Help Please: Bringing children over under K1 within 1 year of issuance

[puntagordabob 0]

Its official she is a perm resident so the discussion is academic. We will go the I-130 route.... they say it will take 12-14 months after we file....this is not entirely a bad delay in that it will allow Lea, Rachel, Russell, and Randolph to finish more of their studies (Lea is actually a HS graduate and in college at 16! Rachel will be a HS graduate in March).... we at this end are sad by the time delay but God's plan is always in motion even if we fail to understand it and nor do we need to.

As far as the land sale... I am disabled (2 total hip replacements ) and we as a family here (Mom is 83) have had a rough time here in Florida since one particular Cat 4/5 hurricane came ashore at our place... our finances were weak as a result.... bringing all four of our children over would have likely resulted in denial due to income. And for quite a while they were not wanting to come to the US (citing that they wanted to finish their studies including college) so we a long period of time that we didnt know what to do...

I love them and wish they could be here tomorrow...but doing things recklessly/fast is not usually the right way..... they have a home to live in that Lucita bought & paid for, so at least they are in a stable and happy (not as happy as here though I hope & pray!) environment...

Thanks for all your help....many of your comments and suggestions really helped out...
