Your location says Vernon, Ny. Are you actually in Germany? If you are not you cannot file for DCF. You have to take up permanent residency in Germany by moving there and receiving an Aufenthaltserlaubnis before you can file DCF.

Also, you can file for your husband's child once you are OK'd for DCF. However, I am not sure the kind of legal documentation you would have to have to do that. You should or email USCIS in Frankfurt to ask.

I really think that she should call. I don't think there is any one here who has experience bringing over children that did not have some right to US citizenship through Frankfurt by DCF that I have seen. I would assume that you would need a court documented custody arrangement and written permission from the mother. I really have no idea. Best to call.

Ummm,....Im Australian, living In Germany with the US military. I already have my greencard etc etc. My children moved from Australia, to live here with me nearly two years ago now,...

We are currently doing DCF through Franfurt for them, and they currently have no claim to US citizenship,..until of course I get mine, then they automatically acquire it becasue they are under 18.

You do in fact need a written authorisation from the other parent to allow you to take the child out of the country that has been verified by a Notary, and also need Court ordered custody documents.

I did not have court ordered documents, so they accepted the letter from the Father in Australia solely, but they did contact him to verify. i think it made it a lil easier becasue the kids were already outside of their home country anyways, and living with me, But I still needed to get permission from him to move them again.
