Clarification-Please Help-Status for my daughter
I have a question. I became US citizen in the year 2007, I am married and I have a son who is born in US. My wife also became the US citizen along with me.
Here is my problem.
I recently visited India and there I came to know that I have a daughter.
When I was in India , I was having a Girl friend and we were planning to get married at that time, But due to some family problems we didn’t , But now I came to know that my Girl friend delivered a girl baby at that time and I was the father of that girl, I had DNA test and the test confirms that I am the father. Now after knowing that I am the father , I don’t want to leave my daughter there. I want to bring her to US and I want her to live with us.
How my case can be handled , How can my daughter come to US and become a US citizen like us. How can I say to US immigration that I am the father of that girl, Right now my daughter is 14 year old. Is there a way. Please let me know.
 
You have not been in her life. Her mother may have objections to you taking the child away from her. Just because you are the father does not give you the right to do what you want with a child you have never supported and do not know.

If you do not want to be separated, YOU can relocate so she can have the benefit of two parents.
 
You might be able to obtain a Green Card for her. This question can be better handled in the Family immigration forum. As this is a child born out of wedlock and your name doesn't appear in birth certificate (I assume) you might have to do some more documentation of your relationship with the child. For example, if you've been supporting her financially, things like that. The DNA test will probably be helpful. Anyway, this is assuming the mother agrees with you applying for the Green Card and gives you custody of your daughter to bring her to the US. I don't know much about any of this.
 
Hi Huracan
Thanks for your reply. When my girl friend delivered the baby , at that time she included my name as her father in her birth certificate, I came to know about this recently, But i didnt support her all these years ,because i dont know that i have a daughter. Recently after knowing, I want my daughter to be with me, I talked to her mother and her mother also is willing to send her with me and i even asked my wife and my wife is willing to invite her as my daughter.
so the question is how should i proceed. Will this impact my Citizenship in US.
The reason why I ask this question is ,I was not aware of my daughter when i as filing my citizenship application and as you mentioned my daughter was born out of wedlock. Please suggest.

thanks in advance
