No the father left after the first child.. Then came back two years later saying he changed and was not on drugs any more... Being that my fiancé wanted the father in the picture she took him back.. Soon he was back to his old ways gambling drinking and doing drugs.. He even spent the money for the birth of the second child on drugs then stole her brothers watch to sell it to pay for the birth.. And mind you he never really interacted with his first child.. My fiancé couldn't even get a job because she couldn't trust him with the kids.. She then caught him for the last time doing shabu and told him to leave.. The infant was 1mo old at that time.. He since hasn't given any support and has not attempted to see the children..

So according to the US Embassy.. since the father is on the birth certificate we will need to get a court order for sole custody does anyone have any experience in this?

That's what I understand from what I have read also.. But my fiancé sister swears that because the children have the fathers name and he accepted paternity on the back of the birth certificate that the US Consulate will not allow the children to enter the US with out a notarized consent from the father or a court order.. And that this is a US embassy rule and not a Philippine rule.. No matter what I will keep doing what ever it takes to work this through..

Thank you.. I was also on the trail of the solo parent approach.. Both children are under 7 years old one is 5 and the other is 8months.. The father has had nothing to do with ether if them and offers no kind of support for the children and is currently a drug user.. He is aware of your engagement but we have not asked yet for a letter of permission as my fiancé dosnt think he will sign it..

Hello, My fiancé has two illegitimate children with her ex boyfriend.. The children have the fathers sur name but they were never married.. I don't think there will be any trouble getting the children's passports because we can prove they were never married.. The question is will the US Consulate or US immigration and customs require a letter from the father giving permission for the child to travel, in order to get the K2 visa and then not have any issues once it's time to actually enter the US?
