I-130: Information about Benefeciary's Family

[Caro1 78]

Hello VJers,

 

my spouse and I are filling out the I-130 to be able to apply for a CR1 visa soon.

My spouse is the USC petitioner, I am the foreign living beneficiary. This marriage to my USC spouse is my first marriage. I do not have any biological children.

However my USC spouse has a son from a previous marriage, who was 16 at the time of marriage (and still is 16).

Not sure if the age has anything to do with it, but since we are married, he would be considered my step-son, correct?

 

On Part 4, Page 6, Answers 25-32, it asks for Information about Benefeciary's Family, more specifically "provide Information about the Beneficiay's spouse and children."

On Answers 25-28, I would obviously the Information of my spouse.

 

Is it correct to put my spouse's son information in answers 29-32?

Even if I obviously do not want him to immigrate with me as he is already there?

Or is he not even considered fitting into the category of "beneficiary's spouse and children", since he is technically not MY child?

 

Maybe I'm overthinking. I just don't want to confuse the USCIS.

 

Thanks!

I would not list him as your step son as he is not your child. 

He can be listed on the petitioner's children only.
