DECLARATION ON I-130?

[smirky 0]

Hi to all my VJ family. I am here to post and ask if it is okay to attach declaration on I-130 to discuss some matters and the USCIS will be informed beforehand. Below is the declaration we plan to attach. i would like to hear your opinions on these, please help me...

D E C L A R A T I O N

I, Xxxxxxxxx, the petitioner of these two I-130 petitions for my wife and for my son, do hereby understand that my petition will be put under administrative review due to some unintentional honest error made by my father when he filed my N-600 application last April, 2010. I was working in Alaska during that time when my father filed my Certificate of Naturalization application without my prior knowledge so he committed a mistake of declaring me as single when in truth and in fact; I was already married since February 11 of 2009. My father knew nothing about my existing marriage because I hid the truth from him about it because he believed that I was still young to enter such big responsibility, more so, my application for my naturalization was not yet filed and he was worried I might encounter problems later thus he didn’t want me to marry my girlfriend back then, since anytime after I’ll be naturalized, I can file a K1 and K3 visa for both of them very fast and easy. But I made the decision to marry her anyway without my father knowing it last February of 2009. I came home to the Philippines to marry my girlfriend (who is now my wife). From then on up to the time of the filing of the N-600, my marriage with my wife was concealed to my father and he was not aware of it, only now that I need to petition my wife and my son that I need to reveal everything. Being declared as single in my N-600 and now filing I-130 petition for my wife and my son might occur as a red flag to the USCIS, thus I am doing this declaration to discuss my case and be honest as much as possible regarding the discrepancy with regards to my marital status. And I am aware that my petition may be put in certain difficult situation because of this. In connection to this, I am taking the full responsibility for all my actions and I am solely accountable for whatever action I made in the past and I believe that my father and I did not do any material misrepresentation of my case but a lapse in judgment. Hence, I hope that my petition will be judged fairly and with kind understanding.

I declare further under perjury that the above mentioned statements are true and correct.

I feel this declaration was wrote very well and with good intentions. However, I have a few questions to be able to answer your post properly. Have you been confronted witht his error and have been asked to explain it in a declaration, or are you putting the error out in the open to try and resolve it now to procedd with this process correctly?

we are doing the latter. opening it out for the USCIS and laid all the cards down so that sooner or later, we don't need to defend anything but i worry if attaching declaration on I-130 is okay? what do you think?

so you're IR/CR1 case not a K1? anyway, i'm not sure it's necessary to offer the information on your petition beforehand. think it through. and then if you really decide to go ahead with it, it might help to include actions you took (if any) to correct the honest mistake, or why you did not take any until now (time of application)? =)

I feel if you want to do this the legal and honest way and get this off your mind since it seems to be giving you much stress, contact them by phone. It is a sure way to talk to a person and not waiting ans waiting for a response to an email. Explain to them the situation and you are ready to proceed but want to resolve this issue first. if they are not who you need to notify then they will give you the proper contact.

Good luck

Wow you have quite a story. I don't have experience in this area but I hope your honest explaination will be taken into consideration.

I hope so and keeping our finger-crossed to that. Since the petitioner entered here in March 2008 as single and he was only 17 years old and that time his father was already a US citizen so by law his son was automatically a US citizen but not just formalized till July 2010 by filing the N-600 but in year Feb 2009, he married his gf without his father knowledge so when the N-600 was filed, he was declared single so the discrepancy arises from N-600 as being declared single and now filing I-130 as being married...

Do you think this case can be a cause for denial? I really your opinions my VJ family before we pursue the filing of this case..

Thanks. I will appreciate it more if you can give us some advice regarding our situation. Thanks.

I think you shouldn't say all the story. Just by stating something like "an error on my marital status was entered in my Certificate of Naturalization as single but I was already married, since 2009" This way they can't really know if it was you or them that typed the error. I would go for this. If further explanation is requested then you can provide the above reasons.

Honestly, I dont' think it will cause any problems with your petition. you are telling them about the errror so you are not hiding anything. Anyway, this is what I would do.

Good Luck.

oh thank you so much to that. So if i need to lay it them or ask for any further explanation then I should do it but for now, I should not be attaching this declaration or whatsoever?

Right, I don't think you need to send the declaration but DO include a note saying that there was a an error on your certificate. That's it. Like I said if they ask you for more information then you can send what they need.

I think that as long as you're married and a USC before sending the I-130 application it should be fine -not 100% sure though.
