Hi there

All you have to do for your son is to send in thew same application that you are sending in for yourself so one set of paperwork for you and one for him you can put it all in the same envelope (I did for my son and it took us all of 5 months from date we sent it in to date of greecard in hand and we had a rfe) all i did was copy everything I used for evidence on my claim and attatched it to my sons (birth certificates, marriage certificate etc).

good luck with it all

donna

Almost done with it all

Yes, the procedure is the same for K4 as K3. If no approved I-130, you'll need to file that too. I'd file it all together. You'll need three separate checks.

Thank you pushbrk, so I file an I-130 for my son, AOD & EAD for both of us. Do I not have to wait for NOA1 & NOA2's for his I-130?

I-130 is filed first or concurrently. No need to wait for the NOA1. Like I said, file them all together with three separate checks. Treat each petition or application as a separate submission but put them all in the same envelope.

Not having file the I-130 for the child long ago will delay the AOS process and possibly result in two separate interviews.
