Hello All,

My wife just had an emergency interview at HCMC on 10/6/21.  

Consulate interview did not last that long, asked a few questions then handed my wife a 221(g) Blue form asking for 15 years of history (did not keep passport).

Siblings name, and birthdate

15 years of residence information

15 years of employment history

15 years of traveling history (visited other countries)

Have ever held another passport

child name, and birthdate

All spouses current and previous with birthdate

5 years of phone numbers

Social Media account 5 years

Phone number used past 5 years

name, visa type, and birthdate

Do we simply just provide the answers for these questions? 

Should we include a letter describing when our relationship start until present? 

My wife and I fear if we did not provide sufficient information, our visa will be denied.  

Previously on the i-130 and the ds-260 form, we only included 5 years of history.

My wife traveled to Russia for tourism purposes and overstayed for 10 months from 05/10 - 03/11 (do we need a police certificate)?

I have confirmed with the civil document, only if she ever lived in another country more than 12 months or currently reside in another country more than 6 month then we will need to provide a police certificate from that country.

Anyone can provide insight to this matter is greatly appreciated.

We have read a lot of people stating the CO does not believe our relationship hence the extended background check.

Thank you for the reply.

So if the biological parent will not sign any consent, the only way is to get Full Custody by Law.  

Obviously, I did not have this prepare submitting it with my I-130.  

My Next Question:

If I can get a court order full custody, can I bring it at the time of consular interview?

If I cannot get consent or the full custody by law.  I will not be able to immigrate my stepchild to United States?

Hello All,

I'm new to the forums and find most of the information here very helpful, however I haven't found answers to a question that I'm really looking for.

I'm a US citizen, petitioning for my Wife and Step Daughter.  

My wife and her ex husband divorced 5 months before we got married back in 2019.  They had a daughter together(She is now 9 years old), and I want to immigrate her over here to the states.  However my wife and I had heard a lot of rumors, consulate interview will want to ask for (Letter approval) of the stepchild's biological parents.  

Example: 
My Step Daughter needs a written consent that her dad needs to approve/allow her to immigrate to the states with her mother (My wife).  Is this True?

My wife (Vietnam National) has the divorce decree, and her ex-husband was suppose to pay child support every month but has not paid a single dime towards the child's living expense (In fact, I have been taking care both my wife and my step daughter).  Has anyone gone through a similar situation and would like to shed some lights?

Do Consulate Interview really want a Written Consent from the other biological parent, in order for them to get approved for a IR2 Visa?

Thank you in advance for reading and answering my question.
