I already subscribed to his YouTube channel the other night but I miss the time when the answer show was live. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the input and recommendation. I consulted an attorney yesterday and I checked out Jim Hacking's youtube as well. He's so cool giving those free consults online. Unfortunately I do not know how to navigate the site yet to be able to join the live show. As for the attorney, he advised to list the kid's information as that is what the form asks. The issue of not listing the kid's info in I-485 and I-751 will unlikely come up. And if does, I'll just have to explain. He said the worst thing that USCIS can do is to ask for an explanation and amend the previous documents if needed (which is not). He added that if I still feel worried I can always bring the child's support court case and payment receipts. I still would want to consult another attorney for a second opinion though. I wish I can to talk to Jim soon. Anyway, today I was filling up the application online and I'm stuck with uploading the BC of my stepchild which I do not have. I can't even provide the address information. I am only limited to providing the name and DOB. Will it be okay to place N/A for the address? And about the BC, is this something mandatory? My spouse do not know the whereabouts of his ex-gf and the child. No communication for the last 18 years.

I came here in the US through K1-Visa. @iwannaplay54My spouse did submit the I-134 which is included in the I-129F packet. He listed there the child as his dependent (partially dependent). Thats the only circumstance he listed the child on all our previous applications.

I believe I-130 is for spouse visa, correct? My spouse do not remember submitting it. I came to the US through K1 Visa.

Honestly, I also prefer to explain the mishap in person, if asked. Thank you so much for your recommendation. I will definitely check Jim Hacking out. Also, I already shortlisted some attorneys I would consult very soon.

Yes, the stepchild is a USC and my spouse sponsored my GC. I have reviewed the form I-864 that my spouse filled up. He did not include the child as the child does not live in the same residence with us, although he pays child support. I believe the form is asking for the household size. Did my spouse miss something as well?

If I may ask, when you included him in your I-751 did you have any issues with it, knowing that it was not reflected in your I-485? (The I-485 asks about children as well) It may not be a big issue to some USCIS officers but it may be to others. That's my concern. Is it feasible to attach an explanation letter about not listing my stepchild on my previous applications with my N-400 application or do I just have to wait until the interview date? I tried to contact few immigration attorneys in our area and consultation alone costs $150-300/hour.

This is a relief. Thank you.

My husband has been diligently paying his child support. The kid is over 18 years old now so his child support is done.

Hello everyone, any inputs is highly appreciated. I have been an LPR for 8 years now and I will be applying for naturalization soon. I have a query about the "information about my children" section on the application. Here's my case. My current spouse had a child with his ex-gf before we got married. They were not married and the child lives with his mom. Never met the kid who is over 18yrs old now. Does that make my spouse's kid with his ex-gf my step child? If yes, my concern now is I did not include my step child's information on my I-751 and I-485. I did not think about it at that time as I understood that it's asking for my own biological kids. As I was reviewing the N-400 application and it was asking about "the child's relationship to you (biological, step or adopted)" I realize that I probably made a mistake filling up the past applications. Will this affect me greatly during the naturalization process if I include the kid's information on the N-400 and was not reflected on the previous applications?
