Kuwait: A Kuwaiti Father:

I have been dealing with a similar situation for nearly 20 years, and I can tell you that it is a long and complex process. Even with certified copies of (american) marriage and birth certificates that were long ago authenticated by the Ministry of Interior, complete with divorce documentation from a Kuwaiti divorce, it is an uphill battle. My children (now adults) have been in their father's employment and social file for 20 years and they are still fighting for their rights, even after (required) DNA tests. For reasons only he knows, when he put the kids in his employment/social file and had their civil id's issued (to collect the monthly allowance on them) he listed them as "non kuwaiti," making it necessary for them to prove otherwise. Even armed with documentation from the Kuwait Embassy in DC dating from Saddam Hussein's occupation of Kuwait, we are still fighting for their recognition Please don't be misled into thinking you just need to present a few papers, do the mandatory DNA blood test and that's all there is to it. Plan to spend at least a year in Kuwait.
