Can a derivate applicant land in USA after the principal applicant?

[Citizen24 6]

Hi everyone,

 

We got our immigration visas in April and it expires on 25th September 2018. 

My mom is the principle applicant and my dad & I are derivative beneficiaries.

 

We're thinking of flying out  on 10th September 2018. My dad has some unfinished business to take care of here in India and hence, we will have to buy a return-ticket for him. Whereas, my  mom & I will be getting only one-way tickets.

Thats why, we may be landing in USA on different times, and maybe even different dates. However, my mom (principle applicant) will land the first for sure.

 

Is that okay? Can my dad come in after us? 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

The principal beneficiary, your mom, must enter first or at the same time as derivative beneficiaries.

 

Derivative beneficiaries can enter at the same time with the principal beneficiary or after the principal beneficiary.

 

Perfectly fine for your dad to come after your mom.

Thank you so much  

Would he have to present some special paperwork or go through any special procedure or anything of the sort?

Or go through immigration like everyone else does?
