Do I need to file a separate I-130 for children? (topic split)

Following Iqbalipel question, if his wife received green card, is there any way to apply k3/k4 or visit visa during i130 approval?

meaning - 

Husband - Citizen

Wife - Green Card Approved

what about kids? I understand need to apply i130, during this process. Can we apply k3-k4 visa or b1/b2 visa since kids are under 5 years old

Yes, of course you need to file I-130 for children. You won't get the K3/K4 visa, they don't issue those any more. If wife has the immigrant visa, best to get it activated, file for I-131 returning resident permit and then she goes back to her home country until the kids' cases are scheduled for interview.

Yes, and I130 will be needed for each child.  You say both the "if the wife received GC", and the "GC was approved"  What does that mean?  Where in the process is the wife?

 

Good Luck!
