If her son was a child born from their marriage she wouldn't even need those forms, only his american passport.

Not all the time. USC parents can automatically pass on citizenship to biological children only under certain criteria. Residency is one - the USC must have lived in the US for at least 5 years, 2 years of which have to be after the age of 14, and must be able to prove it.

Like my husband, he was born on US soil but grew up in the Philippines. That makes him a USC by birth, but our child is not qualified for a CRBA or a US passport because my husband hasn't fulfilled the requirements for residency.

I'm getting ready to submit the IV packet for my wife and step-daughter. I haven't paid the IV fee yet, but we should be getting that invoiced sometime in the coming week. Here's what I have ready to send.

For my wife:

Completed DS-230 Part I and II, part I signed.

2 2"x2" passport photos with full name, DOB, and NVC case # written on back

Photocopy of biometric page of passport

Original birth certificate plus one photocopy

Original marriage certificate plus one photocopy

Original divorce certificate plus one photocopy

Original police certificate plus one photocopy

For my step-daughter (5-years old):

Completed DS-230 Part I and II, part I signed by my wife.

2 2"x2" passport photos with full name, DOB, and NVC case # written on back

Photocopy of biometric page of passport

Original birth certificate plus one photocopy

Now, here are my questions.

Do I need to include a copy of the marriage and/or divorce certificate in my step-daughter's application that I am including with my wife's application?

Do I need to include a copy of my divorce certificate in either application?

Am I missing anything else?

Thanks in advance.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WILL SEND!

WELL I WILL INCLUDE THE CERTIFIED COPY OF MY MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IN MY KID'S PACKETS, NOW RELATED TO THE DIVORCE, NEITHER ME NOR MY HUSBAND WERE EVER MARRIED BEFORE, BUT IF THAT WAS MY CASE, I CERTAINLY WOULD. A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THAT WHEN THE DOCUMENT YOU SENT WAS NOT NECESSARY, THEY WILL JUST SENT YOU AN EMAIL SAYING THAT TEY RECEIVED EVERYTHING BUT THIS OR THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY, SO IT'S BETTER TO RECEIVE THAT THAN A RFE.

NOW RELATED TO THE REST, EVERYTHING LOOKS PRETTY WELL TO ME, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS!Thanks in advance.

THANK YOU TOO!!! GOOD LUCK AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE OTHER CONCERNS! :)
