I 130 for Sister

[IT_1 0]

Hey guys,

I need your valuable input. I am planning to file I130 for my sister. My sister is divorced and has a 9 years old daughter. My question is that, Once I file for my sister and get approval my niece will be able to come with my sister under the same petition???

Thanks,

IT

I am not sure if its the same petition....my guess is probably not.

however because she is a dependant her process is slightly different.

It depends. USC petitioning for a sibling is in the F4 family preference category. According to the Visa Bulletin, those from the Philippines with petitions filed before Oct. 22, 1986 are eligible for visas. It's Sept. 22, 1995 for Mexicans and Feb. 22, 1999 for the rest of the world.

Being eligible for an immigration visa is a two-step process. First, a I-130 has to be approved by USCIS. There is no average time for this; it could take a few months or years. Second, an approved I-130 is forwarded to the NVC to await for an available visa. These are the dates that are listed above.

Derivative beneficiaries (DB) are allowed in the F4 category. So long as a DB's CSPA age is under 21 at the priority date becomes current and is unmarried, the DB qualifies for a visa also along with the primary beneficiary. A DB's CSPA age is equal to the DB's real age on the day the PD becomes current minus the time spent waiting for USCIS to approve the petition.

You did not say where your sister is from, so you will need to do some guessing. There is no way to determine now if your niece will get a visa. It's a calculation that you can get a better feel for as time move along.

You will file one I-130 petition. You would be petitioning for your sister. She would be the beneficiary. Your niece would be a derivative beneficiary.

Look under the "Guides" tab located above this page. Google "derivative beneficiaries." Check out instructions for form I-130. Check out the USCIS's website.
