FILING i-130 FOR BOTH PARENTS

[kingstonjamaica 3]

Hello,

I will be filing N-400 in July and would like to bring my parents here next year.

My problem is that Mom Dad have lived together for over 40 years and have never been married.

His name is not on my Birth Certificate. (wasn't a necessity 40 yeary ago)

Should i go ahead and put his name on the Birth Certificate now? (It's a process that takes a little time in Jamaica)

Should Mom and Dad get married before i start to file their I-130?

What can i use to prove that we have live in the same home and that my Mom and Dad still live together?

Your response is greatly appreciated

yes you should do it now if you want the application to be accepted by USCIS

Should Mom and Dad get married before i start to file their I-130?

your mom/ dad not being married have no effect on the case. They can get married if they want to but not for immigration

What can i use to prove that we have live in the same home and that my Mom and Dad still live together?

you dont need to do this when they are your biological parents

Your response is greatly appreciated

i forgot to add some more info. to the above question.

you can use info like school / church / medical / census records. Photos will be a good alternate proof of the parent-child relationship. Also you can submit affidavits - sworn written statements proving the parental relationship.

keep in mind that USCIS OR THE US CONSULATE will require a blood test if his name is not on your birth certificate or added later. More likely it will be requested at the us consulate level. In most instances illegitimate children can gain/request immigration benefits almost as easily as those born in wedlock so your dad will be ok. your mom will get processed/completed before him. i'll say expect your dad to be in the U.S. early 2012 due to the DNA rest.

hope there will me other views
