[algarve 0]

Hi all VJ members.

We have hired a lawyer in the US to help us the immigration process, he give us the price for 3 people, me and my 2 daughters with 20 and 16 years, when we send all the necessary docs that he did ask to to start this process, and me make all payments.

When I married my husband my kids were 18 and 15 years, we did not know how it was this process, now after I did get approved together with my youngest daughter, my oldest daughter did got denied and I did not know why at that moment, why she was denied, but know i know why she did got denied, all this it should not have happen if this lawyer had told us from the beginning that my daughter was not qualified for this tip of visa, because of her age, he did not give us any explanation how it was the rules about who had rights like the law says, for husband apply for a 18 years old, I am very sad because he did all this with knowledge he have miss lead us, he knew from the beginning how should he have done, because if he had told us all of this from the beginning we could have done her application on same time as mine.

Now here I am I went to the embassy make my interview we did approved me and my youngest daughter, PLS can someone tell me if I can take my daughter with me to US. And start this process wile we are there, she will travel with WVP, b2 visa, is this possible to do because I can't leave my kid here in SW by her self and she have to wait almost 9 month until the USCIS approves and send the NVC and then to the US embassy here in SW.

About this lawyer I will take take of him when I gonna be on the US, I have already fire him because of all this damage that the has done to me and my family, I will sue him, because is not correct from him to make all this mess when he did now about the age of my kids I did ask him all questions by email on how to do to bring my kids with and I told him about their age.

where, in the process, was that 3rd petition/visa denied?

I-130, NVC, Interview ?

also - do you really have a K-3 visa stamp in yer passport, or is it something else ?

IMO, if you have a K-3, is possible to get a K-4 for that child but ...

what was the reason for the denial, and at what stage ?

ah - i get it now - the CR-2 visa or IR-2 visa on her was denied because she was 18 at the time of marriage.

That's a slippery slope, if it was a K-4 visa, instead (because you were chasing after a K-3 visa), then the age thingie is 21.

The older daughter was 18 when the marriage took place, so that's why her I-130 was denied. Unfortunately, there is no viable immigration path for her that would be based on your marriage to a US Citizen. The lawyer should have known this. Here is the applicable instruction from the I-130 instructions.

8. Stepparent/Stepchild: If your petition is based on a stepparent-stepchild relationship, you must file your petition with a copy of the marriage certificate of the stepparent to the child's natural parent showing that the marriage occurred before the child's 18th birthday, copies of documents showing that any prior marriages were legally terminated and a copy of the stepchild's birth certificate.
