DS-230 / Step Children / Marriage Certificate?

[blueclown 0]

Guys, just a quick question. I am filling out the ds-230 for my 2 step children. As the petitioner, do I need to provide a certified copy of my marriage certificate? birth certificate? Also, my husband can sign for them since they are both minors, correct?

I have a letter from the mother, as well, stating her approval of them living in the US with their father. But since they don't fall into either of the 2 categories:

Applicants in the following visa categories are required to provide 1) an original or certified copy of their Petitioner’s birth certificate and 2) original or certified copy of their Petitioner’s marriage certificate from the Petitioner’s current and all previous marriages.

* Parent of a U.S. Citizen who is at least 21 years old (IR-5)

* Brothers and sisters of United States citizens (F4)

I don't need my (petitioner) birth certificate and marriage certificate, correct?

My husband filed petition for my 2 minor kids. I included certified copies of my hubby's(petitioner) Birth certificate, divorce decree and our marriage certificate.

I'm about to send in the DS230 for my two steps.

Do they need the beneficiary's birth certificates?

The marriage certificate has to be a certified copy?

Yes the benefeciarie's birth certificate is needed. If you can not provide the original copy of documents then the certified copies will do.

You will need to send marriage certificate as that proves the step parent relationship. Your husband can sign for them as they are minors make sure he puts father beside his signature.
