Filipina Mom Seeking Advice

[best_mom 0]

Hi VJer's

I'm a newbie here in VJ and seeking advice I hope anyone else or same situation here can help me !

I came here in the US thru my husband (fiance visa) and we are so happy living together now...

During my petition my husband did not put my daughters name in the appropriate blank, he thought that we can

petition her later,and we dont really know that she can join the petitions

My question is.... is there any chance for me to petition my daughter who is 13 years old now?

Any advice you all could give me would be much appreciated

Thanks

so your husband lied when on the petition where it asks for him to declare any children that you have?

one way to find out... have the hubby submit the I-130 to start with

[NArocks 13]

Yes for sure submit the I-130. I thought however by her posting in the PI forum it may bring her a clearer picture.

No he did not intend to lie, during my petition we did not know that she can join the petition and since we have no plan

to bring my daughter here at that time , we thought that we can petition her anyway later

the question on the I-129 petition is the following:

13. List all children of your alien fiance(e) (if any)

It says nothing about joining on the petition....question 13 is part of the section titled "Information about your alien fiance(e)".

Your husband can fill out an I130 for your daughter and initiate the process now, I'm just not sure what whether this question will come up and be asked at the consulate at the time of the interview...why at the time of you petition that was left blank, but now there is a child.

ignorance, innacurate filing or an error of ommision... not much difference if you ask me

guys, and thanks you for all of your responsed

my best advice is to get a lawyer.

have you Adjusted Status already? are you a GC holder now?

exactly, what is you legal status in the US... these may play some role in this situation too.

I sure hope it wasn't done to get around the poverty levels because you would not have qualified with her listed because if that is the case I feel there may be problems.

Yes, I'm a green card holder now and in the process of REMOVAL OF CONDITION right now my husband sent the

application for I-751 last week.

not an issue as she would not be included on the affidavit of support until the child was intending to immigrate...
