    Default Will Delinquent Child Support Affect Sponsorship of an Immigrant Spouse

    I want to get married to a woman who's here on a student visa. I have a child from a one night stand i had when i was 18. I pay child support but i'm not in the child's life at all (they live in another state). I haven't told the lady i'd like to marry about my child yet because, besides the child support it will not affect our lives in any way (although i plan to tell her in the near future). Will questions arise in the green card interview about this issue or my child support payments?

    If you're sponsoring her residency you'll need to include the child support obligation in the I-864.

    (And I strongly suggest you don't go into this marriage without being honest - because it can backfire in more ways than one)

    I agree. If your soon to be spouse doesn't know that you have a child that not only could effect your relationship but it could effect the immigration issues dramatically.
