Do the (your) paternity test and after that consult with a lawyer.

Hello Guys_ Iam the originator of this topic but unfortunately I mistakenly locked my account by mistyping several times and eventually asked the moderator to close the account hoping that I can reactivate it once again but I coundnt find anyway of activating the account and that is why I create this new account similar to the old one, Iam not too good in using this site, sorry about that. thanks everyone for commenting.

Now, before some of you guys accusing and saying all kind of words and kneelling me on the cross for lying let me explain the whole thing as I said earlier that there is more to the story, I was dating this girl and she get pregnant knowing that iam the father and five months in to the pregancy something happened between us and she said Im not the father, initially i thought she was kind of joking untill it get serious and name another guy as beeing responsible for the pregnancy and deep dowm my heart i know im the father, so when I had oppotunity of coming to US at that time the child was about five yrs old and I approched the mother once again to asked her to include the child on my documents as a father and after the baby was born I demanded to do paternity test to prove if she indeed not my child and she decline and I stop persuing. So she said dont use her to do anything she is not your child.........and that is the REASON I coundnt include her name as my child because it will be wrong to use a child that has been declared as not yours, and I never use her as my child on any documentation whatsoever UNTILL recently the mother came and apoligize to forgive her and that she is indeed MY DAUGHTER and I said before I will say YES OR NO I will do DNA test to confirm that and if comes out to be my daughter I have an open arms to wellcome and receive her as a daughter because she has done nothing wrong BUT her mother is the cause all this mess. that is why in the beginning the guy advice not to use her but I didnt explain the whole story well and some of you accuse me of fraud all that. I have done nothing wrong and Iam man of obeying rules and believe in doing the right thing and respect the law. I was weighting in any option if i do the DNA test and she is indeed my daughter then I have a responsiblity to help her.

thank you all once again.

You have to realize also if all works out and you decide to petition your daughter you have to have mothers written permission to allow her to immigrate to the US. Is she willing to do that?

Correct, and unless you marry the mother, the mother will be staying behind. You still need an attorney for this complicated case. Thanks for explaining more fully.

I'd like to add:

Do the paternity test first. Once you know for a 100% sure that she is your daughter, you can go from there:

a) I don't think you are now at great risk loosing your USC, since at the time, you didn't have a daughter you knew a 100% of (and wasn't mentioned on any documents like you on the birth certificate). So you did answer this question truthfully.

b) Once this is cleared, consult with an immigration attorney. Be carefull what he/she will promise you though, since..

c) ..you will have to fulfil the USCIS requirement of a bona fide father-child relationship. Since it looks like you haven't spent a single day with her since she was born, you won't have chance here. So in this case you have two options:

1) move abroad, spend time with her for a good year, establish a relationship. After that year you can file a petition while she is still under 18.

2) marry the mother. But if you haven't been in good standing with her, I wouldn't recommend this at all.

Both options will never be a 100% guarantee that the visa for her will be ever granted.

• If your child is not legitimated under the law, you must submit evidence that you established a bona fide father-child relationship prior to the child turning 21 or marrying. This should be evidence of emotional and/or financial involvement in the child’s life.
