Hello,

We are ready to file a I-130 for step-child. My husband is the USC and I'm the mother of the 15 old boy. I've completed the I-130 and have all the documents, proof of USD citizenship, BC for the child, divorce decrees for both of us etc.

Do we need a I-864 (affidavit of support) at this time? I've read on the forums that this form is filed later.

I don't want to miss anything as we want my son to come to the US ASAP. :wacko:

Thanks for your help!

Yes, it will be requested later after the I-130 is petition, and it has been transferred to the National Visa Center for processing.

You can refer to the EZ Guide for Spouses; the steps are similar for children/dependents of US citizens. Am assuming your husband is filing as the petitioner (based on stepparent-stepchild relationship)?

You also need to include a copy of your marriage certificate (to show marriage to your current husband).

Yes, I assumed that there would be something like this. I guess I just have to wait until they ask for it. I have a good relationship with my ex and the father of my boy, so this won't be a problem. Thanks for your quick reply! :)
