Asked in Immigration Law for New York

Q: Please see details below! Thank you

Hello, I want to start a K1 petition for my fiancé we have a child together but when the child was born I did not put the fathers name on the birth certificate because I needed his permission to obtain a US passport and since he is not in the United States I was told it would be easier for me to obtain a passport if I don’t add his name to the birth certificate. My question is how else can I prove to USCIS that he is the father of our son when I submit the K1 petition ? What else can be provided as proof of parental relationship besides the birth certificate

A: Bad information and gossip can prove costly and detrimental. This decision complicates matters, but more delay will make matters worse. I strongly recommend an appointment or Zoom Meeting with a competent and experienced immigration attorney as soon as possible. More ought to be done, sooner!
