Fiancee's Children

[rickgypsum 1]

My Fiancée has 2 children. But at this point in time it was agreed that they will stay with the father and family for at least a few more years. My question is should they still be listed on form DS-156K or not. Will that cause an issue in bringing them here in the future as a IR?

If they are unmarried and under 21, then YES they should be listed even if they are not travelling with her now. There is a provision on the form to indicate whether they will be accompanying/following her or not. If they are not listed now, it will pose problems down the line when you are eventually trying to bring them over.

YES, they should be listed on all forms asking for this information.

Does the form ask to list all children or list only children that currently require a visa?

The form isnt asking if the children are coming ... they are asking if she has any.

Not listing the children is misrepresentation, you have to list them.

I got here in 2007 and my USC hubby petitioned my 2 kids in the Philippines with no problem.List all children even if they will be coming here later.

she will need to list all of them and bring there birth certificate and a copy of each also i think the follow rule is up to a year cutoff and also if they come now the adjustment of status will cost less for you if it is done with the mother

Thank you everyone for your replies. I do now understand the importance of the term “disclosure” as stated by some, and what the repercussions no matter how innocent it may seem to us or how unimportant it is to us at the moment, that it will be a big problem either immediately or somewhere down the road. Again, thanks for your input and for sure they will be listed on the DS156K. Rick
