Amended Birth certificates andan arrest

[RubysMom 4]

My son's stepchildren's birth certificated state "amended" due to Correcting the mother;s name from her nickname Rubylyn to her legal name Ma.Ruby, and one because she adopted her niece.  Will that be a problem for the I 130's or interview in Manila? She also was arrested for selling drugs (it was a set up, long story they wanted money and she said no) She was found innocent or judge said no case! Her NBR or what ever that police check is came back clean.

Sorry but who adopted who in this serenio?

the person who is coming?

and the birth certificate has a mother's name who is the aunt?

@ children's BCs have My daughter in law's name as Rubylyn her nickname which were amended to Ma. Ruby,  The 3rd child is her niece {now daughter} so when the new BC after adoption was issued, it of course says amended,

Each of the birth certificates are going to need to be correct.

You can expect details of the adoption to be needed, maybe not if the birth certificate has been corrected.  But in cases I've seen a certificate of adoption or similar was required.

A certified copy of the acquittal of the charges will also be needed for the interview.

 

Based on your other posts, the daughter-in-law's being threatened isn't going to be cause for an expedite.

So If they are all corrected, but they say amended, will they ask about why they are amended? Has anyone ever used a corrected BC that said amended?  Also there is nothing on the I 130 that asks about arrests for the her, but I believe there is that question when she files for interview. She has all her papers showing she was vindicated and will take them with her.  At what age do kids have to have their own interview?

All immigration visa beneficiaries (children included) need to have an interview. No exceptions.

When she completes DS-260 it asks about criminal history. You have to disclose all arrest history regardless of outcomes. There was a case before they did not disclose shoplifting arrest cause they felt case was dropped and it was denied. 

 

All amended birth certificates will be questioned to prove if it was not amended for immigration benefits. 

 

In the case of adoption, are the child's biological parents still living? Adoption of relatives can be considered performed for immigration benefit. What is the plan if that child will not be able to immigrate?

 

All children are expected to be present at the interview.

Do they have their own interview or with Mom? Their ages by that time will be 8-18

It will be determined by the IO. How old is the adopted child? 

[RubysMom 4]

17 but will be 18 by the time of interview

So is a DS 260 filled out for each child and will they schedule Interviews together. It is an expensive trip if all six are scheduled on seperate days.

A DS-260 is required for each as is a medical.   Expect 3 or more days in Manila.    They can all be scheduled together.

I am so sorry to be a PITA but so many questions.  On both the I 130 and the DS 260 do you leave questions that do not apply blank, such as questions about a spouse for childrens papers?
