I-130 for my father

[sinobu]

Hi, i'm filing an I-130 for my father now but I run into some issue. The instruction required me to submit my parent marriage certificate & divorced but they never have any marriage at all back in my country. And they live separately for years now. What should I do? Also, what other form should I submit together w/ I-130 for my father?
Thanks.

Your parents never married, either before or after your birth?

Yes, back in my country at that time official marriage certificate hold no value so they just skip it and never have any certificate.

You need to provide proof that you had a bona fide father-child relationship with your father before you turned 21. This includes various evidence like him providing for you (e.g. if you lived in his house), him holding you out to be his child (including if he was listed on your birth certificate), etc.
