P4 received

My SO received Packet 4 and in it is a form GIV-24. I called my lawyer and he said she probably received the wrong forms. Since my SO is sleeping, I won't wake her up. Can anyone confirm this is a valid form for Packet 4? Thanks to all members for their great support.

She should have the GIV-24, DS 156 and DS157 in English and Chinese.

Thanks Mike. Guess I will have to do a lot of digging for names/birthdates/step brothers/sisters.. etc. I hadn't planned on this one.

It might be helpful to read earlier threads about the GIV-24. Here is an example.

I made up a table within an email and sent all my needed family information to her that way.

The GIV-24 does not come in a English and Chinese version; the one version you get has both combined on the form.

 

The DS-156 and DS-157 come in an English version and a Chinese version. You are supposed to provide two copies of each, which makes a total of 8.

 

Here's the K1 P4 list:

Thanks again Mike. There may be several unknowns on the names/dates/locations. My step father didn't have a good relationship with his children, thus little is known about them. What happens if I don't list them? How will they know he has children? My step-father passed away in 2003 so getting this information is going to be next to impossible.

List them, don't omit them. put "Unknown" if this is the truth where needed.

You can only list names you actually know. For instance if you know your step-father had 3 children but don't know even their first names, then I don't know how you can do anything but ignore them. On the other hand, if you know he had a son named Bill and that's all you know, then you can list Bill as a step-brother and say unknown as to anything else. In the line farthest to the right I would say Unknown since YEAR.

How about: Child Name Unknown, or some variation.

 

I would still list 'someone' if I know they meet the requirement for a question.

[GaryandSherry]

Thanks to all who replied. I am doing research on my step father and hopefully will find the information I need. I appreciate all these great suggestions.

[Lowen/Zhang]

Gary you might want to check obituary for your step-father regarding any children he might have had. You might be lucky and even have listed a city or state they lived in at the time. Just a thought from my genealogy work.
