Hi VJ Family,

My step daughter's case has made it to NVC and we are excited about how things are moving. My wife and I want to know whether a parental consent letter is needed by NVC for the child to migrate to the USA. The mother (my wife) is here and we want to know if the bio father must write a letter for the child to leave the country.

Is his name on the BC, if yes then he will have to give permission. Did you'll list the fathers name on the application, if yes, then there is the chance they will request it.

Yes. It must state that he gives permission for the child to travel to the USA to reside permanently. I'd also recommend checking in your regional forum, as some consulates are a little quirky about it.
