What is follow to join and how it works?

[MSSF 8]

Hello,

 

we are working on i-864 an there is an option of follow to join.

 

what happens if we select follow to join option?

 

Do we pay fee now?

 

Do we need sponsor now? 
 

What happens after principal applicant is here in USA and we WANT to bring derivative here? 

 

WHAT paperwork we will have to do?

 

how long more does it take to get visa?

 

do they get interviewed with principal or later?

 

is it a good option?

 

whats your experience in follow to join?

I suppose it could be logical in very specific circumstances, why do you want to consider it?

We have 4 families we are filling affidavit of suppti-864 for. 4 applicants have 3 or 4 derivative members under each applicant. We were thinkiNg to bring pricipal applicant here and then do follow to join for derivavtes so they come after six months when principal is already settled. Thats why i am asking. Consulted with lawyer but not clear answer. Thats why i am wondering consequences for choosing follow to join

I have not seen her for a while but her Husband is Nigerian and had 21 siblings, they sponsored them in phases, prioritized the ones with the best US Earnings capability so they could help sponsor the later waves.
