Kids on i129f

[Alondino 2]

Hello everyone- still trying to perfect my petition here. So my fiance from Dominican republic, he has a very young son. The son stays with his mother and will not be coming to the US with his father. Should I still include him on our petition? Or not because he will not be coming? Thanks in advance!

Include him on the petition if there is a slight chance that he may follow within a year of the beneficiary's visa approval. If not then leave him off. Of course, the beneficiary would need to follow the law as to whether he can take the child to the US which is something you may want to check now before it's too late. If the mother is not going to give permission then this issue is mute. Good luck.

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

You list ALL regardless of immigrating or not

Thank you- should I maybe just write separately our situation to avoid confusion?

I was wrong, you should include them on the I-129f as it is a question that needs an honest answer. Sometimes we have a tendency to overthink these forms to what is behind the question. I find it better to answer the question without reading into it. If the need additional information they will send you and RFE (request for evidence) if they have any questions. Not many get denied so do the best you can.

No confusion as it is not an uncommon situation

List all children on the petition, per the instructions.

 

If he won’t be coming along, you just don’t do anything with it afterwards.

This is correct.  Unless you fill out and pay the DS-160 fee for them and get the medical, they should not be a consideration.
