I-130 I want to apply for my wife and step-child Help
Hello to every one, I am new in this site and I want to thank you for all your help in this process.
I am a Green Card Holder and in the next 2 years I will apply for my citizenship, I know that after I became a US citizen everything will be come a little bit faster ( getting my wife and step-child ) to the US.
But for now I want to start the process and file form I-103 with the Immigration
Note: A visa petition (Form I-130) is only used to demonstrate a qualifying relationship. An approved petition DOES NOT grant any benefit except to create a place in line for visa processing.
I just got Married and my question is :
Do I need to file from I-130 for my wife and step-child separate or just filling one for my wife would be fine? and add my step-child along with her application.
On question 17 from I-130(C. Information about your alien relative)
17. List husband/wife and all children of your relative.
Also on the immigration web site says:
Instructions for I-130, Petition for Alien Relative says:
2. If you are a lawful permanent resident of United States, you may file this form for:
A. Your husband or wife;
B. Your unmarried child under age 21;
C. Your unmarried son or daughter age 21 or older.
3. If your relative qualifies under paragraph 2(B) or 2(C) above, separate petitions are not required for his or her unmarried children under 21 years of age.
4. The persons described in number 2 and 3 of the above NOTE will be able to apply for an immigrant visa along with your relative.
It also say: to apply
Step-parent (step-mother or step-father)
1-A copy of your step-child’s birth certificate issued by civil authorities
2-A copy of your civil marriage certificate to your step-child’s biological parent
3-Proof of the legal termination of all previous marriages for you and/or the biological parent (divorce decree, death certificate, annulment decree)
Can anyone here answer my question?
Thank you in advanced.
