Hello all,

I am wondering something....

I am the American Citizen petitioning for my African fiance....

We've been together almost a year (since we met online)...

Well... I have a 6 year old son. I am wondering if this is going to be investigated by the USCIS for any reason???

I didn't see any opportunity to put any information on the I-129F application about my child.....???? Since he is American and already here with me.... (I only saw a place to put info on children overseas whom applying for to come to the US)

Does anyone know if USCIS or Homeland Security or the Consulate itself should be hesitant to give the visa since I have a child???

I was never married so I am assuming they dont quite care about specific information about my son......

However, I did include pictures in my initial evidence in the application of my fiance and son TOGETHER..... and I labled the picture "my fiance and my son"...

Anyone????????????? :unsure:

I haven't ever heard of USCIS denying a petition because the USC has a child. When the petition gets to the Consulate in Ghana, you WILL have to prove that you make enough $$$ to support you, your child, and your fiance. Basically you will have to make 125% of poverty level for a household of 3 (unless HE has kids, too).

I have 2 children that are not my husbands (fiance then). Did not make a bit of difference. The only time it comes into play is on the financial documents and then, they are just a number.

That being said.....make sure he KNOWS all kinds of things about your child. Meeting him/her is a plus. They DID ask Andre the names, ages, and if they had met.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I have 2 boys(twins), not my husbands children. I only had to put their names on the I-134, as my dependents. At the interview my husband was not asked anything about my children. It definately helps for him to know about your child, because they could ask him. I have not heard of anyone being denied a visa because their SO has a child. Don't worry you'll be just fine.
