Hi

This is my first time posting on here and I would like if someone with knowledge can help me with a few questions about family based immigration. My first question is how does the the immigration process work since my two children have US and Canada citizenships? My husband is a USC and he currently resides in the US and I live in Canada with our two children. When he is filing for a petition for me, does he include our kids or just me even though they live with me? I'm concerned whether or not it affects the household size and application fees for the three of us. If he is suppose to petition for the kids, does the fact that they have legal status in the US make a difference at all? What are the necessary steps to begin this process? Thank you for reading this and if you can help answer or point me in the right direction, would be greatly appreciated.

He will only partition for you, am in UK, my kids are also USA citizens, my husband only did my. In this case is only one person. Hope this helps. All the best

This is the greatest lesson a child can learn. It is the greatest lesson anyone can learn. It has been the greatest lesson I have learned: if you persevere, stick w/it, work @ it, you have a real opportunity to achieve something. Sure, there will be storms along the way. And you might not reach your goal right away. But if you do your best and keep a true compass, you'll get there. Edward M. Kennedy,

Hi,

Your children are US citizens and do not need to be petitioned. They enter based on their US citizenship and US passports.

When your husband files for you, he needs to list all your children. This is for biographical data only. Only you will get a visa.

The household count will include the children on your husband's I-864 since they are his minor children. On a Joint Sponsor's I-864 (if you are using one), the household members would not include your children.

The necessary steps starts with the I-130. Follow the Guides in this site. (Use your computer or full version on your mobile to see.)

Best of luck
