Hello,
I am a US citizen by birth, married my wife (Canadian citizen) while she was living in the US. The tricky issue is my wife overstayed her student visa when we were married, exactly how long she over stayed I'm not sure but I know it was over a year.
My wife has since left the country and is back in Canada, I'm still here in the US and trying to get her back in the country by applying for a green card.
The tricky part is we have 2 step-children. The eldest step-daughter is Canadian as she was born in Canada and came to the US when she was less than a year old with her mom. My younger step-daughter was born in the US and is a citizen by birth. Both step-daughters are in Canada with their mom.
My question (after giving the background) is do I need to file a seperate I-130 for my Canadian step-daughter (she is 13) or can she just be listed as a dependent child on my wife's application?
