I can't find our situation where the father is not present. Would you be so kind as to highlight that portion? Not I'm really confused.

Wow that's what I thought but of course a "friend" of my fiances claims that she was denied because she didn't have the fathers consent. Thank you very much!

Not sure if I put this is the right place. I am engaged and my fiance in the Philippines has two minor children. She has never been married (Thank God). I recently filed for the K-1 for my fiance. I want to bring her two minor children along with us to the US. Problem is the "father" is listed on the children's birth certificates. He absconded when the second child was born and has not been seen of heard from since....no contact what-so-ever- No idea where he went. Now I realize that to get the kids Philippine Passports (for K-2) visa we have a problem. How does my fiance get her two children PI passports when "father" has disappeared? What are the steps we need to take so she can obtain PI passports for the children. More attorneys, acts of congress, I can only imagine but I want to get this done. I have read that a court order granting her TOTAL custody of the children must be obtained. Where do I start? Is an attorney required? Anyone know of any attorneys in Makati? Please advise.

Okay, so I am ready to file an I-129F petition for my fiance in Philippines. She has two children ages 7 and 8. I would not think of separating a mother from her children so naturally I want to bring them along with their mom once we get approved. I have already listed them on the I-129F. What else do I have to do to make sure we can bring them all at the same time? The filing fee is 535 dollars for the I-129F I know. Do I send an additional 525 for each child with the I-129 petition? If not how do I tell DHS that I want to bring the three of them all at once? Or is there no additional charge for the minor children? Please help. I have all of the forms ready and want to mail them out ASAP. Mahalo, David
