Biological Parents Consent for K2 or I-130 required?

[Lone Wolf 4]

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is required to get the biological fathers consent for a child to leave the country on a K2 or I-130?

 

Situation, father did sign birth certificate but was not married to child's mother.  I have read under those circumstances, Philippines law considers the child illegitimate and the mother has full custody and can travel with the child outside the country without the biological fathers consent.

 

But I am not sure if that would be valid for K2 or I-130.

 

Hoping someone knows the ins and outs.

You are correct.  Mother has sole custody of the child.   Nothing is needed from the father.
