[Apa1970 0]

Hi ,I’m a USC starting the i130 for my son but need to be in USA in around 13 month  so he can start school ,if I included  my wife ir1 ,will that make the waiting time longer? She can wait if that means my son can begin school on time .

i know it depends a lot on where my i130 goes but not sure if I also add my wife know since I will have to and more paper work.

thank you

Can you not do a Consular Report for birth aboard of a Citizen of the United States?

If the child is not a USC then you must file the I-130. Regardless of including your wife or it, with the current timelines it’s unlikely he will be able to enter the US in 13 months

Hi ,I can’t give then direct citizenship don’t have 2 years after 14, I guess that my sons i130  time might be a bit more? 14 to 16 month?

BUT if I include my wife now will it make it even slower or there’s no difference .

thank you

Your son by birth?  You are a USC by birth or naturalization?

The IR-1 and IR-2 would process together, there would be no time savings to petition one without the other.     And I don't think you will make the 13 month timeline no matter how you decide to proceed.

As for DCF ... the USCIS office has been closed at the embassy so that is not an option.

We did a CR-1 with 2 CR-2s and it was 9 months from filing to POE.  YMMV but it looks like you will need to file the I-130s quickly as there is no DCF in Manila anymore.  Filing CR-2 without CR-1 will not speed the process.
