i filed i 130 petition for my wife under CR1 visa and i also filed I130 petition separately fror each of my 3 under 21 years old sons. I know that they are covered under my wife as dependents. Each of them has nvc case number now, and of course each of them i have to pay the IV fee bill which 380 dollars each, i'm thinking should i really have to pay for all of them when my wife's immigrant visa covers the dependents?

Hi pepen,

Are you american? If you are, why are you applying for visas for your children? Can´t they get an american passport?

Unfortunately I can´t answer your other questions since I don´t have children. Maybe you should call the NVC or a lawyer for better information.

pepen,

Your wife's visa covers your wife. Each son needs their own visa. They are your stepsons, not your biological sons, correct?

Or, if they are your biological sons, they do not qualify to derive US citizenship from you?

Your wife's immigrant visa does not cover the sons as well. They each need their own immigrant visa and therefore each need to apply for and pay their own immigrant visa fee.

I am assuming that in fact the children are his wife's sons. If they are your biological sons, then they may be eligible for US Citizenship... but we would need more details to figure that out...
