Hello, I'm new and found this topic using the search function. Do I include the I-130s for the children with my wife's package or mail them separately? I would think they all go in the mail as one package but I haven't found it spelled out any place. Thanks in advance!

November 27, 2012 - Married
February 01, 2013 - Mailed I-130 for wife and step kids
February 04, 2013 - Delivered to Phoenix Lock Box
February 08, 2013 - NOA1

May 28, 2013 - InfoPass at Dallas Field Office - Case assigned to an officer and now on her desk to be worked

June 01, 2013 - NOA2 for my wife but the kids had an RFE issued. (day 54 from NOA1)

June 01, 2013 - December 19, 2013 - Case "lost" at the Dallas Field Office
December 19, 2013 - mailed to NVC
January 08, 2014 - NVC received case
February 06, 2014 - NVC assigned case numbers

The I-130's for each beneficiary need to be bundled separately. However, they can be mailed as one big package.

If you are the bio father of the kids there will be no problem. If you are not she will need the signature of the bio father or a court order giving her sole custody. This is submitted directly to the embassy later in the process.
