I-184 or I-184W for IR2

[Sherlock23 17]

I am petitioning my stepson. I am starting to gather the documents needed for the NVC stage. Do I fill out an I-184 or I-184W? I am a USC and my wife is permanent resident.

hi

 

you will file the i864, if you were his biological parent then you would file the i864W, because when he entered the country he would derive your citizenship

 

he can't derive citizenship through a stepparent
