My wife and step-daughter arrive on Friday on a K-3/K-4 visa. I have already downloaded and completed the AOS and EAD forms for both. I read the step-by-step directions for the AOS and it indicates that K-3 holders should send the NOA2 for the I-130. I have that. However, I did not file for step-daughter's I-130 until two months after my wife (November) and, thus, do not yet have an NOA2 for her. I do have an NOA1.

Thus the question: Must I have an NOA2 for my step-daughter before I filed for AOS? Or can I file for AOS for my wife and step-daughter simultaneously because my wife already has an NOA2 for her I-130....and my step-daughter came on a derivative visa from my wife's K-3?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Neither a K3 nor a K4 needs an approved I-130 to apply for adjustment of status. For my wife and son, K3 and K4 respectively, I submitted the I-130 Receipt Notices and a surrogate for the I-129f Approval Notice (because an I-129f Approval Notice was never issued).
