I am for applying residency. My father referenced me as his beneficiary. The problem is that my father’s name is not on my birth certificate. My birth certificate is from Durango, Mexico. I have tried contacting their hall of records and no one seems to be picking up the phone. I have left various messages. I went to the Mexican council and didn't receive a clear answer from them either.
Sometimes a DNA paternity test can be useful. Especially with the complications your mentioned, it would be wise for you and your father to work with an immigration lawyer. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
