Guest ShaQuaNew Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 My fiance has a 14 yo child. Are there any specific hurdles or difficulties that we can expect? Naturally, we want her daughter's visa to be issused at the same time. Thanks J & L Link to comment
Guest Gene Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Make sure you have documents of custody and I have heard of others who were asked for proof of permission from the father. We were not asked to provide any of these, but we had it just in case. Link to comment
frank1538 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 At this stage, you just want to make sure that the daughter was shown on the I-129F. There is a difference of opinion whether a G-325a should also be provided. I provided a separate G-325a for each of Jingwen's two kids. Link to comment
Trigg Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 It's pretty simple. Just be sure you include the child. Usualy you only need the divorce decree stating that she has custody. Link to comment
LeeFisher3 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Also when Packet 3 arrives you will need to be sure to send a DS-230 Part 1 and Form 169 for each. If for some reason they don't send 2 copies of each make copies. Link to comment
BuffaloPaul Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 And further along - two copies of the 134. Just had my two copies notarized today Link to comment
Trigg Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Oooooooo, Paul, i only sent in one I-134. Will I have to give the visa back??? Link to comment
Guest Gene Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Oooooooo, Paul, i only sent in one I-134. Will I have to give the visa back??? They didn't even ask for ours But, I did have two just in case Link to comment
Yuanyang Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 It's pretty simple. Just be sure you include the child. Usualy you only need the divorce decree stating that she has custody.The PRC and the USA are both signatures to an international treaty effective November, 2004 that requires the non-custodial parent's permission for the child to leave the country with the other parent. So get a notarized document from the X.If you wish I'll provide you with the wording we have. Link to comment
BuffaloPaul Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Oooooooo, Paul, i only sent in one I-134. Will I have to give the visa back???Just following the directions Trigg. Based on the scholastic achievements of your step-child, I would say yes you have to give her back. Your spelling is a bad influence on her Link to comment
Guest ShaQuaNew Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Lan is a widow, so she has sole custody of her daughter. I indicated her daughter on the I-129F, and also included a copy of her birth certificate accompanied by a certified English translation. I didn't see any requirement to complete a G-325A for her, so did not fill one out with the package. They only requested photos of the petitioner and beneficiary, but I also included a photo of the daughter. It's great to hear from those of you who are going through this.... Thanks...

ckhang Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Since we are on this step-children topic, I have a question for whoever that can answer. Less say that your fiance or wife has not been married before but have a child with her Ex-boy, but the Ex-boy abandon the child and mother, dont give a craps about them since the child was born, do you/faince/wife go to the court in china to get full custody paper/form or where to get form?

bubbafred10 Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 ckhang - Get it from the Provincial Court that she has full "ownership" custody of the child. The Court may request the "deadbeat" dad to sign release of obligation, but of course deadbeat is nowhere to be found. Except if deadbeat hears that child is going to US, then deadbeat may ask for ransom, i.e. request payment to give permission for child to go to US. It makes no difference if deadbeat never contributed a cent to the raising of the child. Believe it or not, that's how it is in China if there was marriage. But on this case, unmarried situation, I don't know. Better get that paper pronto quickly. Link to comment

She has a custody decree from a court giving her full custody and has a notarized statement from the childs father allowing her to take the child out of China. Link to comment
