Green Living Az US Citizen applying for daughter in foreign country?

Question by isaac z: US Citizen applying for daughter in foreign country?
I am a US Citizen, I have a daughter in Mexico, from a previous marriage. I support her financially, but she has no documents to come to the States, She was born before I naturalized. Which forms do I need to fill in order to bring her to the United States? Does my ex-wife have to give up her rights to my daughter? I am planning to start all documentation/process starting in January. My ex wife agrees to let me apply for my daughter but she still wants her to live with her in Mexico. I appreciate the information you provide.

You need to file I-130, I-864 and G-325A. If your name is not on her birth certificate a DNA test will almost certainly be required to establish paternity. If she’s under the age of 21 it will take about a year and she will be eligible for US citizenship immediately upon entering the USA.

You ex will be required to give permission to remove the daughter from the USA.
