RivaRich Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Will a K-1 visa beneficiary be required to submit a birth certificate for their child if the beneficiary does not have custody of that child and will not be taking that child with them when they immigrate to the United States? Thank You, Richard Link to comment
RivaRich Posted June 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi, While looking over the forms which comprise the P4 packet I noticed a form which says the birth certificate for a beneficiarie's child is required. Will a K-1 visa beneficiary be required to submit a birth certificate for their child if the beneficiary does not have custody of that child and will not be taking that child with them when they immigrate to the United States? Thanks, Richard Link to comment

Thanks, Richard221449[/snapback]This is not needed if the child will not be attending the interview for a visa. Link to comment

Richard221466[/snapback]Just a follow up, if she does not have custody, it can be very difficult for her to get a birth certificate for a child because the child's records exist in the household book of the party who has custody.

SmilingAsia Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 If you didn't file a petition for a K2 and your SO is not bringing her child with her to the US. She doesn't need anything of her child for the visa interview. If you have filed K2 for her child to go with her to America, she needs the papers showing she has the custody of her child. If she doesn't have, she may need a letter from her ex stating he gave up the custody to your SO, and the child also have to go to interview with your SO. Link to comment

I assume you really mean visa application... Link to comment
