I-130 for second child

[tapas777 0]

Dear Sir/Madam,

My wife: US citizen, naturalized in 2002, did not fulfill the requirement of US residency of living in USA for 5 years; 2 of which when she was over 14 years-old.

Myself: LPR (GC holder)

1st child: Born in Canada and got US citizenship upon admission to USA according to Child Act 2000

Question is: :wacko:

If we get our second child born in Canada, can we file for I-130 at USCIS in USA or do we have to file for it at US emabassy in Montreal?

Thanks

The answer is still the same. You need to file an I-130 for the child and wait for the process to finish.

You cannot file it in the US embassy in Canada they do NOT process DCF.

Thanks Inky, We did file for our first child at US Consulate General in Calgary. They do accept I-130 petitions and then forward them to US embassy in Montreal to get processed.

They do not process DCF petitions anymore and have not since August 2011.

Do you know how long will it take to approve I-130 petition when received at USCIS centers?

I have another question: My wife did not fulfilled residency requirement to pass US citizenship to our children upon birth, but her mom did.

My mother-in-law was born in USA, lived there for 5 years when she was young, and she lived there for 2 years (non-continous) when she was over 14 years old, can she pass US citizenship for her grand children?

thanks

No she cannot pass citizenship to a grandchild.
