DS 230

[La_nena26 0]

Hi All,

Here comes a question in regards to form DS 230, question 21b... Do I need to write my step-child's name on question 21b, although I have not petitioned for her yet? I am pretty sure I will, but once my husband comes to the USA.

Note: DS-230 is filled out by the immigrant, and yes the immigrant still lists their children on the form.

My husband, the intending immigrant, will definitevly complete the form (sorry I did not write it correctly). He has listed his daughter as the answer to question 19. But... should he put her name as the answer to 21b, even if I have not completed an I-130 for her yet? I will probably file a petition for her in 2 years or so.

Thank you!!

Yes list on 21b she will be following to join at a later date.

Note, US citizen can file I-130 for a step child if marriage took place BEFORE the child's 18th birthday, and the visa must be issued and used before their 21st birthday.
