Question # 17 on form I-130

[vemdino 0]

Hello

I am preparing to file a petition for my husband as an LPR and I am trying to have everything correct as possible. I have a question about question #17 (List husband/wife and all children of relative) on the form I-130. We had a baby (out of wedlock), but unfortunately, he died an hour after birth due to known congenital problems. Should I fill out #17 as usual like our baby's date and country of birth normally? Or do I have to write deceased on both fields?

I hope this will be answered. Thank you! This forum community is very helpful.

Hello,

I think that you should list your child by name and date of birth. Under the current address for child, you should write deceased and the date your child passed (I guess the same date as the birth date). It might be helpful in showing your bonafide relationship and subsequent marriage to your husband to show the birth and death certificate, particularly if your husband's name is listed as the child's father.

Best wishes!

Not a bad idea, but the question is asked in the present tense, so the other perfectly acceptable option is not to mention a deceased child. I think I would opt to list them as described above though.
