I am married 2001 and my wife was raped 2003 and delivered a child 2004.

Though I was the one that take cares of the pregnany bcos d father was unknown

Pls what evidence can I submit to convince NVc and the US embassy that the child is my stepchild bcos I am responsible for her upkeeping since the pregrenancy,on the birth certificate my name was registered on it as the father

.

2.Do I write NVC or Us embassy to state it that my wife was rape?

3.Can my wife sworn affidavit or explain to d cosular on the interview date?

4Can I sworn affidavit in US to prove my case and I love the child

5 What can I use as an evidence to prove this case

[Minya's wife 24]

what are you trying to pove? your I-130 was for your wife and her child, right? that was approved and now you're waiting for the interview?

your wife can take proof with her that you're not the father but willing to take care of the child to her interview...but I'm not sure what else you're trying to prove. If the child was on the I-130 petition, then he can also receive a visa if his mother does.

I dont know exactly what you are proving either. It would be no different that if she got pregnant by some guy she was dating or previous husband......(just examples). They dont need to know that she was raped....you are named as the father on the birth certificate...doesnt matter.

US Embassy may request for DNA since i am the one that file for the mother and child

OP, You don't need to post a question more than once. Multiple forums only leads to confusion.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

You are married and filing for your wife and her children to come be with you. Normally there shouldn't be a question because the children are hers. When they are more apt to ask is when a man is bringing children because in some high fraud countries men seem to have children appear right about when they file. You need not say anything about the father of the child unless asked. If asked be honest. It is one thing not tp speak on a subject it is another to tell a lie or not give the truth in any form

Good luck

That is possible...but i wouldnt divulge the info unless asked about it. My first reaction was that this was a trolling attempt. I have other feelings on this, but i will keep them to myself as i know they would violate the terms of service here. All you can do is go forward with the interview...you have visited her since u got married right? In 2003 and later right? As long as you can show an ongoing marital relationship at the interview...there should be no reason to question the child.

I believe you are nigeria, I wonder how the embassy would believe my wife bcos she is a boern-again christian at the time of the incident and I do not suport abortion though we love each other so much,I have another child with her who is my own bilogical daughter and she is 1 year 9 months.So your advice is that she should not say nothing untill if they ask her she can not say i am not the father?

and Does that look good/Can she hold an affidavit should they ask 4 prove bcos it was not reported to the police as you know how nigeria police are and bcos of the mess she gonna face at the police station

I would prepare an notarized statement that you are aware of the possiblility that the child may not be yours genetically, that your wife was attacked and conceived at that time but that you have never tested the child because you consider it yours as a product of the marriage. Include your contact numbers if you are not going to be with your wife at the interview. Send it to your wife but tell her NOT to bring anything up unless they ask questions. If they don't ask anything then it is fine. If they ask she can present this document. Who is listed as the father on the birth certificate ? Is there any chance that the child is yours ? NIgeria being the country it is you have to be very careful about not making false statements or presenting false papers.

I have carried out DNA test on my own without the knowledge of the immigration and the child is not mine as known before....

I think a notarized statement is going to be good for her to present at the embassy,

Wait a minutes......Should the embassy asked her first to do DNA and I already know the child is mine,Can she then present my notarized letter to the consular and explained that she was raped?Can that look good in the cosular eyes .You know nigerian we have to be careful in doing anything

I can't speak for Nigerians but just thought I'd pose the question of whether there was a police report or not.

I don't know how such cases are handled or even if reporting is a custom.

The CO should know the local customs, but may ask if it was reported.

There is no need for you to be hard on yourself about this case, though I realize that the thought of going to Lagos embassy and having a not perfect situation is hard enough as they can play any card and doubt every truth. No matter what, we will still go to the embassy and demands what rightfully belong to us and fear not because we are faithful people. The perfection / imperfection of your case do not guarantee approval either (at least at Lagos embassy) we have had cases that are perfect that are blatantly refused while the scamers got approved. It is not a one way traffic, and of all -- God has the last say.

In your case, go back and read the I-130 instructions and you will find this:

8. Stepparent/Stepchild: If your petition is based on a stepparent-stepchild relationship, you must file your petition with a copy of the marriage certificate of the stepparent to the child's natural parent showing that the marriage occurred before the child's 18th birthday, copies of documents showing that any prior marriages were legally terminated and a copy of the stepchild's birth certificate.

and

D. Affidavits: Written statements sworn to or affirmed by two persons who were living at the time and who have personal knowledge of the event you are trying to prove. For example, the date and place of birth, marriage or death. The person making the affidavit does not have to be a U.S. citizen. Each affidavit should contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name, address, date and place of birth, and his or her relationship to you, if any, full information concerning the event, and complete details explaining how the person acquired knowledge of the event.

About DNA concern and your name on the birth cert:

The child is also eligible for the visa since she is your wife's, any DNA test will proof that the child is your wife's and that you are not the father. And you are entitled to have your step child immigrate with your wife. Rape or no rape is not a big deal, at least for this case. You can get the affidavit in case your wife is questioned about the paternity and accused of trying to bring in a child from another marriage with your name as the last name. There will only be issues if the child is not for you or your wife's and a proper adoption document is not available.

You can submit the affidavit when you get to the embassy or with NVC before you get your interview date if you don't have that yet that way they will have all the information beforehand and not deny her without asking questions. In addition, if there is any police report like someone suggested (despite the imperfect structure in Nigeria, you will be surprised that she can get this if she reported the incident at the time) you should get it and add it with the affidavits, IF NOT i do not think the embassy will be too surprised (just make sure you did not get a false police report if there was not a formal report at the time of the incident). With that being said, I want you to know that this information do not substitute for a legal advice and it does not predict the outcome of your application. Your case is unique and I wish you the best. Please stop bothering yourself as this will not solve the problem, everyone here has issues as well and no matter how much you bother we cannot solve your problem.

if DNA is required it will be part of the medical, the consular will not meet her until after the medical therefore she will have to do DNA to prove both maternity and paternity. You should also do an affidavit to prove that you were aware that she was raped and that the event produce the child and you send it to her. It is left for the consular to believe the story or not believe especially if there is no police report, it is your words vs their opinions. But the bottom line is that this is your step child and my intuition is telling me that except if your wife is not the mother this should not be as hard as you thought. The last name can be explained and it is not a big deal, people can change their name to whatever they want (though embassy may not give u that right as a Nigerian since they presume everyone to be scamers until proven otherwise)
