Just a few quick questions as I am filing this out right now.

1. I am the USC. My wife is the biological parent of the child we're trying to bring to the USA. She already got her conditional green card. Question is: What's the easiest method here...should I file for my step child or should she file for her?

2. If I am to file for the child: Just need simple clarification on questions 1 and 2 on I-130:

I am filing this petition for my: (Child)

Are you related by adoption: (No) --Just married my wife, I didn't fill out any adoption papers and such, so this should be a 'No' correct?

3. Alien Registration Number: The child was part of the I-129 Fiance application. My wife received her number. Am I to use this same number or just leave blank?

4. Child's address: They will be moving shortly. If I put the present one in, and they move while this petition is still being processed, does it matter?

Thanks in advance.

Just found out my NOA2 approved Oct 25, 2013 is still good. Was automatically extended by the embassy until one year of the last date of notification which is Dec 3, 2013. It's a race now.

1) You should do it. It's about a year if you do it and about 2 if she does it. (I assume the child is under 18 btw.)

2) Yes you put child and no you are not related by adoption.

3) put none

4) no it doesn't matter if they move. Eventually the address will be updated with the DS-260.

Thank you! :)

Hopefully it's less than a year. Philippines was processing petitions quick in 2014, 2015.

quick question again. sorry.


Do I have to submit any documentation of my spouse (biological parent) other than our marriage certificate? Like do I have to submit copies of her green card, passport, etc?

I'm the stepchild of the principal beneficiary, but my dad and my stepmom got married after my 18th birthday. He is elegible for the following to join benefits, but I don't know about me, because their marriage took place after my 18th birthday. And yes, it was after the approval so we already sent our documents for review, but I'm afraid they will not include me because of that. I'm 19 now
