Additional Evidence - Child of spouse (Under 18)

[Steve & Erma 36]

Filing the I-130 is pretty straight forward but I was trying to figure out what evidence I needed to add beyond what they are asking for. It asks for our marriage cert, his BC, DC from father but not much else. What other additional evidence do I need to add to show he is my stepson to send the petition in?

The I-130 instructions tell you what to send in.  If "DC" is Divorce Certificate, that is needed for you spouse but not a second on in the child's package.  Marriage certificate between you and the child's mother, combined with the BC showing your wife is the child's mother, is exactly what is needed.  Other relationship evidence is about showing your relationship with your wife is more than just legal, but also bona fide.

DC is death Cert showing separation from the father and no legal issues. Someone had told me I should send in extra things like support receipts like paying for his motorbike, clothes, etc. There is a place for additional info but nothing in the instructions calls out that extra information.

I sent:

Proof of parents joint ownership

Child Birth certificate

Proof of my relationship to child (pictures together etc.)

Proof of marriage to his mother

Proof of my US citizenship

Evidence of financial support to child

 

Took awhile but finally approved and now awaiting interview date

"Someone had told me" is a well known source of misinformation.  The words Death and Divorce both start with D, so best to be clear in your communication.  I advise you to follow the advice I gave you in my first response.  Count on ME as a reliable source.
