Help me clarify

Hello, can someone clarify if the followings are correct:

Accompanying family member of principal applicant: family member on the same visa petition with the principal applicant and they come to US together.

Following-to-join family member of principal applicant: family member on the same visa petition with the principal applicant but comes to US within the six months after principal applicant arrives US.

If a family member filed separate I-130, he CANNOT be either an accompanying family member or following-to-join family member. He himself is the principal applicant in his own case and needs to file a separate visa petition.

Thanks a lot.

Yes, each one is their own principal applicant. As far as I know with the I-130 (CR1/IR1) route there is no such thing as an accompanying or following to join family member. Other visas may have accompanying children that derive status, but not the immediate relative visa.

I asked this same question in a phone conversation with USCIS. The lady told me to put my name on that line.

Which line you refer to? On which form?
