Greetings fellow visa journey people.

1) Do I need to fill out separate petitions for children, or are they included in their father's I-130 form?

2) If I need to fill out separate petitions for the children, do they also need the G325 form?

Thanks for your time!

Yes, you need to file an I-130 petition for each child and a G-325 for each child. You will also need to pay the Visa Fees for each child as well.

This appears to be one of the most confusing topics. I still get conflicting answers. My own answer to this question is: Yes, you need a separate I-130 petition for each child. No, you don't need a G-325a for a child.

Please let me know where it's said that you need a G-325a for a child. Thank you.

I believe the G-325a requirement begins at age 14....

YMMV

I don't believe that's true. There's no reference the the age of a child in I-130 instructions. You might be confusing it with some other petition that require Form G-325a. For example, the I-485 petition (Adjustment of Status when in the US) also includes the form G-325a.

Hello Pritty,

I too have kid and have a lots experince on it.

My answer:

1) You need a form I-130 for father or mother, other for every kid.

2) Form G-325 is for visa K3K4 but Immigration delete it process.

In CR/IR1 process is individual for everybody. You need will attach documents for every kid.

You must send for USCIS copies documents Birth Certification and traslator to English but

Time up for NVC you must send original documents civil.

You can check in www.travel.state.gov lick in Visa and look for visa type you are in

Immigrants to of US:

Immigrant visa for a Spouse of US Citizie or Spouse of Lawful Permanent Resident.

There information Where you send I-130.

maybe true, but I don't understand the big deal... you are not harmed if you include it...

We just made it through USCIS and NVC and I can absolutely confirm that an I-130 application does NOT require a G-325A to be filed with it for a child. My son is 14.

Good luck!
