Hello

I am a US citizen filling out the I-130 for my husband. But I need to know if I should be filling out a separate form (with separate fees) for his young son or if I just list him as a dependant at this time. The form does ask to list our children. I have looked through the forums on here, and I am getting different information. We live in London and will be filing DCF.

Thank you!

http://www.visajourn...ontent/childpet I did find this page. I am now under the impression that I have to file a separate form for him.

I 130 page Yep, got to file for each beneficiary. Listed under note on the top of first paragraph. Best of luck and you came to the right place for help. There will always be someone able and willing.

Great, thank you! I wonder if you can answer this question as well: Do I need to send in G-325A forms at this time or wait for the next round?

Thanks again for your swift reply.

You file separate I-130 for each person. Yes, please include all the I-130 requirement together - there is no next round for I-130.

The next round is a process at National Visa Center, after your I-130 petitions are approved. At NVC, you will submit I-864 (affidavit of support) and DS-230 (Actual Visa application).

Please download and carefully study the instructions for the I-130. It will tell you which supporting documents are needed for spouse and which are needed for a step child. Careful study of the actual instructions is critical to your ultimate success. Without doing so, you'll never know WHAT you don't know.

Thanks for simplifying that. I am still wading through all the details before filing the petiton. I do appreciate your response. :)

Yes, good point! Thanks for the advice. I have been reading the instructions, but I'm sure I'm not finished asking questions. :)

Careful study of the instructions first will help you know what to ask.
