Evidence for Father - Born Out of Wedlock

[brooke123 2]

Hi! My husband was recently naturalized and we will be applying for both of his parents who were unmarried at the time of his birth, but married a few years ago.

 

For those who have been in the same situation, what additional evidence did you supply to USCIS? We are in a tough position because very little is documented or kept in Honduras. We have the birth certificates, of course, recent marriage certificate (for his parents), and photos of my husband and his father, but really not much documentarily that helps to link my father-in-law to my husband while he was growing up. 

Any out of the box suggestions that anyone may have? It's much appreciated!

Do DNA testing. That is considered conclusive evidence of parentage.

However, for DoS/USCIS purposes you cannot do “preemptive” DNA. They need it to be done by an approved lab and sent directly to them, for which they need a reference number, which essentially requires them to reject the evidence you send them and send a RFE.

Thanks, SusieQQQ. I thought this was the case and had to run through the embassy directly. I guess I'll just have to submit what I have and go through the DNA testing if requested.
