How petition a stepdaugther after i-130 approbal for wife

[mytruelove18 608]

“If you are a permanent resident sponsoring more than one relative, you are not required to file a separate I-130 petition for each relative who qualifies as a “derivative.” A derivative relative would include the children of your foreign national spouse.”

 

Reading this information, i am confuse and i need clarification for a friend.

That information mean that LPR can petition his wife and stepdaugther in one i-130 and only need pay 535 ?

 

a LPR doesnt need pay 535 for his wife and 535 for his stepdaugther?

somebody explain me what that means.

how that work to petition step sons?

 

 

thanks in avance

I am pretty certain you have to submit a separate I130 for the stepdaughter.

 

Good Luck!

You mention K1 so I assume you are a USC so would need to sponsor them individually.

Yes, because your friend is an LPR. He can use one I-130 for his wife and all eligible derivatives. But if he becomes a USC before the derivatives receive IV, then they'll need separate I-130 petitions: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/family-based-immigrant-visas.html "If You Were an LPR and Are Now a U.S. Citizen"

LPR is not  going become usc.

My questions is if a LPR need pay fee for his stepdaugther petition?

Or he only need pay nvc fee?

First of all, how old is the stepdaughter or stepson now? And did the parents marry before the child's 18th birthday?

Your post is confusing.

A LPR filled a petition for his wife.

His wife has a daugther who is stepdaugther of her husband.

The stepdauther is 16 now, was 15 when they married.

He filled i-130 for his wife. But no for stepdaugther.

He want to know : how he petition his stepdaugther after i-130 i approved.?

Dos he need pay 535 fee for stepdaugther?

 

NOTE: HE IS NO BECOME CITIZEN, IT ISNT K1 VISA.

HE IS PERMANENT RESIDENT WITH NO INTENTION OF CITIZENSHIP.

 

i hope somebody who know how petition after approbal help. And please doesnt answer without read my post

What he did is correct. Only 1 i130 for his wife. The stepdaughter will benefit from that as a derivative. No need to file another i130 for stepdaughter. During the NVC stage, he will pay the visa for his wife and stepdaughter (2 payments). And when they get the visa, he will pay the immigrant fee for his wife and stepdaughter (2 payments again) before they fly to the USA.

Yes.

 

Correct. One petition for the spouse, and any eligible stepchildren can use the same petition to apply for a visa as well.

Pay $535 for the I-130 for the spouse. That's it for the petition.

The $325 per visa applicant will be necessary, along with a single $120 fee for review of the I-864. So that's $770 total at NVC if my mental math is right.

Thanks

Then it is 535 for the mother and at nvc 325 for mother and 325 for stepdaugther?

And 120 mother and 120 stepdaugther?

I am confuse because some people say that he needs send a petition for stepdaugther to uscis and pay 535 too.

USCIS:

1 x I-130 for the mother: $535

 

NVC:

2 x IV fees (1 for mother, 1 for stepdaughter): $325 x 2 = $650

1 x I-864 review fee (if processed at the same time): $120

 

Consulate:

2 x medical exams: $Varies by panel physician

 

 

If you were a US Citizen (or planned to become one before their visas are approved), then separate I-130s would be necessary. This is because immediate relatives of a US Citizen do not permit derivatives. Family preference visas do permit derivatives. Your case is F2A (spouse of an LPR), which is a family preference visa.

Edit: Just note that the disadvantage of being an LPR here  is that the process will likely take closer to 2 years to complete versus a year or so for a US Citizen.
