RE: OMG I NEED HELP!!

[Boo Rowe 9]

Good Morning! VJ Family I am in need of the most season VJ member or members to assist with this matter because, I am totally freaking out now We submitted the I-130 back in June 2015 we have received the NOA2 and now the paperwork is heading to NVC. Which everything is fine but, I am now worried after reading another member's post of their step children. I listed my stepson on my husband's application but, it seems that I should have submitted an whole separate application for my stepson as well. Can someone please let me know if this is true or not because, he is an minor only 10 years of age and if I was suppose to I've totally messed up and NEED HELP ASAP!!! to know what steps I need to take. Thank you in advance!! I'm hoping I am not stressing too much.

Yes, a separate petition needs to be filed for the child. File now and ask for an expedite (not sure one will be grated due to your error but you never know). In the mean time, delay the father's case at NVC

good luck

Yep, you'll need to submit a separate I-130 and petition for your step-son. As said above, you can request an expedite and wait until his petition is approved to continue processing your spouse's case at NVC.

Once the cases get to NVC, you can have them linked so interview date can be scheduled together.

Yeah, you can definitely do that. Make sure that you as a USC file because if your husband files then as a LPR, its a 2 year wait.

Thank you! so much for all of your help with this matter. I will speak to my husband and inform him. I just didn't want to alarm him until I had all fact. I clearly didn't know. Thanks again Teeak

Who will the child stay with when your husband immigrates? Do you have the mother's permission for the child to move?

good luck

[Boo Rowe 9]

of course he has permission...... yes all three of us have sat and spoke about this I just fell to realize that it need to be 2 petitions and not just the one. I am working on paperwork as we speak. Than you

Good Afternoon! Yes, we are at the NVC stage paperwork should have reached there by now. I am not using a lawyer to cut cost. I did add him on the petition that I submitted for my husband but, once I received the NOA2 I got worried because, nothing came listed with his name just my husband's name. And that's when I got worried and made the inquire here on VJ.
