I-130 for a stepchild

[bsoraya 6]

Hi everyone, 

 

My husbandd is applying for an i-130 for my 12 yo child. What forms other than the i-130 must be sent? Should he send an affidavit of support with the i-130? 

Thank you

No additional forms for a stepchild.  Your husband should download and become an A-Student of the I-130 instructions.

Just got the petition approved from NVC a couple weeks ago. This was for my 13 year old stepson in Vietnam

For the I130 We sent:

Parents Joint Home Ownership in USA

Completed I130

I130 Cover letter

Evidence of Marriage to his mother

Child Birth Certificate (translated)

Evidence of Financial Support to the child

Proof on my (USC) citizenship

Proof of Step Parent child relationship (photos etc.)

Parents Joint Checking Account and Home ownership

 

STILL took a little over 2 years to ge to NVC
