i feel envy with people here announcing their petitions getting approved left and right as someone said that line... u guys are so lucky.
im a permanent resident here. i arrived here 4 months ago.. and ive been missing my girlfriend and kids so bad. we are not married and i cant figure out how to petition them.. pls help me.
i am visiting philippines next year and i wonder if im marrying her then file a petition when i get back here? or is it advisable i wait for me to be US citizen then marry her and petition them which is 5 years from now... i dont know which way to go. which one is faster? im longing for them everyday... i got two boys thats waitin for me to play with them. im like a kid crying all the time.
i didnt marry her because of this visa i needed to stay single. that was my case...im sure someone does too.
im not sure if this is the right room... but i need to let it out.
Full Version: Pls help me...Im a father of 2

Once you and your fiance are married, you, as a lawful permanent resident, may petition her using an I-130. Permanent residents may not petition non-related persons. Also, your children may be included in the filing for your spouse.

You will petition her as a spouse of an LPR (F2)
QUOTE
Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. (114,200) At least seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will go to the spouses and children; the remainder will be allocated to unmarried sons and daughters.
Once you Naturalize you can have the petition changed to an IR-1
QUOTE
Immediate Relatives of U.S. Citizens (IR): The spouse, widow(er) and unmarried children under 21 of a U.S. citizen, and the parent of a U.S. citizen who is 21 or older.
