Hi Folks,
I hope that this is an appropriate place for this post, the topics in this forum seem to cover a lot of ground... Although not a certainty yet, I may end up marrying an Indonesian woman. I'm a US citizen, she currently resides in a 3rd country, we would live in the US, and we would be going the K1 route. This woman was previously married and divorced in Indonesia, she has a daughter who is under 21 years old. All well and fine, but the paperwork wrinkle that we may need to deal with is in regards to the daughter. My prospective wife tells me that her daughters birth certificate list her (my prospective wife's) parents as her daughters parents. She is originally from a rural area of Java and she tells me that this is not uncommon, OK, but it seems like it could be a sticking point somewhere along the line.
Has anyone run into something like this? Is the practice of using the child's grandparents names on the birth certificate a somewhat known practice?
Thank you all in advance for any input or guidance.
