DS230 required documents for step children

[huhtaman 0]

Hello All:

I am submitting a DS-230 for my filipina wife with required documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, NBI police certificate, passport copies). I also have to send a DS-230 for our stepchildren age 4 and 8. Do i need any other document besides their birth certificates for the DS-230 ? Will they reference the original marriage certificate in my wife's file ???

Thank you

Hi, not sure how your situation might vary, but I can tell you how our DCF in Mexico was.

For our daughter, besides the 230 and BC,

I sent in a copy of our marriage certificate with each beneficiary's packet - I believe that each child is a seperate file and they probably want it in the file as proof of relationship.

I-864 for you and any joint sponsers for each beneficiary and supporting documents that requires (see 864 instructions), like tax returns, etc

ID; they need to see a copy of the passport bio page or other acceptable photo ID for each beneficiary. Ask them what ID is acceptable if you don't have a passport yet for the kids.

Also you may need to send that signed form with the list of documents to have checked off. I don't know if it's the same for your location
