DS-230 Child BC Philippines

[Greg and Yasmin 0]

Hello to all,

After 356 days since filing for my wife and sons I-130 petition, they were approved on Sept. 15, 2008. I have two questions. The first is about the form DS-230 regarding my Filipino wife and step-son, and this is...

My step-son's biological father is not listed on his NSO birth certificate. N/A is shown where the father is supposed to be, but he was recently issued a Passport from the DFA and they accepted this birth certificate as did USCIS to approve his I-130 petition. Is anyone aware if this will be an issue at the embassy during my wife's and son's interview? My son is 3 years old, and my wife and I have a biological daughter (7 months) who already has her citizenship as we were all there at the U.S Embassy on Sept. 3, 2008 for the legitimacy of our marriage and proving to be both her biological parents.

The second is, because I filed an I-130 for each my wife and son do I need to fill out all the forms for both of them? And include each other as an immediate relative traveling to the USA on each others forms? This is so convoluted, errr!

We are currently awaiting our invoice number from the NVC to begin this process of obtaining their (wife and son) visa, but just ensuring we have all our i's dotted and t's crossed.

Thanks for your feedback,

Call NVC tomorrow and get your number for payment online, then do your payments - the rest of the questions can be answered by people that have that experience but you may want to go ahead and post in the sub thread for the phil.
