Where Does Petitioner List their Child

[BrittIgbinovia 30]

Hi- I am completing this process on my own and before I send off the packet the last thing I need to make sure I have 100% filled out correctly is the I-130 form. My question is: Where would I put my sons information down from a previous marriage on the app? I am the petitioner and not the foreign national/beneficiary. I had my son, who is now ten, from a previous relationship. I was thinking I should list him under Part 4, page Six 29.a but was not sure that would be correct or required. Please help! This is the last step before I mail everything off.

Previous Children of the petitioner are not listed on the I-130.  Only the current, previous spouses and parents.

 

Children of the beneficiary are listed in that section.  If you have a child with the beneficiary, who you do not transmit citizenship to, list that child.  You also file a separate petition for that child.

I-485 is where you list all the children of  petitioner and beneficiary

Spousal Visas do not usa an I-485 UNLESS they are filing (and adjusting) while the beneficiary is in the US.

The Petitioner NEVER "lists" their children in the Immigrant visa process, but they do "count them" on the I-864 affidavit of support during the NVC stage.
