I-130

[tipu12345]

My freind filled I-130 (relative immigration petition) when he was a permanent resident (green card holder), for his wife. Now he is US citizen. What forms are needed to change the category for I-130.
Second question, he has two kids. Do he need to file separately i-130 for his kids. Someone told me that if someone is permanent resident then with spouse petition, kids also gets visa but if someone becomes US citizen kids don;t get automatic visa, as now kids are us citizen. What forms he should fill so that kids can come to USA when his wife gets visa. Thanks

It is true. When you become a US citizen, your children need a seperate petition. It will take another 1 year to process. just be patient.

Your friend should file I-130s for his children and then begin processing of a Form I-129F. This is K3 and K4 for your spouse and children - which is a visa that will allow them to come to the USA to live with you until their adjustment of status applications have been completed/processed. If you go this route, you cannot do consular processing and must file with USCIS.

Purpose of Form :
To petition to bring your fiancé(e) and that person's children to the U.S. for marriage to you or to bring your spouse and that person's children (K-3 and K-4 visas, respectively) to the United States to complete processing for permanent resident status (under the LIFE Act and Amendments of 2000).
