I-864 for Father (split)

[KAJIEKA 0]

Hello Mike

 

My name is Ivan and you seems to be person I need. I was searching forum for information on I864 and your answers and explanation cought my attention. I hope you would be so kind to clarify couple things about those forms.

 

I'm US citizen who's trying to bring my family to US. My father has a new family now and his I-130 was approved(but not his wife). He's coming with 16 years old daughter (my stepsister). How do you think, which I-864 I need to file?

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Sincerely

 

Ivan.

1. How old were you when he married his wife?

 

2. Who filed I-130?

There are no derivatives for parents of U.S. citizens. She will not be immigrating when he does. He can file I-130 for her after he becomes an LPR. Category is F2A which has a 9 year wait.

 

As she is over age 16, he in will not have enough time to naturalize under the 5 year rule and upgrade her I-130. 
 

3. How old is he?
 

If he enlists in the U.S. military, he can file immediately for U.S. citizenship. He would become a U.S. citizen well before she reaches age 21. If so, her CSPA age will be locked in at under age 21.
