Thank you for guiding me on this process. I already paid all the fees and submitted DS-260. I also declared my son on the affidavit of support form or I-864. I will be submitting my civil and financial documents with the I-864. I have another question, do i need to include my CENOMAR or Certificate of no marriage with the documents that im about to mail to the NVC? I know someone same with my case that they have a letter telling to bring CENOMAR on the interview only. Which one is the correct process? Submit with documents or bring it on interview?

 

Thanks.

 

Here is the info for NVC   https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Supporting_documents.html

 

You will need the CENOMAR/CEMAR for the interview for sure.   This info might help

Hello everyone, my husband filed for i-130, and to the best of our knowledge we thought we filed for the whole fam, me(wife of a us citizen) and our 8y/o and 6y/o kiddos(kids of us citizen) but in our iv fee, it says there $325 only so it means only one person.. how can we include in our kids in the petition? All we know they are included in the case.. it took 10mos to approved our case..is there a chance to include them to immigrate with me? Please help..

Did you file an separate I-130 petition for each child?  That is how you include them.  They can not be included in your petition.

Children can only be included as derivatives on the I-130 IF the petitioner is an LPR  (green card) and NOT a USC.   Strange how USCIS does that, but those are the rules.
