For those who remember my name..... last year we were denied Green Cards although my sister sponsored us because they said we were not in status whilst waiting......ok understood.

Filed again...this time US Citizen Stepchild filing for Dad & wife. RFE for evidence showing that he was biological father because his name was not on Birth Certificate..... still turned down because although the DNA test says 99.99% they wanted more proof of existing relationship over the years.

Question: considering we lived in seperate countries and we only have a few photos of her childhood what else can we send in the third time around. They did not even tell us what to send. In our country we do not have monthly child support payments like in the USA .......so does anyone out there have any idea of what other proof we can supply them with. This is getting to be very costly having to pay for filing plus adjustment of status a third time......only good thing about the situation is that we can maintain our drivers licenses, work permits and jobs in the meantime.

Any input, especially from the Real Canadian would be greatly appreciated.

In our country we do not have monthly child support payments like in the USA Even if your country doesnt have legally mandated child support, that doesnt stop him from sending support payments on a regular basis, whether it is monthly, quarterly, or annually. Did he?

Who is filing for who? Your husbands US citizen daughter is filing for him and you?

How long ago was the denial? If it was recent, you should file a Motion to Reopen instead of a whole new application.

My husbands US Citizen daughter is filing for us. We have been married since she was 6yrs old, because her biological mother did not put his name on birth certificate (not married) he had to do the DNA test which is 99.99% and you only have to look at her to know she is his. She lived with him (Father) for years in his country until the mother who was living illegally in USA sent for her to spend a vacation with her and never allowed her to return to the father. We have kept in touch with her all these years but would have no phone call bills or anything like that considering that this was over 15yrs ago. She recently obtained her citizenship that is how she came to file for us. We are awaiting a letter from USCIS which they say was posted the end Sept. to tell us why we were denied but we have not yet received it.

Someone else said that we should not reopen the case because if it was denied again we would not be able to refile at all. They said it was better to refile and try to include as much affidavits etc. from people who know of this relationship from their country etc.

Please give thoughts on this or any other information that we could submit.

She lived with him (Father) for years in his country ... Does he have any proof of that? School records, medical records, anything?

until the mother who was living illegally in USA sent for her to spend a vacation with her and never allowed her to return to the father... That is international kidnapping. Did he report it to the authorities in the US or his country?

Someone else said that we should not reopen the case because if it was denied again we would not be able to refile at all. That is not true. If they wont let you reapply, its not because of a failed Motion to Reopen. File the MTR with the additional evidence to address the reaon in the denial letter.
