wife and 2 kids together in one I-130 form?

[youngdaddy 0]

ok so the I-130 form has gone way too expensive lately and i wonder if i can just petition my wife and 2 kids together in one form? or should they require me to file individually for my wife and separate forms for each kid??? all in all 3 forms you think? thats like 1000+ bucks. any idea thanks

You will need a seperate petition for all, however we need more information. WHat are you filing? CR1 , K1, K3. With this information you may get a lot more help.

My Suggestion is to go the route of the I-130 and do this as either a CR1 or IR1 , and yes you still have to file one for each person ( The I-130 ) , and then you will have the fees by the NVC for each person, which is an addtional 470 or so per person. It is a little expensive but well worth it in the end to have the family together.

You'll need separate petition for each person.

I haven't done this for quite awhile, had to file

I-130 for each person

G-325A for myself

I-864 for myself

Then for each person

I-485

G-325A

I-693, that added up big time

I-765

I-131 but optional if you don't plan to travel for a long time.

Plus all the required proof plus a rather large check, when I read that part if there are any errors your fee would be lost and application returned, elected to hire a good immigration attorney to check everything over before sending it in that was added insurance, then the whole about two inch thick package was sent as once to keep the family together, but forms still got misplaced by the USCIS so when the green cards were finally approved, had different dates. Was recommended to do a I-765 for the kids at school age so they wouldn't have any problems attending and getting them that restricted SS card.

Was good for two years, then the I-751, there the kids could be put on the same form, but 80 bucks extra for each person for the biometrics.

They give you plenty of time to save up money for the next set of forms, one way of looking at the long delays.

yes they're right. U have to file individually. It is recommended by USCIS. It also says in their I-130 instructions. but like what they said it's worthed in the end. goodluck..
