Children pettition is on AP

[bola203 0]

My wife went for her interview and they asked her that the children name was on the petition and why she didn't bring the children with her for the interview, and my wife told the co that it was because my income could not cover all the children at once, then the co said to her that she can bring the children now or later. so my wife came to the state and we got married and now we want to bring the children to join us. PlS WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT?

You can bring them to join as long as it has been less than 1 year. if it's been over a year you will have to petition them separately.

Thank you for your reply at NLR, yes its still under a year and how long do you think it wlll take? and what is the next step?

[NikLR 13,234]

You file the DS-160 for them (visa application) and the package 3. Just like the parent did. They then need an interview date and medical. They will have both, get the visa and can immigrate. Then you will adjust their status as well.

Thank for your reply, should i send the forms to USCIS or NVC and how long it takes? They already had a visa number but my wife didnt take them for interview and what do you mean by package 3?

Do you remember all the steps your wife took before interview?

The kids do the EXACT samd thing.

@NRLThank you for the reply. do you think we should email the embassy or uscis or just go ahead to fill out the visa application?

[NikLR 13,234]

You can email the embassy, but I wouldn't bother with the USCIS. Your case is not with them. They can do nothing and do not care.
