I want to file for my wife and daughter, can my daughter be derivative

[OluwaseunA 12]

Hello all,

I want to see if i can mail in my wife and daughter's petition tomorrow,

Just a quick question before i send it.

If i file for my wife, is it required that i file for my 1.5 year old daughter or will the same application cover both of them.

i.e my daughter as derivative.

thanks.

Both can be on the same application if she is biologically your daughter.

 

She must be added in your wife's i130 as derivative.

 

Remember to file for e-notification! It's free.

Edit:

*Biologically her daughter*

yes, my wife is her biological mother, i am the biological father..

if i get you correctly, I will only mail in $535 not $1070

yes if you are a resident

 

If you are a US Citizen, then you will file both cases separately, there aren't any derivatives for immediate relatives of a USC

 

if you are a legal permanent resident, then yes. your stepdaughter will be the derivative of your wife and you will file only 1 i130 if she is under 21
