YES... if arriving on K-4 an I-130 is needed to adjust status in the future anyway... If you change from "K" to IR/CR then the daughter is "screwed" because of the change. Cover your options

YMMV

Yes, your stepdaughter will need an I-130 to receive a green card. By not filing one, the CR/IR visa is not possible for her. Rin and her children came on K-3/K-4. I had only submitted the I-130 for Rin, so had to file I-130's concurrently with the I-485 when we filed for AOS.

10/02/2007 - K-4 Interviews - approved

AOS
