(3) Evidence of the physical relationship between the U.S. citizen and the child;
(4) Evidence of the legal relationship between the U.S. citizen and the child, such as proof of the U.S. citizen/national parent(s)as citizenship and marriage or for births out of wedlock, legitimation in accordance with Section 309 INA (8 U.S.C. 1409) or predecessor statute, and an affidavit of parentage and financial support if the child is born out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen father;
