I-130 Bringing Stepdaughter to the US

[pulteseller 0]

Hello!

My wife is now here in the US. She came over on a K1 fiancee visa, and we've since been married and filed for AOS (mailed AOS docs overnight on 6/26/07). Now, we need to start the paperwork to bring her daughter over. I've included her daughter on all the paperwork up to this point, so it should be a smooth process, right???

Can someone point me in the right direction on where to begin? Thanks in advance!

Check with consulate, they may be holding a K-2 for her depending on her age.

If outside the parameters for K-2, then file I-130 for a relative, they will be considered to be F2 class.

Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. (114,200) At least seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will go to the spouses and children; the remainder will be allocated to unmarried sons and daughters.
