Guidance Required

[Abdul Wahab Iqbal 0]

Hi Everyone 

I am a born U.s Citizen and moved to Pakistan in 1999. Have not visited since. During my stay here, I got married 2.5 years ago and now have a 6-month-old son..My husband and I intend to go back to my place of birth now, as we believe our child can get a better life and education there. The career opportunities for the both of us are obviously better. I am a graduate with Human Resources as my major and my husband is an SAP consultant.
We both are qualified individuals. I however was not able to work due to the arrival of our son. I wanted to know what the best way would be to go forward with for the immigration procedure of my son and husband.
I do have friends and cousins there who would be happy to help with being guarantors for me. Kindly guide.

I have already filled the I-130 & I-130A for my husband and I-130 for my son. I also need clarification regarding where to file; do I have to post it? In addition, where do I submit the fee and do I fill it before or after filing the form? In addition, as I am submitting two I 130 simultaneously should I mention my husband in my sons form I 130 and vice versa.

Thanks in Advance

How many years did you live in the U.S.?

[JFH 12,196]

Please read ALL of the accompanying instructions for the form before proceeding. The fact that you are asking such elementary questions about the form suggests you have not read the instructions thoroughly, if at all. You may have missed other important information. 

 

Did your son not qualify for US citizenship? How long did you live in the USA and what age were you when you left? 

 

Also, your biggest concern is demonstrating your intent to re establish domicile in a country you left almost 20 years ago. Have you been filing tax returns? Have you maintained a bank account here? Have you looked for work? Where will you live? Many USCs who have been out of the country for many years seem to think they just need to get a visa for their spouse and children and can walk back into the country like they only left yesterday. The government doesn't want that. They want to ensure that the intending immigrants have a life to go to - and it is your responsibility to prove you can support them and provide housing for them. They also want to be certain that you are seeing this as a permanent family move and not a way to obtain visas for people to come here without you.
