Filing I-130 for Spouses Child

[Kozmo 0]

I understand that I have to file separate I-130 forms for my wife and her child. The question is what do I include in the Childs I-130? The checklist says to include the payment, cover letter, I-130 form, G-325 forms for me and the child along with passport type photos. Do I have to include my marriage certificate to her mother, my divorse decree and evidence of a bona fide marriage since this is already included in the mother's I-130?

Thanks,

Tony

In addition to all the above documents add:

Submit a copy of the child's birth certificate showing both parents' names and your marriage certificate.

If your petition is based on a stepparentstepchild relationship, you must file your petition with a copy of the marriage certificate of the stepparent to the child's natural parent showing that the marriage occured before the child's 18th birthday, and copies of documents showing that any prior marriages were legally terminated.
