K1 VISA, Fianc?e has child. Do
Please excuse me if this question has been asked before. I have searched the
newsgroup but did not find any information about this exact topic.
My fiancée has a child born out-of-wedlock and was never married to the child's
father. She has sole custody. The father has very little involvement with the child.
He does pay child support, albeit sporadically. Anyway, my question is can we bring
this child to the US and to do so will we need the permission of the child's father.
Thanks..

If he is on record as the natural father, and he must be if he is paying child support, then she will need a letter from him allowing the child to migrate.

Birds migrate. People emigrate or immigrate. immigrate = to come into a new country
in order to SETTLE there emigrate = to leave a country or region to SETTLE in another
One immigrates TO and emigrates FROM.
I have seen this misused so many times it makes me wonder...

Actually, immigrate and emigrate are simply variations, going into more detail than
to simply say migrate.
mi·grate Pronunciation Key (mgrt) intr.v. mi·grat·ed, mi·grat·ing, mi·grates
1.. To move from one country or region and settle in another.
2.. To change location periodically, especially by moving seasonally from one
region to another. im·mi·grate Pronunciation Key (m-grt)
v. im·mi·grat·ed, im·mi·grat·ing, im·mi·grates
w. intr. To enter and settle in a country or region to which one is not native. See
Usage Note at migrate*. em·i·grate Pronunciation Key (m-grt) intr.v. em·i·grat·ed,
em·i·grat·ing, em·i·grates To leave one country or region to settle in another.
See Usage Note at migrate*. *Usage Note: Migrate, which is used of ***people***
and animals, sometimes implies a lack of permanent settlement, especially as a
result of seasonal or periodic movement. Emigrate and immigrate are used only of
people and imply a permanent move, generally across a political boundary. Emigrate
describes the move relative to the point of departure: After the Nazis came to
power in Germany, many scientists emigrated (that is, left Germany). By contrast,
immigrate describes the move relative to the destination: The promise of
prosperity in the United States encouraged many people to immigrate (that is, move
to the United States).
Therefore, migrate is the general term. While it is often used to describe the
seasonal movement of animals, it is also used to describe anything moving from one
country or region to another. Birds do migrate, so do bugs, animals, AND people.
Immigrate and emigrate are variations, going into specifics about migration. Go
ahead, look it up, it's in the websters dictionary.
Rete was correct when she said migrate, she just didn't use the specification of
leaving or coming. She was correct though.
Before you correct someone, make sure you have it right. Get a websters dictionary.
Or you might want to try http://www.dictionary.com/ Thats where I got the definitions
you see here.

Re: K1 VISA, Fianc?e has child. Do
My daughter who accompanied me here on a k2 visa did not need permission from her father as we were not married and consequently he has no legal parental responsibility. This is not changed by paying any kind of child support. He is named on the birth cerificate as her father but only a court order can convey legal parental responsibility for the father if the parents are not married.
On the other hand if a letter is easy to obtain why not get one and be sure as the INS seems to be inconsistant about the way it applies requirements.

Re: K1 VISA, Fiancée has child. Do we need permission of the father?
That depends on the country you are coming from. In the Domincian Republic the father
retains right whether married or not and we need his permission to leave the country
with my step-daughter. It is more for the Dominican authorities at the airport then
the consulate.
