I don’t want to bring the child with me

[Rami679 1]

Hello everyone, 

im applying for the K1, I have to enter my child’s name and details, however I don’t know how exactly the details of child are written in English in the passport because I don’t have a copy of his passport, the mother of the child doesn’t cooperate.

I’m not going to take the child with me, I never lived with the child, and never paid any support because the mother doesn’t want anything and she doesn’t want me to contact them. 
I only have a copy of the birth certificate, and I don’t possess the original. 
Since I’m not going to take the child with me, and I’m not able to reach to the mother regarding any documents, will that affect me in anyway of getting the K-1? And what documents they can ask for?

This will complicate things if you ever want to become a USC.

Until then I will try to solve the issue with child’s mother, but what I worry about is the K-1 visa for now, we want to marry asap, 

so will that complicate the visa process?

Use the name on the BC to list your child on the forms. I'd assume there is some standard english version of the names in your language, use that standard to provide name in English.

you can marry and do the CR1 and then work as soon as u can  get a US job 

pay support 

with K 1 it takes several months before u can work

 

u said u planned to marry but family could not attend the ceremony so u r doing K1

Why?

family will not be able to attend a marriage ceremony in the US either

That's fine.

 

But you may want to keep in mind that if and when you ever get to the point of applying for citizenship, you will need to show evidence that you are of high moral standing, and that you have supported your child, which is the right and moral thing to do.

 

Even if the mother "declines" support, your child is your child, and you can do the right thing and establish an education account or something.
