Well it has been awhile since I have need the help of the immigration pros here at Visa Journey. It is good to know that I can rely on ya'll for the answers or a point in the right direction. So here is the situation My wife is filipino and came over from Hong Kong on a K-1 Visa. back in Nov 2004 and we were married Dec. 28 2004. At the time my stepson was 13 yr old and still in school with his friends. He is now 16 and is graduated from high school and is ready to come to the U.S. and live with us. What are we to do? Do we file the I-130 or the I-824. Please help to point us in the right direction. Thanks for your help

I filled out the I -130 for my stepson. But it is important that on your original K-1 that you put your stepson's name when you requested for your wife. When I submitted the application for my stepson his name was on the original K-3 form I submitted and it was required to submit a separate I-130 form for my stepson. I looked that the I-824 and I'm not sure if that is the correct form for you, I am not familiar with that form. I hope that this is of some help..

Good Luck :D

Wow, not telling you about a child til after she is with you?...I won't go into that. My hubby recently lodged two i-130's for my daughters, but they were listed on my original k1.

I think you need to contact USCIS and ask some questions. Hopefully someone will come along with the right answer for you.

Good Luck.

The timeline... (Frankfurt) for the kids visas

10/22/2007 Filed I-130 x 2 in person + paid 710 USD (355 each )

10/22/2007 Filed DS-230 part 1 x 2

10/22/2007 Received the document checklist and FRN (case) numbers

12/18/2007 I-130 petition approved, but I didn't know. I was away at the time, didn't get confirmation letters til I got back from the states.

12/20/2007 Notice of Approval arrives in tha mail. According to the date received stamp on back of envelope at my post box.

02/25/2008 Medicals completed.

02/25/2008 Appt letters in mail for appt on March 7th. Cant go due to prior military commitments. Emailed consulate and received an amended appt date of March 12th 2008.

03/12/2008 Visa interview - APPROVED x 2

03/27/2008 Visa's finally generated. I emailed the consulate. they apologised for the delay. They forgot to issue the visas after approval.
