I was told that Its not that simple to go to the local civil registry to have the fathers name. I need to file it at court and need to pay big bucks. 

By the way If I only have our marriage certificate and the photos isn't that enough? Do you think there's a big chance that it will get denied?

We dont have joint ownership of property

We dont have combined financial resources

I cant use our childrens birth cert because of the "wrong advise" to us before that Never use the fathers surname nor put the fathers name on the Birth cert. 

Is there any proof you can suggest that I can add to my proof of a bonafide marriage?

Hi everyone. Another question, Since my husband is the only one that I need to file petition for, the requirements i need to complete is the form I-130 & I-130A?

and i saw that i need a proof of a bonafide marriage. I only have our marriage certificate which is less than a year old and photos of us together is that enough? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for all the help i do really appreciate it. Bless you heart. 

Their age is 10, 4 and 3 years old. 

That was a good suggestion aaron2020. Thank you. Another thing to ask our 3 kids is still under my surname and we didnt put my husbands name on their birth certificate because of the advise that it will affect our petition during that time. (By the way I was petitioned by my mom an LPR im under F2B category and my 3 kids are my derivatives) Do you have any suggestions how can we fix this? Can I also change their surname under their father's surname when I get my citizenship?

Thank you now I understand. Thanks for your time. God bless you.

Thank you for all your replies. But im still confused because when I got here in US im still single all of my govt' id's like greencard,sss,ca id and even my  passport my status is single.(then got married,stayed only a month in Philippines so no time to change my married name and civil status)Do i need to change the civil status on all of my id's here in US?Do I need to report to them that Im married now before I file the I130 or is it ok to declare when I filed the I130? 

Since you said that there is no law in USA to change name when married,its fine to make my name remain the same? 

Hello everyone! I need your help. Im a greencard holder who wants to petition my husband in Ph. We have 3 kids and is living with me here in US since Feb.3,2018.I went back to Ph last Sept 2018 to marry him and got back to US October2018. My status here in US is still single. And I havent change my surname with his surname. I dont know what to put in the form I130. Can anyone help me how to process his petition step by step? Thank you

What category are you in? And what did the letter say?

Preference Category: F2B - UNMARRIED SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF PERMANENT RES.

the letter pertains to my interest in immigrating to the USA. it also says that the visa numbers are not presently available for my use, i will be notified when further consideration can be given to processing my application for immigration.

it'll take 4-5 years till your petition will be current... so give it till 2010 or 2011... and just wait till they'll start to process your documents and thats when you update and inform them that you have a lil angel with you. They are currenty processing march 2005 so shall i say your mom will be receiving stuff from USCIS next year!
