I have sent my wife's and her son's (my stepson) i-130. I received their NOA1 form,I-797C Forms today. I am preparing my affidavit of support.

I was wondering what kind of documents will we be needing for the interview. Mainly what kind of documents for my step child. Do have have to get some permission from the biological father? his name is on the birth certificate, and the child uses his surname.

Was the mother married to the father? If the child is illegitimate, then the mother has sole authority over the child.

My wife has a step-daughter, was never married to the father and on the Birth Certificate is has N.A. for the father's name. I take it my wife has sole authority over her daughter? And no problem for the interview when we get one?

As Leatherneck has mentioned, the mother has sole custody for an illegitimate child. Regardless if the biological father's name is on the birth certificate, the mother has sole custody.

When I petitioned my stepdaughter, I followed this guide. Almost everything in this guide helped me prepare the necessary documents for the interview. I had zero problems throughout the entire process.

Good luck with your journey! Keep us updated with your case! :thumbs:

Correct.

And no problem for the interview when we get one?

Assuming you have all properly completely forms and required documents...no, there should be no problems during the interview. I highly recommend reading this guide. I followed it to the letter, and my process went so smooth.

Good luck with your journey! :thumbs:
