Do you have any records from yourself or that first child -- medical, church (baptism, confirmation, etc), dated photos from the major holidays that year (especially if they were clearly taken in the same house)?  While you, obviously, can't document every single day, all of these sorts of things will help show a pattern that becomes part of the whole picture, especially when the passport record is added to it.

 

And, I assume the child born in 2017 was born before June 11?  If after, the required documentation is different.

I see what you're saying.

Yes she was born January 2017.

Do you think my daughters expired passport will be helpful as she has the same record as i do. I dont have her birth certificate but shes listed in my divorce documents. 

I'm still looking for what i can add.

Thank you for the insight!

Her passport would be another piece of information --  the more pieces you can present the better, aa the determination shound be based on the "preponderance of the edvidence" standard versus "proven" (beyond a reasonable doubt), i.e., that the evidence presented is compelling and it is more likely than not that you were in the US for that full year.  Good luck on your search!

*Bump*

Appointment coming up in few days. 

I now have passport stamps for me and my us citizen daughter at the time. May' 09 to may '10.

1040 state and federal returns for both years (thank goodness for turbo tax i had electronically filed through my ex bro in law he kept saved on file) which states me as a housewife..

One w2 from a seasonal job i picked up that Christmas.

I hope this is enough for my one year i wish i could interview already so nervous. By the way my mother mailed me these proofs from the states as im in the Philippines , this is also very costly but if it works very much worth it.

Sounds like you have worked hard to gather additional documentation.  Hope all goes well at your interview.  Do your best to stay calm and not be nervous so you can present your case clearly.
