So, I was ready to file for my daughter but to be on the safe side, yesterday, I contacted a different immigration attorney to ask her to look through all the paperwork I had filled out. She was also dumbfounded as to why my daughter didn't get approved so if anyone out there has filed for a...

Yes, although I assume that had I resend the missing I-485 a few weeks later the filing fee should have also been only $600. I did ask the lady if concurrent meant "at the same time" and she said no. I think concurrent means that the dependent must have a parent with AOS pending at the time of...

So, I called my IO this morning and he didn't know the answer to my question even though he knew my case. He suggested I call the 1-800-375-5283 number instead. So I did, and it was a nightmare to get through. Anyway, after I managed to get hold of someone I was told that the full fee must be...

They may get confused;)

Yes, but my I-130 and I-485 have been approved. Wouldn't it render my case closed? My daughter's I-130 is not pending it was rejected when I filed it concurrently. The reason I was thinking, maybe, it is still concurrent because she was included in all our applications as a dependent living...

Thank you. That's what I thought. I am hoping to file early next week and I hope it all goes well for her. :)

Yes, he did. I explained it better in my other thread that I started off just to see if anyone with kids had to drag their entire brood along to the interview.:rolleyes: http://boards.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=289583 The IO said that once we reapply for my daughter an IL will be...

Yes, my husband filed I-130 for me and my daughter. I filed I-485 but only for myself and included my daughter in it thinking she didn't need a separate I-485. i filed I-765 and I-131 for her too and included her in our I-864 and she had a separate I-693. They all got rejected on the basis of...

I came here on an F-1 and she was an F-2. I included her in all the applications, filled out by my husband and by me and filled out a separate I-130 for her but not a I-485.

This is not legal, but just advice from my own experience - I filed for my child, too, albeit concurrently and we were not out of status[/COLOR]QUOTE] . Thank you. I appreciate your help. We were not out of status either. I was an F-1 student - still is, I mean still studying - but my daughter...

So you think that if I filed, being a GC holder only, her case would drag on because of her status or even worse, she might get rejected? I don't know why the attorney suggested not filing for her. I feel like an idiot because i did what the attorney suggested without questioning it and now I...

I included my daughter initially in all of the applications as being a dependent. Still she is now out of status because my husband is a USC not a GC holder?

Thank you. In the original I-864 my husband sponsored me but I did a joint sponsorship I-864A for my daughter. As I am getting child support from her father I didn't want to make my husband legally liable. Could I just fill out the I-485 for her, that I am sponsoring her or should I just make...

But you don't need to pay $80.00 for 14 or under? Does that mean its free for kids? The Immigration Officer suggested that it's not me but my husband who petitions for my daughter, any idea why? I remember her "out of status" question coming up to what he replied: "if your husband files for...

I filed everything for her except for a separate I-485. I didn't realize it was the norm since you list all your dependents on the original I-485. When I got the rejection letters for I-130, I-765 and I-131 under her name I called an attorney. She mentioned filing a separate I-485 so she would...

Yes, a piece of paper that is sectioned into 3 parts; application, license and certificate of marriage with a red stamp on the bottom.

Do kids get interviewed when filed independently? I know they don't need fingerprinting but I was told, once a I-485 is generated an IL is also sent out. So if my husband takes his stepdaughter to the interview what questions do they ask from an 8 year old? :confused:

yes, one for myself. initially i filed 2 x I-130 and my daughter's got rejected so my immigration attorney said i should just wait for mine to come through first.

So I found out today that i should have filed for my daughter - 8 years of age - separately. I got my green card approved but not my daughter's. The IO recommended that i file for her but then i told him that my daughter would be spending a year abroad leaving next June. He said that it was...

Now that i re-read the letter, I can see that the custodial papers will do. :D We have that. My husband doesn't have his son's the birth certificate, he would have had to get it from the ex. We still have time till the interview but I was worried we may forget something or not get things...
