If you came to the US on a K-1, then your husband can file for a K-2 visa for your daughter.

If you cam to the US on a CR-1, then your husband can file for a CR-2 visa for your daughter.

The US Embassy will not issue a visa to your daughter until you get the notarized quit claim from her biological father allowing her to immigrate or a court order allowing her to immigrate. You telling that you cannot locate the father is not an excuse for obtaining the quit claim or a court order because it is too easy for people to lie about not being able to locate a biological parent in an attempt to circumvent this requirement. The US government will not take part in assisting a parent in removing a child from his/her home country without the other parent's consent. The concern is international child kidnapping by a parent.

Did your husband file an I-130 for her already? If not, then that is where it starts

Hello there,

I have a similar situation with eimen05. I'm not in the US yet --but my US Citizen husband is planning to petition my 7-month old baby as well (my USC husband is not the biological father).

I was never married to my ex, did not acknowledge him as the father as he abandoned us prior the time I gave birth, and I did not include him in the birth certificate.

My question is: Do I still need the "notarized quit claim from her biological father allowing her to immigrate" despite my situation?

[justashooter 430]

same answer. you need a release from the biological father. this is part of an international agreement that has been law for some years.

resist the temptation some others fall into to provide a falsified release. such action can result in legal trouble that will bolix up the entire process.

Hi! My husband filed the I-130 for my son,,, but im not sure if i have the same case with you coz,, the immigration didn't ask any information about his real father.

This information will be requested at the NVC stage and at the interview ( maybe )

Immigration won't 'ask' .

It's up to the USC to provide the info, and the proper info , during NVC processing of the I-130.

I'm sorry, but I keep noticing pattern of 'ask' when it should be 'provide'.

What are you thinking?
