june filers for step children

[kendelle 103]

Does anybody know what to bring to the interview for proof if you file apply for a step child? what type of question do they ask during the interview process?

Your input will be greatly appreciated

I, too am wondering the same. So I’m following this.

My stepdaughter had her interview in Guangzhou China Dec 2019. My wife flew back to attend the interview with her since the embassy requires kids under 14 to be accompanied by a parent.

 

The asked my wife a lot of questions about her relationship with me (petitioner and stepfather), if we had any proof I had met my stepdaughter, and a bunch of other stuff. Straightforward, but we were expecting it to be a lot easier. They didn't ask my stepdaughter anything, except if she could recognize me in a photo we brought and if she wanted to go live in America.

 

She was approved on the spot, got her visa 3 days later, and a week ago arrived in the US.

What did you sent for proof of relationship?

We haven’t had our interview yet for my stepson. We’re doing a follow to join so I haven’t had to send any proof of relationship for my stepson yet. I’m guessing they’ll want us to bring proof to the interview (whenever they choose to schedule it) but I was going to make sure we have his birth Certificate from the national archives and possibly a few pictures. I’m not really sure what kind of proof they would need for a 9 year old?

Thanks for responding. Keep me posted please, will do the same.

They asked us for proof that I had met my stepdaughter. We brought along a bunch of photos.

May I ask what country you filed out of ? 

 

I wonder if they’ll give us a problem if I don’t physically have any pics of me and his son together. What if I have Photos of us on FaceTime ?
