Are you petitioning for your step child alone or is the child coming with someone. Who is immigrating with the child/has already immigrated here? Child's bio mom or dad? How old is the child?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I am petitioning for my wife and my step daughter. She is the bio Mum. I am her stepdad. They will be travelling together so I am sending them in the same packet but as two separate petitions. The child is 14 years old. No one has immigrated yet, hopefully they will come together

Thanks again

Ok...

G-325A is not necessary for the child. Passport pictures are a must. If you have regular pictures of all three of you together, that is a plus.
