Permission from Ex spouse to take my child out of the country?

[Karinschi 0]

Hello everybody,

I do have a question regarding the permisson from my ex-spouse to take my daugther to the US.

I am a German citizen planning on moving to the US with my soon-to-be-hubby (US Citizen) based on the DCF Visa. I do have sole custody of my daugther ever since she's born and also the right to determine the place of her residence. My ex-spouse has never been granted any visitation rights or anything in that directon. I do have a german court decision on all of that.

So, my question: How do I prove my rights within the visa process? Would it be enough to present the translated court order?

Thanks so much in advance

Karina

I think that a certified translated court order would suffice, HOWEVER, if I were you, I would send the consulate an e-mail asking them specifically.

Their e-mail is: uscis.frankfurt@dhs.gov

Thank you! Guess you're right, that might be the safest thing to do!!

Do I still need an additional permission from the ex-spouse although I have the above mentioned court order?
