The burden of proof of birth and legal custody is with the applicant

Thanks for your responses Lopburi3 and Dr. Pat Pong.

In my case I will have not only a birth certificate but also (from the US Embassy in Bangkok) a Report of the Birth of an American Citizen Abroad and a US passport for my son. One of the requirements for obtaining those documents was signing an Affadavit of Parentage and Support, wherein I promised to support him until the age of 18. Had I been legally married this would have been unnecessary, but that's another story...

I am hoping this paperwork, certified by the US Embassy, will be sufficient to obtain the extension of stay. Any thoughts?

That should put a different light on it. I would give the extension a try in that case.

Hi,does anyone knows how many 1yr Non O visa can u get,i remember i read a while ago that after 3yrs they dont give u a 1yr Non O Visa anymore,because they say u can ask for residency status,is that true?

The residency status tale is just another myth.

I've been getting one year extensions on my non-o visa since 1992. Am off to Samui next week to pick up the next one. So, no, there doesn't appear to be that requirement if you have been getting one year extensions.

Sorry, bit off the current topic, but felt I needed to add that part!

Do not believe anyone has reported any problems with the multi O at Penang.
