Nothing has changed.   There are no derivatives for spouses of USCs.   K1/K3 doesn’t apply.   Please refer to USCIS.gov for your info-  you’ll be much better off.

Without an attorney is one thing.  Without reading the instructions is another thing entirely.

Unfortunately, "was told" is a well known source of misinformation.  The correct source is the I-130 instructions.  Time to become an A-Student of those instructions, file the other two petitions, and wait another year or so, for them to be approved.  Then, you proceed with all three at NVC.  In the meantime, stay in contact with NVC to keep your wife's case open.  They need something from you at least once a year.

 

If you were a green card holder instead of a US Citizen, you could have filed just one petition.  Your failure to study the actual instructions, put you in the place you are.  Don't make that same mistake twice.

I appreciate your willingness to offer advice/information but trying to belittle me is NOT helpful [ Your failure to study the actual instructions, put you in the place you are.  Don't make that same mistake twice. ] " Was told" came from an immigration official several years ago and  I have been thru this process years ago, with a step child and I did NOT file a separate case. I was asking on this forum in case someone had been thru it recently. And yes the process is different now due to technology. In any case, I will find the correct Information.

I'm here to help you unify with your family, not to protect your feelings about the mistakes you made.  When you did this before, it was NOT "this process".  It was the fiancée visa process, and not a step child at the time. It was the child of your fiancée. You failed to read the instructions for the petition you filed this time, and made incorrect assumptions because of that.  Now you know that and you know what to do next.  If it help you to vent at me about how the news was delivered, so be it.

I have done this process before successfully without an attorney or problems but it was long ago and I don't recall all the steps. Which is why I came to this forum in the first place- to get insight from other that may have gone thru the same thing. You assume to know everything about my situation and you do not because I haven't disclosed all of my situation here. You don't know what I have done or read. Although I appreciate the help you attempt to give I don't appreciate it coming with a condescending attitude. Thanks anyway and I will end our conversations here. I will find the info I need and my situation will be just fine. No need to reply.

None of what you need to do now is about me.  Carry on.
