Derivatives who can follow to join

[f1660114 18]

I am looking for the answers for hypothetical questions regarding the derivatives who can follow to join.

 

Case 1: My uncle petitions my father under F3. I am unmarried and under 21 years old. If I have one kid, is the kid eligible to follow to join?

Case 2: My mother petitions me under F2B. I am single, never married before. Same question, if I have one kid, is the kid eligible to follow to join?

Hi

 

follow to join isn't the correct term, there is no follow to join in these petitions

 

no for the first one, yes for the second one

 

the derivatives go so far as the petitioner's grandchildren which would be you, being your parent's derivative, there aren't any visas for great grandkids

 

so it is best to continue with the second petition your mom's, because just as you are the derivative on your parent's petition, your child will be a derivative on your petition

 

what about the mom, does she agree? will she authorize you to take the child to the US? do you have sole custody of the child?

I looked it up and Following-to-join is the correct term.

I guess you meant to say "because just as you are the principal beneficiary on your parent's petition, your child will be a derivative on your petition."

 

what about the mom, does she agree? will she authorize you to take the child to the US? do you have sole custody of the child?

Actually this is the question asked for one of my female friends. She has sole custody of the child, the father name is absent from birth certificate, and the father is also willing to let the kid immigrate first.
