I just received this letter from NVC saying the following:

" The Immigration and Nationality Act does not allow derivative status to family members of immediate relatives. IR1,CR1,CR2, and IR5 classification are immediate relative visa categories. This mean that a spouse, unmarried child under the age of 21 and a parent of a U.S citizen require their own individual petition in order to immigrate to the U.S"

I'm sponsoring my wife and son, Does above statement refer to my son? He is a US citizen, I got him citizenship when he was born in Vietnam. Thank you for your help.

If your son is a US citizen, you do not need to file paperwork for him. On your application for your wife(?) did you also put him down? If you did, and there was no need to, that his why they sent this letter to you.

Thank you for quick response. On my I-864 I put down his name on the part where it says how many people I'm sponsoring.

If your son is a citizen of the US then you would not be "sponsoring" him. He would most likely be classified as a dependent child.

Yikes - how many I-130 petitions did you fill out?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
