Hello All,

I was hoping someone can shed some light on my situation. I just got married in Colombia and I want to bring over my wife's 2 children. I opted to use the i-130. I have called the uscis center and rec'vd mix responses. My question is will I have to file and i-130 for each of her daughters? They are both under the age of 18. I understand if I chose the i-129f I would be able to do so under one petition. Please help

You've opted? As if you have a choice in the matter.

RTFM, it's quite clear.

Hi Chill...

If you go the route of the I-130 then yes you must file a separate petition for your wife and EACH of her daughters...3 petitions in all. After you receive the Noa#1 from the I-130 filed for your wife you may file the I-129f and her daughters can be included on that petition and be eligable for k-4 visas...this can be done without first filing a I-130 on the daughters; however at some point you will have to file I-130s on them in order to adjust their status here in the states. My wife has one daughter and I opted to file both I-130s now...it will just save time and aggravation down the line. Hope this helps...:)
