Thanks. DS260 asks the names of the biological parents. We know unofficially by conducting a DNA test that one kid is mine, and the other child is his. If we are just going to put "unknown", isn't this going to raise questions? we are the legal parents of both children, but they were never adopted or something like that. I know from reading the news that biological ties are detrimental in asking US citizenship as a gay couple had a similar situation like ours where with one of the twin - got denied from a citizenship request as the biological father wasn't a US citizen. The US court determined that this was not reasonable by the government and the last appealed, but i don't know where things are from the law's perspective.

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.

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.
 
Hello guys, after filling our E-DV Forms, our names came out in different order... Family name on the place of givem name or surname... WILL I HAVE Chance to correct it and put them in the right order
 
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?

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.
 
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?

So, I should be entering the city of birth mentioned in the birth certificate in my DS-260, right? or does it matter?

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.

Yes it’s too early to make that assumption, we don’t even know the total number of selectees for now.
