Passport application for my K2 - PARENTAL CONSENT???

[cyjj17 1]

My previous marriage with my daughter's biological dad was annulled. However, we didn't have a court order regarding my sole custody. Instead, we have a typewritten letter w/ our scanned pictures and signatures on every page. Will this suffice? Anyone that has the same experience, I would appreciate your input. Thanks

I doubt it you will need a costudy order from the court. Good luck.

When i applied for my son's passport. They asked for my court order. Custody is mine, DFA in charge read the finality and highlighted the custody statement. And then i got my son's passport in less than a month. Me being so assuratic( not in dictionary, just made this word-means wants to make sure with everything) individual , i secured a notarized letter from the father of my son surrendering his rights and permitting my son's travel to the united states., but this letter was no use., embassy did not bother to ask about the bio father. Why not call DFA and ask what exact docs they need if you don't have the sole custody, a letter from the bio father, might do something. who knows...

We had to go through all that stuff with my wife's daughter, for two good reasons. Her home country wouldn't even allow her to leave without it, and the USCIS also would not accept it either without it.

But then again, no longer dealing with the USCIS, but the DOS now, could ask them why that child even has a green card without providing that key permission information. But no telling which officer you would be dealing with. How close is this child to 16 years of age, that permission is no longer required.

Stepdaughter's Venezuelan expired, while we took all that proof to their consulate, wouldn't accept it. But being under 18, if they did, would never let her leave unless she got permission again from her biological father, and this guy loved to blackmail us to get that permission. But each has their own problems in this regard. What are yours?

Thank you...I was never asked about a court oder during the process of our K1-K2 visas. I should've done something about it when I was still in my birth country. Hoping for more replies regarding this issue.

Guess all we can do is share our experiences, some 80 odd field offices and seem to not have the same protocol. K1 and K2 visas, are just that, visas, giving the petitioner 90 days to get married or send the applicants back. Ha, try to get married in the Roman Catholic Church within 90 short days.

Spent our honeymoon filling out those AOS forms and trying to find a decent deal for the I-693, we also applied for EAD cards, because that stage was long, for us 13 months. But at least with EAD cards, could add my wife to my bank accounts and send my stepdaughter to school. Strong disagreements on this issue are between the supreme court and the DOS. Didn't want to get in the middle of that fight.

Then the panick of the AOS to get those conditional green cards, this is when we had to show proof that her biological gave his permission for his daugther to come here, but we never mentioned to her dad, the reason for that was for his ex to marry me. He learned that later. Never heard of anyone getting rejected during the AOS stage.

But then had another panick for the ROC stage, then yet another for the citizenship stage. In those two stages, permission of my stepdaughter to be here was never brought up.

The subject of annulement is even more complicated, can be either divil or religous. Religous varies considable by country even with the same so-called universal church. With civil, in Wisconsin at least, only way to get an annulement is to prove you never had sex, other than that, its a divorce.
