Hello. I am so thankful I found this website. Really informative and helpful! My fiancee from the Philippines has one child from a prior relationship. My fiancee as a single mother supports her 5 y/o daughter, father nowhere to be found for over a year after attempts to contact him. We are concerned about the K2 visa requirements during the interview specifically the Notarized Letter of consent from the father allowing his daughter to travel and live permanently in the US. Is this a K2 visa requirement needed during the K1/K2 visa interview? Anybody from VJ members who had this experience that the Consul asked to be presented during the interview? I did a research from the Dept of Social Welfare and Development and the Bureau of Immigration that if the minor(age below 7) travels with the mother, no travel clearance is required from these departments that I mentioned. Does that mean that my fiancee being the mother can travel with her daughter without securing consent letter from the father? I would appreciate your inputs regarding this..Thank you in advance..

Yes, nothing is needed from the father. As long as they were NEVER married, the illegitimate child belongs with the mother.

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

The mother has sole and complete custody of the child in the Philippines, there is no letter required from the father during the interview or any other time. Relax.

All requirements for the K-2 are listed in the embassy instructions letter. Following the flashing arrow for links.

Hello! I have a follow up question on this... What if the illegitimate child bears the father's last name? Will a consent from the father be needed? My gf is a single mom and never got any financial support from the father.

Doesn't matter. Mom is still the person with custody of the child, nothing is needed from the father. Just the way it is in the Philippines.
