I NEED SOME HELP UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS THE U.S. EMBASSY IS REALLY WANTING FROM ME AS FAR AS PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ME AND MY STEP-DAUGHTERS. I AM A U.S. CITIZEN MARRIED TO A NIGERIAN AND WE LIVE IN THE U.S. I AM THE ONE PETITIONING FOR THE GIRLS TO COME AND WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THE STEPS. MY HUSBAND AND THE GIRLS ALREADY HAD THEIR DNA COMPLETED AND ALL OF THE PAPERWORK THEY REQUESTED HAS BEEN TURNED IN. THE GIRLS LIVE IN NIGERIA WITH THEIR GRANDPARENTS AT THE PRESENT TIME AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE EMBASSY CALLED MY FATHER IN LAW AND SAID MAKE SURE WHEN YOU COME FOR THE FINAL INTERVIEW YOU BRING PROOF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE GIRLS AND THEIR STEP-MOTHER. WHAT TYPE OF PROOF DO THEY WANT? I HAVE NOT BEEN TO NIGERIA YET TO SEE THEM FACE TO FACE BUT WE TALK EVERY WEEK ON THE PHONE TO EACH OTHER AND MOST IMPORTANT PF ALL MY HUSBAND HAS ALREADY PROVED HE IS THEIR FATHER WITH THE DNA.

GOD BLESS

USCIS says http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=51ea3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=51ea3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

If you are the...Step-parent you must also submit...
  • A copy of your step-child’s birth certificate issued by civil authorities

  • A copy of your civil marriage certificate to your step-child’s biological parent

  • Proof of the legal termination of all previous marriages for you and/or the biological parent (divorce decree, death certificate, annulment decree)


And your marriage date would have to be before their 18th birthday for you to be the step-parent and thus petition for them as immediate relatives. So the marriage license and birth certificates establish if they are considered you children for immigration benefits.

Who is Considered to be a "Child" in the Immigration Process?

A step-child, as long as the marriage creating the step-relationship occurred before the child turned 18

So maybe that's what they need.

Thanks for the comments. I have done and sent everything that was mentioned, so the only other thing I can think of is to send proof that we have communication on a regular basis with the girls and that my husband and I have our bills, mortgage and etc together.

God Bless
