won't care about it.

While I appreciate your input, there are instances whereby the USEM did ask for this letter. It is discretionary, not every CO ask. As I stated, not a PI requirement. As I understand there are sometimes internal policies that can change over time. We are erring on the safe side. They may ask, they may not. But if they do we are prepared.

Would a Solo Parent ID from DSWD help in this case, or are they only used for benefits?

Sole parent ID used for what?    Your timeline and profile do not indicate the visa you are chasing.     A CENOMAR shows the mother to be single and is a required document by the embassy.  ;)

 

Embassy has no requirement of a consent letter from the father, the embassy recognizes Philippine law in this matter..    If never married to the father:

 

Article 176 of the Family Code of the Philippines

 

.. exception being annulments where there are court documents showing other custody.

Discretionary?    Embassy recognizes Philippine law in regards to custody of the child.   Was you fiancee married to the father at one time, or is the child illegitimate? 

 

Of course there is no harm in bringing another piece of paper to the interview.

"By law and jurisprudence, the mother of an illegitimate child has sole parental authority and is entitled to keep the child in her company.  This rule continues to apply even when the father of the child acknowledges filiation (paternity), although the court may order the father to provide support as a result of the acknowledgment, but not custody."

Consulate requirements is one thing, but CBP will likely ask for something when a child accompanies a single parent. That is why I suggested the Solo Parent ID.
