Japan Police Clearance and Birth Certificate

[carlosarce 0]

Hi everyone, my concern is about my sister's application for US Visa, she was directed to secure a Japan Police clearance and a Copy of her children's Japanese father. they were never married though but had 2 kids and my sister is worrying that she may not be able to bring her kids with her to the US. i have read some posts about how to secure a Japan Police Clearance here in Japan Embassy Manila, and I am so relieved to hear how easy it will be, how about the birth certificate? I really want to help my sister so hoping to hear from you guys'

What type of visa is your sister applying for?

What type of visa is your sister applying for?

my guess its K1 or K3 because the visa her husband applied for her in the US is a spouse visa. they were married here in the Philippines 3 years ago and my brother in law has been in and out of the Philippines since then.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help me Sir.

my guess its K1 or K3 because the visa her husband applied for her in the US is a spouse visa. .

K1 is a fiancee visa, since she is married, she will not be applying for this visa. The K3 is practically obsolete so the spousal visa she will apply for is an IR-1.

I have more questions:

Did your sister's husband file a petition for each of the two kids?

What do you mean by "a copy of her children's Japanese father?"

Regarding birth certificates, are you asking how does she obtain hers? How does she obtain one for the 2 kids?

Thanks again Sir,

- Did your sister's husband file a petition for each of the two kids? My brother in law filed a petition for her as a spouse.

- What do you mean by "a copy of her children's Japanese father?" the embassy personnel was asking for a birth certificate of her children's father. (Japanese)

- Regarding birth certificates, are you asking how does she obtain hers? no, she's ok with it, it's her previous husband's birth cert that she needs to secure.

- How does she obtain one for the 2 kids? she already have it since the kids are with her here in the Philippines.

Again thank you very much and I am hoping to hear from you again.

Stay blessed,

Carlos

Moving from K3 Process & Procedures to Asia: East & Pacific regional forum, procedures obtaining a birth certificate is a country specific issue. In the case of the OP, the country is Japan

- Did your sister's husband file a petition for each of the two kids? My brother in law filed a petition for her as a spouse.

I'll rephrase my original question as I was not asking about what your brother in-law filed for your sister. I was asking did your brother in law file 3 I-130 petitions (1 for your sister, 2 for her two kids)?

- What do you mean by "a copy of her children's Japanese father?" the embassy personnel was asking for a birth certificate of her children's father. (Japanese)

To me this is an odd request by the Embassy, did they give a reason why they wanted the birth certificate of the children's father? Since the father of the children is Japanese, obtaining his birth certificate is a Japan specific issue and will require Japan specific answers.
