I have an additional question. USCIS's guideline says that "If you have a dependent spouse or child(ren) who do not live with you, send . . ." supporting documents such as "court order . . .".

I don't know what to do in this case because our stepdaughter lives with us only 30% of the time and the court order is to my USC husband and not to me (I have no obligation to pay support for her). Do I still need to attach these documents? :help:

The question answers itself imho... it says "If you have a dependent spouse or child(ren) who do not live with you..etc.etc."

Do you have a dependent spouse or child(ren)? If the answer is yes, if it was your child, then you have to give those documents.. if not, then not... they're not doing an investigation to your husband but to you. If it is his child and your stepchild, then you don't have to give them any information at all regarding that.

Thanks. But since it seems that I have to declare all the children/stepchildren in the main form (see my previous thread), I might just explain in the attachment that she's not my dependent. Do you think it's a good plan?

Yeah that's the best thing to do. I doubt there will be questions coming from the place where you send the application to, but you might get a question during your interview (they also asked me a couple of times about my oldest daughter, who doesn't live with me and that is no dependent of me (she is from a former relationship, not marriage). Just tell them the same story as you wrote down in the attachment and I'm sure you'll be fine :)
