F4-VISA

[MERIC061609 15]

Hello,

 

My husband who is a USC, wants to petition his sister (who is married and with a 1 year old child). What are the forms that need to be submitted. This is what we think we should send:

 

- I-130 petition form

- $420 check

- USC birth certificate

- USC naturalization form

- Sister's birth certificate

- Sister's marriage certificate

- Sister's son birth certificate

 

Questions?

 

Are passports copies for all sister, her husband and baby need to included?

Is I-130 form stating that she has a child is enough to include the child in the F4 visa petition?

What about her husband?- I don't see anywhere in the I-130 form where we have to enter information about her husband

I am concern that we send the package and her husband and child would not be consider for the F4 visa.

 

Please help us!

  There is a long wait for an f4 visa ,, 15 years or so . What needs to be included with the petition is proof the USC is a USC and proof the other person is a sibling.  In 15 years you fill out what children exist and what the husband of that time is.

hi

 

as said, no need for all of that,

 

the i130 only, which costs $535, the cost went up, always check and download the form from the USCiS website

 

and he will only need, proof of citizenship and copy of both birth certificates, if they aren't in English, they need to be translated and attached to the copy in their language

 

that's it, for now . the i130 is to establish relationship between the siblings, there is a sector in the form where it's required to list spouses and children's name of the beneficiary. that's how they will be included in the petition, just the names, no documents needed for the family with the i130

 

all the families civil documents will be needed in over 12 years, it can take 13 or 14 years of waiting, maybe more.

 

who knows really the amount of waiting they will need in over a decade

 

and who will be coming with his sister

Hi,

 

I have a question regarding the fees which will go when we are filing I-130 for Sibling, his spouse and 2 kids.

 

Do we need to attach a check of only $535 or it will be $535 x 2 = $1070 (because i am putting my brother and his spouse and 2 kids)

 

Please confirm as i am in process of submitting the application.

  You are just filing for the sibling so one fee right now , in 15 years or so you pay fees based on who many children exist at that time and any spouse at that time.

Hi,

 

But i will add derivative beneficiaries (His spouse and 2 kids) also in I-130. So i dont need to pay anything extra besides $535 right?

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

Right you are petitioning him.  When the date is current you will correct in necessary the derivative beneficiaries and pay based on that ( they may have more kids or the ones he has may be aged out )

Thanks. What will happen if any of the kid aged out. Will the kid not able to get Gren Card? What is CSPA?

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

if they are aged out they will not come with him.  Depending on the laws at that time they may not have a path to come.   CPSA protect people from aging out for the period of time equal to the time between the receipt of the petition and the approval of the petition ( not the visa )

Sorry for asking too many questions. My Niece is 10 years old and we want to file for F4 visa for my brother. Can you please explain me more about CSPA.  

 

Is it a form or something else which will go with I-130 to protect the children from aging out?

There is no form.  Nothing can be done until the PD becomes current in about 15 years.

 

1.  There are two parts:  1) approval of I-130, and 2) waiting for a visa to become available.

2.  There is no way to control or time approval of the I-130.

3.  Under CSPA, the wait time for approval of the I-130 is not counted against the kids.

4.  The overall wait for an available visa is about 15 years.

5.  So, if it takes 10 years to approve the I-130, then your niece gets an extra 10 years added to age 21 before she ages out.  Under this scenario, your niece's real age in 15 years will be 25.  Her CSPA age would be 25 (real age) - 10 (time for I-130 approval) = CSPA age of 15.

6.  If it takes 1 year, then she only gets an extra year.  Her CSPA age would be 25 - 1 = 24.

7.  There is nothing you can do.  CSPA is automatic and there's no way to control when USCIS will approve the I-130.

Thank you so much. As per my understanding, i do not have to do with CSPA at this point right.

 

Also is there any link which gives step by step instruction to file I-130 for sibling alongwith list of required documents.

There is nothing to do about CSPA until the PD for your SIL becomes current in about 15 years.

 

Google USCIS for the I-130 form and instructions.  Follow the Guides on VJ.
