Are the kids with her or abroad?

Did the 18 year old turn 18 before or after the wedding?

What visa did she come in on and how long ago?

She got married in 2009 in US to an US citizen.She came by tourist visa .Her children were 15,14 and 13 when she got married here.The kids were in Brazil and never came to US.When her husband applied for her green card,he could not apply for her children in same time,because the kids father did not want to give authorization for them to live here.But just now,the kids father gave authorization and they have passports,everything.So my friend wants to know who will be the petitioner,she or her husband because when they got married,the kids were 15,14 and 13 years old.What forms ? How long the kids will be here? Thanks

Read the Guides (button at top of this page).

US citizen stepparent files separate Form I-130 for the children to start with. The I-130 is the first step. As things progress, three will a few more forms; I-864, DS-230, etc.
