i130 approved for wife and child but child will be coming later

[nami33 6]

Hi VJers,

I have a question and if this is redundant, i apologize. My wife and daughter got approved on the same I13O application but i want my daughter to come later (about a year after my wife arrives. NVC has invoiced both of them already but i just paid only my wife's IV fee because i do not want my daughter's IV fee to expire. My question is what do i do when it is time for my daughter to travel? Do i just pay her(my daughter) IV fee and contact NVC or will i be required to refile another I130 for her?. Will she be required to interview? She is just 2years old will be 3 by the time i want her to come over. Thanks in advance for your wise counsel

First of all, an I-130 is not an application, it is a petition form. Secondly, did you file two I-130 forms, the section I put in bold above would indicate that you didn't.

If you didn't file an I-130 for the daughter, then don't do so until you are ready for her to come to the US.

If she does get approved with your wife have her enter then

apply for th permission for her to stay out a year....could

be to finish school.

This is just silly. Finish school for a 2 years old?

Nami.

Are you a US citizen?

Did you file a separate I-130 for your child?

No, she was approved as part of my wife's i130. I never said she was staying back to finish school. A respondent suggested that. She is staying back for other reasons i dont not feel comfortable stating in a public forum. My USC is still pendning but it should be approved before the come over

When would you like your daughter to come to the USA? It makes a difference in what you do now.

Yes, I want her to come but i am in my final year of graduate professional program nad its really tough so that is why i want her to come towards the end of the school year, say june 2014.

Thanks for your response

Maybe leave her out of your wife's I130 and send a stand-alone application for her?

We sent outs in June 2013 and I plan to go there after/towards the end of Summer 2014 (also Grad school, but in my country).

Because he filed as a permanent resident, not a US Citizen, he only needed to file one petition for his spouse, that suffices for the child as well. If he wants the child to come about a year from now, based on the same petition, he's going to have to make arrangements for that. If the child will come more than six months after the wife's visa is issued, the two visas cannot be issued at the same time.

I would express your desires in an email to the Consulate directly, or inquire by phone with a supervisor at NVC about processing the visa applications separetly according to the time frames that work for you. I don't see why NVC wouldn't do that.

This topic is not a CR1 or IR1 topic though. That's why there are so many "off-topic" responses. This topic should be in the forum where bringing family members of permanent residents is discussed.
