getting my daughter.. any tips please..

[let-it-be 36]

Hi fellow vj's.. I'm in dilemma of getting my daughter.. I got here in United States w k1 visa and wasn't able to bring my daughter due to her birth certificate issue. My parents was written as her parents on her official birth certificate.. You know how hard to be away from your child. This is just our first time to be away from each other and everyday I am praying and hoping to be w her w my husband his son and me as a one happy family. She just turned to 5 few months ago. I love being w my husband but I also need my daughter and she needs me as well. To those mom I know you can relate of what I feel..

I talked w some attorney and she wanted us to adopt my daughter. Unfortunately we do not have much money to do it right now because of our current financial status. Bringing me here is very costly, filed my AOS, paying our car and some debts and bills..

I hope there is someone who can advice me what to do w this matter..

Many thanks..

Go find another lawyer, the one you talked with is going to make your case lot more complicated than it already is. It's an uphill battle going through adoption of your sister ( which is your biological daughter). Listen to the advice of others about going through judicial process in correcting your daughter's birth certificate. That's the only way you can get her to be with you here in the states.

Thanks guys.. I'm sorry if I re-post it again. I'm getting lost of what did attorney say.. my mother went to LCR and was told to just go ask the attorney. Apparently they are no help.

Adoption will not work. You would need to return to the Philippines to live with your adopted child for 2 years before you could file for an immigration visa for the child. The catch-22 is that it puts your green card status at risk.

Lying on the birth certificate was a big mistake. That is the mistake you need to fix. This is the only realistic hope you have. However, the US will suspect fraud - that you are trying to make her your daughter for the sole purpose of bringing her to the US since it would take more than 20+ years for you to petition her as your sister.
