i130 for sister

[Mill&bill 131]

I am US Citizen and like to apply i130 for my married sister. I know its going to take more than 15 years. Can I just apply i130 for her right now and once her PD would be current after 15 years than add her husband and two babies names or should I add her husband and babies name right now in the petition? 

 I would prefer to apply only for her right now if I can but I want to make sure its not going to be problem to add her babies in petition in future. I appreciate if someone can guide me.

I-130 wants her spouse’s and children's’ information. Failure to mention this is:

* perjury (you have to sign I-130 under penalty of perjury)

* a potential material misrepresentation: the embassy will want to know where this spouse and these children came from that you claimed did not exist when you filed I-130

Why?

oh i see, Actually her babies birth certificates have wrong spellings of one parent name and they need to correct it or make new birth certificates of babies which gonna take two or three month or may be more thats why I was thinking to apply for her and add derivatives after some time.

Why?

do I need to attach spouse and children birth certificates with i130 or just my sister birth certificate , my birth certificate, Citizenship proof , my parents marriage certificare would be enough??

Her husband and children are potential derivatives, and the instructions do not seem  to mention a requirement for the birth certificates of derivatives for I-130.

Derivatives' birth certificates will be required at NVC stage, 15+ years or so from I-130 filing date.  More than enough time to get the birth certificates corrected.

A corrected birth certificate can be issued in a few weeks.  You have plenty of time to get this fixed before applying.

Those 2 babies may be adults and married with children of their own by the time she is approved.
