I130 For Step Child already in USA

[gaDiaz 0]

Hi

 

My wife(US Citizen) filled out a petition for me 1 year ago, I already have my GC. Now we want to fill a petition for my two kids(her stepsons)

They're 11 and 12 years old and they already are in USA with B1/B2 Visitor visa

Do we need to fill out the form i-765 for them?

what does it mean  Proof of stepchild/stepmom relationship or bona fide parent child relationship? What kind of docs is this?

Do I need to send any documentation about me or put in my name in some form? 

 

Regards

It will be faster if your wife petitions for your children as their step-parent. 

 

Proof of stepparent-stepchild relationship would be your marriage certificate. 

 

It's a good idea to also file I-765s (and I-131s) for them as that's the only way they'll be able to receive a Social Security number before their green cards are approved. Obviously at that age they're not going to be doing any actual working.

Hi,

 

Sorry to be asking on the same thread (we are also preparing our AOS paperwork for both myself and my daughter), but: does anyone know if do we need to fill in a separate form I-864 for my daughter?

 

The instructions for this form says:

Quote

Part 3. Information About the Immigrants You Are Sponsoring Item Number 1. Indicate whether you are sponsoring the principal immigrant listed in Part 2. of Form I-864. Select “No” if you are sponsoring only intending immigrants listed in Part 3., Item Numbers 3.a. - 27. and not the principal immigrant listed in Part 2. This only applies if you are sponsoring family members in Part 3. as the second joint sponsor. Item Number 2. Family Members. The immigrant you are sponsoring may bring a spouse and/or children to the United States. If the spouse and/or children will travel with the immigrant, or within six months of the immigrant’s entry into the United States and you are sponsoring them, you should list the names and other requested information in the spaces provided. If any dependents are not immigrating, will immigrate more than six months after the sponsored immigrant arrives in the United States, or you are not sponsoring them, do not list their names here. A separate Form I-864 is required for them when they apply for their immigrant visas. Item Numbers 3.a. - 27. Provide the requested information about each family member

 so my personal understanding is that form I-864 is only required for myself? Or?

 

Thank you for any advice.
