Ir-1/Cr-1 vs K-3 how to filing

[Danny Boy 0]

Hello. We started to do the paperwork. We are going to do 3 petitions. On the I-130 they ask about the relationship of the people that we are submitting petition for. Perhaps a stupid question but should his new wife's daughters be listed as step daughters or just daughters. I guess I never knew if there is a difference ( in a legal sense) in a new marriage between an adopted daughter, a step daughter, daughter or a step daughter. We are trying to get all the answer correct the first time. Thanks Danny Boy

Hello again, Still working on the paperwork. A couple of questions. On the G-325 a, Biographic information form, since we are doing 3 separate petitions. One for the wife and two other I-130 for her daughters. How many Biographic information form do I we actually fill out? I was thinking one for the husband and one for the wife and that should be it. But thinking about it I now think that we actually do two more for the daughters.

When we send the whole I-130 packet in. I can include them all together, right? All in one envelop. One check for $1260 or is it supposed to be 3 separate checks for $420 a piece?

Sorry for a seemingly simple question but we would like to get it right the first time.

I guess that Chinese have next week off. Celebrating their National Day. Like our 4th of July.

G-325A - 4. One on the petitioner, then the other 3 humans. I keep thinking there's a cut off age, if under that, no G-325A needed.

Darnell, Thank you for your reply. We pretty much have the Husband's and Wife's done. We now have to start on the daughters'. I will check on the age requirements for the G-325. The two daughters are around age 17 and age 14 I think.

At times most things seem to make sense and at other times things seem to get muddled a bit. With you all's help things are getting clarified. This time I am filing most of the information on the computer instead of printing the form and filing things in by hand. In the past I have done it by hand. I like the new method. I have such bad handwriting. Also I can cut and paste the Chinese characters where it is asked for. I am trying to save the information with adobe. That is not going as smoothly as I would like but I can work with it.

Thank you again.

PS. Note to myself: For future reminding. There are immigrant and non-immigrant type visa's. Sometimes I forget this fact. Remembering this may help explain why we fill out this form instead of that form. Now I have to figure out what is the difference between dealing with Vermont vs Portsmouth ( at least I think it is still Portsmouth). Something to do with the difference between USCIS, Homeland Security, NVC ( National Visa Center?) and /or immigration.
