Yes, if you intend for them to get their own GC as your derivatives

got it. thanks for everytime!!!Yes, if you intend for them to get their own GC as your derivatives
Thanks. Both of our names show on the children's Canadian birth certificate. We may relay on unofficial DNA tests to state that each child may relate to the other (from a biological point of view), but we don't have any document to prove that one parent is the biological parent of either child. We can claim unknown for both fathers as we don't know officially. I would like to avoid a situation where they will ask us to run back and forth only because of their oversight on designing a form that doesn't address ART family's complexity. I called them and got a really nice agent. She couldn't tell me what to do, and asked me to answer to my best knowledge. That wasn't really helpful, but I guess i'll have to make a decision either way.I am aware of the case you mention - I think that’s a somewhat different case as there was the issue of automatic naturalization involved (there was no dispute about legal parentage as I recall). Different from applying for a green card. That said I’m not sure about the correct way to do this other than the obvious - as you do know who the actual biological parents of each are, that is what you should put (for some reason on initial reading of the earlier post I mistakenly thought a parent was unknown).
I would ensure you have for interview, whatever Canadian documents prove your legal parentage if there is something other than the birth certificate required for this under Canadian law.
Hi everybody,
I'm the primary applicant and my wife is a derivative..can she attend the interview alone? Or should I, as primary, be in the interview?
I know it'sook if it's the other way around (me attending the interview alone) but can it be possible in my case?
Ahh..frustrating, will try again in DV2022. But thanksNope, not possible.
No problem.Hi all, I have a question. The city of birth in my passport and my birth certificate are different, though the country is correct. I guess the embassy was in the city and they issued the passport with that city as the passport. Will that be an issue during this process?
No problem.
If the correct one is on the birth certificate, then yes list that. Although it is only the country that matters for eligibility, you are still answering an official form under penalty of perjury, so answer it correctly...even the questions that seem minor.So, I should be entering the city of birth mentioned in the birth certificate in my DS-260, right? or does it matter?
Congratulations to you on your selection and best if luck with the process . We are looking forward to hearing from ones you get your green cardView attachment 1702
So after 22 years of trying i finally got lucky and was selected for further processing. I can't put on words my level of excitement, however if/when i receive my green card then my level of excitement will certainly break the scale. I wish those selected the best of luck. I know every single one of you has a story to tell. If I ever receive my green card and this ends in a happy ending i will comeback and share with you my journey that has been nothing but disappointments.

My parents got selected after years of trying, EU39***, do you think there is still a hope they will make it to the interview?looks like most of the years for Europe was current with interviews, is it to yearly to make any assumptions?
Thank you for your reply, hoping for the bestYes it’s too early to make that assumption, we don’t even know the total number of selectees for now.
Whatever the reason was, assuming you know it. For example if a B visa was denied for suspected immigrant intent/214b denial, just write that.If you've been denied a visa before, what explanation do you put in the ds260?
