Yes you need I-130 , a DS 156, an I-134 for EACH child, just make two copies of each to be sure..PM me if you have more question I'll be happy to help.

Here's where it gets weird.

yer timeline states yer filing as a K-1 visa holder.

So - each child needs a 'set' for K2 visa.

USUALLY - thats a DS-156, DS-157, a medical exam, for each.

NOT SURE about the I-134, but it can all be evaluated on YOUR interview day.

IF YOU RUSH - ie - you get all ready when the USC person has received the NOA-2 -

then all of you (you plus the 3 children) can be interviewed on the same day.

Usually, a K-1 person sends in THEIR DS-156, DS-157, plus DS-230 part I, and if any children,

a set of DS-156, DS-157 on each child, for a derivate K-2 visa.

Even though the children are LISTED on YOUR I-129F petition, they have to have their own VISA APPLICATION documents (just like YOU DO) to send in to the Embassy in Manila. Thankfully, for you, it's not a whole new petition to be filed at USCIS, but instead, it's a VISA APPLICATION to be filed at the embassy.

If yer not a K-1 visa person, please:

1. let us know and

2. change all of yer settings on this portal to reflect the visa yer applying for.

to wrap up , though -

if someone told you to file for an I-130 petition, and was not a government employee, I would question the validity of the information you've received.

USUALLY a K-1 applicant (you) does not need to file an I-130 petition for any children - they come in via derivative K-2 status, is different forms, never an I-130.
