Question: Step-Son with no Passport

[Waiting4ever2024 0]

I am USC petitioning for my NRA step-son who is 6 yrs old (turns 7 on Oct.7, 2024). I-130 on my.uscis.gov

But he does not have any Passport at present.

 

**Should I #1 or #2 👇

 

(1) Submit the I-130 NOW and upload the Passport as "Unsolicited Evidence" when it's issued, which will be about 1–2 months from now?

• or -

(2) WAIT to submit the I-130 until the Passport has been issued.

The I 130 is to confirm your relationship to the beneficiary.  If he doesn’t have a passport yet that is not a problem.   File the I 130. Get the passport.  It will be needed at the NVC stage which is probably 12+ months away
